Giudici 19:9

Listen to Giudici 19:9
9 E quando quell’uomo si levò per andarsene con la sua concubina e col suo servo, il suocero, il padre della giovane, gli disse: "Ecco, il giorno volge ora a sera; ti prego, trattienti qui questa notte; vedi, il giorno sta per finire; pernotta qui, e il cuor tuo si rallegri; e domani vi metterete di buon’ora in cammino e te ne andrai a casa".

Giudici 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 19:9

And when the man rose up to depart, he and his concubine, and
his servant
Rose up from table, having comfortably refreshed themselves:

his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, behold, now the
day draweth towards evening;
or is "remiss", or "weak" F14; that is, the heat, light, and strength of the sun abated, and became weaker and more remiss, as it does the more it declines, and is nearer setting:

I pray you tarry all night;
suggesting, it was a very improper time to set out in on a journey:

behold, the day groweth to an end;
or "behold, it is the encampment of the day" F15, when the day or sun seems to be pitching its tent, and going to rest; or it being the time when an army on the march stops and pitches their tents, in order to continue all night; or when men go to their tents and habitations, and lie down and take their rest:

lodge here, that thine heart may be merry;
and let us have another pleasant evening together, which cannot be had in an inn upon the road; you cannot be comfortable there, as here, and therefore be persuaded to stay, since it is not possible to get home tonight:

and tomorrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home;
to thy city, as the Targum; signifying, that he should not insist upon their staying any longer, and then they might set out on their journey as soon as they pleased.

Giudici 19:9 In-Context

7 Ma quell’uomo si alzò per andarsene; nondimeno, per le istanze del suocero, pernottò quivi di nuovo.
8 Il quinto giorno egli si levò di buon’ora per andarsene; e il padre della giovane gli disse: "Ti prego, fortìficati il cuore, e aspettate finché declini il giorno". E si misero a mangiare assieme.
9 E quando quell’uomo si levò per andarsene con la sua concubina e col suo servo, il suocero, il padre della giovane, gli disse: "Ecco, il giorno volge ora a sera; ti prego, trattienti qui questa notte; vedi, il giorno sta per finire; pernotta qui, e il cuor tuo si rallegri; e domani vi metterete di buon’ora in cammino e te ne andrai a casa".
10 Ma il marito non volle passar quivi la notte; si levò, partì, e giunse dirimpetto a Jebus, che è Gerusalemme, coi suoi due asini sellati e con la sua concubina.
11 Quando furono vicini a Jebus, il giorno era molto calato; e il servo disse al suo padrone: "Vieni, ti prego, e dirigiamo il cammino verso questa città de’ Gebusei, e pernottiamo quivi".
