Judges 19:9 (King James Version)
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
- the day
- Luke 24:29
- draweth, etc
- Hebrew is weak. the day groweth to an end. Hebrew
- it is the pitching time of the day, Jeremiah 6:4 .That is, it was near the time in which travellers ordinarily pitched their tents, to take up their lodging for the night. In the latter part of the afternoon, eastern travellers begin to look out for a place for this purpose
- So Dr. Shaw observes, "Our constant practice was to rise at break of day, set forward with the sun, and travel to the middle of the afternoon; at which time we began to look out for encampments of Arabs; who, to prevent such parties as ours from living at free charges upon them, take care to pitch in woods, valleys, or places the least conspicuous."
- to morrow
- Proverbs 27:1 ; James 4:13 James 4:14
- home
- Hebrew to thy tent.
