The Lord appeared to Abraham
near the great trees of Mamre
while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent
in the heat of the day.
Abraham looked up
and saw three men standing nearby.
When he saw them,
he hurried from the entrance of his tent
to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
He said, "If I have found favor in your eye, O Lord,
do not pass your servant by.
Let a little water be brought,
and then you may all wash your feet
and rest under this tree.
Let me get you something to eat,
so you can be refreshed and then go on your way --
now that you have come to your servant."
"Very well," they answered, "do as you say."
So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah.
"Quick," he said,
"get three seahs of fine flour and knead it
and bake some bread."
Then he ran to the heard and selected
a choice, tender calf
and gave it to a servant,
who hurried to prepare it.
He then brought some curds and milk
and the calf that had been prepared,
and set these before them.
While thy ate,
he stood near them under a tree.
(Genesis 18:1-8)
