Genesis 18:2-15
2and he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH376 stoodH5324 over against him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meet them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself to the earthH776, 3and saidH559, My lordH113, if now I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, passH5674 not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650: 4let now a littleH4592 waterH4325 be fetched, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselves under the treeH6086: 5and I will fetch a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and strengthen ye your heartH3820; after that ye shall passH5674 on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servantH5650. And they saidH559, SoH3651 do, as thou hast saidH559. 6And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, MakeH6213 ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measures of fineH5560 meal, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692. 7And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetched a calf tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto the servantH5288; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he tookH3947 butter, and milkH2461, and the calf which he had dressed, and setH5414 it before them; and he stoodH5975 by them under the treeH6086, and they did eatH398.
9And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, Behold, in the tentH168. 10And he saidH559, I will certainly returnH7725 unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind him. 11Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 wereH1961 oldH2205, and well stricken in age; it had ceasedH2308 to beH1961 with SarahH8283 after the manner of womenH802. 12And SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herself, sayingH559, After I amH1961 waxed oldH2204 shall I have pleasure, my lordH113 being oldH2204 also? 13And Jehovah saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Wherefore did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a surety bearH3205 a childH3205, who am oldH2204? 14Is anythingH1697 tooH6381 hardH6381 for Jehovah? At the set timeH6256 I will returnH7725 unto thee, when the season cometh round, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121. 15Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 not; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, Nay; but thou didst laughH6711.
