Genesis 18:20 in Context — Genesis 18
18 Abraham deviendra certainement une nation grande et puissante, et en lui seront bénies toutes les nations de la terre.
19 Car je l’ai choisi, afin qu’il ordonne à ses fils et à sa maison après lui de garder la voie de l’Éternel, en pratiquant la droiture et la justice, et qu’ainsi l’Éternel accomplisse en faveur d’Abraham les promesses qu’il lui a faites…
20 Et l’Éternel dit: Le cri contre Sodome et Gomorrhe s’est accru, et leur péché est énorme.
21 C’est pourquoi je vais descendre, et je verrai s’ils ont agi entièrement selon le bruit venu jusqu’à moi; et si cela n’est pas, je le saurai.
22 Les hommes s’éloignèrent, et allèrent vers Sodome. Mais Abraham se tint encore en présence de l’Éternel.
