Jueces 19:5 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 19:5

And it came to pass on the fourth day
The time the Levite had agreed to stay being up:

when they arose early in the morning
the Levite, his concubine and servant, in order to set out on their journey: that he arose to depart; the Levite rose up from his seat to take his leave of his father-in-law, and depart from his house, and proceed on his way homeward; for rising out of his bed is before expressed:

and the damsel's father said to his son in law, comfort thy heart with
a morsel of bread;
take a breakfast first, that he might be fitter for his journey, for bread comforts or strengthens men's hearts, ( Psalms 104:15 ) though here it may be put for any and all sorts of provisions, whatever might be proper to take early in a morning, and before setting out on a journey: and afterwards go your way; he seemed as if he was willing he should set forward, after he had refreshed him with a meal.

3 Y se levant贸 su marido, y la sigui贸, para hablarle amorosamente y volverla, llevando consigo un criado suyo y un par de asnos; y ella le meti贸 en la casa de su padre.
4 Y vi茅ndole el padre de la joven, le sali贸 a recibir gozoso; y le detuvo su suegro, el padre de la joven, y qued贸 en su casa tres d铆as, comiendo y bebiendo, y reposando all铆.
5 Y al cuarto d铆a, cuando se levantaron de ma帽ana, se levant贸 tambi茅n el levita para irse, y el padre de la joven dijo a su yerno: Conforta tu coraz贸n con un bocado de pan, y despu茅s os ir茅is.
6 Y se sentaron ellos dos juntos, y comieron y bebieron. Y el padre de la joven dijo al var贸n: Yo te ruego que te quieras quedar aqu铆 esta noche, y se alegrar谩 tu coraz贸n.
7 Y levant谩ndose el var贸n para irse, el suegro le constri帽贸 a que tornase y tuviese all铆 la noche.
