§ 4 Gen. 18. v. 1, 2, 3. And the Lord appeared unto him (Abraham) in the Plains of Mamre, and he sate 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 when he saw them, he came to meet them from the Tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground; and said, my Lord if I have now found favour in thy sight, &c. The Jews in Bereshith Ketanna say, that this Appearance of God unto Abraham, was three days after his circumcision, from the sore whereof being not recovered, he sate in the door of his Tent, and that God came to visit him in his sickness. But the Reason of his sitting in the door of the Tent is given in the Text, namely, because it was [Greek or Hebrew], as in, or about the heat of the Day, as the day grew hot: in an opposition unto the time of Gods appearance unto Adam, which was [Greek or Hebrew] in the cool air of the day. For as when God comes to curse, nothing shall refresh the creature, though in its own nature suited thereunto, it shall wither in the cool of the day, so when he comes to bless, nothing shall hinder the influence of it upon his creatures, however any thing in its self may like the heat of the day be troublesome or perplexing.

But the Reason of his sitting in the door of the Tent is given in the Text, namely, because it was 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, as in, or about the heat of the Day, as the day grew hot: in an opposition unto the time of Gods appearance unto Adam, which was 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 in the cool aire of the day.
