with them to bring i1etji on The way.
II Aud the LORD said, Shall 1 hide from
Abraham that thing which do;
Is Seeing that Abraham shall surely be-
come great and mighty tfation, and all the
nations of the earth shall be blessed in him ?
IS Eor know him, that he will command
his children and his household after him,
and they shall ekeep the way of the LoED,
to do justice and judgment; that the LORD
may bring upon Alb, aha N that which he hath
spokeu of him.
20 And the LoED said, Because the cry of
sodom and Gomor,ah is great, and becau> e
their sin is very G'ievous,
q l will go down now, and see whether
they have done altogether according to The
cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not,
will know.
p And the men turned their faces from
thence, and went toward Sodom but Abra-
ham stood yet before the LORD.

vic ed?
"a Peiadveniure there be fifty righteous
within ihe ci y wilt thCh also destroy and
not spare the place for the fifty Iighteous that

Is That be far rom thee TO do sitter this
man3e:, to slay the ri.h;eons with the wick
ed and that the righteous should be as the
wicked, that be far fl ON 'hee: Shall not the
Judge of all the earth do ri1ht?
20 And the LORD said. II 1 find in Sodom
fry righteous within The city, then will
spare all the place for .Ieir sakes.
