Genesis 18:23
“And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?”
KJV
Read in Genesis 18Meaning
Abraham draws near and asks whether God will indeed sweep away righteous people together with wicked people.
Read carefully
The question is intercession and moral appeal, not a claim that Abraham possesses all the facts about the city or can dictate the outcome.
Reflection
The verse models a concern that judgment not become indiscriminate, placing the fate of innocent people at the center of Abraham's plea.
