Genesis 18:7

Then Abraham ran to the livestock, took a tender and fine [specially selected] bull calf, and gave it to a young servant (youth – Hebr. naar), who hurried to prepare it.
[Bread was baked daily for the family's needs. It was quick. Flour was mixed with water and baked on the floor over hot coals. The daily requirement for one person, according to Ex. 16:16, was one omer (which is 3/10 of a sea measure), so three sea measures was far more than was needed for three guests, Abraham and Sarah. Abraham's promise in verse 5 makes no mention of any slaughtered animal or extravagant meal. Literally, the Hebrew is: "son of cattle, tender and good/beautiful". There is a principle and a lesson in Abraham's actions: Don't promise too much too soon! Instead of disappointing someone by not fulfilling your promise, it is much better to surprise them with more than you first said.]
