Genesi 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:22

And the men turned their faces from thence
From the place to which Abraham brought them on; these were only two of them, for the third continued with Abraham: and went towards Sodom;
and are the two angels said to come thither at evening, ( Genesis 19:1 ) : but Abraham stood yet before the Lord;
before the third person, whom Abraham now began to know more clearly; he stood before him with all reverence and humility, to hear what he had further to say to him, as well as to say something to him himself; he stood "yet", he continued to stand after the departure of the two angels that were gone to Sodom. Onkelos and Jonathan paraphrase it,

``he ministered in prayer before the Lord.''

Genesi 18:22 In-Context

20 Il Signore adunque disse: Certo il grido di Sodoma e di Gomorra è grande, e il lor peccato è molto grave.
21 Ora io scenderò, e vedrò se son venuti allo stremo, come il grido n’è pervenuto a me; e se no, io lo saprò.
22 Quegli uomini adunque, partitisi di là, s’inviarono verso Sodoma; ed Abrahamo stette ancora davanti al Signore.
23 Ed Abrahamo si accostò, e disse: Faresti tu pur perire il giusto con l’empio?
24 Forse vi son cinquanta uomini giusti dentro a quella città; li faresti tu eziandìo perire? anzi non perdoneresti tu a quel luogo per amor di cinquanta uomini giusti, che vi fosser dentro?
