Verse 15
No man - took them into his house to lodging - There was probably no inn or house of public entertainment in this place, and therefore they could not have a lodging unless furnished by mere hospitality. To say that there were no inns in those primitive times, is not true; there were such places, though not very frequent. Joseph's brethren found their money in their sacks when they loosed them at an inn, Genesis 42:27 . The house of Rahab was an inn, Joshua 2:1 . And the woman whose house Samson frequented at Gaza was a hostess, or one who kept a place of public entertainment.
