And the days of Israel drew near for him to die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If I have found favor before you, put your hand under my thigh, and you shall execute mercy and truth toward me, so as not to bury me in Egypt.

And the men said to her, Our life for yours, [even] unto death. And she said, When the Lord has delivered the city to you, you shall deal mercifully and truly with me.

Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which You have wrought with Your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; but bind them about your neck:

We will pass through your land. We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern; we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed your borders.

I will pass through your land; I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
