New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 18
¹ Now the Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.
² When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,
³ and said, "My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by.
⁴ Please let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree;
⁵ and I will bring a piece of bread, that you may refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your servant." And they said, "So do, as you have said."
⁶ So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, prepare three measures of fine flour, knead it and make bread cakes."
⁷ Abraham also ran to the herd, and took a tender and choice calf and gave it to the servant, and he hurried to prepare it.
⁸ He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate.
⁹ Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" And he said, "There, in the tent."
¹⁰ He said, "I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him.
¹¹ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing.
