Judith 12:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Then Holofernes’ attendants led her into the tent, and she slept there until the middle of the night. She got up when it was the first watch of the morning ⁶ and sent word to Holofernes, saying, “Please, my master, issue an order permitting your servant to go out and pray.” ⁷ So Holofernes ordered his bodyguards not to stop her. She remained in the camp for three days. Each night she went out to the Bethulia Valley and bathed in the spring of water near the camp.
