Genesis 18:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that (A)you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—(B)since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs[a] of fine flour! Knead it, and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly.
