Subject: wiping feet with hair? |
Bible Note: Greetings Catfish3! It was a custom for a host to provide water and towel for feet washing. In some case, it was custom for the host to wash his guest's feet. However, I can't find any evidence that it was customary for someone to use his or her hair to dry the guest's feet. It seems that the shock produced by her actions is one of the main features of the account. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
