00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.079
I<00:00:33.619><c> want</c><00:00:33.799><c> to</c><00:00:33.979><c> take</c><00:00:34.140><c> up</c><00:00:34.280><c> the</c><00:00:34.479><c> point</c><00:00:34.719><c> with</c><00:00:34.960><c> which</c><00:00:35.159><c> I</c><00:00:35.420><c> was</c><00:00:35.759><c> closing</c>

00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:41.899
because<00:00:39.479><c> it's</c><00:00:39.679><c> an</c><00:00:39.859><c> extremely</c><00:00:40.399><c> important</c><00:00:40.920><c> one,</c><00:00:41.159><c> not</c><00:00:41.359><c> only</c><00:00:41.600><c> in</c>

00:00:41.899 --> 00:00:43.000

00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:49.020
So<00:00:46.100><c> can</c><00:00:46.219><c> you</c><00:00:46.299><c> go</c><00:00:46.479><c> back</c><00:00:46.659><c> to</c><00:00:46.820><c> the</c><00:00:46.920><c> end</c><00:00:47.100><c> of</c><00:00:47.299><c> chapter</c><00:00:47.579><c> 1,</c><00:00:48.679><c> and</c><00:00:48.899><c> can</c>

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:53.259

Call<00:00:58.920><c> me</c><00:00:59.079><c> not</c><00:00:59.820><c> Naomi,</c><00:01:00.619><c> but</c>

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.500
call<00:01:01.020><c> me</c><00:01:01.340><c> Mara,</c><00:01:02.259><c> for</c><00:01:02.439><c> the</c><00:01:02.679><c> Almighty</c><00:01:03.100><c> hath</c><00:01:03.560><c> dealt</c><00:01:04.000><c> bitterly</c>

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.760
with<00:01:04.700><c> me,</c><00:01:05.620><c> talks</c><00:01:05.959><c> about</c><00:01:06.280><c> having</c><00:01:06.560><c> gone</c>

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.359
out<00:01:07.099><c> full</c><00:01:07.239><c> and</c><00:01:07.439><c> coming</c><00:01:07.760><c> back</c><00:01:08.040><c> empty</c><00:01:08.340><c> because</c><00:01:08.680><c> the</c><00:01:08.900><c> Lord</c><00:01:09.060><c> has</c>

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.140
made<00:01:09.659><c> it</c><00:01:09.980><c> so,</c><00:01:11.280><c> and</c><00:01:11.540><c> then</c><00:01:11.939><c> in</c><00:01:12.400><c> explanation</c>

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:20.500
says,<00:01:16.239><c> The</c><00:01:16.239><c> Lord</c><00:01:16.579><c> has</c><00:01:17.120><c> testified</c><00:01:17.799><c> against</c><00:01:18.340><c> me,</c><00:01:19.500><c> the</c><00:01:19.680><c> Almighty</c>

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:23.000
hath<00:01:21.620><c> afflicted</c><00:01:22.420><c> me.</c>

00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.239
And<00:01:23.599><c> I</c><00:01:23.739><c> was</c><00:01:23.920><c> saying</c><00:01:24.219><c> towards</c><00:01:24.620><c> the</c><00:01:24.780><c> end</c><00:01:24.920><c> yesterday</c><00:01:25.540><c> that</c><00:01:26.840><c> the</c>

00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:33.200
word<00:01:27.760><c> testified</c><00:01:28.900><c> can</c><00:01:30.780><c> be</c><00:01:31.439><c> rendered</c><00:01:32.159><c> answered.</c>

00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.620
Now<00:01:33.920><c> the</c><00:01:34.019><c> two</c><00:01:34.260><c> things</c><00:01:34.519><c> are</c><00:01:34.739><c> similar,</c><00:01:35.620><c> aren't</c><00:01:35.739><c> they?</c>

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.680
But<00:01:37.019><c> when</c><00:01:37.260><c> we</c><00:01:37.819><c> put</c><00:01:38.019><c> that</c><00:01:38.359><c> second</c><00:01:38.739><c> word</c><00:01:39.040><c> into</c><00:01:39.359><c> the</c><00:01:39.599><c> context,</c><00:01:40.659><c> it</c>

