  • Hiligaynon: “But the Levite never agreed anymore, but-rather he and his wife set-out, with the two donkeys. (It was) already very late-afternoon when they arrived near Jebus (which is Jerusalem). Therefore the servant of the Levite said, ‘(It is) better maybe if we just sleep here in this city of the Jebusnon.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Late in the afternoon, they came near to Jebus. The servant said to his master, ‘We should stop in this city where the Jebus people-group live, and stay here tonight.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
