1. Mosebok 18,8

The stranger and outcastGenerosity

6 Så skyndte Abraham seg inn i teltet til Sara og sa, “Skynd deg, tilbered tre mål fint mel, kna det, og lag noe brød.”

7 Deretter løp han til buskapen, valgte ut en mør og fin kalv, og ga den til en tjener, som skyndte seg å tilberede den.

Han tok ostemasse, melk, og kalven som var blitt tilberedt, og satte det frem for mennene. Mens de spiste, sto han nær dem under treet.

9 De spurte ham, “Hvor er din kone Sara?” Han svarte, “Der, i teltet.”

10 En av dem sa, “Jeg vil visselig komme tilbake til deg på denne tid neste år, og se, din kone Sara skal ha en sønn.” Sara lyttet ved inngangen til teltet, som var bak ham.
