1 Later, the Lord again appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre. Abraham was sitting at the entrance of his tent during the hottest part of the day.
2 He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When Abraham saw them, he ran from his tent to meet them. He bowed facedown on the ground before them
3 and said, “Sir, if you think well of me, please stay awhile with me, your servant.
4 I will bring some water so all of you can wash your feet. You may rest under the tree,
5 and I will get some bread for you so you can regain your strength. Then you may continue your journey.”The three men said, “That is fine. Do as you said.”
6 Abraham hurried to the tent where Sarah was and said to her, “Hurry, prepare twenty quarts of fine flour, and make it into loaves of bread.”
7 Then Abraham ran to his herd and took one of his best calves. He gave it to a servant, who hurried to kill it and to prepare it for food.
