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. Wait until later in the day to leave!| So they ate a meal together.

9 When the man got ready to leave with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, |Look! The day is almost over! Stay another night! Since the day is over, stay another night here and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and start your trip home.|
