Judith 12:8 In-Context

6 and sent this message to Holofernes: "Let my lord now give orders to allow your servant to go out and pray."

7 So Holofernes commanded his guards not to hinder her. She remained in the camp three days. She went out each night to the valley of Bethulia, and bathed at the spring in the camp.

8 After bathing, she prayed the Lord God of Israel to direct her way for the triumph of his people.

9 Then she returned purified and stayed in the tent until she ate her food toward evening.

10 On the fourth day Holofernes held a banquet for his personal attendants only, and did not invite any of his officers.
