Genesis 18:2-8

2When he raised his eyes and looked up, behold, three men were standing [a little distance] from him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed down [with his face] to the ground,

3and Abraham said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass by your servant [without stopping to visit].

4Please let a little water be brought [by one of my servants] and [you may] wash your feet, and recline and rest comfortably under the tree.

5And I will bring a piece of bread to refresh and sustain you; after that you may go on, since you have come to your servant.” And they replied, “Do as you have said.”

6So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly, get ready three measures of fine meal, knead it and bake cakes.”

7Abraham also ran to the herd and brought a calf, tender and choice, and he gave it to the servant [to butcher], and he hurried to prepare it.

8Then he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before the men; and he stood beside them under the tree while they ate.