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.459
has<00:01:41.239><c> more</c><00:01:41.579><c> of</c><00:01:41.840><c> a</c><00:01:41.959><c> direct</c><00:01:42.359><c> thrust.</c>

00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:50.159
God<00:01:44.180><c> has</c><00:01:44.780><c> answered</c><00:01:45.359><c> me</c><00:01:46.260><c> by</c><00:01:47.000><c> what</c><00:01:47.200><c> has</c><00:01:47.459><c> happened,</c><00:01:48.299><c> and</c><00:01:49.700><c> in</c><00:01:49.939><c> the</c>

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:55.859
process,<00:01:53.340><c> He</c><00:01:53.500><c> has</c><00:01:53.959><c> afflicted</c><00:01:54.719><c> me,</c><00:01:55.680><c> and</c>

00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:57.780
there<00:01:56.079><c> has</c><00:01:56.340><c> been</c><00:01:56.700><c> bitterness.</c>

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:01.120
Now<00:01:58.819><c> I'd</c><00:01:59.219><c> like</c><00:01:59.260><c> to</c><00:01:59.439><c> think</c><00:01:59.620><c> about</c><00:01:59.859><c> that</c><00:02:00.060><c> a</c><00:02:00.159><c> little</c><00:02:00.319><c> bit</c><00:02:00.519><c> more</c><00:02:00.719><c> at</c>

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.180
the<00:02:01.599><c> beginning</c><00:02:01.980><c> of</c><00:02:02.299><c> our</c><00:02:02.780><c> session</c><00:02:03.239><c> today.</c>

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:13.500
You<00:02:05.799><c> see,</c><00:02:07.340><c> if</c><00:02:07.680><c> that</c><00:02:08.580><c> emphasis</c><00:02:09.199><c> is</c><00:02:09.639><c> correct,</c><00:02:11.139><c> what</c><00:02:11.319><c> it</c><00:02:11.539><c> is</c><00:02:11.960><c> inferring</c><00:02:12.900><c> is</c>

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:15.199
that<00:02:13.719><c> before</c><00:02:14.120><c> she</c><00:02:14.400><c> left</c><00:02:14.740><c> Israel</c>

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:22.120
at<00:02:15.400><c> the</c><00:02:15.620><c> time</c><00:02:15.819><c> of</c><00:02:16.020><c> the</c><00:02:16.199><c> famine,</c><00:02:17.819><c> her</c><00:02:18.139><c> attitude</c><00:02:18.819><c> too</c><00:02:19.740><c> was</c><00:02:21.419><c> one</c>

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.199
where<00:02:22.960><c> she</c><00:02:23.159><c> was</c><00:02:23.360><c> ready</c><00:02:23.599><c> to</c><00:02:23.780><c> look</c><00:02:24.000><c> elsewhere</c>

00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.840
for<00:02:26.259><c> the</c><00:02:26.840><c> support</c><00:02:27.400><c> that</c><00:02:27.639><c> the</c><00:02:27.840><c> family</c><00:02:28.319><c> needed.</c>

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.039
It<00:02:29.800><c> isn't</c><00:02:30.159><c> all</c><00:02:30.860><c> on</c><00:02:31.539><c> Elimelech's</c><00:02:32.819><c> shoulders.</c>

00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:42.500
God<00:02:35.300><c> has</c><00:02:35.719><c> answered</c><00:02:36.580><c> what</c><00:02:38.080><c> her</c><00:02:38.479><c> attitude</c><00:02:39.060><c> was</c><00:02:39.659><c> in</c><00:02:40.460><c> the</c><00:02:40.740><c> intervening</c><00:02:41.319><c> events.</c>

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.680
So<00:02:43.360><c> now</c><00:02:43.699><c> we</c><00:02:43.840><c> get</c><00:02:44.039><c> a</c><00:02:44.180><c> rather</c><00:02:44.419><c> different</c><00:02:44.719><c> picture</c><00:02:45.319><c> of</c><00:02:46.159><c> what</c><00:02:46.360><c> was</c>

