Yahweh Appears to Abraham

18 Then ^(A)Yahweh appeared to him by the ^[a](B)oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. ² And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three ^(C)men were standing nearby; he saw, and he ran from the tent door to meet them, and he bowed himself to the earth, ³ and he said, “^[b]My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not ^[c]pass Your servant by. ⁴ Please let a little water be brought and ^(D)wash your feet, and ^[d]rest yourselves under the tree; ⁵ and let me ^[e](E)bring a piece of bread, that you may ^[f]refresh your hearts; after that you may pass on, since in such a manner you have passed by your servant.” And they said, “So you shall do, as you have said.” ⁶ So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “^[g]Hurry, prepare ^[h]three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and make bread cakes.” ⁷ Abraham also ran to the herd and took a tender and ^[i]choice calf and gave it to his young man, and he hurried to prepare it. ⁸ Then 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, and they ate.
