Job 29:9; Job 40:4; Judges 18:19

the princes refrained from talking

and ilaid their hand on their mouth;


Behold, I am zof small account; what shall I answer you?

aI lay my hand on my mouth.


19 And they said to him, Keep quiet; jput your hand on your mouth and come with us and be to us ka father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and clan in Israel?