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.199
involved<00:02:47.219><c> with</c><00:02:48.319><c> Naomi.</c>

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.180
Perhaps<00:02:50.259><c> she</c><00:02:50.599><c> too</c><00:02:51.539><c> had</c><00:02:52.580><c> a</c><00:02:52.879><c> feeling</c><00:02:53.219><c> of</c><00:02:53.560><c> self</c><00:02:53.939><c>-sufficiency,</c>

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:58.659
perhaps<00:02:55.939><c> the</c><00:02:56.180><c> family</c><00:02:56.560><c> wealth,</c><00:02:57.819><c> the</c><00:02:58.199><c> importance</c>

00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:01.819
of<00:02:58.759><c> their</c><00:02:59.000><c> situation</c><00:02:59.699><c> in</c><00:02:59.900><c> the</c><00:03:00.060><c> district</c><00:03:00.740><c> had</c><00:03:01.319><c> got</c><00:03:01.500><c> through</c><00:03:01.699><c> to</c>

00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:03.620
her<00:03:02.159><c> too.</c>

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:11.520
And<00:03:05.419><c> she</c><00:03:05.620><c> had</c><00:03:05.860><c> this</c><00:03:06.099><c> idea</c><00:03:06.580><c> that</c><00:03:07.319><c> this</c><00:03:08.139><c> might</c><00:03:08.419><c> well</c><00:03:08.860><c> see</c><00:03:09.120><c> her</c><00:03:09.460><c> through</c><00:03:10.000><c> the</c><00:03:10.800><c> period</c><00:03:11.180><c> of</c>

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.080
difficulty<00:03:12.280><c> caused</c>

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.379
by<00:03:13.400><c> the</c><00:03:13.620><c> famine.</c>

00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:20.180
What<00:03:14.919><c> I</c><00:03:15.099><c> think</c><00:03:15.379><c> maybe</c><00:03:16.500><c> we're</c><00:03:17.080><c> being</c><00:03:17.360><c> told</c><00:03:17.620><c> here</c><00:03:18.139><c> is</c><00:03:18.539><c> that</c><00:03:18.800><c> Naomi</c><00:03:19.680><c> is</c>

00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.960

00:15:58.700 --> 00:16:01.500
I'm<00:15:59.080><c> not</c><00:15:59.220><c> going</c><00:15:59.379><c> to</c><00:15:59.460><c> go</c><00:15:59.700><c> through</c><00:15:59.960><c> that</c><00:16:00.360><c> analysis</c><00:16:00.840><c> with</c><00:16:01.159><c> you.</c>

00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:57.460

00:20:57.460 --> 00:21:08.539
It<00:20:58.200><c> is</c><00:20:58.539><c> not,</c><00:20:59.500><c> as</c><00:21:00.079><c> verse</c><00:21:00.279><c> 20</c><00:21:00.839><c> in</c><00:21:01.539><c> the</c><00:21:01.680><c> same</c><00:21:06.960><c> chapter,</c><00:21:07.900><c> the</c><00:21:08.259><c> man</c>

00:21:10.420 --> 00:21:11.720
next<00:21:10.740><c> kinsmen.</c>

00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.400
That's<00:21:12.180><c> the</c><00:21:12.220><c> word</c><00:21:12.380><c> goel,</c><00:21:13.099><c> a</c><00:21:13.220><c> different</c><00:21:13.539><c> word</c><00:21:13.740><c> altogether.</c>

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:20.200
At<00:21:15.059><c> the</c><00:21:15.299><c> beginning</c><00:21:15.619><c> it's</c><00:21:15.900><c> just</c><00:21:16.519><c> someone</c><00:21:16.799><c> who's</c><00:21:17.099><c> known,</c><00:21:18.819><c> an</c><00:21:19.079><c> acquaintance</c><00:21:19.660><c> perhaps</c><00:21:20.000><c> as</c>

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.279
we<00:21:20.460><c> might</c><00:21:20.940><c> say.</c>

