⁹ And the man got up to go—he, his concubine, and his servant—but his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, said to him, “Please, the day has worn on to evening; please, spend the night, the day has drawn to a close. Spend the night here and enjoy yourself.^[a] You can rise early tomorrow for your journey and go to your home.”^[b]

¹⁰ But the man was not willing to spend the night, and he got up and went; and he arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine. ¹¹ They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent,^[c] and the servant said to his master, “Please, come, let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites,^[d] and let us spend the night in it.”
