⁵ and I will get some bread for you so you can regain your strength. Then you may ·continue your journey [^Lpass by].”

The three men said, “That is fine. Do as you said.” [^CIn the ancient Near East, hospitality towards strangers was a very imporant value.]

⁶ Abraham hurried to the tent where Sarah was and said to her, “Hurry, ·prepare [^Ltake and knead] ·twenty quarts [^Lthree seahs] of fine flour, and make ·it into loaves of bread [^Lcakes].” ⁷ Then Abraham ran to his herd and took one of his ·best [^Ltender and good/choice] calves. He gave it to a servant, who hurried ·to kill it and to prepare it for food [^Lto prepare it].
