Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the [a]people to me and take the possessions for yourself.”
Genesis 14:21 (NASB)
[a] Lit soul
The Hebrew language is a little on the nose . Earlier, the king of Sodom's name is given: Bera, which means "Evil."
Here, the Evil one makes an offer to Abram, who is the rescuer of the people: "if you give me the souls, I'll let you keep the stuff."
Abe declines the offer. He doesn't want the stuff. And God will rescue the souls anyway.
