14
And when they went out, they parted from each other. But turning back, they met again; and when each pressed the other for the reason, they confessed their lust. And then together they arranged for a time when they could find her alone.
15
Once, while they were watching for an opportune day, she went in as before with only two maids, and wished to bathe in the garden, for it was very hot.
16
And no one was there except the two elders, who had hid themselves and were watching her.
17
She said to her maids, "Bring me oil and ointments, and shut the garden doors so that I may bathe."
18
They did as she said, shut the garden doors, and went out by the side doors to bring what they had been commanded; and they did not see the elders, because they were hidden.
