rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'

And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle with water, and causeth the youth to drink;

and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;

and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
