Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, hospitality was a crucial aspect of culture. Travelers often relied on the kindness of others for lodging, as inns were not as common or accessible as they are today. People would frequently lodge in courtyards, open fields, or with acquaintances. The concept of lodging also carried a sense of community and mutual care, reflecting the social norms of the time.
