Genesis 18:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 18:1

The Son of Promise

1 Then the Lord appeared to him by¹ the ^aterebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day.

2 ^aSo he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; ^band when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground,

3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant.

4 Please let ^aa little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
