And the Lord appeared unto him in the aplains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, bthree men stood by him: cand when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4 Let da little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5 And eI will fetch a morsel of bread, and †comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: ffor therefore †are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, †Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, gin the tent. 10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee haccording to the time of life; and, lo, iSarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now kAbraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah lafter the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah mlaughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my nlord being old also? 13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 14 oIs any thing too hard for the Lord? pAt the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 15 Then Sarah qdenied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
