In Genesis 14:21-23, after Abraham returns, king of Sodom proposes him to take the riches, with him keeping the people. Abraham didn't accept it with a great vow before God and as such, avoiding to give the opportunity to the king of Sodom to think of himself the one who made Abraham reach. What would be there the reason for this behavior?- -----
- To make it a bit clearer, I would add this:
- 1. Abraham took a vow or is taking a vow (but it seems more he already took it).
- 2. Abraham gave a reason in plus to king Bera in verse 23:
- > you shall not say, ‘It is I who made Abram rich.’
- So, what does this second reason imply (2.)? Why was this detail necessary to be mentioned? Which would be the possible explanation(s).
- N.B. I'm not a jew. Hope the question was properly asked.
