4 Please let a little water be brought and (A)wash [a]your feet, and make yourselves comfortable under the tree; 5 and I will [b](B)bring a piece of bread, so that you may [c]refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have [d]visited your servant.” And they said, “So do as you have said.” 6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “[e]Quickly, prepare three [f]measures of fine flour, knead it, and make bread cakes.”
