“Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.”
Do not depart from here, I pray, until I bring out my present, and set it before you.' And he said, 'I will stay until you return.' — Gideon's hospitality offer—providing a meal for the angel—reflects ancient Near Eastern courtesy protocol. The angel's acceptance indicates willingness to remain for the sign request.
