Sastra Bait Kedua Kejadian 14:21: Allegorical Interpretation

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מֶֽלֶךְ־סְדֹ֖ם אֶל־אַבְרָ֑ם תֶּן־לִ֣י הַנֶּ֔פֶשׁ וְהָרְכֻ֖שׁ קַֽח־לָֽךְ׃

Lalu berkatalah raja Sodom kepada Abram: “Berikanlah kepadaku orang-orang itu, dan ambillah harta benda itu bagimu.”

Allegorical Interpretation of Genesis

[197] Because this is so, Abraham also in harmony with the will of God retains the property which had come to him from God, but gets rid of the horses of the king of Sodom (Gen. 14:21 ff.), as also of the possessions of the concubines. Moses, moreover, thinks fit to judge the weightiest cases and issues, but the investigation of the insignificant questions he commits to inferior officers (cf. Exod. 18:26).
