23 And Abraham draws near and says, is it so that you scrape away the just with the wicked?
24 Perhaps there be fifty just midst the city: is it so that you scrape away and not spare the place for the fifty just inside?
25 Far be it from you to work this word, to deathify the just with the wicked: and that it be, as the just, as the wicked. Far be it from you! The Judge of all the earth, works he not judgment?
26 And Yah Veh says, If I find in Sedom fifty just midst the city, then I spare all the place for their sakes.
27 And Abraham answers and says, Behold, I beseech, I will to word to Adonay, I - dust and ashes:
28 Perhaps there lack five of the fifty just: you - ruin the whole city for five? And he says, If I find there forty-five, I ruin not.
29 And he words to him yet again and says, Perhaps there be forty found there. And he says, I work it not for sake of forty.
30 And he says, I beseech, Adonay, inflame not and I word: Perhaps thirty be found there. And he says, I work not, if I find thirty there.
31 And he says, Behold, I beseech, I will to word to Adonay: Perhaps there be twenty found there. And he says, I ruin not for sake of twenty.
32 And he says, Oh Adonay, inflame not; and I word this time only: Perhaps ten be found there. And he says, I ruin not for sake of the ten.
