Genesis 24:54-56

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵⁴ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me back to my master.” ⁵⁵ Her brother and her mother said, “Let the maiden remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go.” ⁵⁶ But he said to them, “Do not delay me, since the Lord has prospered my way; let me go that I may go to my master.”
