Genesis 18:5
“And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 18Meaning
Abraham offers food to strengthen the visitors before they continue, framing their stop as refreshment along the way.
Read carefully
The language of a little bread is part of courteous speech and should be read alongside the much larger meal Abraham quickly organizes.
Reflection
The contrast between modest words and generous action gives the hospitality scene much of its force and character.
