Judith 12:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ Holofernes ordered his guards to let Judith leave the camp. So for three days Judith lived in the camp, and each night she would go out to the valley near Bethulia and bathe at the spring. ⁸ After she had bathed, she would pray to the Lord God to guide her in her plan to bring victory to Israel. ⁹ Then she would return to the camp ritually pure and remain in her tent until after the evening meal.
