(2.8) Then they told them, โ€œWhen you enter the city, let your (2.9) companions out.

(2.12) Look, this is the first payment from them!โ€โ€™ That is what you must tell her about these 200 baskets, which are full of men, (2.13) wooden neck yokes, and shackles.โ€ Then the driver went ahead of them to bring his mistress the good news, (2.14) saying, โ€œWe have captured Djehuti.โ€ Then they opened the city gates for the soldiers. ### The Army Enters Joppa (3.1) They entered the city. [Then they] (3.2) let their companions out. They took control of [the] (3.3) city, from young to old. Then they put the people (3.4) in shackles and wooden neck yokes right away.
