Commentary on Genesis John Calvin
Chapter 18
Genesis 18:1-33
1. And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
1. Deinde visus est illi Jehova in Querceto Mamre, quum ipse sederet in ostio tabernaculi, quando incalescebat dies.
2. And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
2. Et elevavit oculos suos, et vidit, et ecce tres virri stabant juxta eum: et vidit, et cucurrit in occursum eorum ab ostio tabernaculi, et incurvavit se super terram.
3. And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
3. Et dixit, Domine mi, si nunc inveni gratiam in oculis tuis, ne nunc transeas a servo tuo.
4. Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
4. Tollatur nunc parum aquae, et lavate pedes vestros, et considite sub arbore.
