Genesis 18:2-8

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

3and said, “My lord, if I have found favor with you, please do not go on past your servant.

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

5I will bring a bit of bread so that you may strengthen yourselves. This is why you have passed your servant’s way. Later, you can continue on.” “Yes,” they replied, “do as you have said.”

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

7Abraham ran to the herd and got a tender, choice calf. He gave it to a young man, who hurried to prepare it.

8Then Abraham took curds and milk, as well as the calf that he had prepared, and set them before the men. He served them as they ate under the tree.
