1: And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2: And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

3: And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

4: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

5: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

6: And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

7: And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

8: And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

9: And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10: And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
