Genesis 14:18-23
English Standard Version
18 And (A)Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was (B)priest of (C)God Most High.) 19 And he blessed him and said,
(D)“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
(E)Possessor[a] of heaven and earth;
20 and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”
And Abram gave him (F)a tenth of everything. 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, (G)“I have lifted my hand[b] to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (H)I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
