1	The Promises Abraham a Son One hot summer afternoon while Abraham was sitting by the entrance to his tent near the sacred trees of Mamre, the Lord appeared to him.	And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2	Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. He quickly ran to meet them, bowed with his face to the ground,	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,
3	and said, “Please come to my home where I can serve you.	And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
4	I'll have some water brought, so you can wash your feet, then you can rest under a tree.	Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5	Let me get you some food to give you strength before you leave. I would be honored to serve you.” “Thank you very much,” they answered. “We accept your offer.”	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.
6	Abraham went quickly to his tent and said to Sarah, “Hurry! Get a large sack of flour and make some bread.”	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.
7	After saying this, he rushed off to his herd of cattle and picked out one of the best calves, which his servant quickly prepared.	And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
8	He then served his guests some yogurt and milk together with the meat. While they were eating, he stood near them under the tree,	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.
9	and they asked, “Where's your wife Sarah?” “She is right there in the tent,” Abraham answered.	And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10	One of the guests was the Lord, and he said, “I'll come back about this time next year, and when I do, Sarah will already have a son.” Sarah was behind Abraham, listening at the entrance to the tent.	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.
11	Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was well past the age for having children.	Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12	So she laughed and said to herself, “Now that I am worn out and my husband is old, will I really know such happiness?”	Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13	The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Does she doubt that she can have a child in her old age?	And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14	I am the Lord! There is nothing too difficult for me. I'll come back next year at the time I promised, and Sarah will already have a son.”	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.
15	Sarah was so frightened that she lied and said, “I didn't laugh.” “Yes, you did!” he answered.	Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16	Abraham Prays for Sodom When the three men got ready to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked part of the way with them.	And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17	The Lord said to himself, “I should tell Abraham what I am going to do,	And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18	since his family will become a great and powerful nation that will be a blessing to all the other nations on earth.	Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19	I have chosen him to teach his family to obey me forever and to do what is right and fair. If they do, I will give Abraham many descendants, just as I promised.”	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.
20	The Lord said, “Abraham, I have heard that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are doing all kinds of evil things.	And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21	Now I am going down to see for myself if those people really are that bad. If they aren't, I would like to know.”	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.
22	The men turned and started toward Sodom. But the Lord stayed with Abraham.	And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.
23	And Abraham asked him, “Lord, when you destroy the evil people, are you also going to destroy those who are good?	And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24	Wouldn't you spare the city if there are only 50 good people in it?	Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25	You surely wouldn't let them be killed when you destroy the evil ones. You are the judge of all the earth, and you do what is right.”	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?
26	The Lord replied, “If I find 50 good people in Sodom, I will save the city to keep them from being killed.”	And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27	Abraham answered, “I am nothing more than the dust of the earth. Please forgive me, Lord, for daring to speak to you like this.	And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28	But suppose there are only 45 good people in Sodom. Would you still wipe out the whole city?” “If I find 45 good people,” the Lord replied, “I won't destroy the city.”	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.
29	“Suppose there are just 40 good people?” Abraham asked. “Even for them,” the Lord replied, “I won't destroy the city.”	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.
30	Abraham said, “Please don't be angry, Lord, if I ask you what you will do if there are only 30 good people in the city.” “If I find 30,” the Lord replied, “I still won't destroy it.”	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.
31	Then Abraham said, “I don't have any right to ask you, Lord, but what would you do if you find only 20?” “Because of them, I won't destroy the city,” was the Lord's answer.	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.
32	Finally, Abraham said, “Please don't get angry, Lord, if I speak just once more. Suppose you find only 10 good people there.” “For the sake of 10 good people,” the Lord told him, “I still won't destroy the city.”	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.
33	After speaking with Abraham, the Lord left, and Abraham went back home.	And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
