1 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῇ αμαρφαλ βασιλέως σεννααρ αριωχ βασιλεὺς ελλασαρ καὶ χοδολλογομορ βασιλεὺς αιλαμ καὶ θαργαλ βασιλεὺς ἐθνῶν

2 ἐποίησαν πόλεμον μετὰ βαλλα βασιλέως σοδομων καὶ μετὰ βαρσα βασιλέως γομορρας καὶ σεννααρ βασιλέως αδαμα καὶ συμοβορ βασιλέως σεβωιμ καὶ βασιλέως βαλακ αὕτη ἐστὶν σηγωρ

3 πάντες οὗτοι συνεφώνησαν ἐπὶ τὴν φάραγγα τὴν ἁλυκήν αὕτη ἡ θάλασσα τῶν ἁλῶν

4 δώδεκα ἔτη ἐδούλευον τῷ χοδολλογομορ τῷ δὲ τρισκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἀπέστησαν

5 ἐν δὲ τῷ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει ἦλθεν χοδολλογομορ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέκοψαν τοὺς γίγαντας τοὺς ἐν ασταρωθ καρναιν καὶ ἔθνη ἰσχυρὰ ἅμα αὐτοῖς καὶ τοὺς ομμαίους τοὺς ἐν σαυη τῇ πόλει

6 καὶ τοὺς χορραίους τοὺς ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν σηιρ ἕως τῆς τερεμίνθου τῆς φαραν ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

7 καὶ ἀναστρέψαντες ἤλθοσαν ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν τῆς κρίσεως αὕτη ἐστὶν καδης καὶ κατέκοψαν πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας αμαληκ καὶ τοὺς αμορραίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ασασανθαμαρ

8 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ βασιλεὺς σοδομων καὶ βασιλεὺς γομορρας καὶ βασιλεὺς αδαμα καὶ βασιλεὺς σεβωιμ καὶ βασιλεὺς βαλακ αὕτη ἐστὶν σηγωρ καὶ παρετάξαντο αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῇ ἁλυκῇ

9 πρὸς χοδολλογομορ βασιλέα αιλαμ καὶ θαργαλ βασιλέα ἐθνῶν καὶ αμαρφαλ βασιλέα σεννααρ καὶ αριωχ βασιλέα ελλασαρ οἱ τέσσαρες βασιλεῖς πρὸς τοὺς πέντε

10 ἡ δὲ κοιλὰς ἡ ἁλυκὴ φρέατα φρέατα ἀσφάλτου ἔφυγεν δὲ βασιλεὺς σοδομων καὶ βασιλεὺς γομορρας καὶ ἐνέπεσαν ἐκεῖ οἱ δὲ καταλειφθέντες εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν ἔφυγον

11 ἔλαβον δὲ τὴν ἵππον πᾶσαν τὴν σοδομων καὶ γομορρας καὶ πάντα τὰ βρώματα αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπῆλθον

12 ἔλαβον δὲ καὶ τὸν λωτ υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αβραμ καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῴχοντο ἦν γὰρ κατοικῶν ἐν σοδομοις

13 παραγενόμενος δὲ τῶν ἀνασωθέντων τις ἀπήγγειλεν αβραμ τῷ περάτῃ αὐτὸς δὲ κατῴκει πρὸς τῇ δρυὶ τῇ μαμβρη ὁ αμορις τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ εσχωλ καὶ ἀδελφοῦ αυναν οἳ ἦσαν συνωμόται τοῦ αβραμ

14 ἀκούσας δὲ αβραμ ὅτι ᾐχμαλώτευται λωτ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἠρίθμησεν τοὺς ἰδίους οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ τριακοσίους δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως δαν

15 καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τὴν νύκτα αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐδίωξεν αὐτοὺς ἕως χωβα ἥ ἐστιν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ δαμασκοῦ

16 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν πᾶσαν τὴν ἵππον σοδομων καὶ λωτ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπέστρεψεν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὸν λαόν

17 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ βασιλεὺς σοδομων εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ μετὰ τὸ ἀναστρέψαι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τοῦ χοδολλογομορ καὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῶν μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τὴν σαυη τοῦτο ἦν τὸ πεδίον βασιλέως

18 καὶ μελχισεδεκ βασιλεὺς σαλημ ἐξήνεγκεν ἄρτους καὶ οἶνον ἦν δὲ ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου

19 καὶ ηὐλόγησεν τὸν αβραμ καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογημένος αβραμ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ὑψίστῳ ὃς ἔκτισεν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν

20 καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος ὃς παρέδωκεν τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποχειρίους σοι καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων

21 εἶπεν δὲ βασιλεὺς σοδομων πρὸς αβραμ δός μοι τοὺς ἄνδρας τὴν δὲ ἵππον λαβὲ σεαυτῷ

22 εἶπεν δὲ αβραμ πρὸς βασιλέα σοδομων ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τὸν ὕψιστον ὃς ἔκτισεν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν

23 εἰ ἀπὸ σπαρτίου ἕως σφαιρωτῆρος ὑποδήματος λήμψομαι ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν σῶν ἵνα μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐπλούτισα τὸν αβραμ

24 πλὴν ὧν ἔφαγον οἱ νεανίσκοι καὶ τῆς μερίδος τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν συμπορευθέντων μετ' ἐμοῦ εσχωλ αυναν μαμβρη οὗτοι λήμψονται μερίδα

1702. That 'Abram the Hebrew' is the Interior Man to whom the Internal or Divine Man was joined becomes clear from the meaning of Abram the Hebrew, that is, from Abram's descriptive name used here 'the Hebrew'. In what has gone before and in what follows where Abram is referred to he is not called 'the Hebrew'. Only here is he called such, and therefore something distinct with regard to the Lord is represented and meant by 'Abram the Hebrew'. What is represented and meant becomes clear from the internal sense, namely this, that the Interior Man was joined to the Internal or Divine Man, as becomes clear also from the train of thought in the internal sense. The name 'the Hebrews' occurs in the Word when something to do with service is meant, whatever it may be, as becomes clear from what follows. The Interior Man is such that it serves the Internal or Divine Man, and therefore the Interior Man is here called 'Abram the Hebrew'.

[2] What the interior man is scarcely anyone knows, and therefore let this be described briefly. The interior man is situated between the internal man and the external man, it being by means of the interior man that the internal man communicates with the external. Without the interior man between them no communication from one to the other is ever possible. The celestial is distinct and separate from the natural, and still more from the bodily; and unless there is something in between through which communication is established the celestial cannot possibly operate into the natural, still less into the bodily. The interior man is called the rational man, and because that man is situated between the two, it communicates in one direction with the internal man where there is good itself and truth itself, and in the other with the external man where there is evil and falsity. By means of this communication with the internal man a person is able to think about celestial and spiritual things, or look upwards, which animals cannot do; and by means of his communication with the external man a person is able to think about worldly and bodily things, or look downwards almost in the way animals do which likewise possess ideas of earthly things. In short, the interior man, or the man between internal man and external, is the rational man itself, which is spiritual or celestial when looking upwards but merely animal when looking downwards.

[3] It is well known that a person can be aware of the fact that he is speaking in one way while thinking in another, and doing one thing while willing another, and that presence and deception are present; also that reason or rationality exists, and that this is something interior since it is able to dissent; also that with one who is to be regenerated something interior exists which battles with that which is exterior. This interior something which thinks differently and wills differently from that which is exterior, and which battles with it, is the interior man. Within this interior man conscience resides in the case of the spiritual man and perception in the case of the celestial man. This Interior Man, which was joined in the Lord's case to the Divine Internal Man, is that which is here called 'Abram the Hebrew'.
