And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And [Abram] gave him a tenth of all.

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the goods to thyself.

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham, for I have made thee the father of a multitude of nations.

Thou are LORD, the God who chose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham,

Abram (the same is Abraham).
