14. Is any thing too hard for Hashem? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, in due season, and Sarah shall have ben (son).
15. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And He said, Oh yes but thou didst laugh.
16. And the Anashim rose up from thence, and peered toward S'dom; and Avraham went with them to send them on the way.
17. And Hashem said, Shall I hide from Avraham that thing which I do;
18. Seeing that Avraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and kol goyei ha'aretz (all the nations of the earth) shall be blessed in him?
19. For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall be shomer over the Derech Hashem, to do tzedakah and mishpat; that Hashem may bring upon Avraham that which He hath spoken [promised] of him.
20. And Hashem said, Because the outcry of S'dom and Amora is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the crying out [for punishment] of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will have da'as.
22. And the Men turned their faces from thence, and went toward S'dom; but Avraham stood yet before Hashem.
