바로의 꿈
1그로부터 만 2년이 지난 후에 바로가 꿈을 꾸었다. 그가 나일 강가에 서서 보니
2건강하고 살진 암소 일곱 마리가 강에서 올라와 풀을 뜯어먹고 있었다.
3그 뒤에 흉측하고 뼈만 앙상하게 남은 다른 일곱 마리의 암소가 강에서 올라와 먼저 나온 소들과 함께 강변에 섰는데
4그 흉측하고 깡마른 소들이 건강하고 살진 소들을 먹어 버렸다. 그러고서 바로는 꿈에서 깨어났다.
5그는 다시 잠이 들어 두 번째 꿈을 꾸었는데 줄기 하나에 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭이 나오고
6그 후에 사막의 41:6 또는 ‘동풍’바람에 말라붙어 쭉정이가 된 다른 일곱 이삭이 그 줄기에서 나와
7먼저 나온 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭을 삼켜 버렸다. 그러고서 바로가 깨어 보니 그것이 꿈이었다.
8아침에 그는 번민하다가 이집트의 모든 마법사들과 지혜로운 자들을 불러 그들에게 자기 꿈을 말했으나 그 꿈을 해석하는 사람이 아무도 없었다.
9그러자 술 따르는 신하가 바로에게 말하였다. “내가 오늘 비로소 내 잘못을 기억합니다.
10폐하께서 빵 굽는 신하와 나에게 노하셔서 우리를 경호대장의 집에 가두셨을 때
11우리가 같은 날 밤에 서로 다른 꿈을 꾸게 되었는데
12그 곳에 경호대장의 종으로 있던 히브리 청년이 우리와 함께 있었습니다. 그래서 우리가 그에게 우리 꿈 이야기를 했더니 그가 우리 꿈을 각각 해석해 주었습니다.
13결국 그의 해몽대로 나는 복직이 되고 빵 굽던 신하는 나무에 달려 처형되었습니다.”
14바로가 요셉을 데려오라고 사람을 보내자 그들이 급히 그를 감옥에서 데려왔다. 요셉은 곧 수염을 깎고 옷을 갈아 입은 다음 바로 앞에 나왔다.
15이때 바로가 요셉에게 “내가 꿈을 꾸었는데 그것을 해석해 줄 사람이 아무도 없다. 그러나 나는 네가 꿈을 잘 해석한다는 말을 들었다” 하고 말하였다.
16그래서 요셉은 “나는 할 수 없지만 하나님이 왕에게 그 꿈의 뜻을 말씀해 주실 것입니다” 하고 대답하였다.
17그러자 바로가 요셉에게 말하였다. “내가 꿈에 나일 강가에 서서
18보니 건강하고 살진 암소 일곱 마리가 강에서 올라와 풀을 뜯어먹고 있었다.
19그 뒤에 흉측하고 뼈만 앙상하게 남은 다른 일곱 마리의 암소가 강에서 올라왔는데 그것들은 내가 이집트의 그 어느 곳에서도 보지 못한 아주 흉측한 소들이었다.
20그 흉측하고 깡마른 소들이 먼저 올라온 살진 소들을 먹었으나
21먹은 것 같지 않아 여전히 흉측하게 보였다. 그러고서 내가 꿈에서 깨어났다.
22잠시 후 나는 다시 잠이 들었는데 꿈에 보니 줄기 하나에 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭이 나오고
23그 후에 사막의 바람에 말라붙어 쭉정이가 된 다른 일곱 이삭이 그 줄기에서 나와
24먼저 나온 무성하고 알찬 일곱 이삭을 삼켜 버렸다. 내가 그 꿈을 마법사들에게 말했으나 그것을 설명하는 자가 아무도 없었다.”
25그러자 요셉이 바로에게 말하였다. “그 두 가지 꿈은 한 가지 일을 뜻합니다. 하나님이 앞으로 일어날 일을 왕에게 보이신 것입니다.
26일곱 마리의 살진 소는 7년을 가리키며 일곱 개의 알찬 이삭도 7년을 말합니다. 그래서 그 꿈은 동일한 것입니다.
27그 후에 올라온 여위고 흉측한 소도 7년을 가리키며 사막의 바람에 말라붙어 쭉정이가 된 그 일곱 이삭은 7년 동안의 기근을 뜻합니다.
28내가 왕에게 말씀드린 대로 바로 이것이 하나님께서 왕에게 보여 주신 앞으로 일어날 일입니다.
