After I am waxed old&
731
02:
09:12,537 -- 02:09:14,704
& shall I have pleasure&
732
02:
09:14,997 -- 02:09:17,833
& my Lord being old also?
733
02:
09:18,126 -- 02:09:20,001
Wherefore did Sarah laugh?
734
02:
09:22,672 -- 02:09:25,215
Is anything too hard
for the Lord?
735
02:
09:25,508 -- 02:09:26,716
I laughed not!
736
02:
09:27,844 -- 02:09:29,219
Nay&
737
02:
09:30,221 -- 02:09:32,556
& but thou didst laugh.
738
02:
09:38,896 -- 02:09:43,066
At the time appointed
I will return unto thee&
739
02:
09:43,693 -- 02:09:46,945
& and Sarah
shall have a son.
740
02:
09:48,781 -- 02:09:50,532
We are going&
741
02:
09:52,034 -- 02:09:55,036
& towards the cities
of the plain.
742
02:
09:57,039 -- 02:09:59,458
I will bring you
on your way.
743
02:
10:18,060 -- 02:10:20,729
Shall I hide from Abraham&
744
02:
10:21,397 -- 02:10:24,566
& that thing which I do?
745
02:
10:27,278 -- 02:10:31,239
Because the cry of
Sodom and Gomorrah
is great&
746
02:
10:31,574 -- 02:10:34,951
& and because their sin
is very grievous&
747
02:
10:36,412 -- 02:10:38,455
& I will go down now&
748
02:
10:38,998 -- 02:10:41,333
& and see whether
they have done altogether&
749
02:
10:41,417 -- 02:10:43,251
& according to
the cry of it,
750
02:
10:43,336 -- 02:10:44,961
which has come unto me&
751
02:
10:46,422 -- 02:10:50,759
& and if not,
I will know.
752
02:
10:53,596 -- 02:10:58,433
Wilt thou also
destroy the righteous
with the wicked?
753
02:
11:01,187 -- 02:11:03,438
There may be 50 righteous&
754
02:
11:03,564 -- 02:11:08,443
& within the city.
Wilt thou not spare
the place for them?
755
02:
11:09,779 -- 02:11:13,532
Shall not the judge
of all the Earth&
756
02:
11:13,783 -- 02:11:15,450
& do right?
757
02:
11:17,620 -- 02:11:21,623
lf I find 50 righteous
within the city&
758
02:
11:22,667 -- 02:11:26,044
& I will spare
all the place
for their sakes.
759
02:
11:28,297 -- 02:11:31,466
What if there be
45 such men?
760
02:
11:32,134 -- 02:11:35,804
Or 30? Or even as few as 20?
761
02:
11:38,140 -- 02:11:40,475
I will not destroy it&
762
02:
11:40,893 -- 02:11:43,144
& for 20 s sake.
763
02:
11:47,817 -- 02:11:52,320
Let not the Lord be angry
and I will speak yet
but this once:
764
02:
11:53,823 -- 02:11:58,827
Peradventure,
10 shall be found there.

& that Sarah would have
given children suck?
813

27:19,206 -- 02:27:21,415
Who has put this
into thy heart?
821

Did you not see how
he went among us mocking?
822
02:
27:25,253 -- 02:27:30,216
I have a great fear
there will come such
division in our people.
823
02:
27:31,051 -- 02:27:33,385
Like Cain and Abel again.
824

I beg you, cast out this
bondwoman and her son!

What sayest thou?
He is my seed.

I will not cast out the lad,
nor thy bondwoman.

But God said
