⁴ Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:

⁵ And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.

⁶ Then Abraham went quickly into the tent, and said to Sarah, Get three measures of meal straight away and make cakes.

⁷ And running to the herd, he took a young ox, soft and fat, and gave it to the servant and he quickly made it ready;

⁸ And he took butter and milk and the young ox which he had made ready and put it before them, waiting by them under the tree while they took food.

¹⁹ But we have dry grass and food for our asses, as well as bread and wine for me, and for the woman, and for the young man with us: we have no need of anything.

²⁰ And the old man said, Peace be with you; let all your needs be my care; only do not take your rest in the street.

²¹ So he took them into his house and gave the asses food; and after washing their feet they took food and drink.

⁸ But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.

⁹ Keep open house for all with a glad heart;
