One of the most beautiful comments on the scene of Avraham and the three men (malachim) was given by R. Shalom Roikeach of Belz who noted that in 18:2, the visitors are spoken of as standing above Avraham [nitzavim alav]. However, in verse 18:8, AVRAHAM is described as standing above them [omed alehem].
R' Shalom points out: At first, the visitors were higher than Abraham because they were angels and he a flesh and blood human being. But when he gave them food, drink and shelter, he stood even higher than the angels.
