And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of the heavens and of the earth,

23 q ue não aceitarei nada do que lhe pertence, nem mesmo um cordão ou uma correia de sandália, para que você jamais venha a dizer: ‘Eu enriqueci Abrão’.

that I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet; I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou should say, I have made Abram rich,

except only that which the young men have eaten and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, who shall take their portion.
