Genesis 40:19New Century VersionBefore the end of three days, the king will cut off your head! He will hang your body on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh.” See the chapter |
Aiah’s daughter Rizpah took the rough cloth that was worn to show sadness and put it on a rock for herself. She stayed there from the beginning of the harvest until the rain fell on her sons’ bodies. During the day she did not let the birds of the sky touch her sons’ bodies, and during the night she did not let the wild animals touch them.
