BERESHITH (GENESIS) 14

Gen 14:1 And it came to be in the days of Amraphel sovereign of Shin‛ar,
Aryoḵ sovereign of Ellasar, Keḏorla‛omer sovereign of Ĕylam, and Tiḏ‛al
sovereign of Goyim,
Gen 14:2 that they fought against Bera sovereign of Seḏom, Birsha sovereign
of Amorah, Shinaḇ sovereign of Aḏmah, Shem’ĕḇer sovereign of Tseḇoyim,
and the sovereign of Bela, that is Tso‛ar.
Gen 14:3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim, that is the Salt
Sea.
Gen 14:4 Twelve years they served Keḏorla‛omer, and in the thirteenth year
they rebelled.
Gen 14:5 And in the fourteenth year Keḏorla‛omer and the sovereigns that
were with him came and smote the Repha’im in Ashteroth Qarnayim, and the
Zuzim in Ḥam, and the Ĕmites in Shawĕh Qiryathayim,
Gen 14:6 and the Ḥorites in their mountain of Sĕ‛ir, as far as Ĕl Paran,
which is by the wilderness.
Gen 14:7 And they turned back and came to Ĕn Mishpat, that is Qaḏĕsh, and
smote all the country of the Amalĕqites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in
Ḥatsetson Tamar.
Gen 14:8 And the sovereign of Seḏom, and the sovereign of Amorah, and the
sovereign of Aḏmah, and the sovereign of Tseḇoyim, and the sovereign of
Bela, that is Tso‛ar, went out and joined together in battle in the Valley of
Siddim,
Gen 14:9 against Keḏorla‛omer sovereign of Ĕylam, and Tiḏ‛al sovereign of
Goyim, and Amraphel sovereign of Shin‛ar, and Aryoḵ sovereign of Ellasar –
four sovereigns against five.
Gen 14:10 And the Valley of Siddim had many tar pits. And the sovereigns
of Seḏom and Amorah fled and fell there, and the remainder fled to the
mountains.
Gen 14:11 And they took all the goods of Seḏom and Amorah, and all their
food, and went away.
Gen 14:12 And they took Lot, Aḇram’s brother’s son who dwelt in Seḏom,
and his goods, and left.
Gen 14:13 And one who had escaped came and informed Aḇram the
Heḇrew, for he dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamrĕ the Amorite, brother of
Eshkol and brother of Anĕr, and they had a covenant with Aḇram.
Gen 14:14 And when Aḇram heard that his brother was taken captive, he
armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were born in his
own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.
Gen 14:15 And he and his servants divided against them by night, and smote
them and pursued them as far as Ḥoḇah, which is on the left of Damascus.
Gen 14:16 So he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his
brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people.
Gen 14:17 And after his return from the defeat of Keḏorla‛omer and the
sovereigns who were with him, the sovereign of Seḏom came out to meet him
at the Valley of Shawĕh, that is, the Sovereign’s Valley.
Gen 14:18 And Malkitseḏeq sovereign of Shalĕm brought out bread and
wine. Now he was the priest of the Most High Ĕl.
Gen 14:19 And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Aḇram of the Most
High Ĕl, Possessor of the heavens and earth.
Gen 14:20 “And blessed be the Most High Ĕl who has delivered your
enemies into your hand.” And he gave him a tenth of all.
Gen 14:21 And the sovereign of Seḏom said to Aḇram, “Give me the
people, and take the goods for yourself.”
Gen 14:22 But Aḇram said to the sovereign of Seḏom, “I have lifted my
hand to יהוה, the Most High Ĕl, the Possessor of the heavens and earth,
Gen 14:23 not to take a thread or a sandal strap or whatever is yours, lest
you should say, ‘I have made Aḇram rich,’
Gen 14:24 except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the
men who went with me: Anĕr, Eshkol, and Mamrĕ. Let them take their
portion.”
