Thematic Bible: On errands requiring despatch


Thematic Bible



Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.


The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:

My days go quicker than a post-runner: they go in flight, they see no good.
