SYNOPSIS.

Abram had not been in the land of Canaan long when there came such a famine that he was obliged to go to Egypt and dwell there till the famine was over. While Abram and Lot were in Egypt, the Lord prospered them so that they both became rich; and on their return to Canaan they were obliged to separate, in order to find pasturage for their cattle. Abram generously gave Lot his choice, and he chose the plain of Jordan, and pitched his tent toward the wicked city of Sodom. Abram dwelt in the plain of Mamre, near Hebron. The southern part of the valley of the Jordan is called the Vale of Siddim. In this vale there were cities, called the cities of the plain. The kings of these cities were beaten in battle, and many of the people, with their most valuable goods, were carried away by their enemies. Lot and his family were among the prisoners. Abram, on hearing of this, armed his servants, and being joined by some powerful friends, pursued the army. Having overtaken them in the night, he rescued the prisoners and their property, and returned with them toward Hebron.
On his way back, Abram met a strange person, called Melchisedec, king of Salem. Melchisedec was the priest of the most high God, and he brought forth bread and wine, and blessed Abram, telling him that it was the God of Heaven that had given him victory over his enemies. Then Abram gave Melchisedec a tenth of all the spoil that he had taken.
