Blessed be Abram of

Abram, “
Give me the people
, but
take the goods for
yourself

, and
take the goods to
thyself
.
But
Abram replied
to the king of Sodom, “
I have raised
my hand to
the
LORD
God Most High, Creator
of heaven and earth,
And
Abram said
to the king of Sodom, I have lifted
up
my hand unto
Jehovah,
God Most High, possessor
of heaven and earth,
that I will not accept
even
a thread ,
or
a
strap
of
a sandal,
or
anything
that belongs
to
you
, lest you
should
say, ‘
I have made Abram rich .’
that I will not take
a thread nor
a shoe-latchet
nor
aught
that is
thine
, lest thou
shouldest
say, I have made Abram rich :
I
will
accept
nothing
but
what
my
men have eaten and the share
for
the men who
went with me —
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They
may
take their portion. ”
save
only
that
which
the
young
men have eaten ,
and the portion
of
the men that
went with me ,
Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let
them
take their portion.
