16. Then the men left and went to a place where they could look down at Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on their way.
17. And the Lord said to himself, “I will not hide from Abraham what I am going to do.
18. His descendants will become a great and mighty nation, and through him I will bless all the nations.
19. I have chosen him in order that he may command his sons and his descendants to obey me and to do what is right and just. If they do, I will do everything for him that I have promised.”
