Avraham's Prayer for Sedom
Exegetical Approaches
Everyone Saved
Avraham wanted all of the people in Sedom to be saved. Commentators disagree, though, about whom Avraham was actively praying:
Righteous and Sinners Saved
Avraham was praying for everyone in Sedom to be saved, both the righteous and the sinners.
"הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה צַדִּיק עִם רָשָׁע"
"הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה וְלֹא תִשָּׂא לַמָּקוֹם"
Relationship between verses 23-25
Collective Punishment
What happened at the end?
Was Avraham's Prayer Accepted?
Was Lot Righteous?
Why does Hashem tell Avraham about Sedom?
Just Sinners Saved
Avraham was only praying for the sinners, being certain that Hashem would save the righteous even without his request.
