εξηλθεν δε βασιλευς σοδομων και βασιλευς γομορρας και βασιλευς αδαμα και βασιλευς σεβωιμ και βασιλευς βαλακ αυτη εστιν σηγωρ και παρεταξαντο αυτοις εις πολεμον εν τη κοιλαδι τη αλυκη
Genesis 14:8
Arcana Coelestia #1747
1747. Verse 23 That not a thread, nor even the latchet of a shoe, nor anything that is yours will I take, lest you say, I have made Abram rich. 'That not a thread, nor even the latchet of a shoe' means all things, natural and bodily, that were unclean. 'Nor anything that is yours will I take' means that nothing of that nature exists with celestial love. 'Lest you say, I have made Abram rich' means that the Lord acquired no strength whatever from such a source.
