And he said: O let not my Lord {LORde} be angry,
that I speak. What if there be found thirty there? And he said: I
will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said: Oh, see, I
have begun to speak unto my Lord, {LORde} what if there be twenty
found there? And he said: I will not destroy them for twenty's
sake. And he said: O let not my Lord {LORde} be angry, that I
speak yet, but even once more only. What if ten be found there?
And he said: I will not destroy them for ten's sake. And the LORD
went his way as soon as he had left communing with Abraham. And
Abraham returned unto his place.
Chapter .xix.
And there came two angels to Sodom at even. And Lot sat at the
gate of the city. And Lot saw them, and rose up against {to meet}
them, and he bowed himself to the ground with his face. And he
said: See lords, turn in I pray you in to your servant's house and
tarry all night and wash your feet, and rise up early and go on
your ways. And they said: nay, but we will bide in the streets all
night. And he compelled them exceedingly. And they turned in unto
him and entered into his house, and he made them a feast and did
bake sweet cakes, and they ate. But before they went to rest, the
men of the city of Sodom compassed the house round about both old
and young, all the people from all quarters.
