This our bread, took we, hot, for our provision, out of our houses, on the day we came forth to journey unto you,—but, now, lo! it is dry, yea it is broken;
So our elders and all the inhabitants of our land spake unto us, saying—Take ye, in your hand, provision for the journey, and go your way to meet them,—then shall ye say unto them, Your servants, we are. Now, therefore, solemnise with us a covenant.
and, these leathern wine bottles, which we filled new, lo! also, they are rent,—and, as for these our mantles and our sandals, they are worn out, by reason of the very long journey.
