- 1And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
- 2and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
- 3and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
- 4let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
- 5and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

- 11Now Abraham and Sarah were old, [supplied: and] well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
- 12And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
- 13And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?

- 14Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son.
- 15Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
- 16And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
- 17And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;
- 18seeing that Abraham had surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
- 19For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

- 20And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
- 21I 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.
- 22And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah.
- 23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?
- 24Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
