And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

And Michael, and Ispah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah;

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

ya ukthaa kevalaa dadhe yaH somaM dhRSitaapibat

For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

asmabhyaM sharma sapratho gave .ashvaaya yachata

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

shuciS Tvam asi priyo na mitro dakSaayyo aryamevaasi soma

vishvo yasya vrate jano daadhaara dharmaNas pateH

diidivaaMsam apuurvyaM vasviibhir asya dhiitibhiH

So there was a division among the people because of him.

nahi Smaa te shataM cana raadho varanta aamuraH

akarmaa dasyur abhi no amantur anyavrato amaanuSaH

pari vishvaani kaavyaa nemish cakram ivaabhavat

aavRkSam anyaasaaM varco raadho astheyasaam iva

Eleazar begat Phinehas, Phinehas begat Abishua,

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

vRthaa kriiLanta indavaH sadhastham abhy ekam it

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
