Genesis 18:2-15

2And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and sawH7200, and behold, threeH7969 menH376 standingH5324 near him. And when he sawH7200 [them], he ranH7323 to meet them from the tent-door, and bowedH7812 himself to the earthH776,

3and saidH559, LordH113, if now I have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, passH5674 not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650.

4Let now a littleH4592 waterH4325 be fetched, that ye may washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselves under the treeH6086.

5And I will fetch a morselH6595 of breadH3899; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall passH5674 on; for thereforeH3651 have ye passedH5674 on towards your servantH5650. And they saidH559, SoH3651 do as thou hast saidH559.

6And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 to SarahH8283, and saidH559, KneadH3888 quicklyH4116 threeH7969 seahsH5429 of wheaten flourH5560, and makeH6213 cakesH5692.

7And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 to the herdH1241, and tookH3947 a calf tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.

8And he tookH3947 thick and sweet milkH2461, and the calf that he had dressed, and setH5414 [it] before them; and he stoodH5975 before them under the treeH6086, and they ateH398.

9And they saidH559 to him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, Behold, in the tentH168.

10And he saidH559, I will certainly returnH7725 to thee at [this] timeH6256 of the year, and behold, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 was listeningH8085 at the tent-door, which was behind him.

11Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 wereH1961 oldH2205 [and] advanced in age: it had ceasedH2308 to beH1961 with SarahH8283 after the manner of womenH802.

12And SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herself, sayingH559, After I amH1961 becomeH1961 oldH2204, shall I have pleasure, and my lordH113 oldH2204?

13And Jehovah saidH559 to AbrahamH85, WhyH4100 is this, that SarahH8283 laughs, sayingH559, Shall I indeedH637 bearH3205, when I am become oldH2204?

14Is [any] matterH1697 tooH6381 wonderfulH6381 for Jehovah? At the timeH6256 appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 to thee, at [this] timeH6256 of the year, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.

15And SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I did not laughH6711; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, No; but thou didst laughH6711.
