Genesis 28:20Bible in Basic English 1965Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on, See the chapter |
And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.
