In Judges 19:21, the Qal sequential imperfect form occurs in the sequence after the man brings his guest into his house; the APB renders the clause, "and he fed the donkeys," before the travelers wash their feet and eat and drink.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Judges 19:21, the APB presents the action as "he fed the donkeys." This rendering is confirmed by the clause's sequence rather than treated as a separate lexical definition.
