⁴ And the woman taketh the two men, and hideth them, and saith thus: `The men came in unto me, and I have not known whence they [are];

⁵ and it cometh to pass -- the gate is to [be] shut -- in the dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known whither the men have gone; pursue ye, hasten after them, for ye overtake them;'
