Musar for Genesis 18:21
אֵֽרֲדָה־נָּ֣א וְאֶרְאֶ֔ה הַכְּצַעֲקָתָ֛הּ הַבָּ֥אָה אֵלַ֖י עָשׂ֣וּ ׀ כָּלָ֑ה וְאִם־לֹ֖א אֵדָֽעָה׃
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.’
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
ארדה נא ואראה . G–d uses this expression both here before finalizing the decree to destroy Sodom and before deciding how to deal with the generation that built the Tower of Babel. Rashi's comment on this is most appropriate.
