2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. He quickly left the entrance to his tent to meet them. He bowed low to the ground.
3 He said, "My lord, if you are pleased with me, don't pass me by.
4 Let a little water be brought. All of you can wash your feet and rest under this tree.
5 "Let me get you something to eat to give you strength. Then you can go on your way. I want to do this for you now that you have come to me." "All right," they answered. "Go ahead and do it."
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick!" he said. "Get about half a bushel of fine flour. Mix it and bake some bread."
7 Then he ran to the herd. He picked out a choice, tender calf. He gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
8 Then he brought some butter and milk and the calf that had been prepared. He served them to the three men. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
