19So he departedH1980 from thereH8033 and foundH4672 ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 while he was plowingH2790, with twelveH8147H6240 yokeH6776 of oxen in frontH6440 of him, and he with the twelfthH8147H6240. And ElijahH452 cameH5674 overH5674 to him and threwH7993 1his cloakH155 on him.
20Then he leftH5800 the oxenH1241 behindH5800 and ranH7323 afterH310 ElijahH452, and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 2let me kissH5401 my fatherH1 and my motherH517, then I will followH1980H310 you.” And he saidH559 to him, “GoH1980 backH7725, for 3whatH4100 have I doneH6213 to you?”
21So he returnedH7725 from followingH310 him, and tookH3947 the pairH6776 of oxenH1241 and sacrificedH2076 them, and 4cookedH1310 their meatH1320 with the implementsH3627 of the oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 it to the peopleH5971 and they ateH398. Then he gotH6965 upH6965 and followedH1980H310 ElijahH452 and servedH8334 him.
