That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

World English Bible

that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:

Webster's Bible Translation

That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:23

que desde un hilo hasta la correa de un zapato, nada tomaré de todo lo que es tuyo, para que no digas: Yo enriquecí a Abram.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 14:23

Verse 23. From a thread even to a shoelatchet] This was certainly a proverbial mode of expression, the full meaning of which is perhaps not known. Among the rabbinical writers fwj chut, or yfwj chuti, signifies a fillet worn by young women to tie up their hair; taken in this sense it will give a good meaning here. As
Abram had rescued both the men and women carried off by the confederate kings, and the king of Sodom had offered him all the goods, claiming only the persons, he answers by protesting against the accepting any of their property: ""I have vowed unto the Lord, the proprietor of heaven and earth, that I will not receive the smallest portion of the property either of the women or men, from a girl's fillet to a man's shoe-tie.""

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 21-24 - Observe the king of
Sodom's grateful offer to Abram, Give me the souls and take thou the substance. Gratitude teaches us to recompense to the utmost of our power, those that have undergone fatigues, run hazards and been at expense for our service and benefit. Abram generousl refused this offer. He accompanies his refusal with a good reason, Les thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: which would reflect upo the promise promise and covenant of God, as if He would not have enriched Abraham without the spoils of Sodom. The people of God must for their credit's sake, take heed of doing any thing that looks mea or mercenary, or that savors of covetousness and self-seeking. Abraha can trust the Possessor of Heaven and earth to provide for him __________________________________________________________________
