when thou hast stayed three days - either with your family at Beth-lehem, or wherever you find it convenient.
come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand - Hebrew, “in the day,” or “time of the business,” when the same matter was under inquiry formerly (1Sa 19:22).
remain by the stone Ezel - Hebrew, “the stone of the way”; a sort of milestone which directed travelers. He was to conceal himself in some cave or hiding-place near that spot.
