STEP #8: THE BRIDEGROOM DEPARTED THE BRIDE AND WENT BACK TO THE FATHER’S HOUSE TO PREPARE THE BRIDAL CHAMBER

At this point, the bridegroom leaves for his father’s house to prepare the bridal chamber for his bride. It was understood to be the man’s duty to go away to be with his father, build the house, and prepare for the eventual wedding.

Before he goes, he will make a statement to his bride, “I go to prepare a place for you; if I go, I will return again unto you”.
