^{30 Ref} He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.

^{31 Ref} He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us instead of eyes.

^{32 Ref} It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you.
