King James Bible - Genesis 18:4

Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

World English Bible

Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

But I will fetch a little water, and wash ye your feet, and rest ye under the tree.

Webster's Bible Translation

Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

Original Hebrew

יקח
3947 נא 4994 מעט 4592 מים 4325 ורחצו 7364 רגליכם 7272 והשׁענו 8172 תחת 8478 העץ׃ 6086

SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:4

Que se traiga ahora un poco de agua, y lavad vuestros pies; y recostaos debajo de un árbol,

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 18:4

Verse 4. Let a little water-be fetched, and
wash your feet, &c.] In these verses we find a delightful picture of primitive hospitality. In those ancient times shoes such as ours were not in use; and the foot was protected only by sandals or soles, which fastened round the foot with straps. It was therefore a 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.

Rest yourselves under the tree] We have already heard of the oak grove of Mamre, chap. xii. 6, and this was the second requisite for the refreshment of a weary traveler, viz., rest in the shade.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-8 - Abraham was waiting to entertain any weary traveller, for inns were no to be met with as among us. While Abraham was thus sitting, he saw three men coming. These were three heavenly beings in human bodies Some think they were all created angels; others, that one of them wa the Son of God, the Angel of the covenant. Washing the feet is customary in those hot climates, where only sandals are worn. We shoul not be forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares, Heb 13:2; nay, the Lord of angels himself as we always do, when for his sake we entertain the least of his brethren. Cheerful and obliging manners in showing kindness, are grea ornaments to piety. Though our condescending Lord vouchsafes no personal visits to us, yet still by his Spirit he stands at the doo and knocks; when we are inclined to open, he deigns to enter; and by his gracious consolations he provides a rich feast, of which we partak with him, Re 3:20.
