Two sons XII

Butter and honey shall he eat

And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
And he - lift up his eyes - and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him:
**
And he said, What pledge shall I - give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived - by him.
**
Then Joseph - could not refrain him-self before - all them that stood by him; and he cried, - Cause every man - to go out from me. And - there - stood no man with him, - while Joseph made himself - known unto his brethren.
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
**
and when he saw them, he ran to meet them - from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from - thy servant:
And Abraham - ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
**
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse - the evil, - and choose the good.
**
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall - every one eat that is left in the land.
**
And he took - butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it - before them; and he stood - by them - under the tree, and - they did eat.
And they said unto him, - Where is Sarah thy wife?
And he said, Behold, - in the tent.
*****
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned again-st heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
