[1] Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day. [2] He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth, [3] and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant. [4] Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. [5] I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.”They said, “Very well, do as you have said.” [6] Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three seahsⓘ of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.” [7] Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it. [8] He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate. [9] They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?”He said, “There, in the tent.” [10] He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.”Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. [11] Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. [12] Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” [13] Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’ [14] Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.” [15] Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid.He said, “No, but you did laugh.” [16] The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way. [17] Yahweh said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do, [18] since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him? [19] For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.” [20] Yahweh said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, [21] I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.” [22] The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh. [23] Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? [24] What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it? [25] May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?” [26] Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.” [27] Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes. [28] What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?”He said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” [29] He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?”He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.” [30] He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?”He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” [31] He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?”He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.” [32] He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?”He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.” [33] Yahweh went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

[1] And the LordH3068 appearedH7200(NiphImpf) unto him in the plainsH436 of Mamre:H4471 and he satH3427(QalActPtc) in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the day;H3117 [2] And he lift upH5375(QalImpf) his eyesH5869 and looked,H7200(QalImpf) and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324(NiphPtc) by him: and when he sawH7200(QalImpf) [them], he ranH7323(QalImpf) to meetH7125(QalInf) them from the tentH168 door,H6607 and bowedH7812(HithImpf) himself toward the ground,H776 [3] And said,H559(QalImpf) My Lord,H136 if now I have foundH4672(QalPerf) favourH2580 in thy sight,H5869 pass not away,H5674(QalImpf) I pray thee, from thy servant:H5650 [4] Let a littleH4592 water,H4325 I pray you,H4994 be fetched,H3947(HophImpf) and washH7364(QalImpv) your feet,H7272 and rest yourselvesH8172(NiphImpv) under the tree:H6086 [5] And I will fetchH3947(QalImpf) a morselH6595 of bread,H3899 and comfort yeH5582(QalImpv) your hearts;H3820 after thatH310 ye shall pass on:H5674(QalImpf) for therefore are ye comeH5674(QalPerf) toH5921 your servant.H5650 And they said,H1696(PielPerf) So do,H6213(QalImpf) as thou hast said.H559(QalImpf) [6] And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116(PielImpf) into the tentH168 unto Sarah,H8283 and said,H559(QalImpf) Make ready quicklyH4116(PielImpv) threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 meal,H7058 kneadH3888(QalImpv) [it], and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearth.H6213(QalImpv) [7] And AbrahamH85 ranH7323(QalPerf) unto the herd,H1241 and fetchtH3947(QalImpf) a calfH1121 tenderH7390 and good,H2896 and gaveH5414(QalImpf) [it] unto a young man;H5288 and he hastedH4116(PielImpf) to dressH6213(QalInf) it. [8] And he tookH3947(QalImpf) butter,H2529 and milk,H2461 and the calfH1121 which he had dressed,H6213(QalPerf) and setH5414(QalImpf) [it] before them;H6440 and he stoodH5975(QalActPtc) by them under the tree,H6086 and they did eat.H398(QalImpf) [9] And they saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, WhereH346 [is] SarahH8283 thy wife?H802 And he said,H559(QalImpf) Behold, in the tent.H168 [10] And he said,H559(QalImpf) I will certainlyH7725(QalInf) returnH7725(QalImpf) unto thee according to the timeH6256 of life;H2416 and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a son.H1121 And SarahH8283 heardH8085(QalActPtc) [it] in the tentH168 door,H6607 which [was] behind him.H310 [11] Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 [were] oldH2205 [and] well strickenH935(QalActPtc) in age;H3117 [and] it ceasedH2308(QalPerf) to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of women.H802 [12] Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711(QalImpf) within herself,H7130 saying,H559(QalInf) AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086(QalInf) shall I have pleasure,H5730 my lordH113 being old also?H2204(QalPerf) [13] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Abraham,H85 WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laugh,H6711(QalPerf) saying,H559(QalInf) Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205(QalImpf) a child, whichH589 am old?H2204(QalPerf) [14] IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381(NiphImpf) for the Lord?H3068 At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725(QalImpf) unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of life,H2416 and SarahH8283 shall have a son.H1121 [15] Then SarahH8283 denied,H3584(PielImpf) saying,H559(QalInf) I laughedH6711(QalPerf) not; for she was afraid.H3372(QalPerf) And he said,H559(QalImpf) Nay;H3808 but thou didst laugh.H6711(QalPerf) [16] And the menH582 rose upH6965(QalImpf) from thence, and lookedH8259(HiphImpf) towardH6440 Sodom:H5467 and AbrahamH85 wentH1980(QalActPtc) with them to bring them on the way.H7971(PielInf) [17] And the LordH3068 said,H559(QalPerf) Shall I hideH3680(PielPtc) from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I do;H6213(QalActPtc) [18] Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nation,H1471 and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288(NiphPerf) in him? [19] For I knowH3045(QalPerf) him, thatH834 he will commandH6680(PielImpf) his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after him,H310 and they shall keepH8104(QalPerf) the wayH1870 of the Lord,H3068 to doH6213(QalInf) justiceH6666 and judgment;H4941 that the LordH3068 may bringH935(HiphInf) upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696(PielPerf) of him. [20] And the LordH3068 said,H559(QalImpf) Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is great,H7227 and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievous;H3513(QalPerf) [21] I will go downH3381(QalImpf) now, and seeH7200(QalImpf) whether they have doneH6213(QalPerf) altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935(QalActPtc) unto me; and if not, I will know.H3045(QalImpf) [22] And the menH582 turned their facesH6437(QalImpf) from thence, and wentH3212(QalImpf) toward Sodom:H5467 but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975(QalActPtc) yetH5750 beforeH6440 the Lord.H3068 [23] And AbrahamH85 drew near,H5066(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) Wilt thou also destroyH5595(QalImpf) the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wicked?H7563 [24] Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the city:H5892 wilt thou also destroyH5595(QalImpf) and not spareH5375(QalImpf) the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that [are] therein?H7130 [25] That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213(QalInf) after this manner,H1697 to slayH4191(HiphInf) the righteousH6662 with the wicked:H7563 and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wicked,H7563 that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199(QalActPtc) of all the earthH776 doH6213(QalImpf) right?H4941 [26] And the LordH3068 said,H559(QalImpf) If I findH4672(QalImpf) in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the city,H5892 then I will spareH5375(QalPerf) all the placeH4725 for their sakes. [27] And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974(HiphPerf) to speakH1696(PielInf) unto the Lord,H136 whichH595 [am but] dustH6083 and ashes:H665 [28] Peradventure there shall lackH2637(QalImpf) fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteous:H6662 wilt thou destroyH7843(HiphImpf) all the cityH5892 for [lack of] five?H2568 And he said,H559(QalImpf) If I findH4672(QalImpf) there fortyH705 and five,H2568 I will not destroyH7843(HiphImpf) [it]. [29] And he spakeH1696(PielInf) unto him yet again,H3254(HiphImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672(NiphImpf) there. And he said,H559(QalImpf) I will not doH6213(QalImpf) [it] for forty’sH705 sake. [30] And he saidH559(QalImpf) [unto him], OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angry,H2734(QalImpf) and I will speak:H1696(PielImpf) Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672(NiphImpf) there. And he said,H559(QalImpf) I will not doH6213(QalImpf) [it], if I findH4672(QalImpf) thirtyH7970 there. [31] And he said,H559(QalImpf) Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974(HiphPerf) to speakH1696(PielInf) unto the Lord:H136 Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672(NiphImpf) there. And he said,H559(QalImpf) I will not destroyH7843(HiphImpf) [it] for twenty’sH6242 sake. [32] And he said,H559(QalImpf) Oh let not the LordH136 be angry,H2734(QalImpf) and I will speakH1696(PielImpf) yetH389 but this once:H6471 Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672(NiphImpf) there. And he said,H559(QalImpf) I will not destroyH7843(HiphImpf) [it] for ten’sH6235 sake. [33] And the LordH3068 went his way,H3212(QalImpf) as soon asH834 he had leftH3615(PielPerf) communingH1696(PielInf) with Abraham:H85 and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725(QalPerf) unto his place.H4725
