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. Gen 19:2; Gen 24:32; Gen 43:24; 1Sa 25:41; Luk 7:44; Jhn 13:5-15; 1Ti 5:10 |
