- Genesis 18:4
Let a little water be brought, that you may wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree.
Commentary on Genesis 18:41 voice
But how does he continue again as if speaking to men: "Let water be received," the text says, "and your feet be washed"?Abraham, the father and teacher of nations, is indeed teaching you by these things how you ought to receive guests and that you should wash the feet of guests. Nevertheless even this is said mysteriously. For he knew that the mysteries of the Lord were not to be completed except in the washing of feet.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON GENESIS 4.2, 253Patristic

Nay; but we will abide in the street - Instead of לא lo, nay, some MSS. have לו lo, to him; And they said unto him, for we lodge in the street. where, nevertheless, the negation is understood. Knowing the disposition of the inhabitants, and appearing in the mere character of travelers, they preferred the open street to any house; but as Lot pressed them vehemently, and they knew him to be a righteous man, not yet willing to make themselves known, they consented to take shelter under his hospitable roof.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical

And the man brought the men into Joseph's house,.... After the above discourse had passed between them, and he had made their minds easy, both with respect to the money, and by bringing Simeon unbound to them: and gave them water, and they washed their feet; which was usually done in the eastern countries after travelling, and when about to take a meal, and was both for refreshment and cleanliness: and he gave their asses provender; thus were they hospitably entertained, they and all that belonged to them.

- Exodus 19:10
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
Commentary on Exodus 19:101 voice
However, even the people had to be purified two or three days beforehand, so as to come clean to the sacrifice, as we read in the Old Testament. They even used to wash their clothes. If such regard was paid in what was only the figure, how much ought it to be shown in the reality! Learn then, priest and Levite, what it means to wash your clothes. You must have a pure body wherewith to offer up the sacraments.

- Exodus 29:4
Then present Aaron and his sons at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
Commentary on Exodus 29:41 voice
The high priest washes himself, then offers incense; for Aaron was first washed, then became high priest. For how could one who had not yet been cleansed by water pray for others? Further, the laver had been set within the tabernacle, as a symbol of baptism.