29앞으로 7년 동안 이집트 전역에 큰 풍년이 있을 것입니다.
30그러나 그 후 7년 동안은 흉년이 들 것이며 흉년으로 풍요롭던 시절은 다 잊혀지고 이 땅은 황폐해질 것입니다.
31그 기근이 너무 심하므로 이 땅에서 이전의 풍년을 기억하지 못할 것입니다.
32왕이 꿈을 두 번 연달아 꾸신 것은 하나님이 이 일을 정하셨으며 그 일을 속히 행하실 것을 뜻합니다.
33“이제 왕은 총명하고 지혜로운 사람을 택하여 나라 일을 맡겨야 합니다.
34-35행정 구역을 다섯으로 나누고 각 구역 마다 관리를 두어 풍년이 든 7년 동안에 41:34-35 또는 ‘수확의 1/5’잉여 농산물을 모조리 거두어 왕의 권한으로 각 성의 창고에 비축해 두십시오.
36이와 같이 식량을 비축해 두시면 앞으로 이집트 땅에 7년 동안 흉년이 들어도 41:36 또는 ‘땅이 이 흉년을 인하여 멸망치 아니하리라’백성들이 굶어 죽지는 않을 것입니다.”
이집트의 국무총리가 된 요셉
37바로와 그의 모든 신하들은 요셉의 제안을 좋게 여겼다.
38그래서 바로는 신하들에게 “하나님의 영이 충만한 이런 사람을 우리가 어디서 만날 수 있겠는가?” 하고
39요셉에게 이렇게 말하였다. “하나님이 이 모든 일을 너에게 알게 하셨으니 너처럼 총명하고 지혜로운 사람이 없구나.
40너는 내 나라를 다스려라. 내 백성이 다 네 명령에 복종할 것이다. 내가 너보다 높은 것은 이 왕좌뿐이다.”
41그러고서 바로는 요셉에게 “내가 너를 이집트 전국을 다스릴 총리로 임명한다” 하며
42자기 인장 반지를 빼어 요셉의 손가락에 끼워 주고 그에게 고운 모시 옷을 입히며 금사슬을 그의 목에 걸어 주었다.
43그리고 왕은 그를 궁중 2호 수레에 태웠으며 그가 가는 곳마다 의전관이 “엎드려라!” 하고 외쳤다. 이렇게 해서 요셉은 이집트의 국무총리가 되었다.
44그러고서 바로는 요셉에게 “나는 왕이다. 그러나 네 허락이 없이는 이집트 땅에서 손발을 놀릴 자가 없을 것이다” 하고
45그에게 ‘사브낫 – 바네아’ 라는 이집트 이름을 붙여 주고 또 41:45 히 ‘온’헬리오폴리스의 제사장인 보디베라의 딸 아스낫을 그에게 아내로 주었다.
46요셉이 이집트 왕 바로를 섬기기 시작했을 때는 그의 나이 30세였으며 그때부터 그는 이집트 전역을 순회하였다.
477년 동안의 풍년으로 그 땅에는 농산물이 엄청나게 많았다.
48그래서 요셉은 7년 동안 그 모든 곡식을 거두어 각 성에 비축했는데 각 성의 주변 밭에서 난 곡식은 그 성에 저장하도록 하였다.
49이와 같이 요셉이 거두어 저장한 곡식이 바다의 모래처럼 많아 비축량을 계산할 수가 없었다.
50흉년이 들기 전에 헬리오폴리스의 제사장인 보디베라의 딸 아스낫이 요셉에게 두 아들을 낳아 주었다.
51요셉은 장남의 이름을 41:51 ‘잊어버린다’ 는뜻.므낫세라고 짓고 “하나님께서 나의 모든 고난과 내 아버지의 집안 식구들을 잊어버리게 하셨다” 하였으며
52또 둘째 아들의 이름은 41:52 ‘자식을주셨다’ 는뜻.에브라임이라고 짓고 “내가 고생하는 땅에서 하나님이 나에게 자식을 주셨다” 하였다.
53이집트 땅에 7년 동안의 풍년이 끝나고
54요셉의 말대로 7년 흉년이 시작되었다. 이때 다른 나라에는 기근이 들어 굶주렸으나 이집트 전역에는 식량이 있었다.
55그러나 이집트에도 서서히 기근이 찾아들자 백성들은 바로에게 식량을 달라고 부르짖었다. 그래서 바로는 모든 이집트 사람들에게 요셉에게 가서 그가 시키는 대로 하라고 하였다.
