Genesis 18

1And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him by the oaksH436 of MamreH4471, as he satH3427 in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117; 2and he liftH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, loH2009, threeH7969 menH376 stoodH5324 over againstH5921 him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himselfH7812 to the earthH776, 3and saidH559, My lordH113, ifH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869, passH5674 notH408 awayH5674, I prayH4994 thee, from thy servantH5650: 4letH4994 nowH4994 a littleH4592 waterH4325 be fetched, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and restH8172 yourselves underH8478 the treeH6086: 5and I will fetch a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort ye your heartH3820; afterH310 that ye shall passH5674 on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servantH5650. And they saidH559, SoH3651 doH6213, as thou hast saidH559. 6And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 intoH413 the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, MakeH6213 ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692. 7And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetched a calfH1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto the servantH5288; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1241 whichH834 he had dressed, and setH5414 it beforeH6440 them; and he stoodH5975 by them underH8478 the treeH6086, and they didH6213 eatH398. 9And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, BeholdH2009, in the tentH168. 10And he saidH559, I will certainlyH2009 returnH7725 unto thee when the seasonH6256 cometh round; and, loH2009, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 in the tentH168 doorH6607, whichH1931 was behindH310 him. 11NowH1961 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205, and well stricken in ageH3117; it had ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 afterH1961 the manner of womenH802. 12And SarahH8283 laughedH6711 withinH7130 herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH2204 shall I have pleasure, my lordH113 beingH1961 oldH2204 also? 13And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Wherefore didH4100 SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a surety bearH3205 a childH3205, whichH2088 am oldH2204? 14Is any thingH1697 tooH6381 hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the setH7725 time I will returnH7725 unto thee, when the seasonH6256 cometh round, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121. 15Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 notH3808; for sheH3588 was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, Nay; but thou didst laughH6711. 16And the menH376 roseH6965 upH6965 from thence, and lookedH8259 towardH5921 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 with them to bringH1980 them on the wayH1980. 17And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that whichH834 I doH6213; 18seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surelyH1961 becomeH1961 a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him? 19For I have knownH3045 him, to the endH310 that he may commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 afterH310 him, that they may keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH4941 and judgmentH4941; to the endH310 that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 uponH5921 AbrahamH85 that whichH834 he hath spokenH1696 of him. 20And the LORDH3068 saidH559, BecauseH3588 the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH3966, and becauseH3588 their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievous; 21I will goH935 downH3381 nowH4994, and seeH7200 whetherH518 they have doneH6213 altogether accordingH413 to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto meH413; and ifH518 notH3808, I will knowH3045. 22And the menH376 turnedH6437 from thence, and wentH376 towardH6440 SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yet beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 23And AbrahamH85 drewH5066 nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou consume the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563? 24Peradventure there be fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH7130 the cityH5892: wilt thou consume and notH3808 spareH5375 the placeH4725 for the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are therein? 25That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 afterH1961 this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563, that soH6213 the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563; that be farH2486 from thee: shall notH3808 the JudgeH8199 of allH3605 the earthH776 doH6213 rightH4941? 26And the LORDH3068 saidH559, IfH518 I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 allH3605 the placeH4725 for their sakeH5668. 27And AbrahamH85 answeredH559 and saidH559, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I have taken uponH413 meH413 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, which am but dustH6083 and ashesH665: 28peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 allH3605 the cityH5892 for lackH2637 of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, I will notH3808 destroyH7843 it, ifH518 I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568. 29And he spake unto him yet againH5750, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will notH3808 doH6213 it for the forty’s sakeH5668. 30And he saidH559, OhH4994 letH4994 notH3808 the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will notH3808 doH6213 it, ifH518 I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there. 31And he saidH559, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I have takenH4672 uponH413 meH413 to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will notH3808 destroyH7843 it for the twenty’s sakeH5668. 32And he saidH559, OhH4994 letH4994 notH3808 the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yet but this onceH6471: peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will notH3808 destroyH7843 it for the ten’s sakeH5668. 33And the LORDH3068 wentH7725 his way, as soon as he had leftH7725 communing with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his placeH4725.
