Studie

       

2 At itiningin ang kaniyang mga mata at nagmalas, at, narito't tatlong lalake ay nakatayo sa tabi niya: at pagkakita niya sa kanila, ay tinakbo niya upang sila'y salubungin mula sa pintuan ng tolda, at yumukod siya sa lupa.

2278. Verse 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.

'He said, Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord' means here, as previously, [the state of] humiliation in which the human existed before the Divine. 'Perhaps twenty will be found there' means even if there is no existence of conflict, but good is nevertheless present. 'And He said, I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty' means that they will be saved.
