After seeing off two of the men that were visiting Abraham the third who was God himself stuck around, and Abraham dared to stand up and question God about destroying the city of Sodom. He questioned whether God would destroy righteous people along with evil people. God reassure them that he wouldn’t.
We also discussed the importance of the number 10 and it’s legal significance and being the number of minimum required in order to engage in public and legal affairs. If there weren’t even 10 people it’s essentially saying that there’s not really anyone.
However, Abraham may or may not have still been curious what God would say in his evaluation whether Autumn was or wasn’t worthy of being destroyed. However, he knew that this very well could’ve been the case since he came straight out and asked God why he would do so. At the end, Abraham is silent and seems to trust God and his answer. He’s at least reassured that God wouldn’t destroy those who are truly good in a mass destruction. We also see there’s much similarity in the story of Sodom and the story of Noah. Even using the same language of destruction and wiping away.
