'Answer' in the Bible

And he said to her, "Stand [at] the doorway of the tent, and if anyone comes and asks you, and says, 'Is there anyone here?' You must answer, 'No.'"

The wisest of her ladies answer her; she also answers the question herself:

And he said to her, "Get up, let us go," but there was no answer. So he put her on the donkey, and the man got up and went to his place.