56이집트 전국에 기근이 더욱 심각해지자 요셉은 모든 창고를 열고 이집트 사람들에게 곡식을 팔았다.
57그리고 기근이 온 세상을 휩쓸고 있었으므로 다른 나라 사람들도 요셉에게 곡식을 사려고 이집트로 몰려들었다.

A Warning Against Hypocrisy
1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5“Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries23:5 That is, boxes containing Scripture verses, worn on forehead and arm wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
8“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
13“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. 1423:14 Some manuscripts include here words similar to Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47.
15“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.
16“Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
23“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
33“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.
37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’23:39 Psalm 118:26”

1我保罗和提摩太是基督耶稣的奴仆,写信给腓立比属于基督耶稣的众圣徒,诸位监督和执事.
2愿我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安!
感恩和祷告
3我每逢想起你们,就感谢我的上帝. 4每次为你们众人祷告的时候,我心里都很喜乐. 5因为你们从开始直到现在,一直和我同心合意地传扬福音. 6我深信,上帝既然在你们心里开始了这美好的工作,祂必在耶稣基督再来的时候完成这工作. 7我对你们众人有这样的感受是很自然的,因为我常把你们放在心上1:7 “我常把你们放在心上”或译“你们常把我放在心上”..不论我是身在狱中,还是为福音辩护和作证的时候,你们都与我同蒙恩典. 8上帝可以作证,我是怎样以基督耶稣的慈爱之心想念你们.
9我所祈求的就是:你们的爱心随着属灵知识的增加和辨别力的提高而日益增长, 10使你们知道怎样择善而从,做诚实无过的人,一直到基督再来的日子, 11并靠着耶稣基督结满仁义的果子,使上帝得到荣耀与颂赞.
为基督而活
12弟兄姊妹,我希望你们知道,我的遭遇反而会使福音传得更广, 13连所有的皇家卫兵和其他众人都知道我是为了基督的缘故而受囚禁. 14大多数主内的弟兄姊妹看见我为主被囚,信心受到鼓舞,更加放胆无惧地传扬上帝的道. 15当然,有些人宣讲基督是出于嫉妒和争强好胜,也有些人是出于善意. 16后者是出于爱心,知道我是上帝派来维护福音的. 17前者传讲基督是出于个人野心,动机不纯,以为可以增加我在狱中的痛苦. 18那又怎样呢?无论他们传福音是真心还是假意,基督的福音毕竟传开了,因此我很欢喜,而且欢喜不已. 19因为我知道,借着你们的祷告和耶稣基督之灵的帮助,我终会得到释放.
20我殷切地期待和盼望:我不会感到任何羞愧,而是放胆无惧,不管是生是死,都要一如既往地使基督在我身上得到尊崇. 21因为对我来说,活着是为了基督,死了也有益处. 22如果活在世上,我可以做工,多结果子.我真不知道该怎么选择! 23我处在两难之间.我情愿离开世界,与基督在一起,那实在是再好不过了. 24可是为了你们,我应该活在世上. 25我既然对此深信不疑,就知道自己仍要活下去,继续跟你们在一起,好使你们在信仰上又长进又充满喜乐. 26这样,我再到你们那里的时候,你们可以因为我的缘故更加以基督耶稣为荣.
27最要紧的是:你们行事为人要与基督的福音相称.这样,不管是去看你们,还是只听到你们的消息,我都能知道你们同心合意,坚定不移地一起为福音奋斗, 28毫不惧怕敌人的恐吓.这清楚表明他们必灭亡,你们必得救,这是出于上帝. 29因为上帝为了基督的缘故,赐恩使你们不但信基督,而且为祂受苦, 30经历你们从前在我身上见过,现在又从我这里听到的同样争战.

焼き尽くすいけにえ
1さて主は,幕屋(主がイスラエル人と会う天幕,聖所)からモーセに語りました. 2-3「イスラエルの民に次のような指示を与えなさい.主にいけにえをささげるときは,自分の群れの牛か羊を使いなさい.雄牛を焼き尽くすいけにえとしてささげるときは,体に傷のないものでなければならない.まず,いけにえ用の雄牛を幕屋の入口へ引いて来る.そこで,祭司がそのささげ物を受け取る. 4いけにえをささげる人は,その雄牛の頭に手を置く.そうすることで,身代わりのいけにえと認められる.本人が自分の罪の刑罰として死ぬ代わりにその動物が死ぬことを,わたしは認めよう. 5わたしの前で,自ら手を下していけにえを殺しなさい.祭司であるアロンの子たちが,その雄牛の血をわたしにささげる.幕屋の入口で,祭壇の回りに血を振りかけるのだ. 6-7続いて,皮をはいで四肢に分け,祭司が祭壇に火を置き,たきぎを並べ, 8ばらした部分と頭と脂肪を載せる. 9そのとき,内臓と足は,いけにえをささげる本人がきれいに洗う.祭司はそれをみな祭壇の上で焼く.これが,主に受け入れられる,焼き尽くすいけにえである.
