   We agree that no emendation is necessary here, contrary to Speiser, for 
example. And further, your comment on vs. 18 and 22  is well taken.
  But the text here, as elsewhere, lends itself to more than one 
interpretation. The scribe who wrote of Abraham as "still standing" must have 
had in mind a situation that involved standing, otherwise the "still" does 
not make sense, and v. 8 is  the closest.
  We simply cannot reconstruct the original texts from which the MT was put 
together. Notice the shift from the plural to the singular from v.9 to v.10 - 
wy)mrw  to wy)mr.

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.
