1
Now the LORD
appeared
to him by the oaks
of Mamre,
while he was sitting
at the tent
door
in the heat
of the day.
2
When he lifted
up his eyes
and looked,
behold,
three
men
were standing
opposite
him; and when he saw
them, he ran
from the tent
door
to meet
them and bowed
himself to the earth,
3
and said,
"My lord,
if
now
I have found
favor
in your sight,
please
do not pass
your servant
by.
4
"Please
let a little
water
be brought
and wash
your feet,
and rest yourselves
under
the tree;
5
and I will bring
a piece
of bread,
that you may refresh
yourselves;
after
that you may go
on, since
you have visited
your servant."
And they said,
"So
do,
as you have said."
6
So Abraham
hurried
into the tent
to Sarah,
and said,
"Quickly, prepare
three
measures
of fine
flour,
knead
it and make
bread cakes."
7
Abraham
also ran
to the herd,
and took
a tender
and choice
calf
and gave
it to the servant,
and he hurried
to prepare
it.
8
He took
curds
and milk
and the calf
which
he had prepared,
and placed
it before
them; and he was standing
by them under
the tree
as they ate.
9
Then they said
to him, "Where
is Sarah
your wife?"
And he said,
"There,
in the tent."
10
He said,
"I will surely
return
to you at this time
next year;
and behold,
Sarah
your wife
will have a son."
And
Sarah
was listening
at the tent
door,
which
was behind
him.
11
Now Abraham
and
Sarah
were old,
advanced
in age;
Sarah
was past
childbearing.
12
Sarah
laughed
to herself,
saying,
"After
I have become old,
shall I have
pleasure,
my lord
being old
also?"
13
And the LORD
said
to Abraham,
"Why
did Sarah
laugh,
saying,
'Shall I indeed
bear
a child, when I am so old?'
14
"Is anything
too
difficult
for the LORD?
At the appointed
time
I will return
to you, at this
time
next year,
and Sarah
will have a son."
15
Sarah
denied
it however, saying,
"I did not laugh";
for she was afraid.
And He said,
"No,
but you did laugh."
16
Then the men
rose
up from there,
and looked down
toward
Sodom;
and Abraham
was walking
with them to send
them off.
17
The LORD
said,
"Shall I hide
from Abraham
what
I am about to do,
18
since Abraham
will surely
become
a great
and mighty
nation,
and in him all
the nations
of the earth
will be blessed?
19
"For I have chosen
him,
so
that he may command
his children
and his household
after
him to keep
the way
of the LORD
by doing
righteousness
and justice,
so
that the LORD
may bring
upon Abraham
what
He has spoken
about
him."
20
And the LORD
said,
"The outcry
of Sodom
and Gomorrah
is indeed
great,
and their sin
is exceedingly
grave.
21
"I will go down
now,
and see
if they have done
entirely
according to its outcry,
which has come
to Me; and if
not, I will know."
22
Then the men
turned away
from there
and went
toward Sodom,
while Abraham
was still
standing
before
the LORD.
23
Abraham
came near
and said,
"Will You indeed
sweep away
the righteous
with the wicked?
24
"Suppose
there
are fifty
righteous
within
the city;
will You indeed
sweep it away
and not spare
the place
for the sake
of the fifty
righteous
who
are in it?
25
"Far
be it from You to do
such
a thing,
to slay
the righteous
with the wicked,
so that
the righteous
and the wicked
are treated alike. Far
be it from You! Shall not the Judge
of all
the earth
deal
justly?"
26
So the LORD
said,
"If
I find
in Sodom
fifty
righteous
within
the city,
then I will spare
the whole
place
on their account."
27
And Abraham
replied,
"Now
behold,
I have ventured
to speak
to the Lord,
although I am but dust
and ashes.
28
"Suppose
the fifty
righteous
are lacking
five,
will You destroy
the whole
city
because of five?"
And He said,
"I will not destroy
it if
I find
forty-five
there."
29
He spoke
to Him yet
again
and said,
"Suppose
forty
are found
there?"
And He said,
"I will not do
it on account
of the
forty
."
30
Then he said,
"Oh may
the Lord
not be angry,
and I shall speak;
suppose
thirty
are found
there?"
And He said,
"I will not do
it if
I find
thirty
there."
31
And he said,
"Now
behold,
I have ventured
to speak
to the Lord;
suppose
twenty
are found
there?"
And He said,
"I will not destroy
it on account
of the
twenty
."
32
Then he said,
"Oh may
the Lord
not be angry,
and I shall speak
only
this once;
suppose
ten
are found
there?"
And He said,
"I will not destroy
it on account
of the
ten
."
33
As soon
as He had finished
speaking
to Abraham
the LORD
departed,
and Abraham
returned
to his place.
