Genesis 18:29
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
And he spake unto him yet again, and said,.... Being encouraged by such a gracious answer:
Peradventure there shall be forty found there; forty righteous persons; and, from preceding passages, it must be supplied,
"wilt thou destroy and not spare the place for their sakes?''
And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake; but spare them for their sake.
