Gevurot 23:11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹¹ And on the following lailah, HaAdon stood by Rav Sha’ul and said, “Chazak! For as you gave solemn edut about me in Yerushalayim, thus it is necessary for you also to bear solemn eidus in Rome.”

¹² In the boker, the Judeans joined in a kesher and bound themselves with a shevu’ah that none of them would eat or drink until they had carried out their plot of retzichah b’seter of Rav Sha’ul.

¹³ Now there were more than arba’im anashim (forty men) who joined in this kesher.
