Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
בִּלְעָדַ֗י רַ֚ק
nothing,I only
Consider what is the best way in your language to translate this exception sentence. Alternate translation: “So I will not keep anything, except” or “So I will only accept”
אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽכְל֣וּ הַנְּעָרִ֔ים
which/who eaten the,young_men
These young men were Abram’s trained servants or warriors who are mentioned in verses 14-15. Alternate translation: “what my servants who fought with me have eaten” or “what my men ate”
וְחֵ֨לֶק֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָלְכ֖וּ אִתִּ֑י עָנֵר֙ אֶשְׁכֹּ֣ל וּמַמְרֵ֔א
and,share the,men which/who went with,me Aner Eshcol and,Mamre
Alternate translation: “and the share of the plunder that Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre deserve for being my allies” or “and what Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre deserve for helping me in the battle.”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
הֵ֖ם יִקְח֥וּ
they take
Abram is being polite, but make sure in your translation that he does not sound like he is begging, especially since he is a mighty warrior. Alternate translation: “Please let them take” or “Please give them”
חֶלְקָֽם
share,their
Alternate translation: “their share of the plunder.” or “their part of what we 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.
