About this work

Author: Unknown

XII. And after Abraham had seen the place of judgment, the cloud

‹ Section 8 Section 9 ›

took

him

down

upon

the

firmament

below

,

and

Abraham

,

looking

down

upon

the

earth

,

saw

a

man

committing

adultery

with

a

wedded

woman

.

And

Abraham

turning

said

to

Michael

,

Seest

thou

this

wickedness

?

but

,

Lord

,

send

fire

from

heaven

to

consume

them

.

And

straightway

there

came

down

fire

and

consumed

them

,

for

the

Lord

had

said

to

Michael

,

Whatsoever

Abraham

shall

ask

thee

to

do

for

him

,

do

thou

.

Abraham

looked

again

,

and

saw

other

men

railing

at

their

companions

,

and

said

,

Let

the

earth

open

and

swallow

them

,

and

as

he

spoke

the

earth

swallowed

them

alive

.

Again

the

cloud

led

him

to

another

place

,

and

Abraham

saw

some

going

into

a

desert

place

to

commit

murder

,

and

he

said

to

Michael

,

Seest

thou

this

wickedness

?

but

let

wild

beasts

come

out

of

the

desert

,

and

tear

them

in

pieces

,

and

that

same

hour

wild

beasts

came

out

of

the

desert

,

and

devoured

them

.

Then

the

Lord

God

spoke

to

Michael

saying

,

Turn

away

Abraham

to

his

own

house

,

and

let

him

not

go

round

all

the

creation

that

I

have

made

,

because

he

has

no

compassion

on

sinners

,

but

I

have

compassion

on

sinners

that

they

may

turn

and

live

,

and

repent

of

their

sins

and

be

saved

.
