ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૧:૫
દાઉદે યાજકને ઉત્તર આપ્યો, “ત્રણ દિવસો દરમિયાન સ્ત્રીઓ ખરેખર અમારાથી દૂર રખાયેલી છે. જયારે હું બહાર નીકળ્યો, ત્યારે તે મુસાફરી ફક્ત સાધારણ હતી પણ યુવાનના પાત્રો પવિત્ર રહેલાં હતા. તો આજ તેમનાં શરીરો કેટલા વિશેષ પવિત્ર હશે?”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २१:५
दाऊद ने याजक को उत्तर देकर उससे कहा, “सच है कि हम तीन दिन से स्त्रियों से अलग हैं; फिर जब मैं निकल आता हूँ, तब जवानों के बर्तन पवित्र होते है ; यद्यपि यात्रा साधारण होती है, तो आज उनके बर्तन अवश्य ही पवित्र होंगे।”
