Let there be fetched, I pray thee a little water, and bathe ye your feet, - and rest yourselves under the tree. And let me fetch a morsel of bread, and stay ye your heart, Afterwards, ye may pass on, For on this account, have ye passed by, over against your servant. 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. Now Sarah, was hearkening at the opening of the tent, it, being behind him. But Abraham and Sarah, were old, far gone in days, - it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. So then Sarah laughed within herself, saying: After I am past age, hath there come to me pleasure, my lord, also being old? And Yahweh said unto Abraham, - Wherefore now did Sarah laugh saying. Can it really and truly be that I should bear, seeing that have become old? Is anything, too wonderful for Yahweh? At the appointed time, I will return unto thee, at the quickening season and Sarah, shall have a son. And Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not, For she was afraid. And he said - Nay! but thou didst laugh! And the men rose up from hence, and looked out over the face of Sodom, - Abraham also going with them to set them on their way. Now, Yahweh, had said, - Am I going to hide from Abraham what I do, when, Abraham, shall surely become, a great and mighty nation, - and all the nations of the earth, shall be blessed in him? For I have become his intimate friend, To the end that he may command his sons and his house after him, so shall they keep the way of Yahweh, by doing righteousness and justice. To the end that Yahweh may bring in for Abraham, what he hath spoken concerning him. So Yahweh said, The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah, because it hath become great, - And their sin, because it hath become exceeding grievous, Let me go down, pray, and let me behold, whether according to their outcry which hath come in unto me, they have done altogether, And if not.
