| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And 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. |

| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Is 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. |

| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. |

| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25That 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? |

| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Peradventure 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And 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. |
