Exegesis
The following particle rak {רַק | raq} ‘only’ narrows the exception and governs the two elements that are allowed: first, the relative clause asher akhelu ha-ne'arim {אֲשֶׁר אָכְלוּ הַנְּעָרִים | ʾă-šer ʾā-ḵəlû han-ne-ʿā-rîm} “what the young men have eaten,” where the perfect verb ʾāḵəlû presents the consumption as a completed past action that cannot be returned.
Root and etymology
n-ʿ-r
“to be young, shake off”
In context — Genesis 14:24
As for me, only what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me—Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre—let them take their portion.
