Ge 18:1-8.
ENTERTAINMENT OF ANGELS.
1. the Lord appeared--another manifestation of the divine presence, more familiar than any yet narrated; and more like that in the fulness of time, when the Word was made flesh.
plains of Mamre--rather, terebinth or oak of Mamre; a tall-spreading tree or grove of trees.
sat in the tent door--The tent itself being too close and sultry at noon, the shaded open front is usually resorted to for the air that may be stirring.

2. 举目……观看，见有三个人——那地的旅客日出时启程，行到正午便找一个歇息之处。
他跑去迎接他们——若访客是寻常人，主人仅起身相迎；但若是尊贵之人，惯例是向陌生人前进一段，深深鞠躬之后，转身领他到帐棚，行路时以手臂围其腰，或拍其肩，以表示欢迎。

2. lift up his eyes . . . and, lo, three men--Travellers in that quarter start at sunrise and continue till midday when they look out for some resting-place.
he ran to meet them--When the visitor is an ordinary person, the host merely rises; but if of superior rank, the custom is to advance a little towards the stranger, and after a very low bow, turn and lead him to the tent, putting an arm round his waist, or tapping him on the shoulder as they go, to assure him of welcome.

3. 我主，我若在你眼前蒙恩——所提供的款待正是必需而最觉甘甜的那一类：洗脚的水，为那因穿凉鞋而暴露在尘土炎热中的脚，仍是希伯仑牧民中所最先看重的礼。

3. My Lord, if now I have found favor--The hospitalities offered are just of the kind that are necessary and most grateful, the refreshment of water, for feet exposed to dust and heat by the sandals, being still the first observed among the pastoral people of Hebron.

5. 你们既到了这里——并不问什么。但亚伯拉罕从他们所取的方向知道他们的目的——直直地从前面向牧长之帐棚走来，那帐棚总是与其余的不同，因而表明他们愿作他的客人。
영문 원문
5. for therefore are ye come--No questions were asked. But Abraham knew their object by the course they took--approaching directly in front of the chief sheik's tent, which is always distinguishable from the rest and thus showing their wish to be his guests.

6. 亚伯拉罕急忙……对撒拉说……做饼——面包每日而烤，只够一家之用，总是由妇女、通常由妻子所作。其过程简短。面粉和水调成面团，擀成饼，放在先用火烧过的土地面上。火撤去后，把饼放在地上，盖上热灰，不久便熟，一取下便吃。
영문 원문
6. Abraham hastened . . . unto Sarah . . . make cakes upon the hearth--Bread is baked daily, no more than is required for family use, and always by the women, commonly the wife. It is a short process. Flour mixed with water is made into dough, and being rolled out into cakes, it is placed on the earthen floor, previously heated by a fire. The fire being removed, the cakes are laid on the ground, and being covered over with hot embers, are soon baked, and eaten the moment they are taken off.

7. 亚伯拉罕又跑到牛群里，牵了一只牛犊来——肉食从不轻易预备，除非是为尊贵的客人，那时才宰山羊或羊羔。牛犊更是更高的款待；其烹制大概照匆忙时的常法——或整只烤，或切成小块串在签子上在火上烤。吃时总是与煮的谷粒同食，谷粒浸在奶油或融化脂油中；每一块肉放在一片饼上，蘸过之后再以手指送入口中。
영문 원문
7. Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf--Animal food is never provided, except for visitors of a superior rank when a kid or lamb is killed. A calf is still a higher stretch of hospitality, and it would probably be cooked as is usually done when haste is required--either by roasting it whole or by cutting it up into small pieces and broiling them on skewers over the fire. It is always eaten along with boiled corn swimming in butter or melted fat, into which every morsel of meat, laid upon a piece of bread, is dipped, before being conveyed by the fingers to the mouth.

