[:en]Abraham saw 3 men standing nearby and invited them to his house to eat and get some rest. They informed Abraham that about this time next year, Sarah will have a son. When Sarah heard it, she laughed to herself saying: “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?” (v. 12) But the Lord said to Abraham: “Is there anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son” (v. 14)
The Lord told Abraham that the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah was so great and their sin so grievous. God was going to destroy them. But Abraham pleaded for mercy 6 times. From 50 to 45 to 40 to 30 to 20 to 10. The Lord answered: “For the sake of 10, I will not destroy it” (v. 32)[:]
