for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.

For so I was ordered by the word of the Lord, who said, You are not to take food or a drink of water, and you are not to go back the way you came.

διοτι ουτως ειναι προστεταγμενον εις εμε δια του λογου του Κυριου, λεγοντος, Μη φαγης αρτον και μη πιης υδωρ και μη επιστρεψης δια της οδου, δια της οποιας ηλθες.

For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
