18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.
19 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." Abram gave him a tenth of all.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself."
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
23 that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, `I have made Abram rich.`
24 Except only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre: let them take their portion."
