In Genesis 18:31, Abraham again approaches God with humble persistence, continuing the same dialogue initiated by his 'dust and ashes' confession.

Genesis 2:7 is the origin of Abraham's 'dust' language — God formed the first human from the dust of the ground, grounding his humility in creation itself.
