Alternate translation: “one of his best calves that would be tasty to eat.”
וַיִּתֵּ֣ן
and=he/it_gave
The word gave means Abram brought the calf to his servant and put him in charge of preparing its meat for a meal. Make sure your translation does not sound like the calf was a gift. Alternate translation: “Then he took the calf” or “Then he turned it over”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיְמַהֵ֖ר לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת אֹתֽוֹ
and,hurried for=doing DOM=him/it
Make sure it is clear in your translation that this clause refers to the servant, not Abraham. Alternate translation: “and his servant quickly prepared it.” or “who quickly slaughtered it and roasted it.”
18:1-15 The Lord’s visit to Abraham set the time for Isaac’s birth. The three visitors were probably the Lord and two angels (see study note on 16:7). Abraham’s peaceful and generous reception of the visitors contrasts sharply with the chaos and corruption of Sodom (ch 19). Eating together was important in making or confirming covenants; when God was ready to fulfill the covenant promise, he came in person to share a meal with Abraham. Fellowship with God has always been signified by a communal meal (see Exod 24:9-11; Matt 26:17-30 // Luke 22:7-38; Acts 2:42; 1 Cor 11:20-34).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
