8:12. For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her.
8:13. And when they had prepared the pit, Raguel went back to his wife, and said to her:
8:14. Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day.
8:15. So she sent one of her maidservants, who went into the chamber, and found them safe and sound, sleeping both together.
8:16. And returning she brought the good news: and Raguel and Anna his wife blessed the Lord,
8:17. And said: We bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because it hath not happened as we suspected.
8:18. For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us.
8:19. And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth.
8:20. And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit they had made, before it was day.
8:21. And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey.
