17He saidH559, therefore, “I will sendH7971 you a 1youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 from the flockH6629.” She saidH559, moreover, “Will you giveH5414 a pledgeH6162 untilH5704 you sendH7971 it?” 18He saidH559, “WhatH4100 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 you?” And she saidH559, “2Your sealH2368 and your cordH6616, and your staffH4294 that is in your handH3027.” So he gaveH5414 them to her and wentH935 in to her, and she conceivedH2029 by him. 19Then she aroseH6965 and departedH1980, and 3removedH5493 her 4veilH6809 and putH3847 on her widow’sH491 garmentsH899.
