4
Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
5
And I will bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
