Genesis 18 [Context] [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 1. |
And the LORD appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; |
| 2. |
And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, |
| 3. |
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: |
| 4. |
Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: |
| 5. |
And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. |
| 6. |
And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. |
| 7. |
And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man; and he hasted to dress it. |
| 8. |
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate. |
| 9. |
And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. |
| 10. |
And he said, I will certainly return to thee according to the time of life; and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. |
| 11. |
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and far advanced in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. |
| 12. |
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? |
| 13. |
And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear a child, who am old? |
| 14. |
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. |
| 15. |
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. |
