Gênesis 18:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:16

And the men rose up from thence
From their seats at Abraham's table under the tree, all three of them: and looked toward Sodom;
set their faces and steered their course that way, by which it appeared they intended to go thither: the Targum of Jonathan says, that he that brought the news to Sarah went up, to the highest heavens, and two of them looked toward Sodom; but it seems most likely, that, when the two went on their way to Sodom, the third stayed with Abraham: and Abraham went with them, to bring them on the way;
which was another piece of civility to strangers used in those early times, as well as in later ones, ( Acts 20:38 ) ( 21:5 ) .

Gênesis 18:16 In-Context

14 Existe alguma coisa impossível para o SENHOR? Na primavera voltarei a você, e Sara terá um filho”.
15 Sara teve medo, e por isso mentiu: “Eu não ri”.Mas ele disse: “Não negue, você riu”.
16 Quando os homens se levantaram para partir, avistaram lá embaixo Sodoma; e Abraão os acompanhou para despedir-se.
17 Então o SENHOR disse: “Esconderei de Abraão o que estou para fazer?
18 Abraão será o pai de uma nação grande e poderosa, e por meio dele todas as nações da terra serão abençoadas.
