And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
Así que se sentaron y comieron y bebieron juntos. El padre de la joven le había dicho al hombre: 'Por favor quédate y ponte cómodo aquí. Pasa la noche con nosotros y disfruta.'
El suegro invitó cordialmente al levita a quedarse, comer y pasar la noche en su casa.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Judges, this verse is set during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, around the 12th century BC, when the nation lacked a centralized king and individuals often acted according to their own desires, leading to moral and social chaos. The scene involves a Levite who has come to retrieve his concubine from her father's house in Bethlehem, where the father extends generous hospitality by urging the guest to stay longer and enjoy a meal together, reflecting ancient Near Eastern customs of honor and prolonged fellowship. This highlights the cultural emphasis on hospitality as a way to build alliances and show respect in a society without formal structures.
