Genesis 18:1-7 ▼

1 The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oak of Mamre, as he sat in the entrance of his tent, while the day was growing hot.

2 Looking up, he saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them; and bowing to the ground,

3 he said: “Sir, if it please you, do not go on past your servant.

4 Let some water be brought, that you may bathe your feet, and then rest under the tree.

5 Now that you have come to your servant, let me bring you a little food, that you may refresh yourselves; and afterward you may go on your way.” “Very well,” they replied, “do as you have said.”

6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick, three measures of bran flour! Knead it and make bread.”

7 He ran to the herd, picked out a tender, choice calf, and gave it to a servant, who quickly prepared it.
