5. And let me bring a piece of bread, then refresh yourselves. Afterward you can pass on, once you have passed by with your servant.” Then they said, “Do so as you have said.”
6. Then Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and he said, “Quickly—make three seahs of fine flour for kneading and make bread cakes!”
7. And Abraham ran to the cattle and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he made haste to prepare it.
8. Then he took curds and milk, and the calf which he prepared, and set it before them. And he was standing by them under the tree while they ate.
9. And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” And he said, “Here, in the tent.”
10. And he said, “I will certainly return to you in the spring, and look, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the doorway of the tent, and which was behind him.
11. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; the way of women had ceased to be for Sarah.
12. So Sarah laughed to herself saying, “After I am worn out and my husband is old, shall this pleasure be to me?”
13. Then Yahweh said to Abraham, “What is this that Sarah laughed, saying, ‘Is it indeed true that I will bear a child, now that I have grown old?’
14. Is anything too difficult for Yahweh? At the appointed time I will return to you in the spring and Sarah shall have a son.”
15. But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
16. Then the men set out from there, and they looked down upon Sodom. And Abraham went with them to send them on their way.
17. Then Yahweh said, “Shall I conceal from Abraham what I am going to do?
18. Abraham will surely become a great and strong nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed on account of him.
19. For I have chosen him, that he will command his children and his household after him that they will keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham that which he said to him.”
