"And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;"
The Spirit is clear: The Lord makes a visit to the Patriarch. The place where theymeet is also specific. We have a commentary to this in the epistle to the Hebrews, comments," Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."(Heb.13.2)
One curious aspect of angels as with disciples are sent two by two. "And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;"(19.1).

"And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
Spirit of truth tells Sarai who lied being afrais, "Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh."(v.15)
