| − | Moral principles are the principles of right and wrong that are accepted by an individual or social group. In “The Fifth Mountain” A Phoenician moral principle is the law of hospitality. “Everyone knew of the ancient custom: if a city were to deny shelter to a traveler, the sons of its inhabitants would later face the same difficulty”(pg. 40). because of the moral principle, hospitality, a Phoenician widow took in Elijah even though she had very little food to spare. It was the Phoenician high priest that reminded everyone “Custom mandates that we offer hospitality to foreigners”(pg. 39). Initially she thought she was rewarded because people brought them food. More food than she had ever had before. But when her son died she believed she was, instead cursed.
