Exegesis
Finally, the imperfect jussive veyitav libbekha {וְיִטַ֥ב לִבֶּֽךָ | wəyittāḇ libbêḵā} ‘and let your heart be good’ conveys a blessing. English syntax consolidates these elements for clarity while preserving the temporal and hospitable flow of the Hebrew.
In context — Judges 19:6
So they sat down, and the two of them ate together and drank. Then the father of the young woman said to the man, “Please be willing to stay overnight, and let your heart be glad.”
