Charles Ellicott Commentary Judges 19:21

"So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses fodder; and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink." — Judges 19:21 (ASV)

Gave fodder to the donkeys. — Notice the humane Eastern custom of attending first the wants of the animals.

They washed their feet. — One of the first necessities for personal comfort after a journey in hot countries, and where only sandals are worn (Genesis 18:4; Genesis 24:32; Genesis 43:24; Luke 7:44; John 13:5; 1 Timothy 5:10).
