| JPS
| 18:1
| And the LORD appeared unto him by the terebinths of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
|
| ONK
| 18:1
| And the Lord was revealed to him in the
Vale of Mamre; and he sat in the door of the tent
while the day was hot.
|
| PAL
| 18:1
| And the glory of the Lord was revealed to him in the
valley of Mamre; and he, being ill from the pain of
circumcision, sat at the door of the tabernacle in the
fervour (or strength) of the day.

| GENESIS 18:2
|
| JPS
| 18:2
| and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed down to the earth
|
| ONK
| 18:2
| And he lifted up his eyes and
looked, and, behold, three men stood towards him; and
he saw, and ran from the door of the tent to meet them,
and worshipped upon the earth.
|
| PAL
| 18:2
| And he lifted up his
eyes and looked, and, behold, three angels in the
resemblance of men were standing before him; (angels)
who had been sent from the necessity of three things;—because it is not possible for a ministering angel to be
sent for more than one purpose at a time;—one, then,
had come to make known to him that Sarah should bear
a man-child; one had come to deliver Lot; and one to
overthrow Sedom and Amorah. And when he saw
them, he ran to meet them from the door of the tent,
and bowed himself on the earth.
|
| JER
| 18:2
| Three angels were sent to our father
Abraham; and the three were sent for three things;—because it is not possible that one of the high angels
should be sent for more things than one. The first
angel was sent to announce to our father Abraham,
that, behold, Sarah would bear Izhak; the second angel
was sent to deliver Lot from the midst of the
overthrow; the third angel was sent to overthrow Sedom
and Amorah, Admah and Zeboim. Therefore was there
a word of prophecy from before the Lord unto Abraham
the Just, and the Word of the Lord was revealed to him
in the valley of vision; and he sat in the door of the
tabernacle, comforting himself from his circumcision in
the fervour (or strength) of the day.

days, and with Sarah had ceased to be the way of
women.

After that I am old shall I have a child, and my lord
(being also) old?

After that I am old shall I have conceptions, and my
lord Abraham is old?

thence, and looked towards the face of Sedom; and
Abraham went with them to accompany them.

from thence, and the one who had made known the

Abraham that which I am about to do; and it is right
that before I do it, I should make it known to him.

I hide from Abraham, My friend, that which I am about
to do? Forasmuch as the town of Sedom is among the
gifts that I have given to him, it is just that I should
not overthrow it, till I have made it known to him.

house after him, to keep the ways which are right before
the Lord, to do righteousness and judgment; that the
Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He hath
spoken concerning him.

| And the Lord said to the ministering angels, The cry
of Sedom and Amorah, because they oppress the poor,

guilt exceedingly weighty.

according to the report of them which hath ascended before
me. I will deal with them thoroughly unless they
convert; but if they convert, I will not punish.

| I will now appear, and see
whether, as the cry of a damsel torn away, which
ascendeth before Me, they have made completion of
their sins (or, whether they have made an end of their
sins); and if they have wrought repentance, shall they
not be as (if) innocent before Me? and as if not
knowing, I will not punish.

appear and see, according as the cry of the people of
Sedom and Amorah hath ascended before Me, whether
they have made a complete end. It may be, that some
among these sinners do not know that their works of
evil are manifest before Me. And if they seek to work
repentance, behold, they shall be considered before Me
as if those works had not been known.

judgments than that Thou shouldst do a thing like that,
