Genesis 24:33

24:33 When food was served, ¹  he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I want to say.” ²  “Tell us,” Laban said. ³ 

Ruth 3:18

3:18 Then Naomi ⁴  said, “Stay put, ⁵  my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out. For the man will not rest until he has taken care of the matter today.”

Proverbs 6:4

6:4 Permit no sleep to your eyes ⁶ 

or slumber to your eyelids.

¹ tn Heb “and food was placed before him.”

² tn Heb “my words.”

³ tc Some ancient textual witnesses have a plural verb, “and they said.”

⁴ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Naomi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “sit”; KJV “Sit still”; NAB “Wait here”; NLT “Just be patient.”

⁶ tn Heb “do not give sleep to your eyes.” The point is to go to the neighbor and seek release from the agreement immediately (cf. NLT “Don’t rest until you do”).
