On the secondH8145 dayH3117 after the murderH4191 of GedaliahH1436, when noH3808 oneH376 yet knew about itH3045, 5eightyH8084H376 menH582 who had shaved offH1548 their beardsH2206, tornH7167 their garmentsH899, and cut themselvesH1413 cameH935 from ShechemH7927, ShilohH7887, and SamariaH8111, carryingH3027H935 grain offeringsH4503 and frankincenseH3828 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 6And IshmaelH3458 sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 went outH3318 fromH4480 MizpahH4709 to meet themH7122, weepingH1058H1961 as he wentH1980.
