Genesis 24:31-33

Expanded Bible

³¹ Laban said, “·Sir [^LO blessed one], ·you are welcome to come in [^Lcome]; ·you don’t have to stand [^Lwhy are standing…?] outside. I have ·prepared [^Lcleared out] the house for you and also a place for your camels.”

³² So Abraham’s servant went into the house. After Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and ·food [fodder], he gave water to Abraham’s servant so he and the men with him could wash their feet. ³³ Then ·Laban gave the servant food [^Lthe food was set before him], but the servant said, “I will not eat until I have told you why I came.”

So Laban said, “Then tell us.”
