33. All her companions and the onlookers were weeping.

34. In the midst of the people the two old men rose up and laid their hands on her head.

35. As she wept she looked up to heaven, for she trusted in the Lord wholeheartedly.

36. The old men said, “As we were walking in the garden alone, this woman entered with two servant girls, shut the garden gates and sent the servant girls away.

37. A young man, who was hidden there, came and lay with her.
