20ِThen the Lord said to Abraham:ِ ``There are terrible accusations against Sodom and Gomorrah and their sin is very great. I must go down to find out whether or not the accusations that I have heard is true or not!''
22ِThen the two men left and went on towards Sodom, but the Lord remained with ABRAHAM.
ABRAHAM approached the Lord and said:ِ ``Are you really going to destroy the innocent with the guilty? If there are 50 innocent people in the city, will you destroy the whole city?'' The Lord said:ِ ``If I find 50 innocent people in Sodom I will spare the whole city for the sake of them.''
(Then ABRAHAM haggled with the Lord to reduce the number of the innocent people without the town being destroyed and finally ABRAHAM said to the Lord:)
32ِ``Please don't be angry Lord! I will speak just once more. What if only ten are found?'' He said:ِ ``I will not destroy it if there be ten.'' After He had finished speaking with ABRAHAM. The Lord went away and ABRAHAM returned home.
