Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
-
So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”
-
Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
-
The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”
-
So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.
-
The young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
-
Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he hurried out to the man at the spring.
-
He had told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and a son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father.
-
As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.
-
But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept.
-
She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
-
When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
-
But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
-
So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver, and Benjamin also. They hurried down to Egypt and presented themselves to Joseph.
-
Deeply moved at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept there.
