He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing. ¹ 

Then they said, “We’ll call the girl and find out what she wants to do.” ¹ 

he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but asleep.” And they began making fun of him. ¹ 

But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and gently took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Acquire this young girl as my wife.” ¹ 

Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Yes, do so.” ¹  So the young girl ²  went and got ³  the child’s mother. ⁴ 

Naaman ¹  went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.

His ¹  head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

Now ¹  while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priest’s slave girls ²  came by.

When the slave girl saw him, she began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.”

The young woman ran and told her mother’s household all about ¹  these things.

His father-in-law, the girl’s father, persuaded him to stay with him for three days, and they ate and drank together, and spent the night there.

So the two of them sat down and had a meal together. ¹  Then the girl’s father said to the man, “Why not stay another night and have a good time!” ² 

and they cast lots for my people. They traded ¹  a boy for a prostitute; they sold a little girl for wine so they could drink. ² 

But all the young women ¹  who have not had sexual intercourse with a man ²  will be yours. ³ 

When he knocked at the door of the outer gate, a slave girl named Rhoda answered. ¹ 

Then the father and mother of the young woman must produce the evidence of virginity ¹  for the elders of the city at the gate.

Then, gently taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.”

The girl got up at once and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). They were completely astonished at this. ¹
