¶ And Abraham tooke Ishmael his sonne, and all that were borne in his house, and all that were bought with his money, euery male, among the men of Abrahams house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskinne, in the selfesame day, as God had said vnto him.

And all the men of his house, borne in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken in age: and it ceased to be with Sarah after the maner of women.

¶ And the men rose vp from thence, and looked toward Sodome: and Abraham went with them, to bring them on the way.

¶ And Abraham drew neere, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

That be farre from thee, to do after this maner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be farre from thee: Shall not the Iudge of all the earth doe right?

And the LORD went his way, assoone as hee had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned vnto his place.

¶ And there came two Angels to Sodome at euen, and Lot sate in the gate of Sodome: and Lot seeing them, rose vp to meet them, and he bowed himselfe with his face toward the ground.

And they said, Stand backe. And they said againe, This one fellow came in to soiourne, and he will needs bee a Iudge: Now wil we deale worse with thee, then with them. And they pressed sore vpon the man, euen Lot, and came neere to breake the doore.

And they smote the men that were at the doore of the house, with blindnes, both small and great: so that they wearied themselues to finde the doore.
