1 And when the sovereign of Seḏom had come to me, he said to me, Aḇraham, give me the persons who are not your but who are with you whom you have rescued from the hand of Amraphel, son of Nimroḏ, sovereign of Shin’ar, but let all the property be left with you.
2 But I said to him, This day do I, Aḇraham, lift up my hand before the Most High Elohim, before His qodesh messengers and before these witnesses who are with us and declare that I will not take even so much as a thread or a shoe’s latchet which is not mine, lest you should say that all Aḇraham’s wealth cometh really from their possession.
3 Only that which the young men who are with me have eaten and that which Aneram, Eshkol, and Mamrĕ, these three stalwarts who went with me, have received as their share shall be excepted of all that I took from Amraphel, son of Nimroḏ, sovereign of Shin’ar that was thine.
4 The rest I return freely to you.
5 Now go your way in peace.
6 Thereupon, I returned all the possessions and all the spoil and gave them to the sovereign of Seḏom and I released all the captives and sent them away rejoicing.
