The devoted nations, which God destroyed before Israel, were descended from Canaan: and so were the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, who were at length subjugated with dreadful destruction by the Greeks and Romans. The Africans, who have been bought and sold like beasts, were also his posterity.

Genesis 18:4-5

18:4

wash ... feet <07272 07364> [wash your feet.]

In those ancient times, shoes such as ours, were not in use; and the foot was protected only with sandals or soles, fastened round the foot with straps. It was, therefore, not only necessary from motives of cleanliness, but also a very great refreshment, in so hot a country, to get the feet washed at the end of a day's journey; and this is the first thing that Abraham proposes.

tree <06086> [tree.]

Rest in the shade was the second requisite for the refreshment of a weary traveller.

18:5

get <03947> [And I.]

food <03899> [bread.]

This was the third requisite, and is introduced in its proper order; as eating immediately after exertion or fatigue is very unwholesome.

refresh <05582> [comfort. Heb. stay.]

passed ......... may <05674> [are ye come. Heb. ye have passed.]
