A straightforward term for animal feed or fodder, appearing exclusively in hospitality narratives where travelers' donkeys and camels must be provisioned alongside their human owners. Abraham's servant is offered 'straw and fodder' for his camels (Gen 24:25, 32), Joseph's brothers feed their donkeys at the Egyptian lodging place (Gen 42:27; 43:24), and the old man of Gibeah provides fodder for the Levite's donkeys (Judg 19:19). In every case, offering fodder signals generous hospitality. French and German both use 'fodder/Futter' directly, while Spanish 'forraje' (forage) captures the same agricultural sense.
