Genesis Chapter 18:16-33, Correcting the Masoretic Text, Highlighting God's Justice and Mercy in Response to the Crimes of Sodom

from The Bible Message without Patriarchy · host Awake Deborah

In this podcast episode, we read Genesis 18:16-33 from the Common English Bible. We identify a problem with some English translations that are based on a scribal notation in the Masoretic Text. The Masoretes embraced oral traditions that rejected Jesus as the Messiah, and also excluded women from leadership. After correcting the assumptions of the Masoretic scribes, we then focus on the actual meaning of this passage: God balances justice with mercy, as He considers the crimes of Sodom.
