Gênesis 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.''

Gênesis 18:22 In-Context

20 Disse-lhe, pois, o SENHOR: “As acusações contra Sodoma e Gomorra são tantas e o seu pecado é tão grave
21 que descerei para ver se o que eles têm feito corresponde ao que tenho ouvido. Se não, eu saberei”.
22 Os homens partiram dali e foram para Sodoma, mas Abraão permaneceu diante do SENHOR.
23 Abraão aproximou-se dele e disse: “Exterminarás o justo com o ímpio?
24 E se houver cinquenta justos na cidade? Ainda a destruirás e não pouparás o lugar por amor aos cinquenta justos que nele estão?
