9. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was questioning him, saying, What is your name? And he says to him, Legion [is] my name, for we are many!
10. And he begged Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach again and again not to exorcise him and banish him from that place.
11. Now there was a large herd of chazirim feeding nearby on the hillside.
