| 21 | And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. | Meanwhile, the man watched her silently to see whether or not the LORD had made his journey a success. | And the man looked stedfastly on her, holding his peace, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not. |
