Now Abraham doubts that there are thirty righteous people in Sodom. Yahweh said, Because the cry (zaaqa) of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous' (v. 20). Lectura del libro del Gnesis Gen 18, 20-32 En aquellos das, el Seor dijo a Abraham: "El clamor contra Sodoma y Gomorra es grande y su pecado es demasiado grave.

He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground (vv. Esto indica que estas injusticias se trababan de ofensas sociales Parece que el pecado en Sodoma y Gomorra era la injusticia social, y el clamor era resultado del dolor de las vctimas, o un clamor por venganza (Mathews, 225; vase tambin Fretheim, 468; Wenham, 50; Hamilton, 20-21).

But on the other hand, at some level, God remains mysterious. Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake' (v. 26).

Genesis 32:24-32 Comentario de Matthew Henry Vv. Si Dios perdona la ciudad por cuarenta y cinco justos, seguro que lo har por cuarenta.

Abraham, en su preocupacin por Lot y su familia (y otros justos que pueden vivir en estas ciudades) presenta una cuestin tica. God surely knows the truth about Sodom and Gomorrah, but addresses these words to Abraham to reassure him that God will not act hastily or without just cause.

Those theme of justice and righteousness becomes an important reason why Abraham intercedes the way he does. 23Abraham drew near, and said, Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? La reflexin del padre Adalberto. If God is God, and we are humans, how can we ultimately understand Gods nature and Gods ways? 33Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

Preaching and teaching from the prophets is already difficult. Archai (ISSN: 1984-249X), vol. Abraham boldly raises an ethical dilemma. As the narrative makes this shift, keep in mind the Lords question to Abraham (and indirectly to Sarah and to all of us who might giggle at the ridiculous promises of the Lord), Is there anything too extraordinary for the Lord? (Genesis 18:14a) With this question echoing from last weeks reading, we find ourselves en route to the emblem of sin and wickedness and to a whopper of an appeal from Abraham to the Lord. 2 Y aunque tuviera el don de profeca y conociera todos los misterios y toda la ciencia, y aunque tuviera tanta fe como para trasladar montaas, si no tengo caridad, no sera nada.
