The scene

After hearing that a stranger helped his daughters, their father asks why they left him behind and tells them to invite him to eat.

The daughters call their helper an Egyptian in verse 19. Verse 21 identifies him as Moses and says he agrees to live with their father.

What does the father's invitation add to the daughters' account of being helped?
