Giudici 19:21 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 19:21

So he brought him into his house
Showed him the way to it, and in a kind and friendly manner introduced him, and bid him welcome:

and gave provender unto the asses;
this is mentioned first, it being then perhaps, as now, the first thing that a careful man is concerned for, to see that his cattle is taken care of, and then himself; and such a method this ancient good man took with his guest:

and they washed their feet;
which was commonly done to strangers in those hot countries, and was very refreshing, see ( Genesis 18:4 ) ( 19:2 )

and did eat and drink;
sat down at table and supped with him.

Giudici 19:21 In-Context

19 E pure abbiamo della paglia, e della pastura, per li nostri asini; e anche del pane e del vino, per me, e per la tua servente, e per lo famiglio che è co’ tuoi servitori; noi non abbiamo mancamento di nulla.
20 E quell’uomo vecchio gli disse: Datti pace; lascia pur la cura a me d’ogni tuo bisogno; sol non istar la notte in su la piazza.
21 Ed egli lo menò in casa sua, e diè della pastura agli asini; ed essi si lavarono i piedi, e mangiarono e bevvero.
22 Mentre stavano allegramente, ecco, gli uomini di quella città, uomini scellerati, furono attorno alla casa, picchiando all’uscio; e dissero a quell’uomo vecchio, padron della casa: Mena fuori quell’uomo ch’è venuto in casa tua, acciocchè noi lo conosciamo.
23 Ma quell’uomo, padron della casa, uscì fuori a loro, e disse loro: No, fratelli miei; deh! non fate questo male; poichè quest’uomo è venuto in casa mia, non fate questa villania.
