English Standard Version Anglicised
6 And the priest said to them, (A)“Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the Lord.”
7 Then the five men departed and came to (B)Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, (C)quiet and unsuspecting, lacking[a] nothing that is in the earth and possessing wealth, and how (D)they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. 8 And when they came to their brothers at (E)Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, “What do you report?”
