And they said, Thus, shalt thou do as thou hast spoken. So Abraham hastened towards the tent unto Sarah, - and said, Hasten thou three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make hearth-cakes. And unto the herd, ran Abraham, - and took a calf tender and good and gave unto the young man, and he hastened to make it ready. And he took butter and milk and the calf that he had made ready, and set before them, - while, he, was standing near them under the tree, they did eat. And they said unto him, As to Sarah thy wife -- And he said Lo! she is in the tent. And he said, I will, surely return, unto thee at the quickening season, - and lo! a son for Sarah thy wife.
