1 Και εφανη εις αυτον ο Κυριος εις τας δρυς Μαμβρη, ενω εκαθητο εν τη θυρα της σκηνης εις το καυμα της ημερας.

2 Και υψωσας τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε· και ιδου, τρεις ανδρες ισταμενοι εμπροσθεν αυτου· και ως ειδεν, εδραμεν εις προυπαντησιν αυτων απο της θυρας της σκηνης, και προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους·

3 και ειπε, Κυριε μου, εαν ευρηκα χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου, μη παρελθης, παρακαλω, τον δουλον σου·

4 ας φερθη, παρακαλω, ολιγον υδωρ, και νιψατε τους ποδας σας, και αναπαυθητε υπο το δενδρον·

5 και εγω θελω φερει ολιγον αρτον, και στηριξατε την καρδιαν σας· επειτα θελετε παρελθει· επειδη δια τουτο επερασατε προς τον δουλον σας· οι δε ειπον, Καμε ουτω, καθως ειπας.

6 Και εσπευσεν ο Αβρααμ εις την σκηνην προς την Σαρραν και ειπε, Σπευσον ζυμωσον τρια μετρα σεμιδαλεως, και καμε εγκρυφιας.

7 Ο δε Αβρααμ εδραμεν εις τους βοας, και ελαβε μοσχαριον απαλον και καλον, και εδωκεν εις τον δουλον· ο δε εσπευσε να ετοιμαση αυτο·

8 επειτα ελαβε βουτυρον και γαλα και το μοσχαριον, το οποιον ητοιμασε, και εθεσεν εμπροσθεν αυτων· αυτος δε ιστατο πλησιον αυτων υπο το δενδρον, και αυτοι εφαγον.

9 Ειπον δε προς αυτον, Που ειναι Σαρρα η γυνη σου; Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εν τη σκηνη.

10 Και ειπεν, Εξαπαντος θελω επιστρεψει προς σε κατα τον αυτον τουτον καιρον του ετους· και ιδου, Σαρρα η γυνη σου θελει εχει υιον. Η δε Σαρρα ηκουσεν εν τη θυρα της σκηνης ητις ητο οπισθεν αυτου.

11 Ο δε Αβρααμ και η Σαρρα ησαν γεροντες, προβεβηκοτες εις ηλικιαν· εις την Σαρραν ειχον παυσει να γινωνται τα γυναικεια.

12 Εγελασε δε η Σαρρα καθ' εαυτην λεγουσα, Αφου εγηρασα, θελει γεινει εις εμε ηδονη και ο κυριος μου γερων;

13 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Αβρααμ, Δια τι εγελασεν η Σαρρα, λεγουσα, Αφου εγω εγηρασα, θελω τωοντι γεννησει;

14 ειναι τι αδυνατον εις τον Κυριον; εν τω ωρισμενω καιρω θελω επιστρεψει προς σε κατα τον αυτον τουτον καιρον του ετους, και η Σαρρα θελει εχει υιον.

15 Τοτε η Σαρρα ηρνηθη λεγουσα, δεν εγελασα· διοτι εφοβηθη. Ο δε ειπεν, Ουχι, αλλ' εγελασας.

16 Σηκωθεντες δε εκειθεν οι ανδρες διευθυνθησαν προς τα Σοδομα· και ο Αβρααμ επορευετο μετ' αυτων δια να συμπροπεμψη αυτους.

17 Και ειπε Κυριος, Θελω κρυψει εγω απο του Αβρααμ ο, τι καμνω;

18 ο δε Αβρααμ θελει εξαπαντος γεινει εθνος μεγα και δυνατον· και θελουσιν ευλογηθη εις αυτον παντα τα εθνη της γης·

19 επειδη γνωριζω αυτον οτι θελει διαταξει προς τους υιους αυτου και προς τον οικον αυτου, μεθ' εαυτον, και θελουσι φυλαξει την οδον του Κυριου, δια να πραττωσι δικαιοσυνην και κρισιν, ωστε να επιφερη ο Κυριος επι τον Αβρααμ τα οσα ελαλησε προς αυτον.

20 Ειπε δε Κυριος, Η κραυγη των Σοδομων και των Γομορρων επληθυνε, και η αμαρτια αυτων βαρεια σφοδρα·

21 θελω λοιπον καταβη και θελω ιδει αν επραξαν ολοκληρως κατα την κραυγην την ερχομενην προς εμε· και θελω γνωρισει, αν ουχι.

22 Και αναχωρησαντες εκειθεν οι ανδρες υπηγον προς τα Σοδομα· ο δε Αβρααμ ιστατο ετι ενωπιον του Κυριου.