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:28.720
But<00:21:24.019><c> nevertheless,</c><00:21:25.640><c> there</c><00:21:25.720><c> is</c><00:21:25.960><c> a</c><00:21:26.200><c> connection</c><00:21:26.539><c> with</c><00:21:27.339><c> Elimelech.</c>

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.579
All<00:21:29.039><c> right.</c>

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.859
He's<00:21:30.380><c> described</c><00:21:30.900><c> as</c><00:21:31.680><c> a</c><00:21:31.940><c> man</c><00:21:32.319><c> of</c><00:21:32.839><c> wealth.</c>

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.980
Now<00:21:34.720><c> this</c><00:21:35.259><c> phrase</c><00:21:35.900><c> is</c><00:21:36.220><c> translated</c><00:21:36.539><c> in</c><00:21:36.779><c> all</c><00:21:37.000><c> kinds</c><00:21:37.380><c> of</c><00:21:37.559><c> ways</c><00:21:37.759><c> in</c>

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.940
our<00:21:38.119><c> Bible.</c>

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:42.579
It<00:21:39.480><c> seems</c><00:21:39.759><c> as</c><00:21:39.900><c> we</c><00:21:40.119><c> first</c><00:21:40.380><c> read</c><00:21:40.579><c> that</c><00:21:40.839><c> it's</c><00:21:41.000><c> just</c><00:21:41.220><c> a</c><00:21:41.359><c> rich</c><00:21:41.559><c> man.</c>

00:21:42.859 --> 00:21:44.640
And<00:21:43.079><c> that's</c><00:21:43.319><c> the</c><00:21:43.579><c> important</c><00:21:43.799><c> things</c><00:21:44.019><c> that</c><00:21:44.359><c> recorded.</c>

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:46.440
Don't<00:21:45.160><c> let's</c><00:21:45.400><c> be</c><00:21:45.539><c> misled</c><00:21:45.880><c> by</c><00:21:46.140><c> that.</c>

00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:50.779
The<00:21:46.819><c> relationship</c><00:21:47.500><c> between</c><00:21:47.980><c> wealth</c><00:21:48.619><c> and</c><00:21:49.900><c> other</c><00:21:50.220><c> things</c><00:21:50.559><c> in</c>

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:53.200
scripture<00:21:51.160><c> is</c><00:21:51.599><c> very</c><00:21:51.920><c> important.</c>

00:21:53.259 --> 00:21:56.019
It<00:21:53.299><c> comes</c><00:21:53.519><c> right</c><00:21:53.940><c> through</c><00:21:54.359><c> from</c><00:21:54.559><c> the</c><00:21:54.660><c> book</c><00:21:54.839><c> of</c><00:21:55.079><c> Genesis</c><00:21:55.619><c> when</c>

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:58.019
we're<00:21:56.200><c> talking</c><00:21:56.480><c> about</c><00:21:56.880><c> Abraham.</c>

00:21:58.420 --> 00:22:01.240
He<00:21:58.460><c> was</c><00:21:58.660><c> a</c><00:21:58.759><c> man</c><00:21:58.940><c> of</c><00:21:59.180><c> wealth</c><00:21:59.400><c> in</c><00:21:59.579><c> more</c><00:21:59.799><c> ways</c><00:22:00.059><c> than</c><00:22:00.299><c> one,</c><00:22:01.000><c> is</c><00:22:01.079><c> what</c>

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:02.299
the<00:22:01.420><c> scripture</c><00:22:01.660><c> shows</c><00:22:02.000><c> to</c><00:22:02.200><c> us.</c>

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.339
And<00:22:02.400><c> it's</c><00:22:02.579><c> the</c><00:22:02.720><c> same</c><00:22:02.880><c> here.</c>

00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:06.720
So<00:22:03.799><c> we</c><00:22:03.900><c> can</c><00:22:04.480><c> just</c><00:22:04.740><c> draw</c><00:22:04.940><c> quickly</c><00:22:05.240><c> to</c><00:22:05.460><c> your</c><00:22:05.660><c> attention</c><00:22:05.960><c> different</c><00:22:06.319><c> ways</c><00:22:06.559><c> in</c>

