Genesi 18:7 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:7

And Abraham ran unto the herd
While Sarah and her maids were kneading the dough and making the cakes: and fetched a calf tender and good;
a fine fat calf, which was reckoned very delicious food, and much in use with the ancients F17 and generally made a part in any grand entertainment, and was accounted fit for a king, see ( 1 Samuel 28:24 1 Samuel 28:25 ) ( Luke 15:23 ) : and gave [it] unto a young man:
one of his servants, to kill and dress as soon as possible; Jarchi says this was Ishmael, whom he trained up to such service: and he hasted to dress it;
the young man made all the haste he could to get it ready, according to the orders of Abraham.

Genesi 18:7 In-Context

5 Ed io arrecherò una fetta di pane, e voi vi conforterete il cuore; poi procederete al vostro cammino; conciossiachè per questo siate passati dal vostro servitore. Ed essi dissero: Fa’ così come tu hai detto.
6 Abrahamo adunque se ne andò in fretta nel padiglione a Sara, e le disse: Prendi prestamente tre misure di fior di farina, ed intridila, e fanne delle schiacciate.
7 Abrahamo corse ancora all’armento, e ne prese un vitello tenero e buono, e lo diede al servitore, il qual si affrettò d’apparecchiarlo.
8 Poi prese del burro e del latte, e quel vitello che il servitore avea apparecchiato, e pose queste cose davanti a loro: ed egli si stette presso di loro sotto quell’albero; ed essi mangiarono.
9 E gli dissero: Ov’è Sara tua moglie? Ed egli rispose: Eccola nel padiglione.
