    22She called to her husband, and said, Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

    23He said, Why will you go to him today? it is neither new moon nor Sabbath. She said, It shall be well.

    30The mother of the child said, As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. He arose, and followed her.
