Judges 19:16-21

16Then beholdH2009, an oldH2205 manH376 was comingH935 out of the fieldH7704 from his workH4639 at eveningH6153. Now the manH376 was from 1the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and he was 2stayingH1481 in GibeahH1390, but the menH376 of the placeH4725 3were BenjamitesH1145. 17And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the travelerH376H732 in the openH7339 squareH7339 of the cityH5892; and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, “WhereH575 are you goingH1980, and whereH370 do you comeH935 from?” 18He saidH559 to him, “We are passingH5674 from BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063 to the remoteH3411 partH3411 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, for I am from thereH8033, and I wentH1980 to BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063. But I am now goingH1980 to 4my houseH1004, and noH369 manH376 will takeH622 me into his houseH1004. 19Yet thereH3426 is bothH1571 strawH8401 and fodderH4554 for our donkeysH2543, and alsoH1571 breadH3899 and wineH3196 for me, 5your maidservantH519, and 6the youngH5288 manH5288 who is with your servantsH5650; thereH369 is noH369 lackH4270 of anythingH3605H1697.” 20The oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, “7PeaceH7965 to you. OnlyH7534 let me take care of allH3605 your needsH4270; howeverH7534, do not spendH3885 the nightH3885 in the openH7339 squareH7339.” 218So he tookH935 him into his houseH1004 and gaveH1101 the donkeysH2543 fodderH1101, and they washedH7364 their feetH7272 and ateH398 and drankH8354.
