¹ 当暗拉非作示拿王，亚略作以拉撒王，基大老玛作以拦王，提达作戈印王的时候，

² 他们都攻打所多玛王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押玛王示纳、洗扁王善以别，和比拉王；比拉就是琐珥。

³ 这五王都在西订谷会合；西订谷就是盐海。

⁴ 他们已经事奉基大老玛十二年，到十三年就背叛了。

⁵ 十四年，基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律加宁，杀败了利乏音人，在哈麦杀败了苏西人，在沙微基列亭杀败了以米人，

⁶ 在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人，一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒巴兰。

⁷ 他们回到安密巴，就是加低斯，杀败了亚玛力全地的人，以及住在哈洗逊他玛的亚摩利人。

⁸ 於是所多玛王、蛾摩拉王、押玛王、洗扁王，和比拉王（比拉就是琐珥）都出来，在西订谷摆阵，与他们交战，

⁹ 就是与以拦王基大老玛、戈印王提达、示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亚略交战；乃是四王与五王交战。

¹⁰ 西订谷有许多石漆坑。所多玛王和蛾摩拉王逃跑，有掉在坑里的，其馀的人都往山上逃跑。

¹¹ 四王就把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物，并一切的粮食都掳掠去了；

¹² 又把亚伯兰的侄儿罗得和罗得的财物掳掠去了。当时罗得正住在所多玛。

¹³ 有一个逃出来的人告诉希伯来人亚伯兰；亚伯兰正住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里。幔利和以实各并亚乃都是弟兄，曾与亚伯兰联盟。

¹⁴ 亚伯兰听见他侄儿(原文作弟兄)被掳去，就率领他家里生养的精练壮丁三百一十八人，直追到但，

¹⁵ 便在夜间，自己同仆人分队杀败敌人，又追到大马色左边的何把，

¹⁶ 将被掳掠的一切财物夺回来，连他侄儿罗得和他的财物，以及妇女、人民也都夺回来。

¹⁷ 亚伯兰杀败基大老玛和与他同盟的王回来的时候，所多玛王出来，在沙微谷迎接他；沙微谷就是王谷。

¹⁸ 又有撒冷王麦基洗德带着饼和酒出来迎接；他是至高神的祭司。

¹⁹ 他为亚伯兰祝福，说：愿天地的主、至高的神赐福与亚伯兰！

²⁰ 至高的神把敌人交在你手里，是应当称颂的！亚伯兰就把所得的拿出十分之一来，给麦基洗德。

²¹ 所多玛王对亚伯兰说：你把人口给我，财物你自己拿去罢！

²² 亚伯兰对所多玛王说：我已经向天地的主─至高的神耶和华起誓：

²³ 凡是你的东西，就是一根线、一根鞋带，我都不拿，免得你说：我使亚伯兰富足！

²⁴ 只有仆人所吃的，并与我同行的亚乃、以实各、幔利所应得的分，可以任凭他们拿去。

¹ After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

² Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"

³ Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."

⁴ Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

⁵ Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So shall your seed be."

⁶ He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

⁷ He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."

⁸ He said, "Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"

⁹ He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

¹⁰ He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.

¹¹ The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

¹² When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.

¹³ He said to Abram, "Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

¹⁴ I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth,

¹⁵ but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.

¹⁶ In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."

¹⁷ It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

¹⁸ In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

¹⁹ the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

²⁰ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

²¹ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