23 Και πλησιασας ο Αβρααμ ειπε, Μηπως θελεις απολεσει τον δικαιον μετα του ασεβους;

24 εαν ηναι πεντηκοντα δικαιοι εν τη πολει, θελεις αρα γε απολεσει αυτους; και δεν ηθελες συγχωρησει εις τον τοπον δια τους πεντηκοντα δικαιους, τους εν αυτω;

25 μη γενοιτο ποτε συ να πραξης τοιουτον πραγμα, να θανατωσης δικαιον μετα ασεβους, και ο δικαιος να ηναι ως ο ασεβης μη γενοιτο ποτε εις σε ο κρινων πασαν την γην δεν θελει καμει κρισιν;

26 Ειπε δε Κυριος, Εαν ευρω εν Σοδομοις πεντηκοντα δικαιους εν τη πολει, θελω συγχωρησει εις παντα τον τοπον δι' αυτους.

27 Και αποκριθεις ο Αβρααμ ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα ετολμησα να ομιλησω προς τον Κυριον μου, ενω ειμαι γη και σποδος·

28 εαν λειψωσι πεντε εκ των πεντηκοντα δικαιων, θελεις απολεσει πασαν την πολιν εξ αιτιας των πεντε; Και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην εαν ευρω εκει τεσσαρακοντα πεντε.

29 Και προσεθεσεν ετι ο Αβρααμ να λαληση προς αυτον, και ειπεν, Εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει τεσσαρακοντα; Και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην χαριν των τεσσαρακοντα.

30 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ας μη παροξυνθη ο Κυριος μου εαν ετι λαλησω· εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει τριακοντα; Και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην εαν ευρω εκει τριακοντα.

31 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ιδου, τωρα ετολμησα να λαλησω προς τον Κυριον μου· εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει εικοσι; και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην χαριν των εικοσι.

32 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ας μη παροξυνθη ο Κυριος μου, εαν λαλησω ετι απαξ· εαν ευρεθωσιν εκει δεκα; και ειπε, Δεν θελω απολεσει αυτην χαριν των δεκα.

33 Και ανεχωρησεν ο Κυριος, αφου επαυσε να λαλη προς τον Αβρααμ· και ο Αβρααμ επεστρεψεν εις τον τοπον αυτου.

2136. Genesis 18

1. And Jehovah appeared to him in the oak-groves of Mamre, and he was sitting at the tent door, as the day was getting warmer.

2. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing over him. And he saw, and ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed down towards the ground. 1

3. And he said, My Lord, if now I have found grace in your eyes, do not, I beg of you, pass from over your servant.

4. Let now a little water be taken, and [all of you] wash your feet, and recline under the tree.

5. And I will take a piece a bread, that you may refresh yourselves; 2 after that you may pass on, for this is why you have passed over to your servant. And they said, Do as you have spoken.

6. And Abraham hastened towards the tent to Sarah, and said, Take quickly three measures of meal of fine flour, knead it, and make cakes.

7. And Abraham ran to the herd and took a young bull, 3 tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he hastened to make it ready.

8. And he took butter and milk, and the young bull, 3 which he made ready, and set it before them. And he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.

9. And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10. And he said, I will certainly return to you about this time next year, 4 and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah heard it at the tent door, and this was behind him.

11. And Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years; 5 and it had ceased to be with Sarah in the way it is with women.

12. And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have grown old, shall I have this pleasure, and my lord being old?

13. And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I really, in truth, bear a child, and I have grown old?

14. Will anything be too wonderful for Jehovah? At the set time I will return to you, about this time next year, 4 and Sarah will have a son.

15. And Sarah denied it, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And He said, No, but you did laugh.

16. And the men rose up from there and looked towards the face of Sodom; and Abraham went with them, to send them on their way.

17. And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing?

18. And Abraham will certainly become a great and numerous nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

19. For I know him that he will command his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the way of Jehovah to do righteousness and judgement, in order that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which He has spoken concerning him.

20. And Jehovah said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah has become great, and their sin has become extremely grave.

21. I will go down now, and I will see whether they have brought it to a close according to the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.

22. And the men looked from there and went towards Sodom; and Abraham still stood before Jehovah.

23. And Abraham drew near and said, Will You also destroy the righteous and the wicked?

24. Perhaps there may be fifty righteous persons in the midst of the city. Will You also destroy and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous persons who are in the midst of it?

25. Far be it from You to do such a thing as to make the righteous die with the wicked, so that the righteous will be as the wicked; far be it from You; will not the Judge of the whole earth execute judgement?

26. And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous persons in the midst of the city, I will spare the whole place for their sakes.

27. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, and I am [but] dust and ashes.

28. Perhaps the fifty righteous persons will lack five; will You for five destroy the whole city? And he said, I will not destroy it if I find forty five there.

29. And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, Perhaps forty will be found there. And He said, I will not do it for the sake of the forty.

30. And he said, Let not now my Lord be incensed and I will speak; perhaps thirty will be found there. And He said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.

31. And he said, Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord; perhaps twenty will be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.

32. And he said, Let not now my Lord be incensed, and I will speak just once more; perhaps ten will be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.

33. And Jehovah departed, when He had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

CONTENTS

First, this chapter deals here with the state of the Lord's perception within the Human, and of the communication at that time with the Divine before the perfect union existed of His Human Essence with the Divine Essence, which state is also what the Lord is referring to when He says,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18.
