Exegesis
The second coordinated object, veʾet kol okhlam {וְאֶת־כָּל־אָכְלָם | wə-ʾet kāl-ʾā-ḵəl-ām}, parallels the first but focuses on basic sustenance, “all their food,” distinguished from general goods. The repetition of ʾet + kol foregrounds the totality of loss across two semantic domains: wealth and provisions.
Root and etymology
ʾ-k-l
“to eat, consume”
In context — Genesis 14:11
And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food , and they departed.
