the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him,
at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
014:018 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine:
and he was priest of God Most High.
014:019 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
possessor of heaven and earth:
014:020 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies
into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of all.
014:021 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people,
and take the goods to yourself."
014:022 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand
to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
014:023 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything
that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
014:024 I will accept nothing from you except 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."
015:001 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in
a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield,
your exceedingly great reward."
015:002 Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, seeing I
go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is
Eliezer of Damascus?"
015:003 Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed:
and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."
015:004 Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will
not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own
body will be your heir."
015:005 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky,
and count the stars, if you are able to count them."
