4 Please let a little water be brought and (A)wash your feet, and [a]rest yourselves under the tree; 5 and let me [b](B)bring a piece of bread, that you may [c]refresh your hearts; after that you may pass on, since in such a manner you have passed by your servant.” And they said, “So you shall do, as you have said.” 6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “[d]Hurry, prepare [e]three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and make bread cakes.”
