The self same day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son. And
all the men in his house, whether they were born in his house or
bought with money (though they were strangers) were circumcised
with him.
Chapter .xviij.
And the LORD appeared unto him in the oak grove of Mamre as he sat
in his tent door in the heat of the day. And he lift up his eyes
and looked: and lo, three men stood not far from him. And when he
saw them, he ran against {to meet} them from the tent door, and
fell to the ground and said: Lord {LORde} if I have found favour
in thy sight, go not by thy servant. Let a little water be
fetched, and wash your feet, and rest your selves under the tree:
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, to comfort your hearts withal.
And then go your ways, for even therefore are ye come to your
servant. And they answered: Do even so as thou hast said. And
Abraham went a pace into his tent unto Sara and said: make ready
at once three pecks of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. And
Abraham ran unto his beasts and fetched a calf that was tender and
good, and gave it unto a young man which made it ready at once.
And he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared,
and set it before them, and stood himself by them under the tree:
and they ate.
