Judges 19:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ When everyone got up on the fourth day, the Levite started getting ready to go home. But his father-in-law said, “Don't leave until you have a bite to eat. You'll need strength for your journey.”

⁶ The two men sat down together and ate a big meal. “Come on,” the man's father-in-law said. “Stay tonight and have a good time.”

⁷ The Levite tried to leave, but his father-in-law insisted, and he spent one more night there.
