创世记 18章4节 到 18章4节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

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