Yet as for Ishmael, I have heard thee; o! I have blessed trim and will make him fruitful, and multiply him, exceedingly,—twelve princes, shall he beget, and I will grant him to be a great nation;
Behold me! sending my messenger, who will prepare a way before me,— and, suddenly, shall come to his temple The Lord whom ye are seeking, even the messenger of the covenant in whom ye are delighting, Lo! he cometh! saith Yahweh of hosts.
Then came the messenger of Yahweh, and sat down under the oak which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash, the Abiezrite; and, Gideon his son, was beating out wheat in the winepress, to escape the notice of the Midianites;
and went and sat her down over against him at a distance like as of such as draw the bow, for she said Let me not look upon the death of the child,—So she sat down over against him, and the boy lifted up his voice, and wept
In all their affliction, he, was afflicted And the messenger of his presence saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them,—And then lifted them up and carried them all the days of the age-past time.
