23 that I will not take from all thy goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich. that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’

Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.” I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
