6 Abraham alla promptement dans sa tente vers Sara, et il dit: Vite, trois mesures de fleur de farine, pétris, et fais des gâteaux.
7 Et Abraham courut à son troupeau, prit un veau tendre et bon, et le donna à un serviteur, qui se hâta de l’apprêter.
8 Il prit encore de la crème et du lait, avec le veau qu’on avait apprêté, et il les mit devant eux. Il se tint lui-même à leurs côtés, sous l’arbre. Et ils mangèrent.
9 Alors ils lui dirent: Où est Sara, ta femme? Il répondit: Elle est là, dans la tente.
10 L’un d’entre eux dit: Je reviendrai vers toi à cette même époque; et voici, Sara, ta femme, aura un fils. Sara écoutait à l’entrée de la tente, qui était derrière lui.
