And they set out, so that they might enter into Gedor, as far as the eastern valley, and so that they might seek pastures for their flocks.

And they found fat and very good pastures, and a very wide and quiet and fruitful land, in which some from the stock of Ham had lived before.

41 Namoonni maqaan isaanii dhaʼame kunneen bara Hisqiyaas mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa dhufan. Isaan akkuma hamma harʼaatti illee mulʼatu qubata Kaamotaatii fi Meʼuunoota achi jiraachaa turanii dhaʼanii guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessan. Ergasiis sababii lafa dheedaa balʼaa bushaayee isaaniitiif argataniif lafa jaraa irra ni qubatan.

So then, those whose names have been written above, went forth in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And they struck down the inhabitants who had been found there with their dwellings.
