LEB(i)
26 And Yahweh said, "If I find fifty righteous in Sodom, in the midst of the city, then I will forgive the whole place for their sake."
27 Then Abraham answered and said, "Look, please, I was bold to speak to my Lord, but I am dust and ashes.
28 Perhaps the fifty righteous are lacking five—will you destroy the whole city on account of the five?" And he answered, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."
29 And ⌊once again he spoke⌋* to him and said, "What if* forty are found there?" And he answered, "I will not do it on account of the forty."
30 And he said, "Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if* thirty be found there?" And he answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."
31 And he said, "Please, now, I was bold to speak to my Lord. What if* twenty be found there?" And he answered, "I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty."
32 And he said, "Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak only once more. What if* ten are found there?" And he answered, "I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten."
