1 Επι των ημερων δε του Αμαρφελ βασιλεως Σεννααρ, του Αριωχ βασιλεως Ελλασαρ, του Χοδολλογομορ βασιλεως Ελαμ, και του Θαργαλ βασιλεως εθνων,

2 εκαμον αυτοι πολεμον μετα του Βερα βασιλεως Σοδομων, και του Βαρσα βασιλεως Γομορρων, του Σεννααβ βασιλεως Αδαμα, και του Σεμοβορ βασιλεως Σεβωειμ, και του βασιλεως της Βελα· αυτη ειναι η Σηγωρ.

3 Παντες ουτοι ηνωθησαν ομου εν τη κοιλαδι Σιδδιμ ητις ειναι η αλμυρα θαλασσα.

4 Δωδεκα ετη εδουλευον εις τον Χοδολλογομορ· εν δε τω δεκατω τριτω απεστατησαν.

5 Και εν τω δεκατω τεταρτω ετει ηλθεν ο Χοδολλογομορ και οι βασιλεις οι μετ' αυτου, και επαταξαν τους Ραφαειμ εν Ασταρωθ-καρναιμ, και τους Ζουζειμ εν Αμ, και τους Εμμαιους εν Σαυη-κιριαθαιμ,

6 και τους Χορραιους εν τω ορει αυτων Σηειρ εως της πεδιαδος Φαραν, ητις ειναι εν τη ερημω.

7 Επεστρεψαν δε και ηλθον εις την Εν-μισπατ ητις ειναι η Καδης· και επαταξαν παντα τον τοπον του Αμαληκ, και τους Αμορραιους τους κατοικουντας εν Ασασων-θαμαρ.

8 Εξηλθε δε ο βασιλευς των Σοδομων, και ο βασιλευς των Γομορρων, και ο βασιλευς της Αδαμα, και ο βασιλευς των Σεβωειμ, και ο βασιλευς της Βελα, ητις ειναι η Σηγωρ· και συνεκροτησαν μαχην μετ' αυτων εν τη κοιλαδι Σιδδιμ,

9 μετα του Χοδολλογομορ βασιλεως Ελαμ, και του Θαργαλ βασιλεως εθνων, και του Αμραφελ βασιλεως Σεννααρ, και του Αριωχ βασιλεως Ελλασαρ· τεσσαρες βασιλεις προς πεντε.

10 Η δε κοιλας Σιδδιμ ητο πληρης φρεατων ασφαλτου· ετραπησαν δε εις φυγην οι βασιλεις των Σοδομων και των Γομορρων και επεσον εκει· οι δε εναπολειφθεντες εφυγον εις το ορος.

11 Και ελαβον παντα τα υπαρχοντα των Σοδομων και των Γομορρων και πασαν αυτων την ζωοτροφιαν, και ανεχωρησαν.

12 Ελαβον δε και τον Λωτ υιον του αδελφου του Αβραμ, οστις κατωκει εν Σοδομοις, και τα υπαρχοντα αυτου, και ανεχωρησαν.

13 Υπηγε δε τις εκ των διασωθεντων και απηγγειλε τουτο προς τον Αβραμ τον Εβραιον, οστις κατωκει πλησιον των δρυων Μαμβρη του Αμορραιου, αδελφου του Εσχωλ, και αδελφου του Ανηρ, οιτινες ησαν συμμαχοι του Αβραμ.

14 Ακουσας δε ο Αβραμ οτι ηχμαλωτισθη ο αδελφος αυτου, εφωπλισε τριακοσιους δεκαοκτω εκ των δουλων αυτου, των γεννηθεντων εν τη οικια αυτου, και κατεδιωξεν οπισω αυτων εως Δαν.

15 Και διαιρεσας τους εαυτου ωρμησε κατ' αυτων την νυκτα, αυτος και οι δουλοι αυτου, και επαταξεν αυτους, και κατεδιωξεν αυτους εως Χοβα ητις ειναι κατα τα αριστερα της Δαμασκου.

16 Και επανεφερε παντα τα υπαρχοντα και ετι επανεφερε Λωτ τον αδελφον αυτου και τα υπαρχοντα αυτου, ετι δε και τας γυναικας και τον λαον.

17 Εξηλθε δε ο βασιλευς των Σοδομων εις συναντησιν αυτου, αφου επεστρεψεν απο της καταστροφης του Χοδολλογομορ και των βασιλεων των μετ' αυτου, εν τη κοιλαδι Σαυη ητις ειναι η κοιλας του βασιλεως.

