Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:5 - and I will [fn]bring H3947 a piece H6595 of bread H3899, so that you may [fn]refresh H5582 yourselves H3820; after H310 that you may go H5674 on H5674, since H3588 H5921 H3651 you have [fn]visited H5674 your servant H5650.” And they said H559, “So H3651 do H6213 as you have said H1696.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:6 - So Abraham H85 hurried H4116 into the tent H168 to Sarah H8283, and said H559, “[fn]Quickly H4116, prepare H4116 three H7969 [fn]measures H5429 of fine H5560 flour H7058 H5560, knead H3888 it, and make H6213 bread H5692 cakes H5692.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:7 - Abraham H85 also ran H7323 to the herd H1241, and took H3947 a tender H7390 and [fn]choice H2896 calf H1121 H1241 and gave H5414 it to the servant H5288, and he hurried H4116 to prepare H6213 it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:8 - He took H3947 curds H2529 and milk H2461 and the calf H1121 H1241 which H834 he had prepared H6213, and set H5414 it before H6440 them; and he was standing H5975 by them under H8478 the tree H6086 [fn]as they ate H398.

Then they said H559 to him, “Where H335 is your wife H802 Sarah H8283?” And he said H559, “There H2009, in the tent H168.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:10 - He said H559, “I will certainly H7725 return H7725 to you [fn]at this time H6256 next H2416 year H2416; and behold H2009, your wife H802 Sarah H8283 will have a son H1121.” And Sarah H8283 was listening H8085 at the tent H168 door H6607, which H1931 was behind H310 him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:11 - Now Abraham H85 and Sarah H8283 were old H2205, advanced H935 in age H3117; Sarah H8283 was past H2308 [fn]childbearing H734 H802.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:12 - So Sarah H8283 laughed H6711 [fn]to herself H7130, saying H559, “After H310 I have become H1086 old H1086, am I to have H1961 pleasure H5730, my lord H113 being H2204 old H2204 also?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:13 - But the LORD H3068 said H559 to Abraham H85, “Why H4100 did Sarah H8283 laugh H6711, saying H559, ‘Shall I actually H637 H552 give H3205 birth H3205 to a child, when I am H2204 so old H2204?’
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:14 - “Is H6381 anything H1697 too H4480 [fn]difficult H6381 for the LORD H3068? At the appointed H4150 time H4150 I will return H7725 to you, [fn]at this H2416 time H6256 next H2416 year H2416, and Sarah H8283 will have a son H1121.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:15 - Sarah H8283 denied H3584 it, however, saying H559, “I did not laugh H6711”; for she was H3372 afraid H3372. And He said H559, “No H3808, but you did laugh H6711.”

Then the men H376 rose H6965 up H6965 from there H8033, and looked H8259 down H8259 toward H5921 H6440 Sodom H5467; and Abraham H85 was walking H1980 with them to send H7971 them off.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:17 - The LORD H3068 said H559, “Shall I hide H3680 from Abraham H85 what H834 I am about to do H6213,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:18 - since Abraham H85 will certainly H1961 become H1961 a great H1419 and [fn]mighty H6099 nation H1471, and in him all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776 will be blessed H1288?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:19 - “For I have [fn]chosen H3045 him, so H4616 that H4616 he may command H6680 his children H1121 and his household H1004 after H310 him to keep H8104 the way H1870 of the LORD H3068 by doing H6213 righteousness H6666 and justice H4941, so H4616 that H4616 the LORD H3068 may bring H935 upon Abraham H85 what H834 He has spoken H1696 about H5921 him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:20 - And the LORD H3068 said H559, “The outcry H2201 of Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah H6017 is H7231 indeed H3588 great H7231, and their sin H2403 is H3513 exceedingly H3966 grave H3513.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:21 - “I will go H3381 down H3381 now H4994 and see H7200 whether they have done H6213 entirely H3605 as the outcry H6818, which has come H935 to Me indicates; and if H518 not, I will know H3045.”

Far H2486 be it from You! Shall not the Judge H8199 of all H3605 the earth H776 [fn]deal H6213 justly H4941?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:26 - So the LORD H3068 said H559, “If H518 I find H4672 in Sodom H5467 fifty H2572 righteous H6662 within H8432 the city H5892, then I will [fn]spare H5375 the entire H3605 place H4725 on their account H5668.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:27 - And Abraham H85 replied H6030, “Now H4994 behold H2009, I have [fn]ventured H2974 to speak H1696 to the Lord H136, although I am only dust H6083 and ashes H665.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:28 - “Suppose H194 the fifty H2572 righteous H6662 are lacking H2637 five H2568, will You destroy H7843 the entire H3605 city H5892 because of five H2568?” And He said H559, “I will not destroy H7843 it if H518 I find H4672 forty-five H705 H2568 there H8033.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 18:31 - And he said H559, “Now H4994 behold H2009, I have [fn]ventured H2974 to speak H1696 to the Lord H136; suppose H194 twenty H6242 are found H4672 there H8033?” And He said H559, “I will not destroy H7843 it on account H5668 of the twenty H6242.”
