Genesis 18:17
“And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;”
KJV
Read in Genesis 18Meaning
The LORD raises the question of whether the coming action concerning Sodom should be hidden from Abraham.
Read carefully
This is narrative portrayal of deliberation and relationship; it should not be reduced to a technical statement about the limits of divine knowledge.
Reflection
The disclosure that follows gives Abraham responsibility to hear, understand, and respond rather than remain a detached observer.
