2When he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, beholdH2009, threeH7969 1menH376 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, “2My LordH113, ifH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, pleaseH4994 do not 3passH5674 Your servantH5650 by. 4PleaseH4994 let a littleH4592 waterH4325 be broughtH3947 and 4washH7364 your feetH7272, and 5restH8172 yourselvesH8172 underH8478 the treeH6086; 5and I will 67bringH3947 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899, that you may 8refreshH5582 yourselvesH3820; afterH310 that you may goH5674 on, sinceH3588H5921H3651 you have 9visitedH5674 your servantH5650.” And they saidH559, “SoH3651 doH6213, as you have saidH1696.” 6So AbrahamH85 hurriedH4116 into the tentH168 to SarahH8283, and saidH559, “10QuicklyH4116, prepareH4116 threeH7969 11measuresH5429 of fineH5560 flourH7058H5560, kneadH3888 it and makeH6213 breadH5692 cakesH5692.” 7AbrahamH85 also ranH7323 to the herdH1241, and tookH3947 a tenderH7390 and 12choiceH2896 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 13as they ateH398.
