19 Tu descendras le troisième jour jusqu’au fond du lieu où tu t’étais caché le jour de l’affaire, et tu resteras près de la pierre d’Ézel.

20 Je tirerai trois flèches du côté de la pierre, comme si je visais un but.

21 Et voici, j’enverrai un jeune homme, et je lui dirai: Va, trouve les flèches. Si je lui dis: Voici, les flèches sont en deçà de toi, prends-les! Alors viens, car il y a paix pour toi, et tu n’as rien à craindre, l’Éternel est vivant!

22 Mais si je dis au jeune homme: Voici, les flèches sont au-delà de toi! Alors va-t-en, car l’Éternel te renvoie.

23 L’Éternel est à jamais témoin de la parole que nous nous sommes donnée l’un à l’autre.