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.160
which<00:22:06.839><c> this</c><00:22:07.140><c> phrase</c><00:22:07.339><c> is</c><00:22:07.660><c> translated.</c>

00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:10.960
It<00:22:08.559><c> comes</c><00:22:08.779><c> perhaps</c><00:22:09.359><c> most</c><00:22:09.740><c> readily</c><00:22:09.960><c> to</c><00:22:10.220><c> our</c><00:22:10.460><c> minds</c><00:22:10.640><c> from</c><00:22:10.839><c> the</c>

00:22:12.900 --> 00:22:13.839
to<00:22:13.400><c> Gideon.</c>

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.339
And<00:22:14.079><c> he's</c><00:22:14.440><c> called</c><00:22:14.599><c> a</c><00:22:14.740><c> mighty</c><00:22:14.940><c> man</c><00:22:15.119><c> of</c><00:22:15.380><c> valor.</c>

00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.519
Although<00:22:16.500><c> at</c><00:22:16.660><c> the</c><00:22:16.839><c> time</c><00:22:17.160><c> he</c><00:22:17.359><c> was</c><00:22:17.759><c> hiding</c><00:22:18.079><c> away</c><00:22:18.559><c> in</c><00:22:18.859><c> the</c><00:22:19.240><c> wine</c>

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:27.140
And<00:22:24.619><c> when</c><00:22:24.859><c> he's</c><00:22:25.200><c> greeted</c><00:22:25.400><c> and</c><00:22:25.660><c> said,</c><00:22:26.079><c> thou</c><00:22:26.099><c> mighty</c><00:22:26.380><c> man</c><00:22:26.579><c> of</c><00:22:26.759><c> valor,</c><00:22:26.960><c> he</c>

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:32.920
Never<00:22:30.640><c> thought</c><00:22:30.880><c> of</c><00:22:31.039><c> himself</c><00:22:31.460><c> as</c><00:22:31.700><c> being</c><00:22:31.859><c> the</c><00:22:31.940><c> one</c><00:22:32.119><c> addressed</c>

The<00:45:30.539><c> greeting</c><00:45:30.960><c> daughter</c><00:45:31.420><c> in</c><00:45:31.739><c> verse</c><00:45:32.019><c> 8.</c>

00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.780
Oh,<00:45:35.000><c> as</c><00:45:35.139><c> said</c><00:45:35.280><c> to</c><00:45:35.480><c> Ruth,</c><00:45:36.400><c> hearest</c><00:45:36.659><c> thou</c><00:45:36.800><c> not</c><00:45:37.019><c> my</c><00:45:37.360><c> daughter?</c>

00:45:37.780 --> 00:45:42.900
He<00:45:38.139><c> gives</c><00:45:38.340><c> an</c><00:45:38.599><c> indication</c><00:45:39.039><c> that</c><00:45:39.219><c> there</c><00:45:39.420><c> may</c><00:45:39.739><c> be</c><00:45:41.260><c> a</c><00:45:42.559><c> difference</c>

in<00:45:43.179><c> age.</c>

00:45:43.539 --> 00:45:45.900
He<00:45:43.679><c> might</c><00:45:43.880><c> be</c><00:45:44.039><c> much</c><00:45:44.300><c> older</c><00:45:44.699><c> than</c><00:45:44.980><c> Ruth.</c>

00:45:45.980 --> 00:45:48.079
It's<00:45:46.219><c> a</c><00:45:46.320><c> matter,</c><00:45:46.539><c> I</c><00:45:46.639><c> think,</c><00:45:46.900><c> that's</c><00:45:47.179><c> confirmed</c><00:45:47.619><c> in</c><00:45:47.840><c> chapter</c>

00:45:49.539 --> 00:45:53.920
Blessed<00:45:49.800><c> be</c><00:45:50.119><c> thou</c><00:45:50.440><c> of</c><00:45:52.139><c> the</c><00:45:52.320><c> Lord</c><00:45:52.619><c> my</c><00:45:52.900><c> daughter.</c>

