Genesis 18:1-8
1And the Lord appeared to him by the aoaks ▼▼Or terebinths
of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. 2He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. cWhen he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3and said, “O Lord, ▼▼Or My lord
if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. 4Let a elittle water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5while I bring a morsel of bread, that fyou may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on— gsince you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs ▼▼A seah was about 7 quarts or 7.3 liters
of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.” 7And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly. 8Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate. Hebrews 13:2
2 iDo not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby jsome have entertained angels unawares.
