EHUD THE SAVIOUR
And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh and Yah Veh raises them a saviour - Ehud the son of Gera - a Ben Yaminiy - a man shut of his right hand: and by his hand the sons of Yisra El send an offering to Eglon the sovereign of Moab; 16 and Ehud works a sword of two edges; a span long; and he girds it under his tailoring on his right flank. 17 And he oblates the offering to Eglon sovereign of Moab - Eglon is a mighty fat man. 18 And when he finishes oblating the offering he sends away the people who bear the offering. 19 But he himself turns from the sculptiles by Gilgal and says, I have a covert word to you, O sovereign. He says, Hush! - and all who stand by him go from him. 20 And Ehud comes to him; and he settles in an upper room of cooling which he has for himself alone. And Ehud says, I have a word from Elohim to you! - and he rises from his throne. 21 And Ehud sends his left and takes the sword from his right flank and stakes it into his belly: 22 and the handle also goes in after the blade; and the fat shuts through the blade so that he cannot draw the sword from his belly; and it comes out at the anus. 23 Then Ehud goes through the portico and shuts the doors of the upper room on him and encloses them. 24 And he goes, and his servants come; and they see, behold, the doors of the upper room are enclosed, they say, Surely he covers his feet in his cooling chamber. 25 And they wait until they shame: and behold, he opens not the doors of the upper room; and they take the key and open: and behold, their adoni fallen down on the earth - dead. 26 And as they linger Ehud escapes and passes beyond the sculptiles and escapes to Seirah: 27 and so be it, when he comes, he blasts a shophar in the mountain of Ephrayim and the sons of Yisra El descend the mount with him - with him at their face. 28 And he says to them, Pursue after me: for Yah Veh gives your enemies the Moabiy into your hand. - and they descend after him and capture the passages of Yarden toward Moab and allow not a man to pass over. 29 And at that time they smite about ten thousand men of Moab - all fat - all men of valour; and not a man escapes. 30 So Moab is subdued that day under the hand of Yisra El. - and the land rests eighty years.
