Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the woman had a fat calf in the house,.... This was reckoned a very dainty dish in those countries, and fit for any guests, see Gen 18:7 ; Josephus
says (l), she vouchsafed to feed and take care of it in her house, and it was very familiar with her; and he highly commends the liberality of the woman, and as worthy of imitation: and she hasted and killed it; and dressed it in some way or another, and which in those times was done speedily: and took flour and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread therewith; which was soonest made, she not having time to leaven it. (l) Antiqu. l. 6. c. 14. sect. 3. 4.
