1. Later, the Lord again appeared to Abraham near the oak trees of Mamre. It was the hottest part of the day, and Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent.
2. He looked up and saw three men standing in front of him. When he saw the men, he ran to them and bowed before them.
3. Abraham said, “Sirs, please stay a while with me, your servant.
4. I will bring some water to wash your feet. You can rest under the trees.
5. I will get some food for you, and you can eat as much as you want. Then you can continue your journey.” The three men said, “Do as you wish.”
6. Abraham hurried to the tent. He said to Sarah, “Quickly, prepare enough flour for three loaves of bread.”
7. Then Abraham ran to his cattle. He took his best young calf and gave it to the servant there. He told the servant to quickly kill the calf and prepare it for food.
8. Abraham brought the meat and some milk and cheese and set them down in front of the three men. Then he stood near the men, ready to serve them while they sat under the tree and ate.
