ταῦτα δὲ τὸν ἱκέτην ἑαυτοῦ λόγον οὐκ ἀποστραφεὶς εἴωθε δωρεῖσθαι· λέγεται γὰρ ἑτέρωθι Μωυσέως ἱκετεύσαντος· „ἵλεως αὐτοῖς εἰμι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου“ (Num. 14, 20)· τοῦτο δέ, ὡς ἔοικεν, ἰσοδυναμεῖ τῷ „ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς.“ οὗ χάριν καὶ ὁ σοφὸς Ἀβραὰμ πεπειραμένος τῆς ἐν ἅπασι τοῦ θεοῦ χρηστότητος πεπίστευκεν ὅτι, κἂν πάντα τὰ ἄλλα ἀφανισθῇ, μικρὸν δέ τι λείψανον ἀρετῆς ὥσπερ ἐμπύρευμα διασῴζηται, διὰ τὸ βραχὺ τοῦτο κἀκεῖνα οἰκτείρει, ὡς πεπτωκότα ἐγείρειν καὶ τεθνηκότα ζωπυρεῖν (Gen. 18, 24 sqq.).
