The merism mi-chut ve-ad serokh-naal {מִחוּט וְעַד שְׂרֽוֹךְ־נַ֔עַל | mik-ḥûṭ wə-ʿaḏ śərôḵ-naʿal} ‘from a thread to a sandal strap’ emphasizes refusal of even trivial loot.
In context — Genesis 14:23
I will not take anything that is yours—not even a thread or a sandal strap—so that you will not be able to say, “I have made Abram rich .”
