Genesis 18:7 - Exposition

And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, —the greatness of the honor done to the strangers was evinced by the personal activity of the patriarch, and the offering of animal food, which was not a common article of consumption among Orientals— and gave it unto a young man ;— i.e. the servant in attendance (cf. Genesis 14:24 )— and he hasted to dress it.
