Genesis 18:6

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.

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.)

Abraham hastened . . . unto Sarah . . . make cakes upon the hearth—Bread is baked daily, no more than is required for family use, and always by the women, commonly the wife. It is a short process. Flour mixed with water is made into dough, and being rolled out into cakes, it is placed on the earthen floor, previously heated by a fire. The fire being removed, the cakes are laid on the ground, and being covered over with hot embers, are soon baked, and eaten the moment they are taken off.
