Les invités d'Abraham

Abraham receives three travelers beneath the shade of a great tree beside his tent, offering bread, drink, and a prepared meal in the manner of ancient Near Eastern hospitality. Sarah stands near the tent entrance, listening as the visitors share the promise that she will bear a son. The scene reflects Genesis 18, where the Lord appears to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre through the arrival of three guests. Abraham’s welcome becomes an act of reverence, and the meal becomes the setting for a covenant announcement that turns barrenness into promise. This artwork is well suited for teaching on hospitality, faith, covenant, angelic visitation, and the birth promise of Isaac.
