Genèse 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 ) .

14 Est-il rien d'impossible à l'Éternel? A l'époque fixée je reviendrai vers toi, dans un an, et Sara aura un fils.

15 Et Sara nia, en disant: Je n'ai point ri; car elle eut peur. Mais il dit: Non, car tu as ri.

16 Et ces hommes se levèrent de là, et regardèrent vers Sodome; et Abraham allait avec eux, pour les reconduire.

17 Et l'Éternel dit: Cacherai-je à Abraham ce que je vais faire,

18 Quand Abraham doit devenir une nation grande et puissante, et que toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies en lui?
