LORD
appeared
unto him in the
plains

Mamre

sat
in the
tent
door
in the
heat
of the
day
;
strkjv@Genesis:18:2
@ And he lift
up
his
eyes
and
looked
, and, lo,
three
men
stood
by him: and when he
saw
them, he
ran
to
meet
them from the
tent
door
, and
bowed
himself toward the
ground
,
strkjv@Genesis:18:3
@ And
said
, My
Lord
, if now I have
found
favour
in thy
sight
, pass not
away
, I pray thee, from thy
servant
:
strkjv@Genesis:18:4
@ Let a
little
water
, I pray
you
, be
fetched
, and
wash
your
feet

yourselves
under the
tree

strkjv@Genesis:18:5
@ And I will
fetch
a
morsel
of
bread
, and comfort
ye
your
hearts
; after
that
ye shall pass
on
: for therefore are ye
come
to
your
servant
. And they
said
, So
do
, as thou hast
said

@ And
Abraham
hastened
into the
tent
unto
Sarah
, and
said
, Make ready
quickly
three
measures
of
fine
meal
,
knead
it, and
make
cakes
upon the
hearth
.
strkjv@Genesis:18:7
@ And
Abraham
ran
unto the
herd
, and
fetcht
a
calf
tender
and
good
, and
gave
it unto a young
man
; and he
hasted
to
dress
it.
strkjv@Genesis:18:8

took
butter

set
it before

by them under the

eat

said
unto him,
Where
is
Sarah
thy
wife

tent

strkjv@Genesis:18:10
@ And he
said
, I will
certainly
return
unto thee according to the
time
of
life

Sarah
thy
wife
shall have a
son

Sarah
heard
it in the
tent
door
, which was behind
him

strkjv@Genesis:18:11
@ Now
Abraham

were
old

stricken

ceased
to be with
Sarah
after the
manner
of
women

@ Therefore
Sarah
laughed
within
herself
,
saying
,
After
I am waxed
old
shall I have
pleasure
, my
lord
being old
also
?
strkjv@Genesis:18:13
@ And the
LORD
said
unto
Abraham
,
Wherefore
did
Sarah
laugh

saying

surety
bear
a child,
which
am
old

any

too
hard
for the

appointed
I will
return
unto thee, according to the
time

life

Sarah
shall have a
son

@ Then
Sarah
denied
,
saying

laughed
not; for she was
afraid

said
,
Nay
; but thou didst
laugh

up
from thence, and

went
with them to bring them on the
way

@ And the
LORD
said
, Shall I
hide
from
Abraham
that thing
which
I
do
;
strkjv@Genesis:18:18
@ Seeing that
Abraham
shall surely become a
great

do
justice

bring
upon

that which he hath
spoken

cry

Sodom

great

sin
is
very
grievous

strkjv@Genesis:18:21
@ I will go
down
now, and
see
whether they have
done
altogether
according to the

unto me; and if not, I will
know

strkjv@Genesis:18:22

be
fifty
righteous

fifty

far
from thee to

slay

wicked

do
right

fifty

answered

dust

@ Peradventure there shall

five

fifty

five

there
forty

five

it.

@ And he
spake
unto him yet
again
