Gênesis 18:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:1

And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre
That is, to Abraham; and very likely this appearance of God was quickly after the affair of the circumcision, to show his approbation of his ready obedience to his command; and at this time he was in the plains, or at the oaks of Mamre, the oaken grove there, as has been observed on ( Genesis 13:18 ) ; and which seems to be the best rendering of the words, since in ( Genesis 18:4 Genesis 18:8 ) ; mention is made of a tree to sit and stand under; and Abraham might choose this place for his habitation, because of the shadiness of it, in those hot countries:

and he sat in the tent door, in the heat of the day;
partly to cool and refresh himself, and partly to observe if any passengers passed by, to invite them in; this being a time of day when such needed refreshment, and it was proper for them to lie by a while, and not proceed on their journey until it was cooler: or rather to or "near" the tent door, as Noldius F7, or before it, without or under the shade of the tree, after mentioned.

Gênesis 18:1 In-Context

1 O SENHOR apareceu a Abraão perto dos carvalhos de Manre, quando ele estava sentado à entrada de sua tenda, na hora mais quente do dia.
2 Abraão ergueu os olhos e viu três homens em pé, a pouca distância. Quando os viu, saiu da entrada de sua tenda, correu ao encontro deles e curvou-se até o chão.
3 Disse ele: “Meu senhor, se mereço o seu favor, não passe pelo seu servo sem fazer uma parada.
4 Mandarei buscar um pouco d'água para que lavem os pés e descansem debaixo desta árvore.
5 Vou trazer a vocês também o que comer, para que recuperem as forças e prossigam pelo caminho, agora que já chegaram até este seu servo”.“Está bem; faça como está dizendo”, responderam.
