And hee said vnto him, Behold, here am I. 2And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death. 3Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiuer, and thy bow, and goe out to the field, and take mee some venison. 4And make me sauoury meat, such as I loue, and bring it to mee, that I may eate, that my soule may blesse thee before I die.
