asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the
donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”
Then she
saddled an
ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward;
slack not thy riding for me, except I
bid thee.
Then she
saddled the
donkey and told her servant, “Drive
onward; do not slow the
pace for me unless I tell you.”
