Genesis 18:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 18:8

6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.”

7 And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it.

8 So ^ahe took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.

9 Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” So he said, “Here, ^ain the tent.”

10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you ^aaccording to the time of life, and behold, ^bSarah your wife shall have a son.” (Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)

11 Now ^aAbraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and¹ Sarah ^bhad passed the age of childbearing.

Genesis 18:8-9

Let's just review those verses and look at what it says. First of all, the Lord appeared and Abraham saw Him with his eyes and what did He look like? He looked like a man. But it was the Lord because Abraham bowed down and worshipped Him and He didn't reject the worship.

In verse 4, Abraham said, "Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet." God has feet. "And I will bring a morsel of bread." We find that God took the bread and the meat and the three of them ate. He spoke, so He had a voice and He conversed with them. That's pretty clear.
