Commentary
If a person is returning from a long journey and the wife is not aware of his return, he should then not come home at night, because righteous ladies do not adorn and beautify themselves while the husband is on a journey. If the husband arrives suddenly and the wife is untidy, her clothes are unclean, hair is dishevelled it might create dislike in his heart, but if the arrival is known then there is no harm.
