them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,<br \/>\n<span id=\"3\" class=\"verse\">3<\/span> And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:<br \/>\n<span id=\"4\" class=\"verse\">4<\/span> Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:<br \/>\n<span id=\"5\" class=\"verse\">5<\/span> And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.<br \/>\n<span id=\"6\" class=\"verse\">6<\/span> And <span class=\"person\">Abraham<\/span> hastened into the tent unto <span class=\"person\">Sarah<\/span>, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.<br \/>\n<span id=\"7\" class=\"verse\">7<\/span> And <span class=\"person\">Abraham<\/span> ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.<br \/>\n<span id=\"8\" class=\"verse\">8<\/span> And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.<br \/>\n<span id=\"9\" class=\"verse\">9<\/span> And they said unto him, Where is <span class=\"person\">Sarah<\/span> thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.<br \/>\n<span id=\"10\" class=\"verse\">10<\/span> And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, <span class=\"person\">Sarah<\/span> thy wife shall have a son.

And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.<br \/>\n<span id=\"29\" class=\"verse\">29<\/span> And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty&#8217;s sake.<br \/>\n<span id=\"30\" class=\"verse\">30<\/span> And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.<br \/>\n<span id=\"31\" class=\"verse\">31<\/span> And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty&#8217;s sake.<br \/>\n<span id=\"32\" class=\"verse\">32<\/span> And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there.
