Yet the children born during your time of bereavement will say within your hearing,‘ This place is too cramped for us, make room for us so we can live here.’Then you will think to yourself,‘ Who bore these children for me? I was bereaved and barren, dismissed and divorced. Who raised these children?

They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.

But many of those who had listened to the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
