Genesis 18:1-7 ▼

1 The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day.

2 He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground.

3 He said, “My lord, if I find favor with you, do not pass by your servant.

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

5 Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.”

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Make ready quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes.”

7 Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it.
