Genesis 24:31-33

Living Bible

³¹ “Come and stay with us, friend;^[a] why stand here outside the city when we have a room all ready for you, and a place prepared for the camels!”

³² So the man went home with Laban, and Laban gave him straw to bed down the camels, and feed for them, and water for the camel drivers to wash their feet. ³³ Then supper was served. But the old man said, “I don’t want to eat until I have told you why I am here.”

“All right,” Laban said, “tell us your errand.”
