Genesis 18:16-22

Yahweh and Abraham Speak About Sodom

16 Then ^athe men rose up from there and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. 17 ^aNow Yahweh said, “Shall I conceal from Abraham ^bwhat I am about to do, 18 since Abraham will surely become a great and ¹mighty nation, and in him ^aall the nations of the earth will be blessed? 19 For I have ¹^aknown him, so that he may ^bcommand his children and his household after him, ^cthat they keep the way of Yahweh to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham ^dwhat He has spoken about him.” 20 So Yahweh said, “^aThe outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. 21 I will ^ago down now and see whether they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”
22 Then ^athe men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before ^bYahweh.
