018:005 I will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart.
After that you may go your way, now that you have come to
your servant." They said, "Very well, do as you have said."
018:006 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly make
ready three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."
018:007 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf,
and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
018:008 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed,
and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree,
and they ate.
018:009 They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife?
He said, "See, in the tent."
018:010 He said, "I will certainly return to you when the season
comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son."
Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
018:011 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age.
It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
018:012 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old
will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
018:013 Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I
really bear a child, yet I am old?'
018:014 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return
to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."
018:015 Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn't laugh," for she was afraid.
He said, "No, but you did laugh."
018:016 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom.
Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
018:017 Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
018:018 seeing that Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation,
and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
