19:20

19:19	I have found favor in your eyes, and you have been very kind in saving my life! But I cannot reach the hills to escape. The evil will overtake me and I will die! Hineh-na matsa avdechah chen-be'eyneycha vatagdel chasdecha asher asita imadi lehachayot et-nafshi ve'anochi lo uchal lehimalet haharah pen-tidbakani hara'ah vamati.
19:20	Please, there is a city here close enough for refuge. It is insignificant! I will flee there - isn't it insignificant? - and I will survive.' Hineh-na ha'ir hazot kerovah lanus shamah vehi mits'ar imaletah na shamah halo mits'ar hi utechi nafshi.
