18. And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;
19. and he blesseth him, and saith, `Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;
20. and blessed [is] God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;' and he giveth to him a tenth of all.
21. And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, `Give to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,'
22. and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, `I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and earth--
23. from 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;
24. save 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.'