8. 奶——一碗骆驼奶结束这顿饭。
自己在树下站在旁边——主人即使有许多仆人，也认为在客人进食时站着是必要的礼貌；亚伯拉罕显然在他知道访客的真面目之前就这样作了。

8. milk--A bowl of camel's milk ends the repast.
he stood by them under the tree--The host himself, even though he has a number of servants, deems it a necessary act of politeness to stand while his guests are at their food, and Abraham evidently did this before he was aware of the real character of his visitors.

对撒拉的责备。

(Heb 13:2)。

REPROOF OF SARAH.
An inquiry about his wife, so surprising in strangers, the subject of conversation, and the fulfilment of the fondly cherished promise within a specified time, showed Abraham that he had been entertaining more than ordinary travellers
(Heb 13:2).

12. 撒拉心里暗笑——长久的耽延似乎削弱了信心。撒拉把这宣告当作不可信；当她被指控为暗笑时，她更加上谎言。这是加重的罪
(Ac 5:4)，
若非恩典便不能救她
(Ro 9:18)。

12. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself--Long delay seems to have weakened faith. Sarah treated the announcement as incredible, and when taxed with the silent sneer, she added falsehood to distrust. It was an aggravated offense
(Ac 5:4),
and nothing but grace saved her
(Ro 9:18).

21. 我要下去……察看——这是用人比喻的说法。这两座城要作为神严厉审判万世万代的鉴戒；因此给予充分证明，表明这审判既不草率也不过分
(结 18:23； 耶 18:7)。

21. I will go down . . . and see--language used after the manner of men. These cities were to be made examples to all future ages of God's severity; and therefore ample proof given that the judgment was neither rash nor excessive

亚伯拉罕的代求。
23. 亚伯拉罕近前来说，等等——这里所描写的场景极具意义和教训——以无可置疑的方式显明了祷告和代求的功效。（又见
箴 15:8； 雅 5:16）。
亚伯拉罕就神程序之公义作了正确的推理
(罗 3:5, 6)，
许多有罪的城邑和国家因神的百姓而得以存留
(太 5:13；24:22)。

ABRAHAM'S INTERCESSION.
23. Abraham drew near, and said, &c.--The scene described is full of interest and instruction--showing in an unmistakable manner the efficacy of prayer and intercession. (See also
Pr 15:8; Jas 5:16).
Abraham reasoned justly as to the rectitude of the divine procedure
(Ro 3:5, 6),
and many guilty cities and nations have been spared on account of God's people
(Mt 5:13; 24:22).

33. 耶和华……说完了话……亚伯拉罕回到自己的地方去了——亚伯拉罕为何不再继续代求？要么因为他满以为如今必定保全了那几座城
(路 13:9)，
要么因为主约束了他，使他不再代求
(耶 7:16；11:14)。
但那里没有十个"义人"。只有一个，而他若在普遍倾覆中灭亡，也无不公平
(传 9:2)。
但有时会有分别；这一次，为亚伯拉罕的缘故，神的恩典以独特的方式显明。与神的一位圣徒相连，是何等的福气！

33. the Lord . . . left communing . . . and Abraham returned unto his place--Why did Abraham cease to carry his intercessions farther? Either because he fondly thought that he was now sure of the cities being preserved
(Lu 13:9),
or because the Lord restrained his mind from further intercession
(Jer 7:16; 11:14).
But there were not ten "righteous persons." There was only one, and he might without injustice have perished in the general overthrow
(Ec 9:2).
But a difference is sometimes made, and on this occasion the grace of God was manifested in a signal manner for the sake of Abraham. What a blessing to be connected with a saint of God!
Ge 18:1-8.
接待天使。
1. 耶和华显现——又一次神性临在的彰显，比此前所记的任何一次更为亲密；也更像日期满足、道成肉身时的那种彰显。
幔利的平原——更准确地说，是幔利的笃耨香或橡树；一棵高大的、枝叶广展的树，或一片树林。
坐在帐篷门口——正午时帐篷内太过闷热，所以通常到有荫的前面空地去乘凉。
