Genesis 18:33

The Message

When God finished talking with Abraham, he left. And Abraham went home.

See the chapter Copy

God finished speaking with Abraham and left.

When the men got up to leave, they set off for Sodom. Abraham walked with them to say good-bye.

The men set out for Sodom, but Abraham stood in God’s path, blocking his way.

When they heard the sound of God strolling in the garden in the evening breeze, the Man and his Wife hid in the trees of the garden, hid from God.

And Jacob went his way. Angels of God met him. When Jacob saw them he said, “Oh! God’s Camp!” And he named the place Mahanaim (Campground).

The man said, “Let me go; it’s daybreak.” Jacob said, “I’m not letting you go ’til you bless me.”

And then God was gone, ascended from the place where he had spoken with him.

The anger of God blazed out against them. And then he left.
