In these chapters f Genesis, it is spoken of Abram and his wife Sarai, and how they resproduce and become the kings of nations. Their names change, and they become Abraham and Sarah, and when Sarah can no longer bare children, Abraham lies with her made Hagar, and so Ishmael is born. Yet this is something I don't quite understand, how is it that Sarah tells Abraham that now that she cannot bare children, he should lay with her made, and when she finds out Hagar is pregnant, she send her away?
In chapter 19, two angels come and visit Lot, and the townspeople wnat to know them, but Lot refuses to let them be known. And so the men broke into his house. I believe this to mean that when one receives good, and does not want anyone else to know of this good, it somes to pass that the others come and take good away and then its as if you would have never known it, that is why good is supposed to be shared and the Lord's blessing must be known to all.
Yet I do not understan what is meant by this: chapter 18, verse 26: And the Lord said, if I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, I will spare all th place for their sakes. and for the rest of the chapter, Abraham tells God that there will be 45 righteus,. and then 40, and then 30, and the 20, and finally 10, and the Lord says he will not destroy the city for those ten peolpe's sake.
