    Genesis 18
    • 1   And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
    • 2   And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
    • 3   And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
    • 4   Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
    • 5   And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
    • 6   And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead [it], and make cakes upon the hearth.
    • 7   And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
    • 8   And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
    • 9   And they said to him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
    • 10   And he said, I will certainly return to thee according to the time of life; and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard [it] in the tent door, which [was] behind him.
    • 11   Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] far advanced in age; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
    • 12   Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
    • 13   And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old?
    • 14   Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
    • 15   Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
    • 16   And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
    • 17   And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
    • 18   Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
    • 19   For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
    • 20   And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
    • 21   I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, I will know.
    • 22   And the men turned their faces from thence, and went towards Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
    • 23   And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
    • 24   Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that [are] in it?
    • 25   That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
    • 26   And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
    • 27   And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I, who [am] dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the Lord.
    • 28   Peradventure there will lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].
    • 29   And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Peradventure there will be forty found there. And he said, I will not do [it] for forty's sake.
    • 30   And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there will thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.
    • 31   And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord: Peradventure there will be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
    • 32   And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten will be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
    • 33   And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
