Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

The woman had a fat calf - The ancients used great despatch in their cookery. In hot countries they could not keep flesh meat by them any length of time; hence they generally kept young animals, such as calves, lambs, and kids, ready for slaughter; and when there was occasion, one of them was killed, and dressed immediately.

Unleavened bread - There was not time to bake leavened bread; that would have taken considerable time, in order that the leaven might leaven the whole lump.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

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 Genesis 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.


Geneva Study Bible

And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake {l} unleavened bread thereof:

(l) Because it required haste.


Wesley's Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

24. the woman had a fat calf . and she hasted, and killed it, &c.-(See on [253]Ge 18:1-8).


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

28:20-25 Those that expect any good counsel or comfort, otherwise than from God, and in the way of his institutions, will be as wretchedly disappointed as Saul. Though terrified even to despair, he was not humbled. He confessed not his sins, offered no sacrifices, and presented no supplications. He does not seem to have cared about his sons or his people, or to have attempted any escape; but in sullen despair he rushed upon his doom. God sets up a few such beacons, to warn men not to stifle convictions, or despise his word. But while one repenting thought remains, let no sinner suppose himself in this case. Let him humble himself before God, determined to live and die beseeching his favour, and he will succeed.


Luke 15:23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate.
Luke 15:27 Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'
Genesis 18:6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick," he said, "get three seahs of fine flour and knead it and bake some bread."
Genesis 18:7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
1 Samuel 28:25 Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.
