יֻקַּֽח נָ֣א מְעַט מַ֔יִם
brought now a_little waters
Saying a little was a polite way of showing generosity. Make sure your translation does not sound here like Abraham was only offering the men a tiny bit of water; he or his servants were going to bring them enough water to wash their feet. Alternate translation: “Let my servants bring you some water,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
וְרַחֲצ֖וּ רַגְלֵיכֶ֑ם
and,wash feet,your_all's
People wore sandals and their feet would get dusty when they traveled. So it was customary to offer guests water to wash the dust off their feet. Consider whether or not it is better to begin a new sentence here in your language. Also, notice that the pronouns you and your are plural here in the Hebrew text. Alternate translation: “That way you all can wash the dust off your feet”
וְהִֽשָּׁעֲנ֖וּ
and,rest
Alternate translation: “and then relax here”
18:1-15 The Lord’s visit to Abraham set the time for Isaac’s birth. The three visitors were probably the Lord and two angels (see study note on 16:7). Abraham’s peaceful and generous reception of the visitors contrasts sharply with the chaos and corruption of Sodom (ch 19). Eating together was important in making or confirming covenants; when God was ready to fulfill the covenant promise, he came in person to share a meal with Abraham. Fellowship with God has always been signified by a communal meal (see Exod 24:9-11; Matt 26:17-30 // Luke 22:7-38; Acts 2:42; 1 Cor 11:20-34).
