updv@Genesis:18:1 @ And Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

updv@Genesis:18:2 @ and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and noticed three men stood across from him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

updv@Genesis:18:3 @ and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, don't pass away, I pray you, from your slave:

updv@Genesis:18:4 @ let now a little water be fetched, and wash your(note:){+}(:note) feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

updv@Genesis:18:5 @ and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen your(note:){+}(:note) heart; after that you{+} will pass on: since you{+} have come to your{+} slave. And they said, Do so, as you have said.

updv@Genesis:18:6 @ And Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, Quickly make ready three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.

updv@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the attendant; and he hurried to dress it.

updv@Genesis: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 ate.

updv@Genesis:18:9 @ And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Look, in the tent.

updv@Genesis:18:10 @ And he said, I will certainly return to you when the season comes around; and, see, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

updv@Genesis:18:11 @ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

updv@Genesis:18:12 @ And Sarah laughed inside herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

updv@Genesis:18:13 @ And Yahweh said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?

updv@Genesis:18:14 @ 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.

updv@Genesis:18:15 @ Then Sarah denied [it], saying, I didn't laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but you did laugh.

updv@Genesis:18:16 @ And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

updv@Genesis:18:17 @ And Yahweh said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;

updv@Genesis:18:18 @ seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

updv@Genesis:18:19 @ For I have known him, to the end that he may command his sons 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.

updv@Genesis:18:20 @ And Yahweh said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

updv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to its [Sodom's] cry, which has come to me; and if not, I will know.

updv@Genesis:18:22 @ And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.

updv@Genesis:18:23 @ And Abraham drew near, and said, Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

updv@Genesis:18:24 @ Perhaps there are fifty righteous inside the city: will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?

updv@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be that from you to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be that from you: will not the Judge of all the earth do right?

updv@Genesis:18:26 @ And Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous inside the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.

updv@Genesis:18:27 @ And Abraham answered and said, Seeing now that I have taken on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:

updv@Genesis:18:28 @ perhaps there will lack five of the fifty righteous: will you destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.

updv@Genesis:18:29 @ And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Perhaps there will be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty's sake.

updv@Genesis:18:30 @ And he said, Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak: perhaps there will be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

updv@Genesis:18:31 @ And he said, Seeing now that I have taken on myself to speak to the Lord: perhaps there will be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake.

updv@Genesis:18:32 @ And he said, Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: perhaps ten will be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.

updv@Genesis:18:33 @ And Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
