Genesis 18:2-15
2And he lift upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, lo, threeH7969 menH582 stoodH5324 by him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himself toward the groundH776, 3And saidH559, My LordH136, if now I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, pass not awayH5674, I pray thee, from thy servantH5650: 4Let a littleH4592 waterH4325, I pray youH4994, be fetchedH3947, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and rest yourselvesH8172 under the treeH6086: 5And I will fetchH3947 a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort yeH5582 your heartsH3820; after thatH310 ye shall pass onH5674: for therefore are ye comeH5674 toH5921 your servantH5650. And they saidH1696, So doH6213, as thou hast saidH559.12 6And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 into the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, Make ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692 upon the hearthH6213.3 7And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetchtH3947 a calfH1241H1121 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto a young manH5288; and he hastedH4116 to dressH6213 it. 8And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1241H1121 which he had dressedH6213, and setH5414 it before themH6440; 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 certainlyH7725 returnH7725 unto thee according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416; and, lo, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 it in the tentH168 doorH6607, which was behind himH310. 11Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802. 12Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204? 13And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 a child, whichH589 am oldH2204? 14IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for YhwhH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121. 15Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 not; for she was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, NayH3808; but thou didst laughH6711.
