What does Judges 19:21 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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.
