See how you translated “oak” in [Genesis 12:6](../12/06.md).

## in the tent doorway ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"hottest time of day"
|

## He looked up and, behold, he saw three men standing ##
|
|
|
|
|
|

"He looked up and saw, and behold, three men were standing"
|
|
|

The word “behold” here shows us that what follows was surprising to Abraham. It can be translated here as "suddenly."

## across from him ##
