leaf falleth off

from

the vine,

 

an as

a

falling fig

from

the

fig tree.

An

the

Lord

appeared

unto him

in

the plains

of

Mamre:

 

an he

sat

in

the tent door

in the heat

of

the day;

 

An he

lift up his

eyes

an

 looked,

 

an,

 

lo,

 

three men

stood

by

him:

 

an when

he

saw them,

 

he

ran to meet

them

from

the tent door,

 

an bowed

himself toward

the ground,

 

An

said,

 

My Lord,

 

if

now

I

have found favors

in

thy sight,

 

pass not away,

 

I

pray thee,

 

from thy servant:

 

Let

a

little water,

 

I

pray you,

be

fetched,

 

an wash your feet,

 

an rest yourselves

under

the tree:

***

 

And I

will fetch

a

morsel of bread,

 

an comfort

ye

your hearts;

And he

took butter,

 

and milk,

 

an the

calf

which

he

had dressed,

and set it before them;

 

and he stood

by

them

under the tree,

 

an they did eat.

 

 

I am ISamuelOYea
