The cultural context of the ancient Near East placed a high value on hospitality, as seen in Genesis 18 with Abraham's hospitality to the three visitors. The act of taking in a stranger reflects the biblical principle of loving one's neighbor, as commanded in Leviticus 19:34, where Israelites are instructed to treat strangers as native-born and love them as themselves.
