Genesis 18:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 18:3

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.

5 And ^aI will bring a morsel of bread, that ^byou may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, ^cinasmuch as you have come to your servant.” They said, “Do as you have said.”

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.
