Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יִּתֶּן־ל֥⁠וֹ

The pronoun he refers to Abram and the pronoun him refers to Melchizekek. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the persons' names here, as modelled by the UST.

מִ⁠כֹּֽל

The author assumes that his readers will understand that everything means all that Abram recovered and brought back with him to return to Sodom. It does not mean everything that exists. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [of everything that he had captured in the battle] or [of all the plunder he had brought back from the battle]
