| [1]And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 H8735unto him in the plainsH436 of MamreH4471: and he satH3427 H8802in the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117; |
[1]Again the Lord appeared unto him in the plain of Mamre, as he sat in his tent door about the heat of the day. |
| [2]And he lift upH5375 H8799his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200 , H8799and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 H8737by him: and when he sawH7200 H8799them, he ranH7323 H8799to meetH7125 H8800them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 H8691himself toward the groundH776, |
[2]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 to the ground. |
| [3]And saidH559 , H8799My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 H8804favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674 , H8799I pray thee, from thy servantH5650: |
[3]And he said, Lord, if I have now found favor in thy sight, go not, I pray thee, from thy servant. |
| [4]Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947 , H8714and washH7364 H8798your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 H8734under the treeH6086: |
[4]Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. |
| [5]And I will fetchH3947 H8799a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 H8798your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674 : H8799for therefore are ye comeH5674 H8804toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696 , H8765So doH6213 , H8799as thou hast saidH559.[H8799] |
[5]And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may comfort your hearts, afterward ye shall go your ways: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, Do even as thou hast said. |
| [6]And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 H8762into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559 , H8799Make ready quicklyH4116 H8761threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 H8798it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213.[H8798] |
[6]Then Abraham made haste into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready at once three measures of fine meal: knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. |
| [7]And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 H8804unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 H8799a calfH1121 H1241tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 H8799it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 H8762to dressH6213 itH8800. |
[7]And Abraham ran to the beasts, and took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant, who hasted to make it ready. |
| [8]And he tookH3947 H8799butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1121 H1241which he had dressedH6213 , H8804and setH5414 H8799it before themH6440; and he stoodH5975 H8802by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.[H8799] |
[8]And he took butter and milk, and the calf, which he had prepared, and set before them, and stood himself by them under the tree, and they did eat. |
| [9]And they saidH559 H8799unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559 , H8799Behold, in the tentH168. |
[9]Then they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he answered, Behold, she is in the tent. |
| [10]And he saidH559 , H8799I will certainlyH7725 H8800returnH7725 H8799unto thee according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 H8802it in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind himH310. |
[10]And he said, I will certainly come again unto thee according to the time of life: and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. and Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. |
| [11]Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 H8802in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 H8804to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802. |
[11](Now Abraham and Sarah were old and stricken in age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women) |
| [12]Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 H8799within herselfH7130, sayingH559 , H8800AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 H8800shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204?[H8804] |
[12]Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old, and my lord also, shall I have lust? |
| [13]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 H8799unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711 , H8804sayingH559 , H8800Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 H8799a child, whichH589 am oldH2204?[H8804] |
[13]And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah thus laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, which am old? |
| [14]IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 H8735for the LORDH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 H8799unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121. |
[14](Shall anything be hard to the Lord? At the time appointed will I return unto thee, even according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.) |
| [15]Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584 , H8762sayingH559 , H8800I laughedH6711 H8804not; for she was afraidH3372 . H8804And he saidH559 , H8799NayH3808; but thou didst laughH6711.[H8804] |
[15]But Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not: for she was afraid. And he said, It is not so: for thou laughedst. |
| [16]And the menH582 rose upH6965 H8799from thence, and lookedH8259 H8686towardH6440 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 H8802with them to bring them on the wayH7971.[H8763] |
[16]Afterward the men did rise up from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. |
| [17]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 , H8804Shall I hideH3680 H8764from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I doH6213;[H8802] |
[17]And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do, |
| [18]Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in himH8738? |
[18]Seeing that Abraham shall be indeed a great and a mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? |
| [19]For I knowH3045 H8804him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 H8762his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 H8804the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 H8800justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 H8687upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of himH8765. |
[19]For I know him that he will command his sons and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that he hath spoken unto him. |
| [20]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 , H8799Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH7227, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievousH3513;[H8804] |
[20]Then the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is exceeding grievous, |
| [21]I will go downH3381 H8799now, and seeH7200 H8799whether they have doneH6213 H8804altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 H8802unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.[H8799] |
[21]I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to that cry which is come unto me: and if not, that I may know. |
| [22]And the menH582 turned their facesH6437 H8799from thence, and wentH3212 H8799toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 H8802yetH5750 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. |
[22]And the men turned thence and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord. |
| [23]And AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066 , H8799and saidH559 , H8799Wilt thou also destroyH5595 H8799the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563? |
[23]Then Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? |
| [24]Peradventure there beH3426 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892: wilt thou also destroyH5595 H8799and not spareH5375 H8799the placeH4725 forH4616 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are thereinH7130? |
[24]If there be fifty righteous within the city, wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? |
| [25]That be farH2486 from thee to doH6213 H8800after this mannerH1697, to slayH4191 H8687the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563: and that the righteousH6662 should be as the wickedH7563, that be farH2486 from thee: Shall not the JudgeH8199 H8802of all the earthH776 doH6213 H8799rightH4941? |
[25]Be it far from thee from doing this thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be even as the wicked, be it far from thee. Shall not the judge of all the world do right? |
| [26]And the LORDH3068 saidH559 , H8799If I findH4672 H8799in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will spareH5375 H8804all the place for their sakesH4725. |
[26]And the Lord answered, If I shall find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then will I spare all the place for their sakes. |
| [27]And AbrahamH85 answeredH6030 H8799and saidH559 , H8799Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 H8689to speakH1696 H8763unto the LordH136, whichH595 am but dustH6083 and ashesH665: |
[27]Then Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have begun to speak unto my Lord, and I am but dust and ashes. |
| [28]Peradventure there shall lackH2637 H8799fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 H8686all the cityH5892 for lack of fiveH2568? And he saidH559 , H8799If I findH4672 H8799there fortyH705 and fiveH2568, I will not destroyH7843 itH8686. |
[28]If there shall lack five of fifty righteous, wilt thou destroy all the city for five? And he said, If I find there five and forty, I will not destroy it. |
| [29]And he spakeH1696 H8763unto him yet againH3254 , H8686and saidH559 , H8799Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 H8735there. And he saidH559 , H8799I will not doH6213 H8799it for forty's sakeH705. |
[29]And he yet spake to him again, and said, What if there shall be found forty there? Then he answered, I will not do it for forty's sake. |
| [30]And he saidH559 H8799unto him, OhH4994 let not the LordH136 be angryH2734 , H8799and I will speakH1696 : H8762Peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 H8735there. And he saidH559 , H8799I will not doH6213 H8799it, if I findH4672 H8799thirty thereH7970. |
[30]Again he said, Let not my Lord now be angry, that I speak, What if thirty be found there? Then he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. |
| [31]And he saidH559 , H8799Behold now, I have taken upon meH2974 H8689to speakH1696 H8763unto the LordH136: Peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 H8735there. And he saidH559 , H8799I will not destroyH7843 H8686it for twenty's sakeH6242. |
[31]Moreover he said, Behold, now I have begun to speak unto my Lord, What if twenty be found there? And he answered, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. |
| [32]And he saidH559 , H8799Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734 , H8799and I will speakH1696 H8762yetH389 but this onceH6471: Peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 H8735there. And he saidH559 , H8799I will not destroyH7843 H8686it for ten's sakeH6235. |
[32]Then he said, Let not my Lord be now angry, and I will speak but this once, What if ten be found there? And he answered, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. |
| [33]And the LORDH3068 went his wayH3212 , H8799as soon asH834 he had leftH3615 H8765communingH1696 H8763with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 H8804unto his placeH4725. |
[33]And the Lord went his way when he had left communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned unto his place. |
