1. And the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 unto H413 him in the plains H436 of Mamre H4471 : and he H1931 sat H3427 in the tent H168 door H6607 in the heat H2527 of the day H3117 ;
|
1. 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. And he lifted up H5375 his eyes H5869 and looked H7200 , and, lo H2009 , three H7969 men H376 stood H5324 by H5921 him : and when he saw H7200 them , he ran H7323 to meet H7125 them from the tent door H4480 H6607 H168 , and bowed himself H7812 toward the ground H776 ,
|
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 toward the ground,
|
|
3. And said H559 , My Lord H136 , if H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 favor H2580 in thy sight H5869 , pass not away H5674 H408 , I pray thee H4994 , from H4480 H5921 thy servant H5650 :
|
3. And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
|
|
4. Let a little H4592 water H4325 , I pray you H4994 , be fetched H3947 , and wash H7364 your feet H7272 , and rest yourselves H8172 under H8478 the tree H6086 :
|
4. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
|
|
5. And I will fetch H3947 a morsel H6595 of bread H3899 , and comfort H5582 ye your hearts H3820 ; after that H310 ye shall pass on H5674 : for H3588 therefore H5921 H3651 are ye come H5674 to H5921 your servant H5650 . And they said H559 , So H3651 do H6213 , as H834 thou hast said H1696 .
|
5. 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. And Abraham H85 hastened H4116 into the tent H168 unto H413 Sarah H8283 , and said H559 , Make ready quickly H4116 three H7969 measures H5429 of fine H5560 meal H7058 , knead H3888 it , and make H6213 cakes upon the hearth H5692 .
|
6. 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. And Abraham H85 ran H7323 unto H413 the herd H1241 , and fetched H3947 a calf H1121 H1241 tender H7390 and good H2896 , and gave H5414 it unto H413 a young man H5288 ; and he hasted H4116 to dress H6213 it.
|
7. 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. And he took H3947 butter H2529 , and milk H2461 , and the calf H1121 H1241 which H834 he had dressed H6213 , and set H5414 it before H6440 them ; and he H1931 stood H5975 by H5921 them under H8478 the tree H6086 , and they did eat H398 .
|
8. 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 said H559 unto H413 him, Where H346 is Sarah H8283 thy wife H802 ? And he said H559 , Behold H2009 , in the tent H168 .
|
9. And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
|
|
10. And he said H559 , I will certainly return H7725 H7725 unto H413 thee according to the time H6256 of life H2416 ; and, lo H2009 , Sarah H8283 thy wife H802 shall have a son H1121 . And Sarah H8283 heard H8085 it in the tent H168 door H6607 , which H1931 was behind H310 him.
|
10. 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. Now Abraham H85 and Sarah H8283 were old H2205 and well stricken H935 in age H3117 ; and it ceased H2308 to be H1961 with Sarah H8283 after the manner H734 of women H802 .
|
11. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
|
|
12. Therefore Sarah H8283 laughed H6711 within H7130 herself, saying H559 , After H310 I am waxed old H1086 shall I have H1961 pleasure H5730 , my lord H113 being old H2204 also?
|
12. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
|
|
13. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Abraham H85 , Wherefore H4100 H2088 did Sarah H8283 laugh H6711 , saying H559 , Shall I of a surety H637 H552 bear a child H3205 , which H589 am old H2204 ?
|
13. And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
|
|
14. Is any thing H1697 too hard H6381 for the LORD H4480 H3068 ? At the time appointed H4150 I will return H7725 unto H413 thee , according to the time H6256 of life H2416 , and Sarah H8283 shall have a son H1121 .
|
14. 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. Then Sarah H8283 denied H3584 , saying H559 , I laughed H6711 not H3808 ; for H3588 she was afraid H3372 . And he said H559 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 thou didst laugh H6711 .
|
15. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
|
|
16. And the men H376 rose up H6965 from thence H4480 H8033 , and looked H8259 toward H5921 H6440 Sodom H5467 : and Abraham H85 went H1980 with H5973 them to bring them on the way H7971 .
