2. Describe the role of the law of hospitality.
Back to History 8 Fifth Mountain Readings
Example 1 "Give me lodging with you for I am presented in my own country."(35) This shows Elijah looking for a place to stay while being chased by Jezebel for not switching religions. He understands the custom, and demands it be given to him.
Example 2 "Her instinct was to send them away at once, but custom-and the gods-demanded that she honor the universal law of hospitality."(176) This shows a woman who wants to turn them away, as they are strangers and possibly criminals. However, she honors the custom, fearing the same fate may befall her children.
