1 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to him in the plains436 of Mamre:4471 and he sat3427 in the tent168 door6607 in the heat2527 of the day;3117

2 And he lift5375 up his eyes5869 and looked,7200 and, see,2009 three7969 men582 stood5324 by him: and when he saw7200 them, he ran7323 to meet7125 them from the tent168 door,6607 and bowed7812 himself toward the ground,776

3 And said,559 My LORD,136 if518 now4994 I have found4672 favor2580 in your sight,5869 pass5674 not away, I pray4994 you, from your servant:5650

4 Let a little4592 water,4325 I pray4994 you, be fetched,3947 and wash7364 your feet,7272 and rest8172 yourselves under8478 the tree:6086

5 And I will fetch3947 a morsel6595 of bread,3899 and comfort5582 you your hearts;3820 after310 that you shall pass5674 on: for therefore5921 3651 are you come5674 to your servant.5650 And they said,1696 So3651 do,6213 as you have said.1696

6 And Abraham85 hastened4116 into the tent168 to Sarah,8283 and said,559 Make ready4116 quickly4116 three7969 measures5429 of fine5560 meal,7058 5560 knead3888 it, and make6213 cakes5692 on the hearth.3820

7 And Abraham85 ran7323 to the herd,1241 and fetched3947 a calf1121 1241 tender7390 and good,2896 and gave5414 it to a young5288 man; and he hurried4116 to dress6213 it.

8 And he took3947 butter,2529 and milk,2461 and the calf1121 1241 which834 he had dressed,6213 and set5414 it before6440 them; and he stood5975 by them under8478 the tree,6086 and they did eat.398

9 And they said559 to him, Where346 is Sarah8283 your wife?802 And he said,559 Behold,2009 in the tent.168

10 And he said,559 I will certainly7725 return7725 to you according to the time6256 of life;2416 and, see,2009 Sarah8283 your wife802 shall have a son.1121 And Sarah8283 heard8085 it in the tent168 door,6607 which1931 was behind310 him.

11 Now Abraham85 and Sarah8283 were old2205 and well stricken935 in age;3117 and it ceased2308 to be with Sarah8283 after the manner734 of women.802

12 Therefore Sarah8283 laughed6711 within7130 herself, saying,559 After310 I am waxed old1086 shall I have1961 pleasure,5730 my lord113 being old2204 also?

13 And the LORD3068 said559 to Abraham,85 Why4100 did Sarah8283 laugh,6711 saying,559 Shall I of a surety552 bear3205 a child, which589 am old?2204

14 Is any thing1697 too hard6381 for the LORD?3068 At the time appointed4150 I will return7725 to you, according to the time6256 of life,2416 and Sarah8283 shall have a son.1121

15 Then Sarah8283 denied,3584 saying,559 I laughed6711 not; for she was afraid.3372 And he said,559 No;3808 but you did laugh.6711

16 And the men582 rose6965 up from there,8033 and looked8259 toward5921 6440 Sodom:5467 and Abraham85 went1980 with them to bring7971 them on the way.7971

17 And the LORD3068 said,559 Shall I hide3680 from Abraham85 that thing which834 I do;6213

18 Seeing that Abraham85 shall surely become1961 a great1419 and mighty6099 nation,1471 and all3605 the nations1471 of the earth776 shall be blessed1288 in him?

19 For I know3045 him, that he will command6680 his children1121 and his household1004 after310 him, and they shall keep8104 the way1870 of the LORD,3068 to do6213 justice6666 and judgment;4941 that the LORD3068 may bring935 on Abraham85 that which834 he has spoken1696 of him.

20 And the LORD3068 said,559 Because3588 the cry2201 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 is great,7227 and because3588 their sin2403 is very3966 grievous;3513

21 I will go3381 down3381 now,4994 and see7200 whether they have done6213 altogether3617 according to the cry6818 of it, which is come935 to me; and if518 not, I will know.3045

22 And the men582 turned6437 their faces from there,8033 and went3212 toward Sodom:5467 but Abraham85 stood5975 yet5750 before6440 the LORD.3068

23 And Abraham85 drew near,5066 and said,559 Will you also637 destroy5595 the righteous6662 with the wicked?7563

24 Peradventure194 there be fifty2572 righteous6662 within8432 the city:5892 will you also637 destroy5595 and not spare5375 the place4725 for the fifty2572 righteous6662 that are therein?7130

25 That be far2486 from you to do6213 after3651 this2088 manner,1697 to slay4191 the righteous6662 with the wicked:7563 and that the righteous6662 should be as the wicked,7563 that be far2486 from you: Shall not the Judge8199 of all3605 the earth776 do6213 right?4941

26 And the LORD3068 said,559 If518 I find4672 in Sodom5467 fifty2572 righteous6662 within8432 the city,5892 then I will spare5375 all3605 the place4725 for their sakes.5668

27 And Abraham85 answered6030 and said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I have taken2974 on me to speak1696 to the LORD,136 which595 am but dust6083 and ashes:665

28 Peradventure194 there shall lack2637 five2568 of the fifty2572 righteous:6662 will you destroy7843 all3605 the city5892 for lack of five?2568 And he said,559 If518 I find4672 there8033 forty705 and five,2568 I will not destroy7843 it.

29 And he spoke1696 to him yet5750 again,3254 and said,559 Peradventure194 there shall be forty705 found4672 there. And he said,559 I will not do6213 it for forty's705 sake.5668

30 And he said559 to him, Oh4994 let not the LORD136 be angry,2734 and I will speak:1696 Peradventure194 there8033 shall thirty7970 be found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not do6213 it, if518 I find4672 thirty7970 there.8033

31 And he said,559 Behold2009 now,4994 I have taken2974 on me to speak1696 to the LORD:136 Peradventure194 there8033 shall be twenty6242 found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not destroy7843 it for twenty's6242 sake.5668

32 And he said,559 Oh4994 let not the LORD136 be angry,2734 and I will speak1696 yet389 but this6471 once:6471 Peradventure194 ten6235 shall be found4672 there.8033 And he said,559 I will not destroy7843 it for ten's6235 sake.5668

33 And the LORD3068 went3212 his way,3212 as soon834 as he had left3615 communing1696 with Abraham:85 and Abraham85 returned7725 to his place.4725
