and they had a lamb-skin about their loins,

and they were dyed in blood,

and their heads were shorn,

and they had head-plates upon them;

because of their armor, and because of their being dyed in blood.

unto the gushing out of many tears,

because of the great goodness of God

in delivering them out of the hands of their enemies;

and they knew it was because of their repentance and their humility

that they had been delivered from an everlasting destruction.
