Itaque rex Sodomae et Gomorrae terga verterunt cecideruntque illuc; et, qui remanserant, fugerunt ad montem.	10 Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.

14 Quod cum audisset Abram, captum videlicet Lot fratrem suum, numeravit expeditos vernaculos suos trecentos decem et octo et persecutus est usque Dan;	14 When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.
15 et, divisis sociis, irruit super eos nocte percussitque eos et persecutus est eos usque Hoba, quae est ad laevam Damasci;	15 And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

20 et benedictus Deus excelsus, qui tradidit hostes tuos in manus tuas”. Et dedit ei decimas ex omnibus.	20 And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.
21 Dixit autem rex Sodomae ad Abram: “Da mihi animas; substantiam tolle tibi”.	21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”
22 Qui respondit ei: “Levo manum meam ad Dominum, Deum excelsum, creatorem caeli et terrae,	22 And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
23 a filo subteminis usque ad corrigiam caligae non accipiam ex omnibus, quae tua sunt, ne dicas: "Ego ditavi Abram";	23 that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’
24 exceptis his, quae comederunt iuvenes, et partibus virorum, qui venerunt mecum, Aner, Eschol et Mambre: isti accipient partes suas”.	24 except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
