OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said the_king of_Şədom to Abram give to_me the_living_creatures and_the_goods take to/for_you(fs).
OET (OET-RV) Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give my people back to me, but keep the possessions for yourself.”
וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מֶֽלֶךְ סְדֹ֖ם אֶל־אַבְרָ֑ם
and=he/it_said king Şədom to/towards Avram
Alternate translation: “Then the king of Sodom requested of Abram,” or “After that, the king over the city of Sodom urged Abram,”
Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
תֶּן לִ֣י
give to=me
Make sure in your translation that the king of Sodom’s request to Abram sounds polite, not rude or demanding. Alternate translation: “Please give to me”
הַנֶּ֔פֶשׁ
the=living_creatures
Alternate translation: “my people whom you saved,” or “the people from Sodom whom you rescued,”
וְהָרְכֻ֖שׁ קַֽח לָֽךְ
and,the,goods take to/for=you(fs)
See how you translated possessions in verses 11-12,16. Alternate translation: “but the plunder you may keep for yourself.” or “but take for yourself the belongings that you recovered.”
14:21-24 Abram knew that accepting the offer of the king of Sodom (see study note on 14:1-2) could make him his ally or subject, as Lot had been. This would jeopardize the fulfillment of God’s promises. Faith looks beyond the riches of the world to the greater blessings that God has in store.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
