1Now 1the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to him by the 23oaksH436 of MamreH4471, while he was sittingH3427 at the tentH168 doorH6607 in the heatH2527 of the dayH3117. 2When he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, beholdH2009, threeH7969 4menH376 were standingH5324 oppositeH5921 him; and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 from the tentH168 doorH6607 to meetH7122 them and bowedH7812 himself to the earthH776, 3and saidH559, “5My LordH113, ifH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, pleaseH4994 do not 6passH5674 Your servantH5650 by. 4PleaseH4994 let a littleH4592 waterH4325 be broughtH3947 and 7washH7364 your feetH7272, and 8restH8172 yourselvesH8172 underH8478 the treeH6086; 5and I will 910bringH3947 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899, that you may 11refreshH5582 yourselvesH3820; afterH310 that you may goH5674 on, sinceH3588H5921H3651 you have 12visitedH5674 your servantH5650.” And they saidH559, “SoH3651 doH6213, as you have saidH1696.” 6So AbrahamH85 hurriedH4116 into the tentH168 to SarahH8283, and saidH559, “13QuicklyH4116, prepareH4116 threeH7969 14measuresH5429 of fineH5560 flourH7058H5560, kneadH3888 it and makeH6213 breadH5692 cakesH5692.” 7AbrahamH85 also ranH7323 to the herdH1241, and tookH3947 a tenderH7390 and 15choiceH2896 calfH1121H1241 and gaveH5414 it to the servantH5288, and he hurriedH4116 to prepareH6213 it. 8He tookH3947 curdsH2529 and milkH2461 and the calfH1121H1241 whichH834 he had preparedH6213, and placedH5414 it beforeH6440 them; and he was standingH5975 by them underH8478 the treeH6086 16as they ateH398.
9Then they saidH559 to him, “WhereH335 is SarahH8283 your wifeH802?” And he saidH559, “ThereH2009, in the tentH168.”
