5and old and patched sandals upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.

9And they said to him, From a very far country are thy servants come, because of the name of Jehovah thy 1God; for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
