9 For I was commanded by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’ ”

9 for so was it commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘You shall neither eat bread nor drink water nor return by the way that you came.’ ”

9 For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

9 For the Lord gave me this command: ‘You must not eat or drink anything while you are there, and do not return to Judah by the same way you came.’ ”

9 The Lord commanded me not to eat or drink anything nor to return on the same road by which I came.”

9 for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way that thou shalt go.

9 When the Lord spoke to me, he commanded me not to eat or drink or go back on the same road I took.”

9 for this is what I was commanded by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or go back the way you came.’ ”

9 For thus I was commanded by the word of the Lord: You shall not eat food, or drink water, or return by the way that you came.”

9 for the word of Yahweh has commanded me, saying, ‘You shall not eat bread nor drink water, and you shall not return on the way that you came.’ ”

9 The Lord gave me a command. He said, ‘Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ”

9 “For so it was commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came.’ ”
