What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I God says to Abraham I've heard terrible things about Sodom and Gomorrah I'm going to make an investigation and if what I have heard is true this is very funny for guys to talk like that we'll get back to that then I'm going to destroy the whole place that's what he says favorite an Abraham response I want to look at now maybe efforts little back to some of the prior peterborough okay now is how Abraham response this is verses 23 24 and 25 let's read through them Abram came forward and said will you also stamp out the righteous along with a wicked what if this should be 50 righteous people in the midst of the city would you still stamp it out rather than spare the place for the sake of the 50 righteous people within it it would be sacrilege to you sacrilege means against your holy nature to do such a thing to bring death upon the righteous along with the wicked so the righteous will be like the Wicked it would be sacrilege to shall the judge of all the earth not do justice there's a lot of material there and there's a considerable amount of complexity there I want you to read through it carefully pay attention exactly what's being said and tell me what is Abraham asking for okay when you say when he says if there are 50 righteous people spare the place so you're saying from this what he's asking for is that because there are 50 righteous people there or if they're 50
