Genesis 14:20

Context

14:20 Worthy of praise is 1  the Most High God,

who delivered 2  your enemies into your hand.”

Abram gave Melchizedek 3  a tenth of everything.

1 tn Heb “blessed be.” For God to be “blessed” means that is praised. His reputation is enriched in the world as his name is praised.

2 sn Who delivered. The Hebrew verb מִגֵּן (miggen, “delivered”) foreshadows the statement by God to Abram in Gen 15:1, “I am your shield” (מָגֵן, magen). Melchizedek provided a theological interpretation of Abram’s military victory.

3 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Melchizedek) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
