Genesis 18:3-5

18:3

favor <02580> [favour.]


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.]