18 Και ο Μελχισεδεκ βασιλευς Σαλημ εφερεν εξω αρτον και οινον· ητο δε ιερευς του Θεου του Υψιστου.

19 Και ευλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν, Ευλογημενος ο Αβραμ παρα του Θεου του Υψιστου, οστις εκτισε τον ουρανον και την γην·

20 και ευλογητος ο Θεος ο Υψιστος οστις παρεδωκε τους εχθρους σου εις την χειρα σου. Και Αβραμ εδωκεν εις αυτον δεκατον απο παντων.

21 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς των Σοδομων προς τον Αβραμ, Δος μοι τους ανθρωπους, τα δε υπαρχοντα λαβε εις σεαυτον.

22 Ειπε δε ο Αβραμ προς τον βασιλεα των Σοδομων, Εγω υψωσα την χειρα μου προς Κυριον, τον Θεον τον Υψιστον, οστις εκτισε τον ουρανον και την γην,

23 οτι δεν θελω λαβει απο παντων των ιδικων σου απο κλωστης εως λωριου υποδηματος, δια να μη ειπης, Εγω επλουτισα τον Αβραμ·

24 εκτος μονον εκεινου το οποιον εφαγον οι νεοι, και της μεριδος των ανθρωπων των ελθοντων μετ' εμου, του Ανηρ του Εσχωλ και του Μαμβρη, ουτοι ας λαβωσι την μεριδα αυτων.

1736. The fact that the Lord is Jehovah, who is here called 'God Most High', is quite clear from the Word: in Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth He is called. Isaiah 54:5.

Here it is explicitly stated that 'the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel', who is the Lord alone, is 'Jehovah Zebaoth' and 'the God of the whole earth'. In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah your God. Isaiah 48:17.

In the same prophet,

I am helping you, said Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14.

The expressions 'the Holy One of Israel' and 'the God of Israel' occur many times. That the Lord is the Holy One of Israel and the God of Israel is quite clear from where it is said that they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet there was so to speak a paved work of sapphire stone, like the substance of the sky for purity, Exodus 24:10.

[2] None other was acknowledged and called Jehovah by the Jewish Church because that Church worshipped the one God Jehovah, and more importantly, because all the religious observances of that Church represented Him -- though the majority did not know this - and because all things in the internal sense of the Word had Him as their meaning. In Isaiah,

He will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from all faces. And it will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God, we have waited for Him and He will save us. This is Jehovah, whom we have waited for; let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Isaiah 25:8-9.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord.

[3] In the same prophet,

Behold, the Lord Jehovih will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him. He will pasture His flock like a shepherd, He will gather into His arm, He will carry the tiny lambs in His bosom, 1 and will lead those that give suck. Isaiah 40:10-11.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who is 'the Lord Jehovih'. 'He will come with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him' stands for the fact that He would by His own power overcome the hells. 'Pasturing the flock', 'gathering into His arm', 'carrying the tiny lambs in His bosom', and 'leading those that give suck' have reference to His love, or mercy.

[4] In the same prophet,

Thus said Jehovah, God Himself who created the heavens, who formed the earth and made it, who Himself established it and created it not an emptiness, and formed it to dwell in: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Am not I Jehovah and there is no God else besides Me? A just God, and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Look to Me and be saved, all ends of the earth. For I am God and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18, 21-22.

Here it is explicitly stated that the Lord alone is Jehovah and God. 'To create the heavens and form the earth' is to regenerate, and so 'the Creator of heaven and earth' is the Regenerator, see 16, 88, 472, and elsewhere. This is why the Lord is in various places called Creator, One who forms, and Maker.

[5] In the same prophet,

You are our Father, for Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our rather, our Redeemer; from of old is Your name. Isaiah 63:15-16.

This refers explicitly to the Lord who alone is the Redeemer. In Moses,

Take notice of His face, 2 and hearken to His voice, lest you provoke Him, for He will not endure your transgression, for My name is in the midst of Him. Exodus 23:21.

'Name' is the essential nature, see 144, 145, while 'in the midst' is the inmost, 1074.

[6] In Isaiah,

To us a Boy is born, to us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. His name will be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6-7.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Jeremiah,

Behold, the days are coming and I will raise up for David a righteous branch and He will reign as King, and act with understanding, and execute judgement and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell with confidence. And this is His name which they will call Him, Jehovah our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5-6.

This plainly refers to the Lord. In Zechariah,

Jehovah will be King over all the earth; in that day there will be one Jehovah, and His name one. Zechariah 14:9.

This is plainly a reference to the Lord. 'Name' stands for Essential Nature.
