The language of ivrit ( עברית ) Genesis 18, Video #6
Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 18:23-26
Here it is today. The city believed to be Sodom. We are reading about the visitors that left Abraham and headed toward Sodom to destroy it.
They were not in armored vehicles, just three men walking toward the city. They must have appeared fearsome because as soon as they left, Abraham started to plead for the lives of the people there, among whom lived Lot.
He asks, "But what if there were to be found fifty who are righteous, would you still destroy it?"
God promised him that if fifty tsadikim (righteous) were found, he would spare all of the place for their sake.

Thanks for watching.
I imagine how Sodom will have been terrible then for God to send three angels to destroy thay city when 1 angel is enough to make that job done.
That really means their iniquity is really high and have reach the highest level.
May I not encounter God wrath
God bless you. I am Muslim and interested in your religious teaching. We are one 🙏🏼
Here’s a spiritual poem of mine that I hope you might appreciate:
under a whirling skirt of sky
streaming light and stars
groping for that tremendous hem
gingerly over quicksand
as though steadied
beneath some tongue and dissolving
not the absence of sound
but the presence of silence
or, as if transfixed
by a gaze, stern-serene
surveying a dream
foreign-familiar
incorruptible starting point
inviolable horizon
where eye and mind are free
to meditate perfection
there, begin to uncover
buried in dust and disinterest
the immutable letter
(first of the Arabic alphabet) Alef
