1 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 unto him in the plains 436 of Mamre 4471: and he sat 3427 in the tent 168 door 6607 in the heat 2527 of the day 3117;
2 And he lift up 5375 his eyes 5869 and looked 7200, and, lo, three 7969 men 582 stood 5324 by him: and when he saw 7200 them, he ran 7323 to meet 7125 them from the tent 168 door 6607, and bowed 7812 himself toward the ground 776,
3 And said 559, My Lord 136, if now I have found 4672 favour 2580 in thy sight 5869, pass not away 5674, I pray thee, from thy servant 5650:
4 Let a little 4592 water 4325, I pray you 4994, be fetched 3947, and wash 7364 your feet 7272, and rest yourselves 8172 under the tree 6086:
5 And I will fetch 3947 a morsel 6595 of bread 3899, and comfort ye 5582 your hearts 3820; after that 310 ye shall pass on 5674: for therefore are ye come 5674 to 5921 your servant 5650. And they said 1696, So do 6213, as thou hast said 559.
6 And Abraham 85 hastened 4116 into the tent 168 unto Sarah 8283, and said 559, Make ready quickly 4116 three 7969 measures 5429 of fine 5560 meal 7058, knead 3888 it, and make 6213 0 cakes 5692 upon the hearth 6213.
7 And Abraham 85 ran 7323 unto the herd 1241, and fetcht 3947 a calf 1121 1241 tender 7390 and good 2896, and gave 5414 it unto a young man 5288; and he hasted 4116 to dress 6213 it.
8 And he took 3947 butter 2529, and milk 2461, and the calf 1121 1241 which he had dressed 6213, and set 5414 it before them 6440; and he stood 5975 by them under the tree 6086, and they did eat 398.
9 And they said 559 unto him, Where 346 is Sarah 8283 thy wife 802? And he said 559, Behold, in the tent 168.
10 And he said 559, I will certainly 7725 return 7725 unto thee according to the time 6256 of life 2416; and, lo, Sarah 8283 thy wife 802 shall have a son 1121. And Sarah 8283 heard 8085 it in the tent 168 door 6607, which was behind him 310.
11 Now Abraham 85 and Sarah 8283 were old 2205 and well stricken 935 in age 3117; and it ceased 2308 to be with Sarah 8283 after the manner 734 of women 802.
12 Therefore Sarah 8283 laughed 6711 within herself 7130, saying 559, After 310 I am waxed old 1086 shall I have pleasure 5730, my lord 113 being old also 2204?
13 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Abraham 85, Wherefore 4100 did Sarah 8283 laugh 6711, saying 559, Shall I of a surety 552 bear 3205 a child, which 589 am old 2204?
14 Is 6381 0 any thing 1697 too hard 6381 for the LORD 3068? At the time appointed 4150 I will return 7725 unto thee, according to the time 6256 of life 2416, and Sarah 8283 shall have a son 1121.
15 Then Sarah 8283 denied 3584, saying 559, I laughed 6711 not; for she was afraid 3372. And he said 559, Nay 3808; but thou didst laugh 6711.
16 And the men 582 rose up 6965 from thence, and looked 8259 toward 6440 Sodom 5467: and Abraham 85 went 1980 with them to bring them on the way 7971.
17 And the LORD 3068 said 559, Shall I hide 3680 from Abraham 85 that thing which 834 I do 6213;
18 Seeing that Abraham 85 shall surely become a great 1419 and mighty 6099 nation 1471, and all the nations 1471 of the earth 776 shall be blessed 1288 in him?
19 For I know 3045 him, that 834 he will command 6680 his children 1121 and his household 1004 after him 310, and they shall keep 8104 the way 1870 of the LORD 3068, to do 6213 justice 6666 and judgment 4941; that the LORD 3068 may bring 935 upon Abraham 85 that which he hath spoken 1696 of him.
20 And the LORD 3068 said 559, Because the cry 2201 of Sodom 5467 and Gomorrah 6017 is great 7227, and because their sin 2403 is very 3966 grievous 3513;
21 I will go down 3381 now, and see 7200 whether they have done 6213 altogether 3617 according to the cry 6818 of it, which is come 935 unto me; and if not, I will know 3045.
22 And the men 582 turned their faces 6437 from thence, and went 3212 toward Sodom 5467: but Abraham 85 stood 5975 yet 5750 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
23 And Abraham 85 drew near 5066, and said 559, Wilt thou also destroy 5595 the righteous 6662 with 5973 the wicked 7563?
24 Peradventure there be 3426 fifty 2572 righteous 6662 within 8432 the city 5892: wilt thou also destroy 5595 and not spare 5375 the place 4725 for 4616 the fifty 2572 righteous 6662 that are therein 7130?
25 That be far 2486 from thee to do 6213 after this manner 1697, to slay 4191 the righteous 6662 with the wicked 7563: and that the righteous 6662 should be as the wicked 7563, that be far 2486 from thee: Shall not the Judge 8199 of all the earth 776 do 6213 right 4941?
26 And the LORD 3068 said 559, If I find 4672 in Sodom 5467 fifty 2572 righteous 6662 within 8432 the city 5892, then I will spare 5375 all the place 4725 for their sakes.
27 And Abraham 85 answered 6030 and said 559, Behold now, I have taken upon me 2974 to speak 1696 unto the Lord 136, which 595 am but dust 6083 and ashes 665:
28 Peradventure there shall lack 2637 five 2568 of the fifty 2572 righteous 6662: wilt thou destroy 7843 all the city 5892 for lack of five 2568? And he said 559, If I find 4672 there forty 705 and five 2568, I will not destroy 7843 it.
29 And he spake 1696 unto him yet again 3254, and said 559, Peradventure there shall be forty 705 found 4672 there. And he said 559, I will not do 6213 it for forty's 705 sake.
30 And he said 559 unto him, Oh 4994 let not the Lord 136 be angry 2734, and I will speak 1696: Peradventure there shall thirty 7970 be found 4672 there. And he said 559, I will not do 6213 it, if I find 4672 thirty 7970 there.
31 And he said 559, Behold now, I have taken upon me 2974 to speak 1696 unto the Lord 136: Peradventure there shall be twenty 6242 found 4672 there. And he said 559, I will not destroy 7843 it for twenty's 6242 sake.
32 And he said 559, Oh let not the Lord 136 be angry 2734, and I will speak 1696 yet 389 but this once 6471: Peradventure ten 6235 shall be found 4672 there. And he said 559, I will not destroy 7843 it for ten's 6235 sake.
33 And the LORD 3068 went his way 3212, as soon as 834 he had left 3615 communing 1696 with Abraham 85: and Abraham 85 returned 7725 unto his place 4725.
