Then shall you go on forward from there, and you shall come to the oak of Tabor; and there shall meet you there three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

6
and the Spirit of Yahweh will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