10焼き尽くすいけにえにする動物が,羊かやぎの場合は,傷のない雄でなければならない. 11いけにえをささげる人は,祭壇の北側で,わたしの前でそれを殺す.祭司であるアロンの子らが,その血を祭壇の回りに振りかける. 12その人は死体を四肢に分け,祭司はそれを頭や脂肪といっしょに祭壇のたきぎに載せる. 13その前に,内臓と足は,いけにえをささげる人自身が水で洗う.祭司は主へのささげ物として,その動物をみな祭壇で焼く.焼き尽くすいけにえをわたしは喜ぶ.
14鳥を使う場合は,山鳩か家鳩のひなのどちらかにしなさい. 15-17祭司はそれを祭壇へ持って行き,首をひねって殺し,血は祭壇の横に絞り出す.餌袋(胃袋)と羽毛は祭壇の東側の灰捨て場に捨てる.このあと翼をつかんで引き裂くが,ばらばらにしてはならない.それを祭壇で焼く.わたしはこのいけにえを喜ぶ.

上帝呼召亚伯兰
1耶和华对亚伯兰说:“你要离开家乡,亲族和父亲的家,到我要指示你的地方去. 2我必使你成为大国,我必赐福给你,使你声名远播.你必成为别人的祝福. 3我必赐福给那些祝福你的人,咒诅那些咒诅你的人.世上万族必因你而蒙福.”
4亚伯兰就照耶和华的吩咐离开哈兰,侄儿罗得与他同行.那时亚伯兰七十五岁. 5亚伯兰带着妻子撒莱,侄儿罗得以及在哈兰积攒的财物和所得的奴仆启程来到迦南.到了迦南以后, 6亚伯兰继续前行,来到示剑的摩利橡树12:6 “橡树”希伯来文是“大树”,也可能指灵树或圣树,下同13:18;14:13;18:1;35:4;35:8.那里.当时迦南人住在那地方. 7耶和华向亚伯兰显现,对他说:“我要把这片土地赐给你的后裔.”亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛. 8然后,他们又启程前往伯特利东面的山区,在那里搭起帐篷.他们的西面是伯特利,东面是艾.亚伯兰又在那里筑了一座坛,求告耶和华. 9之后,亚伯兰继续前往南地.
亚伯兰逃荒到埃及
10当时,那地方闹饥荒,灾情非常严重,亚伯兰便下到埃及暂住. 11快要到埃及的时候,他对妻子撒莱说:“我知道你是个美貌的女子, 12埃及人看见你,一定会因为你是我的妻子而杀了我,让你活着. 13所以,请你说你是我的妹妹,这样他们会因为你而善待我,留我一命.” 14亚伯兰一行到了埃及,撒莱的美貌引起了埃及人的注意. 15法老的官员见了撒莱,就在法老面前称赞她的美貌,她便被带进法老的王宫. 16因为撒莱的缘故,法老厚待亚伯兰,赏给他许多牛,羊,驴,骆驼和仆婢.
17耶和华因亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故使法老和他全家患重病. 18法老便召见亚伯兰,说:“你做的是什么事?为什么不告诉我她是你妻子? 19为什么说她是你妹妹,以致我娶她为妻呢?现在你妻子在这里,带她走吧!” 20法老就吩咐人把亚伯兰,他妻子以及他所有的一切都送走了.

塞鲁士下令犹太人回国
1波斯王塞鲁士元年,耶和华为要应验祂借耶利米所说的话,就感动波斯王塞鲁士,使他下诏通告全国:
2“波斯王塞鲁士如此说,‘天上的上帝耶和华已把天下万国都赐给我,祂吩咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为祂建造殿宇. 3你们当中凡是耶和华的子民,都可以去犹大的耶路撒冷,为住在耶路撒冷的以色列的上帝耶和华建殿,愿上帝与他们同在! 4凡留下不回国的人,无论住在哪里,都要用金银,财物和牲畜帮助同区那些将要回国的人,此外还要为耶路撒冷的上帝的殿献上自愿献的礼物.’”
