Halakhah su Genesi 24:14
וְהָיָ֣ה הַֽנַּעֲרָ֗ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֹמַ֤ר אֵלֶ֙יהָ֙ הַטִּי־נָ֤א כַדֵּךְ֙ וְאֶשְׁתֶּ֔ה וְאָמְרָ֣ה שְׁתֵ֔ה וְגַם־גְּמַלֶּ֖יךָ אַשְׁקֶ֑ה אֹתָ֤הּ הֹכַ֙חְתָּ֙ לְעַבְדְּךָ֣ לְיִצְחָ֔ק וּבָ֣הּ אֵדַ֔ע כִּי־עָשִׂ֥יתָ חֶ֖סֶד עִם־אֲדֹנִֽי׃
Ora la donzella, cui io dirò: “China in grazia il tuo vase, ch’io beva” e dirà: “Bevi, ed io darò a bere anche ai tuoi cammelli” quella (io crederò esser’colei che) tu assegnasti al tuo servo Isacco, e mediante di quella io conoscerò [crederò] che usasti benivoglienza verso il mio padrone.
Kitzur Shulchan Arukh
If you own animals or birds (poultry), and it is your responsibility to feed them, you are not allowed to eat anything until you feed them, as it is written (Deuteronomy 11:15): "And I will put grass in your fields for your cattle (animals) and you will eat and be satisfied." Thus the Torah has given preference to feeding the cattle [animals] before the feeding of man. But as regards drinking, man comes first as it is written (Genesis 24:14): [Rivkah said] "Drink first and I will also give your camels to drink." Similarly it is written (Numbers 20:8): "And you will give drink to the congregation and to their animals."
