Jabez: Conceived In Pain, Delivered In Victory

The caravan leaves the village and heads south to meet with an Egyptian caravan. Mishael and another rider travel on unladen camels to find the caravan, leaving the village at a fast pace. The village buzzes with gossip about Jeruel and Elishua, but Jabez is adamant about waiting until after the Sabbath to tell Jeruel his answer. Just before the Sabbath starts, the caravan returns with bad news. Tiras accuses someone in the village of stealing from him. (Chapters 58 - 60)
