And she will say to them, Go to the mountain, lest they pursuing shall meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days till they pursuing turn back: and afterward ye shall go to your way.

And the men say unto her, 'We are acquitted of this thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear:

But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.

So that this may be a sign among you; when your children say to you in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?
