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. [ 197 ] THE ANGELS IN THE HOUSE OF LOT GENESIS ِ 19 1ِWhen the two angels came to Sodom that evening Lot was sitting at the city gate. As soon as he saw them he went to them and bowed down before them and said:ِ ``Sirs! I am here to serve you. Please come to my house.

You can wash your feet and stay at night....'' But they answered no; we will spend the night here in the city square and by urging them they finally went with him to his house. 4- Before the guests went to bed the men of Sodom surrounded the house. All the men of the city, both young and old were there! They said:ِ ``Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them to us.'' The men of Sodom wanted to have sex with them! Lot said to them:ِ ``Friends!

I beg you don't do such a wicked thing. I have two daughters who are still virgins. Let me bring them out to you and you can do whatever you want with them. But don't do anything to the men!....'' 9ِBut they said:ِ ``Get out of our way you foreigner. Who are you to tell us what to do!?'' They pushed Lot back and moved on to break the door. But the two men came out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door.

11ِThen they struck all the men outside with blindness, so that they could not find the door.
