Genesis 18:2–15

²And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men were standing near^b him. And he saw them and ran from the doorway of the tent to meet them. And he bowed down to the ground. ³And he said, “My lord, if I have found favor in your eyes do not pass by your servant. ⁴Let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest under the tree. ⁵And let me bring a piece of bread, then^c refresh yourselves.^d Afterward you can pass on, once^e you have passed by with your servant.” Then they said, “Do so as you have said.” ⁶Then^f Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and he said, “Quickly—make three seahs of fine flour for kneading and make bread cakes!” ⁷And Abraham ran to the cattle and took a calf,^g tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he made haste to prepare it. ⁸Then he took curds and milk, and the calf which he prepared, and set it before them. And he was standing by them under the tree while^h they ate. ⁹And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “Here, in the tent.” ¹⁰And heⁱ said, “I will certainly return to you in the spring,^j and look, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the doorway of the tent, and which was behind him. ¹¹Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age;^k the way of women^l had ceased to be for Sarah. ¹²So^m Sarah laughed to herself saying, “After I am worn out and my husband is old, shall this pleasure be to me?” ¹³Then Yahweh said to Abraham, “What is this that Sarah laughed, saying, ‘Is it indeed true that I will bear a child, now that I have grown old?’ ¹⁴Is anything too difficult for Yahweh? At the appointed time I will return to you in the springⁿ and Sarah shall have a son.” ¹⁵But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. He^o said, “No, but you did laugh.”
