Then we can continue to be happy together.’ ⁷ The Levite got up to go, but his wife's father made him stay. ⁸ The Levite got up early in the morning of the fifth day. He was ready to leave. But the woman's father said, ‘Make yourself strong with some food. Wait until this afternoon and then you can go.’ So the two of them ate a meal together.
