18:1
And
the LORD
appeared unto him in the
plains
of
Mamre
: and he sat in the
tent
door in
the heat of the day
;
18:2
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and,
lo
, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent
door
, and bowed himself toward the ground,
18:3
And said, My LORD, if now I have found
favour
in thy sight, pass not away, I
pray thee
, from thy
servant
:
18:4
Let a little
water
, I pray you, be fetched, and
wash your feet
, and rest yourselves
under the tree
:
18:5
And I will fetch a
morsel
of
bread
, and comfort ye your
heart
s; after that ye shall
pass on
: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said,
So do
, as thou hast said.
18:6
And
Abraham
hastened into the tent unto
Sarah
, and said, Make ready quickly
three measures
of fine
meal
,
knead
it, and make
cakes
upon the
hearth
.
18:7
And Abraham ran unto the
herd
, and fetcht a
calf
tender and good
, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to
dress
it.
18:8
And he took
butter
, and
milk
, and
the calf which he had dressed
, and set it before them; and he stood by them under
the tree
, and they did eat.
18:9
And they said unto him,
Where is Sarah
thy wife? And he said,
Behold
, in
the tent
.
18:10
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to
the time of life
; and, lo, Sarah thy
wife
shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the
tent door
, which was behind him.
18:11
Now
Abraham and Sarah
were old and
well stricken in age
; and it ceased to be with Sarah after
the manner of women
.
18:12
Therefore Sarah
laugh
ed within herself, saying,
After I am waxed
old
shall I have
pleasure
, my
lord
being old also?
18:13
And
the LORD
said unto Abraham,
Wherefore did Sarah laugh
, saying, Shall I of a
surety
bear a child
, which am old?
18:14
Is any thing too hard for the LORD?
At
the time appointed
I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
18:15
Then Sarah
denied
, saying,
I laughed not
; for she was
afraid
. And he said,
Nay; but thou didst laugh
.
18:16
And
the men
rose up from thence, and looked toward
Sodom
: and Abraham went with them to bring them on
the way
.
18:17
And the LORD said,
Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do
;
18:18
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become
a great and mighty nation
, and all the
nation
s of
the earth
shall be
blessed
in him?
18:19
For I know him, that he will
command
his
children
and his
household
after him, and they shall keep
the way of the LORD
, to do
justice
and
judgment
; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
18:20
And the LORD said, Because
the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great
, and because their
sin
is very
grievous
;
18:21
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the
cry
of it, which is
come unto me
; and if not,
I will know
.
18:22
And the men turned their
face
s from thence, and went toward
Sodom
: but Abraham stood yet
before the LORD
.
18:23
And Abraham drew near, and said,
Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
18:24
Peradventure
there be fifty
righteous
within the
city
: wilt thou also
destroy
and not
spare
the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
18:25
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to
slay the righteous with the wicked
: and that
the righteous
should be as
the wicked
, that be far from thee: Shall not
the Judge of all the earth
do right?
18:26
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their
sake
s.
18:27
And Abraham answered and said,
Behold
now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but
dust
and
ashes
:
18:28
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
18:29
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
18:30
And he said unto him, Oh
let not the LORD be angry
, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
18:31
And he said, Behold now,
I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD
: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
18:32
And he said, Oh let not the LORD be
angry
, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
18:33
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left
communing with Abraham
: and Abraham returned unto his place.
