Genesis 18:1-15 is a first narrative of hospitality in the Bible. To some extent it follows a protocol of hospitality as it is practiced in the ancient Near East. However the biblical story departs from it in some important points. In order to understand them we must apply several hermeneutical insights made by E. Levinas, P. Ricoeur, and J. Derrida. They help to distinguish between conditional hospitality of Abraham concerned with rights, duties, obligations, and unconditional, absolute hospitality of strangers, without sovereignty, which unfolds towards what is impossible.
