²⁷ And the Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness ^(A)to meet Moses.” So he went and met him on ^(B)the mountain of God, and kissed him.

² When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by ^(A)Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin ^(B)at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about ^(C)you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?” ’

³ Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up ^(A)to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

⁵ After that you shall come to the hill of God ^(A)where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down ^(B)from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; ^(C)and they will be prophesying.
