1. Mosebok 18,2

1 Herren viste seg for Abraham ved Mamres eiketrær, mens han satt ved inngangen til teltet sitt i dagens hete.

Abraham løftet blikket og så tre menn stå i nærheten. Da han så dem, løp han fra inngangen til teltet for å møte dem og bøyde seg dypt mot jorden.

3 Han sa: “Min Herre, hvis jeg har funnet nåde for dine øyne, vennligst gå ikke forbi din tjener.

4 La det bli hentet litt vann, så dere kan vaske føttene og hvile under treet.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
