Hospitality is Shared Provision

The American Indian much like the Nomadic Abraham in same hospitality ~ Land and all on it was not owned.
Ancient hospitality was acted out many times, Christ teaching later was restoring and defining it to a modern world.
This first mention to contrast the Nomadic Hospitality, with Lot's choice of Sodom that showed none and destroyed.
Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, "If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant." "Very well," they answered, "do as you say." So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. "Quick," he said, "get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread." Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them.
