Genesis 24:32 - Exposition

And the man came into the house: and he ( i . e . Laban) ungirded his (literally, the) camels, and gave straw —cut up by threshing for fodder (cf. Job 21:18 ; Isaiah 11:7 ; Isaiah 65:25 )— and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet (cf. Genesis 18:4 ; Genesis 19:2 ), and the men's feet that were with him —the first intimation that any one accompanied the messenger, though that assistants were necessary is obvious from the narrative.
