Genesis 18:1–8

1  And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. 2  And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth, 3  and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. 4  Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5  And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said. 6  And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes. 7  And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave it to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it. 8  And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.
