Now ^(a)the Lord appeared to him by the ^[a](b)oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.

When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three ^(c)men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,

and said, "^[b]My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not ^[c]pass Your servant by.

Please let a little water be brought and ^(d)wash your feet, and ^[d]rest yourselves under the tree;

and I will ^[e](e)bring a piece of bread, that you may ^[f]refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have ^[g]visited your servant." And they said, "So do, as you have said."

So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "^[h]Quickly, prepare three ^[i]measures of fine flour, knead it and make bread cakes."

Abraham also ran to the herd, and took a tender and ^[j]choice calf and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.

He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree ^[k]as they ate.
