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.
