10. And He said, “I shall certainly return to you according to the time of life, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.
11. Now Aḇraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age, and Sarah was past the way of women.
12. And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my master being old too?”
13. And יהוה said to Aḇraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I truly have a child, since I am old?’
14. “Is any matter too hard for יהוה? At the appointed time I am going to return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah is to have a son.”
15. But 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 toward Seḏom, and Aḇraham went with them to send them away.
17. And יהוה said, “Shall I hide from Aḇraham what I am doing,
18. since Aḇraham is certainly going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19. “For I have known him, so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard the way of יהוה, to do righteousness and right-ruling, so that יהוה brings to Aḇraham what He has spoken to him.”
20. And יהוה said, “Because the outcry against Seḏom and Amorah is great, and because their sin is very heavy,
21. “I am going down now to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me, and if not, I know.”
22. So the men turned away from there and went toward Seḏom, but יהוה still stood before Aḇraham.
23. And Aḇraham drew near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wrong?
24. “Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city, would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?
25. “Far be it from You to act in this way, to slay the righteous with the wrong, so that the righteous should be as the wrong. Far be it from You! Does the Judge of all the earth not do right?”
