Genesis 14:22
“And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,”
KJV
Read in Genesis 14Meaning
Abram grounds his coming refusal in an oath to the LORD, whom he names as God Most High over heaven and earth.
Read carefully
The wording deliberately connects Abram's covenantal confession with the title used in Melchizedek's blessing.
Reflection
Abram's economic decision is framed first as a matter of allegiance and worship rather than financial calculation.
