Genesis 18:22 in Context — Genesis 18

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.

23 Abraham s’approcha, et dit: Feras-tu aussi périr le juste avec le méchant?

24 Peut-être y a-t-il cinquante justes au milieu de la ville: les feras-tu périr aussi, et ne pardonneras-tu pas à la ville à cause des cinquante justes qui sont au milieu d’elle?
