Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.
19
And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;
20
And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tithe of all.
21
Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself."
22
But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
23
that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich'--
24
except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion."
