And the man arose to go, he and his concubine and his servant. And his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, said to him, “Behold now, the day has waned toward evening; please lodge here. Behold, the day is declining; lodge here, and let your heart be merry. And you shall rise early tomorrow for your journey, and you shall go to your tent.”
