Genesis 14:11
βAnd they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 14Meaning
The victors strip Sodom and Gomorrah of goods and provisions before leaving the region.
Read carefully
The story describes ancient wartime plunder; description should not be mistaken for ethical endorsement of plunder.
Reflection
Genesis can portray violent customs realistically while later evaluating Abram by different moral choices.
