All four "men" move somewhere else in v. 18, though, so the (WDNW in v. 22 cannot simply mean that Abraham was still standing in the same place under the tree where he had been standing in v. 8.

Verse 22 continues the description in verse 8 where Abraham is described as standing under the tree. Thus verse 22 reads: ..." and Abraham still [ (wdnw - odenu ] stands...."

GENESIS 18:22