00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:59.199
Thou<00:45:54.239><c> has</c><00:45:54.480><c> not</c><00:45:54.880><c> followed</c><00:45:55.260><c> the</c><00:45:55.659><c> young</c><00:45:56.000><c> men,</c><00:45:57.360><c> whether</c><00:45:57.579><c> poor</c><00:45:58.019><c> or</c><00:45:58.860><c> rich.</c>

00:45:59.539 --> 00:46:07.760
This<00:45:59.760><c> is</c><00:45:59.900><c> at</c><00:46:00.059><c> the</c><00:46:00.219><c> time</c><00:46:00.440><c> when</c><00:46:01.199><c> Ruth</c><00:46:01.519><c> has</c><00:46:02.519><c> indicated</c><00:46:03.019><c> to</c><00:46:03.320><c> Barz</c>

00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.000
one<00:46:08.019><c> who</c><00:46:08.199><c> could</c><00:46:08.440><c> fulfill</c><00:46:08.880><c> the</c><00:46:09.139><c> Leverett</c><00:46:09.440><c> law.</c>

00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:14.739
And<00:46:12.579><c> Barz's</c><00:46:12.880><c> response</c><00:46:13.500><c> is</c><00:46:13.699><c> to</c><00:46:13.900><c> say,</c>

00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:18.460
I'm<00:46:15.460><c> delighted</c><00:46:16.059><c> that</c><00:46:16.260><c> you</c><00:46:16.420><c> didn't</c><00:46:16.559><c> go</c><00:46:16.820><c> chasing</c><00:46:17.139><c> the</c><00:46:17.380><c> young</c><00:46:17.619><c> fellows.</c>

00:46:19.219 --> 00:46:22.800
And<00:46:19.480><c> that</c><00:46:19.800><c> clearly</c><00:46:20.099><c> indicates</c><00:46:20.579><c> that</c><00:46:20.780><c> he</c><00:46:20.920><c> was</c><00:46:21.079><c> a</c><00:46:21.099><c> bit</c><00:46:21.280><c> older,</c><00:46:21.820><c> right?</c>

00:46:23.219 --> 00:46:25.699
So,<00:46:24.179><c> he's</c><00:46:24.420><c> an</c><00:46:24.579><c> older</c><00:46:24.760><c> man.</c>

00:46:26.820 --> 00:46:30.380
Now,<00:46:27.920><c> just</c><00:46:28.219><c> let's</c><00:46:28.659><c> note</c><00:46:28.980><c> at</c><00:46:29.400><c> the</c><00:46:29.579><c> end</c><00:46:29.780><c> of</c><00:46:29.980><c> this,</c>

00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.639
We've<00:46:35.199><c> tried</c><00:46:35.340><c> to</c><00:46:35.519><c> move</c><00:46:35.679><c> it</c><00:46:35.860><c> on</c><00:46:36.079><c> quite</c><00:46:36.320><c> quickly</c><00:46:36.699><c> this</c><00:46:37.260><c> morning.</c>

00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.820
But<00:46:38.059><c> just</c><00:46:38.360><c> let's</c><00:46:38.699><c> note</c><00:46:38.880><c> in</c><00:46:39.059><c> verse</c><00:46:39.440><c> 17,</c>

00:46:40.860 --> 00:46:44.679

00:46:44.940 --> 00:46:48.300
It's<00:46:45.079><c> sufficient</c><00:46:45.460><c> to</c><00:46:45.719><c> keep</c><00:46:45.840><c> the</c><00:46:46.059><c> two</c><00:46:46.239><c> women</c><00:46:46.599><c> for</c><00:46:47.179><c> five</c><00:46:47.519><c> days.</c>

00:46:48.739 --> 00:46:50.099
That's<00:46:49.059><c> what</c><00:46:49.159><c> it</c><00:46:49.380><c> amounts</c><00:46:49.780><c> to.</c>

00:46:50.420 --> 00:46:54.360
When<00:46:50.579><c> you</c><00:46:50.960><c> remember</c><00:46:51.719><c> what</c><00:46:52.480><c> an</c><00:46:52.880><c> omer</c><00:46:53.619><c> is,</c>
