Judges 19:8

19:8 He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl’s father said, “Get some energy. ⁴  Wait until later in the day to leave!” ⁵  So they ate a meal together.

[7:1]  ¹ tn Heb “and all the people who were with him.”

[7:1]  ² sn The name Harod means, ironically, “trembling.”

[19:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “Sustain your heart.” He is once more inviting him to stay for a meal.

[19:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “Wait until the declining of the day.”
