Genesis 18:2-19

2and he liftH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, loH2009, threeH7969 menH376 stoodH5324 over againstH5921 him: and when he sawH7200 them, he ranH7323 to meetH7125 them from the tentH168 doorH6607, and bowedH7812 himselfH7812 to the earthH776,

3and saidH559, My lordH113, ifH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869, passH5674 notH408 awayH5674, I prayH4994 thee, from thy servantH5650:

4letH4994 nowH4994 a littleH4592 waterH4325 be fetched, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and restH8172 yourselves underH8478 the treeH6086:

5and I will fetch a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and comfort ye your heartH3820; afterH310 that ye shall passH5674 on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servantH5650. And they saidH559, SoH3651 doH6213, as thou hast saidH559.

6And AbrahamH85 hastenedH4116 intoH413 the tentH168 unto SarahH8283, and saidH559, MakeH6213 ready quicklyH4116 threeH7969 measuresH5429 of fineH5560 mealH7058, kneadH3888 it, and makeH6213 cakesH5692.

7And AbrahamH85 ranH7323 unto the herdH1241, and fetched a calfH1241 tenderH7390 and goodH2896, and gaveH5414 it unto the servantH5288; and he hasted to dress it.

8And he tookH3947 butterH2529, and milkH2461, and the calfH1241 whichH834 he had dressed, and setH5414 it beforeH6440 them; and he stoodH5975 by them underH8478 the treeH6086, and they didH6213 eatH398.

9And they saidH559 unto him, WhereH346 is SarahH8283 thy wifeH802? And he saidH559, BeholdH2009, in the tentH168.

10And he saidH559, I will certainlyH2009 returnH7725 unto thee when the seasonH6256 cometh round; and, loH2009, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall have a sonH1121. And SarahH8283 heardH8085 in the tentH168 doorH6607, whichH1931 was behindH310 him.

11NowH1961 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205, and well stricken in ageH3117; it had ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 afterH1961 the manner of womenH802.

12And SarahH8283 laughedH6711 withinH7130 herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH2204 shall I have pleasure, my lordH113 beingH1961 oldH2204 also?

13And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Wherefore didH4100 SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a surety bearH3205 a childH3205, whichH2088 am oldH2204?

14Is any thingH1697 tooH6381 hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the setH7725 time I will returnH7725 unto thee, when the seasonH6256 cometh round, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.

15Then SarahH8283 deniedH3584, sayingH559, I laughedH6711 notH3808; for sheH3588 was afraidH3372. And he saidH559, Nay; but thou didst laughH6711.

16And the menH376 roseH6965 upH6965 from thence, and lookedH8259 towardH5921 SodomH5467: and AbrahamH85 wentH1980 with them to bringH1980 them on the wayH1980.

17And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that whichH834 I doH6213;

18seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surelyH1961 becomeH1961 a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him?

19For I have knownH3045 him, to the endH310 that he may commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 afterH310 him, that they may keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH4941 and judgmentH4941; to the endH310 that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 uponH5921 AbrahamH85 that whichH834 he hath spokenH1696 of him.
