Context Reading
16He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people. 17After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). 18Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine — since he was priest of God Most High — 19and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 20and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
