Genesis 18:2-8
2He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing in front of him. aWhen 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 clittle water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5while I bring a morsel of bread, that dyou may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on— esince 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. Genesis 19:1-3
God Rescues Lot
1The gtwo angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth 2and said, “My lords, hplease turn aside to your servant’s house and spend the night iand wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way.” They said, j“No; we will spend the night in the town square.” 3But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.1 Timothy 3:2
