2. He said, “I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
3. Therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
4. And prepare for me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die.”
