Abraham and the Angels

Subject of meeting unearthly creatures that only appear human is endlessly fascinating. A mystical vision, a messenger of the unknowable sits at your table, talking, drinking wine, letting you wash its tired feet...

Abraham and the Angels

" On seeing them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, prostrated himself on the ground, 3 and said, “My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, please don’t leave your servant. 4 Please let me send for some water, so that you can wash your feet; then rest under the tree, 5 and I will bring a piece of bread. Now that you have come to your servant, refresh yourselves before going on.” “Very well,” they replied, “do what you have said.”
