They will say to you, ‘The female donkeys that you went to search for have been found.’ Now look, your father is no longer concerned about[b] the female donkeys and has begun worrying about you,[c] saying, ‘What should I do about my son?’ Then you will go on from there and further you will come to the oak of Tabor.

They will ask how you are doing[d] and will give you two loaves, which you will take from their hand.
