18And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;
19and he blesseth him, and saith, `Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;
20and blessed [is] God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;` and he giveth to him a tenth of all.
21And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, `Give to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,`
22and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, `I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and earth --
23from a thread even unto a shoe-latchet I take not of anything which thou hast, that thou say not, I -- I have made Abram rich;
24save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me -- Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre -- they take their portion.`
