2And his servant-wife was angry with him, and went away from him to her father's house at Beth-lehem-judah, and was there for four months.
3Then her husband got up and went after her, with the purpose of talking kindly to her, and taking her back with him; he had with him his young man and two asses: and she took him into her father's house, and her father, when he saw him, came forward to him with joy.
4And his father-in-law, the girl's father, kept him there for three days; and they had food and drink and took their rest there.
5Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning and he made ready to go away; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, Take a little food to keep up your strength, and then go on your way.
6So seating themselves they had food and drink, the two of them together; and the girl's father said to the man, If it is your pleasure, take your rest here tonight, and let your heart be glad.
7And the man got up to go away, but his father-in-law would not let him go, so he took his rest there again for the night.
8Then early on the morning of the fifth day he got up to go away; but the girl's father said, Keep up your strength; so the two of them had a meal, and the man and his woman and his servant did not go till after the middle of the day.
