| 17 | After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). | Melchizedek blesses Abram. Gn.14.17-24 | וַיֵּצֵא מֶלֶךְ־סְדֹם לִקְרָאתֹו אַחֲרֵי שׁוּבֹו מֵהַכֹּות אֶת־כְּדָר־לָעֹמֶר וְאֶת־הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר אִתֹּו אֶל־עֵמֶק שָׁוֵה הוּא עֵמֶק הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ |
| 18 | And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High. | וּמַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק מֶלֶךְ שָׁלֵם הֹוצִיא לֶחֶם וָיָיִן וְהוּא כֹהֵן לְאֵל עֶלְיֹון׃ | |
| 19 | And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, | וַיְבָרְכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמַר בָּרוּךְ אַבְרָם לְאֵל עֶלְיֹון קֹנֵה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 20 | and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!" And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. | וּבָרוּךְ אֵל עֶלְיֹון אֲשֶׁר־מִגֵּן צָרֶיךָ בְּיָדֶךָ וַיִּתֶּן־לֹו מַעֲשֵׂר מִכֹּל׃ | |
| 21 | And the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself." | וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ־סְדֹם אֶל־אַבְרָם תֶּן־לִי הַנֶּפֶשׁ וְהָרְכֻשׁ קַח־לָךְ׃ | |
| 22 | But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to Yahweh God Most High, maker of heaven and earth, | וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָם אֶל־מֶלֶךְ סְדֹם הֲרִימֹתִי יָדִי אֶל־יְהוָה אֵל עֶלְיֹון קֹנֵה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 23 | that I would not take a thread or a sandal-thong or anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.' | אִם־מִחוּט וְעַד שְׂרֹוךְ־נַעַל וְאִם־אֶקַּח מִכָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לָךְ וְלֹא תֹאמַר אֲנִי הֶעֱשַׁרְתִּי אֶת־אַבְרָם׃ | |
| 24 | I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me; let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share." | בִּלְעָדַי רַק אֲשֶׁר אָכְלוּ הַנְּעָרִים וְחֵלֶק הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ אִתִּי עָנֵר אֶשְׁכֹּל וּמַמְרֵא הֵם יִקְחוּ חֶלְקָם׃ ס | |
