His father-in-law, the young lady's father, welcomed him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and stayed there.

So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady's father said to the man, "Please agree to stay the night, and enjoy yourself."

He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady's father said, "Please refresh yourself and stay until the day declines." And they both ate.

So he brought him into his house, and fed the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
