הַ⁠אַ֣ף תִּסְפֶּ֔ה

?,indeed sweep_away

Abraham uses a rhetorical question here to express his strong feelings and concern about what Yahweh told him. Consider whether or not it is clear and natural to use a rhetorical question here in your language. Make sure it does not sound like Abraham is angry or being rude. See how you translated a similar idiom (“wipe away”) in Gen 6:7. Alternate translation: “Would you indeed wipe out” or “Surely you would not destroy”

Alternate translation: “together with” or “when you destroy”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

רָשָֽׁע

The way you translate this rhetorical question will determine what punctuation mark you end this sentence with. If you use an exclamation point here, make sure it does not sound like Abraham was angry, shouting, or being disrespectful. Alternate translation: “the wicked people there” or “the people there who are evil” or “the wicked people there, would you?”
