16. So he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people.
17. And after his return from the defeat of Keḏorla‛omer and the sovereigns who were with him, the sovereign of Seḏom came out to meet him at the Valley of Shawĕh, that is, the Sovereign’s Valley.

19. And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Aḇram of the Most High Ěl, Possessor of the heavens and earth.
20. “And blessed be the Most High Ěl who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave him a tenth of all.
21. And the sovereign of Seḏom said to Aḇram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
22. But Aḇram said to the sovereign of Seḏom, “I have lifted my hand to יהוה, the Most High Ěl, the Possessor of the heavens and earth,
23. not to take a thread or a sandal strap or whatever is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Aḇram rich,’
24. except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Anĕr, Eshkol, and Mamrĕ. Let them take their portion.”
