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 lifted 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 favor 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 fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