|
16. And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
|
|
17. And the LORD H3068 said H559 , Shall I H589 hide H3680 from Abraham H4480 H85 that thing which H834 I H589 do H6213 ;
|
17. And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
|
|
18. Seeing that Abraham H85 shall surely become H1961 H1961 a great H1419 and mighty H6099 nation H1471 , and all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776 shall be blessed H1288 in him?
|
18. Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
|
|
19. For H3588 I know H3045 him, that H4616 H834 he will command H6680 H853 his children H1121 and his household H1004 after H310 him , and they shall keep H8104 the way H1870 of the LORD H3068 , to do H6213 justice H6666 and judgment H4941 ; that H4616 the LORD H3068 may bring H935 upon H5921 Abraham H85 H853 that which H834 he hath spoken H1696 of H5921 him.
|
19. 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. And the LORD H3068 said H559 , Because H3588 the cry H2201 of Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah H6017 is great H7231 , and because H3588 their sin H2403 is very H3966 grievous H3513 ;
|
20. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
|
|
21. I will go down H3381 now H4994 , and see H7200 whether they have done H6213 altogether H3617 according to the cry H6818 of it , which is come H935 unto H413 me ; and if H518 not H3808 , I will know H3045 .
|
21. 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. And the men H376 turned their faces H6437 from thence H4480 H8033 , and went H1980 toward Sodom H5467 : but Abraham H85 stood H5975 yet H5750 before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
22. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
|
|
23. And Abraham H85 drew near H5066 , and said H559 , Wilt thou also H637 destroy H5595 the righteous H6662 with H5973 the wicked H7563 ?
|
23. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
|
|
24. Peradventure H194 there be H3426 fifty H2572 righteous H6662 within H8432 the city H5892 : wilt thou also H637 destroy H5595 and not H3808 spare H5375 the place H4725 for H4616 the fifty H2572 righteous H6662 that H834 are therein H7130 ?
|
24. 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. That be far H2486 from thee to do H4480 H6213 after this H2088 manner H1697 , to slay H4191 the righteous H6662 with H5973 the wicked H7563 : and that the righteous H6662 should be H1961 as the wicked H7563 , that be far H2486 from thee : Shall not H3808 the Judge H8199 of all H3605 the earth H776 do H6213 right H4941 ?
|
25. 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. And 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 spare H5375 all H3605 the place H4725 for their sakes H5668 .
|
26. 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. And Abraham H85 answered H6030 and said H559 , Behold H2009 now H4994 , I have taken upon H2974 me to speak H1696 unto H413 the Lord H136 , which H595 am but dust H6083 and ashes H665 :
|
27. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
|
|
28. Peradventure H194 there shall lack H2637 five H2568 of the fifty H2572 righteous H6662 : wilt thou destroy H7843 H853 all H3605 the city H5892 for lack of five H2568 ? And he said H559 , If H518 I find H4672 there H8033 forty H705 and five H2568 , I will not H3808 destroy H7843 it .
|
28. 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. And he spoke H1696 unto H413 him yet H5750 again H3254 , and said H559 , Peradventure H194 there shall be forty H705 found H4672 there H8033 . And he said H559 , I will not H3808 do H6213 it for forty's sake H5668 H705 .
|
29. 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. And he said H559 unto him , Oh H4994 let not H408 the Lord H136 be angry H2734 , and I will speak H1696 : Peradventure H194 there shall thirty H7970 be found H4672 there H8033 . And he said H559 , I will not H3808 do H6213 it , if H518 I find H4672 thirty H7970 there H8033 .
|
30. 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. And he said H559 , Behold H2009 now H4994 , I have taken upon H2974 me to speak H1696 unto H413 the Lord H136 : Peradventure H194 there shall be twenty H6242 found H4672 there H8033 . And he said H559 , I will not H3808 destroy H7843 it for twenty's sake H5668 H6242 .
|
31. 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. And he said H559 , Oh H4994 let not H408 the Lord H136 be angry H2734 , and I will speak H1696 yet H389 but this once H6471 : Peradventure H194 ten H6235 shall be found H4672 there H8033 . And he said H559 , I will not H3808 destroy H7843 it for ten's sake H5668 H6235 .
|
32. 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. And the LORD H3068 went his way H1980 , as soon as H834 he had left H3615 communing H1696 with H413 Abraham H85 : and Abraham H85 returned H7725 unto his place H4725 .
|
33. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
