'Fattened' in the Bible

Again, he sent out other slaves, and said, ‘Tell those who are invited: Look, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

Then bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let’s celebrate with a feast,

‘Your brother is here,’ he told him, ‘and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.’

You have lived luxuriously on the land and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.
