28Moreover, it tookH1961 placeH1961 while she was givingH3205 birthH3205, one putH5414 out a handH3027, and the midwifeH3205 tookH3947 and tiedH7194 a scarletH8144 thread on his handH3027, sayingH559, “ThisH2088 oneH2088 cameH3318 out firstH7223.”

29But it cameH1961 about as he drewH7725 backH7725 his handH3027, that beholdH2009, his brotherH251 cameH3318 out. Then she saidH559, “WhatH4100 a breachH6556 you have madeH6555 for yourself!” So he was namedH7121H8034 12PerezH6557.
