Genesis 18 · Grade 3
Abraham Prays for Sodom
Read the Story
The Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre. Abraham saw three men and hurried to welcome them. He brought water for their feet, had Sarah bake bread, and prepared a calf. He stood by them under the tree while they ate.
The Lord said, Sarah your wife will have a son. Sarah laughed to herself because she and Abraham were old. The Lord asked, Is anything too hard for Yahweh? Sarah was afraid and said, I didn't laugh, but the Lord said, No, but you did laugh.
The Lord told Abraham that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was very great. Abraham asked, Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? He asked what God would do if there were fifty righteous people. He kept asking: forty-five, forty, thirty, twenty, ten. Each time God said He would not destroy the city for their sake.
