⁵ And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

¹⁷ And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named Succoth.

⁶ God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,

⁴ Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.

¹⁸ Then Abigail quickly took two hundred cakes of bread and two skins full of wine and five sheep ready for cooking and five measures of dry grain and a hundred parcels of dry grapes and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them on asses.

²⁸ Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

²⁹ And honey and butter and sheep and milk-cheeses, for David and his people: for they said, This people is in the waste land, needing food and drink and rest.

⁶ Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:

⁷ For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

⁸ So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.
