Genesis 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 ) .

Genesis 18:16 In-Context

14 numquid Deo est quicquam difficile iuxta condictum revertar ad te hoc eodem tempore vita comite et habebit Sarra filium
15 negavit Sarra dicens non risi timore perterrita Dominus autem non est inquit ita sed risisti
16 cum ergo surrexissent inde viri direxerunt oculos suos contra Sodomam et Abraham simul gradiebatur deducens eos
17 dixitque Dominus num celare potero Abraham quae gesturus sum
18 cum futurus sit in gentem magnam ac robustissimam et benedicendae sint in illo omnes nationes terrae
