Sastra Bait Kedua Kejadian 14:24: On the Migration

בִּלְעָדַ֗י רַ֚ק אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָֽכְל֣וּ הַנְּעָרִ֔ים וְחֵ֙לֶק֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָלְכ֖וּ אִתִּ֑י עָנֵר֙ אֶשְׁכֹּ֣ל וּמַמְרֵ֔א הֵ֖ם יִקְח֥וּ חֶלְקָֽם׃ (ס)

kecuali hanya apa yang telah dimakan oleh orang-orang muda itu, serta bagian orang-orang yang pergi bersamaku, yaitu Aner, Eskol, dan Mamre; biarlah mereka mengambil bagian mereka.”

On the Migration of Abraham

[164] The lover of sound sense will, therefore, as I said, set a barrier between him and the man who, like a drone, has set himself to make havoc of the useful labours of the bees, and who follows for the sake of doing this, while those who in their enthusiasm for all that is morally excellent accompany them on their journey from a wish to copy them, he will welcome and allot to them such portions as are suitable: for Abraham says “of the men that journeyed with me Eshcol and Aunan, these shall receive Mamre as their portion” (Gen. 14:24); meaning characters well endowed by nature and lovers of the higher vision.
