And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 19 of Judges. A Levite from Ephraim takes a concubine from Bethlehem, who eventually leaves him and returns to her father’s house. The Levite travels to bring her back and remains several days as a guest. When he finally begins his journey home, he decides to spend the night in Gibeah of Benjamin rather than in a foreign city. The choice prepares the moral contrast that will dominate the following scene.

Und sie setzten sich und aßen beide miteinander und tranken. Da sprach der Dirne Vater zu dem Mann: Bleib doch über Nacht und laß dein Herz guter Dinge sein.
Y sentáronse ellos dos juntos, y comieron y bebieron. Y el padre de la moza dijo al varón: Yo te ruego que te quieras quedar aquí esta noche, y alegrarase tu corazón.
Los dos se sentaron, comieron y bebieron juntos. El padre de la joven le dijo al hombre: «Por favor, acepta pasar la noche aquí y alegra tu corazón».
Et ils s'assirent, et ils mangèrent et burent eux deux ensemble. Puis le père de la jeune femme dit au mari: Décide-toi donc à passer la nuit, et que ton coeur se réjouisse.
Così si posero amendue a sedere, e mangiarono, e bevvero insieme; e il padre della giovane disse a quell’uomo: Deh! piacciati star qui questa notte, e il cuor tuo si rallegri.
Assentaram-se, pois, e comeram ambos juntos, e beberam; e disse o pai da moça ao homem: Peço-te que ainda esta noite queiras passá-la aqui, e alegre-se o teu coração.
於是二人坐下,一同吃喝。女子的父親對那人說:「請你答應再住一夜,使你的心舒暢。」
