Ha ganado la discusin o no? God has heard the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah presumably from those who have suffered at the hands of the residents of those cities perhaps also from those who have not been victimized but were offended by the immorality that they witnessed there. With a wonderful mixed metaphor, our passage captures the dynamics of Christian discipleship. These words righteousness and justice, which God charged Abraham with doing, are important to our text. Captulo 13 relata que Abram y Lot llegaron a ser lo suficientemente ricos y que por eso la tierra no poda darles para que habitasen juntos (13:6), entonces, acordaron en separarse. This gets expressed in pithy expressions that warn against putting God in a box or forgetting the distinction between the Creator and the creatures. As the three visitors depart, he accompanies them on their way. Seguramente esto no es lo que Abraham esperaba or. Dios cre todas las cosas por medio de l, y nada fue creado sin l. 24-25).

Ahora Abraham duda que haya treinta justos en Sodoma. In fact, Genesis 19 is not included in the Revised Common Lectionary, nor is Ezekiel 16, where verse 49 details Sodoms sin as arrogance, an abundance of food and ease without care of the poor and needy. Y apartronse de all los varones, y fueron hacia Sodoma: mas Abraham estaba an delante de Jehov (v. 22).

Now Abraham doubts that there are twenty righteous people in Sodom. Disregard of the poor and the orphan. Nos podemos imaginar lo que Jehov est a punto de hacer.

THE CONTEXT Chapter 13 reports that Abram and Lot became sufficiently affluent that "the land was not able to bear them, that they might live together" (13:6), so they agreed to separate. 1. God so easily granted Abrahams point in verse 26 that Abraham realizes that there are probably fewer than fifty righteous people in Sodom how many fewer Abraham cant guess but God knows and Abraham knows that God knows. He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground (vv.

The Lord asked, Will I hide from Abraham what I do, since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him? (18:17 18).

La pregunta de Abraham precede la entrega de la ley, que dir, no matars al inocente y justo; porque yo no justificar al impo (xodo 23:7). Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know.

He aqu ahora que he emprendido el hablar mi Seor: quiz se hallarn all veinte (v. 31). 12-14). C'est tout le problme de la solidarit, cette solidarit qui engendre la Prire. First, Abraham acknowledges that he is speaking to the Lord and that he knows his place. Si Abraham prie comme il le fait, c'est grce son intimit avec Dieu. Or, does God know that there are less than ten righteous in the city, and merely go along with Abrahams attempt at bargaining for some other reason? One of them, identified by the text as the Lord (18:13), reiterated the earlier promise that Sarah would have a son (18:10), at which Sarah laughed (18:12). 33Y fuse Jehov, luego que acab de hablar Abraham: y Abraham se volvi su lugar.

Acaso destruirs por cinco toda la ciudad? C'est ici que ce rcit nous concerne et nous interpelle en particulier; et qu'il nous pose quelques questions essentielles relatives notre prochain. 02 Abraham leva les yeux, et il vit trois hommes qui se tenaient debout prs de lui. In verse 24, Abraham repeats that, and then in verse 25 he uses another exclamation, halilah, often translated as far be it, or never. These minor words of Abraham point to the way that Abraham understands God to operate within a certain framework, that God would surely not destroy righteous or refuse to forgive. What if ten are found there? (v. 32a). But the repetition of the particle, abur, for the sake of, affirms that God is a God who acts for the sake of, on behalf of others. Nous croyons en lui, le juste. Abraham asks, Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? (v.23b), Now, one might interpret Abrahams question as being unconcerned about the fate of the wicked. Inhospitality. The Lord decides that enough is enough and goes his way. 12-14). Pero Abraham ahora no est tan seguro de si mismo como antes. Quiz hay cincuenta justos dentro de la ciudad: destruirs tambin y no perdonars al lugar por cincuenta justos que estn dentro de l? (v. 24). Es que el juez de toda la tierra no va a hacer justicia? If so, that would suggest that Abrahams conversation with God has no effect whatsoever on God, and God is less than honest in how God speaks to him. What if there are thirty found there? He said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there., 31He said, See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. Lejos de ti el hacer tal, que hagas morir al justo con el impo y que sea el justo tratado como el impo; nunca tal hagas. Of course the narrative continues into Genesis 19, wherein it does not turn out so well for Sodom and Gomorrah.5 Gods judgment rains down upon Sodom. Yo te ruego que te apartes de m. Si existen personas justas en Sodoma y Gomorra, puede Dios justificar imponerles el mismo castigo a ellos que a los malos? 2 Levant los ojos y vio a tres hombres de pie frente a l.

However, Lots action reflects the requirement in that culture for a host to protect his guests at all costs. 2 Rev. Luke, more than any other evangelist, demonstrates the importance of prayer in Jesus life and ministry (3:21, 5:16, 6:12, 9:18, 9:28, 10:21-22, 11:1, 22:41-4, 23:46). El libro del Gnesis se divide en dos grandes partes. No lo har si hallare all treinta (v. 30). Lot does everything that he can to protect the two men, even offering his two virgin daughters for the mens pleasure (v. 8) an idea that we can barely imagine. 29 Todava volvi a hablarle Abrahn diciendo: No se enfade mi Seor si sigo hablando; quiz se encuentren all treinta. 3 Y aunque repartiera todos mis bienes, y entregara mi cuerpo para dejarme quemar, si no tengo caridad, de nada me aprovechara. Will God really do such a thing? The tension ought not be erased, lest Gods justice be undermined. Another example of the tension between certainty and mystery is in Gods own word, if, repeated in verse 26 (if I find fifty), verse 28 (if I find forty-five) and verse 30 (if I find thirty).2Could it be that God genuinely does not know how many righteous people are in the city? Washing the feet is customary in those hot climates, where only sandals are worn. Su gran anhelo lo llevo a tomar un camino equivocado para conseguirlo. The Hebrew interrogative with the particle haap can either be translated as indeed, or really, either one suggesting that Abraham is incredulous at this possibility.

Still, one of the benefits of the lectionary selection beginning with verse 20 is how it illustrates that prayer can start with Gods words, and not only need to begin with human initiative. May that be far from you. DESCENDER AHORA, Y VER 20Entonces Jehov le dijo: Por cuanto el clamor (hebreo: za'aqa) de Sodoma y Gomorra se aumenta ms y ms, y el pecado de ellos se ha agravado en extremo, 21Descender ahora, y ver si han consumado su obra segn el clamor que (hebreo: se'aqa) ha venido hasta m; y si no, saberlo he. 30 ) other two visitors, i.e., the two angels / messengers of Yhwh,3 depart Sodom!
