1
In the morning before entering the city, I gathered my family together consisting of my seven wives, my fifty daughters, my twelve adopted sons and three hundred and fifty menservants whom Shem had sent with me with their families, being in all six thousand three hundred and seventy souls.
2
And I said unto them, Behold, this great city is steeped in wickedness and sin for the secret combination which was from the beginning doth here hold sway.
3
Wherefore, ye shall remain here under the direction of Eliezer while I go alone into the city unto my father's house for the Lord God of Shem and of Noah hath promised me that he will protect me against the anger of the king such that I shall be able to accomplish my mission.
4
I led my family in prayer before the Lord, kissed them all and departing from them entered into the city.
