Genesis 18:7
βAnd Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 18Meaning
Abraham runs to the herd, chooses a good young calf, and gives it to a servant who prepares it without delay.
Read carefully
The verse reports food preparation in an ancient pastoral household; it is descriptive narrative rather than a universal dietary command.
Reflection
The repeated urgency of the scene shows hospitality expressed through costly, concrete effort rather than sentiment alone.
