Judith 13:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ who placed it in her food bag.

Judith and her servant escape to Bethulia

The two of them went out to pray, as was their habit. They walked through the camp, circled around the valley, went up the hill to Bethulia, and arrived at the city gates. ¹¹ From a distance Judith called out to the guards at the gate, “Open, open the gate! God, our God, is with us and is still demonstrating strength in Israel and power against our enemies! He has done so even today!”

¹² When the people in her city heard her voice, they hurried down to the city gate and called together the elders of the city.
