Exegesis
The emphatic pronoun a-ni {אֲנִי | ʾănî} precedes the Hifil perfect heesharti {הֶעֱשַׁרְתִּי | heʿešartî} ‘I have enriched,’ underlining the claim the king of Sodom must never assert. The Hebrew perfect and the waw-consecutive are rendered in English to preserve aspectual and logical relations.
Root and etymology
“to become rich”
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 .”
