Genesis 18:1-8 ▼

1 Then Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.

2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing nearby; he saw, and he ran from the tent door to meet them, and he bowed himself to the earth,

3 and he said, “My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by.

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

5 and let me bring a piece of bread, that you may refresh your hearts; after that you may pass on, since in such a manner you have passed by your servant.” And they said, “So you shall do, as you have said.”

6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Hurry, prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and make bread cakes.”

7 Abraham also ran to the herd and took a tender and choice calf and gave it to his young man, and he hurried to prepare it.

8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree, and they ate.
