PleaseH4994, let me escapeH4422 thereH8033 (is it not smallH4705?) 2that my lifeH5315 may be savedH2421.” 21He saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, I grantH5375 you thisH2088 3requestH1697 alsoH1571, not to overthrowH2015 the townH5892 of whichH834 you have spokenH1696. 22HurryH4116, escapeH4422 thereH8033, for I cannotH3201H3808 doH6213 anythingH1697 untilH5704 you arriveH935 thereH8033.” ThereforeH5921H3651 the nameH8034 of the townH5892 was calledH7121 45ZoarH6820.
