Genesis 18:1-10 ▼

1 And YHWH appeared to him by the Oaks of Mamre, and he was sitting in the entrance of the tent in the heat of the day.

2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him. And he saw them, and he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and he bowed himself to the earth.

3 And he said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your eyes, please, do not pass on by Your servant.

4 Please let a little water be brought, and wash your? feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

5 And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your? hearts; afterward, you? may pass on, for upon thus you? have come to your? servant.” And they said, “Yes, you may do as you have said.”

6 And Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly take three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”

7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and he took a tender and good son of the herd and gave it to the young man, and he hurried to prepare it.

8 And he took butter and milk and the son of the herd that he had prepared, and he set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.

9 And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “Behold, in the tent.”

10 And He said, “I will surely return to you according to the time of life; and behold—a son to Sarah, your wife.” And Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, and it was behind him.