5于是,犹大和便雅悯的族长,祭司和利未人——所有被上帝感动的人都准备上耶路撒冷重建耶和华的殿. 6他们周围的人除了献上自愿献的礼物外,还拿出银器,金子,财物,牲畜和珍宝来支持他们. 7巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒曾从耶路撒冷耶和华的殿里带回珍贵的器皿,放在自己神明的庙里.波斯王塞鲁士将这些器皿取出来, 8派财政大臣米提利达如数交给犹大的首领设巴萨: 9三十个金盘,一千个银盘,二十九把刀, 10三十个金碗,四百一十个次等银碗及一千件其他器皿, 11共有五千四百件金银器皿.被掳者从巴比伦上耶路撒冷时,设巴萨把这些器皿一并带去.

1我這作長老的寫信給蒙揀選的女士1·1 學者一般認為「蒙揀選的女士」是指教會.和你的兒女,就是我本著真理所愛的.你們不單是我所愛的,也是一切認識真理的人所愛的. 2我們愛你們,因為真理在我們裡面,並且永遠與我們同在.
3從父上帝和祂兒子耶穌基督而來的恩典,憐憫和平安也必在真理和愛中與我們同在!
彼此相愛
4你的兒女當中有人按照我們從父領受的命令遵行真理,我知道後非常欣慰. 5女士啊,我現在勸你,我們大家要彼此相愛.這不是新命令,而是我們從起初就已經領受的命令. 6愛就是遵行上帝的命令,這是你們從起初就聽過又當遵行的命令.
提防騙子
7因為現在世上有許多騙子出來迷惑人,他們否認耶穌基督曾降世為人.這樣的人是騙子,是敵基督者. 8你們要謹慎,好得到完滿的賞賜,免得我們前功盡棄. 9誰偏離基督的教導,誰心中就沒有上帝;誰遵守基督的教導,誰就有父和子與他同在. 10若有人到你們那裡不傳基督的教導,不要請他到家裡,也不要問候他, 11因為問候他就是與他同流合污.
結語
12我還有許多事要告訴你們,但不想藉助紙墨,而是希望有機會到你們那裡與你們當面暢談,使我們充滿喜樂.
13你那蒙揀選之姊妹的兒女問候你.

13ኢያሱ እግዚአብሔር ባዘዘው መሠረት፣ ከይሁዳ ድርሻ ላይ ከፍሎ ኬብሮን የተባለችውን ቂርያት አርባቅን ለዮፎኒ ልጅ ለካሌብ ሰጠው፤ አርባቅም የዔናቅ አባት ነበረ። 14ካሌብም ሦስቱን የዔናቅን ዘሮች ሴሲንን፣ አኪመንንና ተላሚንን ከኬብሮን አሳደዳቸው፤ 15ከዚያም በዳቤር ሕዝብ ላይ ዘመተ፤ ዳቤር ቀድሞ ቂርያትሤፍር ትባል ነበር። 16ካሌብ፣ “ቂርያትሤፍርን ወግቶ ለሚይዝ ሰው ልጄን ዓክሳን እድርለታለሁ” አለ። 17ስለዚህ የካሌብ ወንድም የቄኔዝ ልጅ ጎቶንያል ከተማዪቱን ያዛት፤ ካሌብም ልጁን ዓክሳን ዳረለት።
18ዓክሳ ወደ ጎቶንያል በመጣች ጊዜም፣ ከአባትዋ ላይ የእርሻ መሬት እንዲለምን አጥብቃ ነገረችው።15፥18 ዕብራይስጥና አንዳንድ የሰብዓ ሊቃናት ትርጒሞች ከዚህ ጋር ይስማማሉ፤ ብዙ የሰብዓ ሊቃናት ትርጒሞች ግን (መሳ 1፥14 ይመ) አጥብቆ ነገራት ያላሉ። ከአህያዋ ላይ እንደ ወረደች ካሌብ፣ “ምን እንዳደርግልሽ ትፈልጊያለሽ?” ሲል ጠየቃት።
19እርስዋም፣ “እባክህ፤ በጎ ነገር አድርግልኝ፤ በኔጌብ መሬት እንደ ሰጠኸኝ ሁሉ፣ አሁንም የውሃ ምንጭ ጉድጓዶች ስጠኝ” አለችው፤ ካሌብም የላይኛውንና የታችኛውን ምንጮች ሰጣት።
