And he went in unto her that night. Now Reuel arose in the night and bade his servants dig a grave by night, saying, If the youth is dead, we will bury him in the night, so that no man know it, and there will be no reproach to us. And Reuel called Ednah his wife, and said to her, Send one of the maids to the chamber, that she may see whether he be alive; for if not, we will bury him before the light of morning, and no man shall know it.
So Ednah sent the maid to the chamber, and she looked, and behold they were both of them asleep together in peace and joy. And she came forth and told them, and said to them, He liveth. Then they blessed the Lord the great God; and Reuel said, Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers, who hast shewn us this great kindness, for it is thou, O Lord, who smitest and healest, and killest and makest alive, who hast wrought this wonder with these twain, and thou livest and art established for ever and ever. Then Reuel said to his servants, Cover the grave before the morning, so that no man know it. And he bade them prepare a great feast with joy, for God had made them glad with the abundance of his mercy and kindness.
