About　הַכְנָסַת אורחים Guys, I have a question regarding the phraze ‘הַכְנָסַת אורחים’ If this phraze is translated literally, I think it is ‘guest income’. But in fact English translation in my book is ‘hospitality’. Is it correct ? I wish your explanation.

As shauli said it is hospitality. Literally it is ‘guests income’ (הכנסה = income, אורחים = guests).

What the other comments said is correct. Except, instead of "income" (which usually means money), the meaning of הַכְנָסַת is "welcome" (literally "coming in"). So הַכְנָסַת אורחים means treating guests kindly (歓待、客扱い、とか）
