(17) When [Abram] returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh, which is the Valley of the King. (18) And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was a priest of God Most High / El Elyon. (19) He blessed him, saying,
“Blessed be Abram of God Most High / El Elyon, Creator of heaven and earth / Koneh shamayim v'a'aretz. (20) And blessed be God Most High / El Elyon, Who has delivered your foes into your hand."
And [Abram] gave him a tenth of everything.
(21) Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons/nefesh, and take the possessions for yourself.”
(22) But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I swear to ה', God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth / Koneh shamayim v'a'aretz: (23) I will not take so much as a thread or a sandal strap of what is yours; you shall not say, ‘It is I who made Abram rich.’ (24) For me, nothing but what my servants have used up; as for the share of the parties who went with me—Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre—let them take their share.”
