But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have hidden stores in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and did not kill them among their brethren.

and they departed, and dwelt at Geruth-Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
