<p> (פָּקִד, | <p> ( '''''פָּקִד''''' , '''''Ἐπισκέπτομαι''''' ). Little mention is made in the Bible of ceremonies or complimentary visits of a social character. (See [[Courtesy]]). Guests were welcomed with water to wash their feet ( Genesis 18:4; Genesis 24:32; Judges 19:21; 1 Samuel 25:41; Luke 7:44, etc.; comp.; Shaw, ''Travels,'' p. 208); just as in modern times coffee, tobacco, and frequently other refreshments are offered, and the beard is sometimes sprinkled with perfumed water (Arvielux, 3, 186; Harmer, 2; 77, 83; 3, 179). A repast was speedily prepared ( Genesis 8:4; Judges 19:21; compo Niebluhr, ''Bed.'' p. 58; Arvielux, 4, 342), and the guest's animals were provided for ( Genesis 21:32; Judges 19:21). (See [[Hospitality]]). '''''—''''' [[Presents]] are common today in visits (Harmer, 2, 13). (See [[Gift]]). It was regarded as a sacred duty to visit the sick Siracch; 7:39; Matthew 25:36; Matthew 25:3), and the [[Talmudists]] had the proverb "To neglect to visit the sick is the same as to shed blood" (see Sch '''''Ö''''' ttgen, ''Hor. Heb.'' 1, 230 sq.); a principle of humanity that was recognised even among the '''''‘''''' heathen (see ''Kupe'' , ''Observ.'' 1, 129 sq.). </p> | ||
