창세기 18:32 KRV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 18:23-33

23-33 Here is the first solemn prayer upon record in the Bible; and it is a prayer for the sparing of Sodom. Abraham prayed earnestly that Sodom might be spared, if but a few righteous persons should be found in it. Come and learn from Abraham what compassion we should feel for sinners, and how earnestly we should pray for them. We see here that the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Abraham, indeed, failed in his request for the whole place, but Lot was miraculously... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 18:23-33

Abraham's Intercession v. 23. And Abraham drew near and said, Wilt Thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? It was a holy boldness which Abraham here displayed, both in drawing near to the Lord until he stood face to face with Him, and in speaking as he did: Surely Thou wilt not sweep off the righteous with the godless! v. 24. Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? v. 25. That be... read more

Genesis ‘BECAUSE OF HIS IMPORTUNITY’ Gen_18:16 - Gen_18:33 . I The first verse of this chapter says that ‘the Lord appeared’ unto Abraham, and then proceeds to tell that ‘three men stood over against him,’ thus indicating that these were, collectively, the manifestation of Jehovah. Two of the three subsequently ‘went toward Sodom,’ and are called ‘angels’ in Gen_19:1 . One remained with Abraham, and is addressed by him as ‘Lord,’ but the three are similarly addressed in Gen_18:3 . The... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 18:16-33

Abraham Pleads for Sodom Genesis 18:16-33 Christ had visited Abraham’s tent, but He did more. He trusted him with His secrets, and led him almost unconsciously to a degree of faith and prayer that was far beyond what he had hitherto attained. Abraham seemed to be driving the Blessed One from point to point, but as a matter of fact, he was being drawn forward. It was so with the woman of Syrophenicia. God’s love and willingness to bless far exceeded Abraham’s faith, and when he had gone as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 18:1-33

This is the account of the sixth appearance of God to Abraham. In it four phases of relationship between God and Abraham are revealed. God visited Abraham and Abraham provided for Him. God bestowed on Abraham and Abraham received from Him. God communicated to Abraham and Abraham answered with the statement of a difficulty. God listened to Abraham and Abraham interceded with Him. The picture of Abraham providing for the supernatural Visitors is beautiful in its revelation of his love and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 18:17-33

The Prayer of Abraham for Lot Genesis 18:17-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The Lord appeared unto Abraham. As we approach this remarkable 18th chapter of Genesis we do not find the first time that the Lord ever appeared unto Abraham. The norm of Abraham's life was "walking with God." This constant fellowship with the Lord, made possible the special occasions where God came down and talked to Abraham as one talketh face to face. 2. The Lord appeared unto Abraham as he sat in his tent door. Had... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 18:23-33

Abraham Pleading for Sodom Genesis 18:23-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Here we have one of the Bible's most clarifying messages on prayer. We suggest several things in a general way. The sub-topics will discuss the Scripture study verse by verse. 1. The attitude of the one who approaches God. There is so much these days of almost arrogant and even flippant approach to God that we need to consider deeply this prayer approach of Abraham's. Mark several statements: (1) Abraham drew near (Genesis 18:23... read more

‘And he spoke to him yet again and said, “It may be that forty will be found there.” And he said, “I will not do it for forty’s sake.” And he said, “Oh, let not the Lord be angry and I will speak. It may be that there will be thirty found there.” And he said “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” And he said, “See, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. It may be that there will be twenty found there.” And he said, “I will not do it for the twenty’s sake.” And he said, “Oh let not... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 18:1-33

Genesis 12:1 to Genesis 25:18 . The Story of Abraham.— In this section the three main sources, J. E, P are present. Gunkel has given strong reasons for holding that J is here made up of two main sources, one connecting Abraham with Hebron, the other with Beersheba and the Negeb. The former associates Abraham with Lot. (For details, see ICC.) On the interpretation to be placed on the figures of Abraham and the patriarchs, see the Introduction. The interest, which has hitherto been diffused... read more
