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
hearts; 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 fetched 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 laughed 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 nations 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 faces 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
sakes.
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.
