Judith 8:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ She pitched a tent for herself on the roof of her house, put funeral clothing around her waist, and wore widow’s clothing. ⁶ She fasted all the days of her widowhood except for the day before the Sabbath and the Sabbath itself, the day before the new moon, the day of the new moon, and the feasts and celebration days of the house of Israel. ⁷ She was very beautiful and lovely to stare at. Her husband Manasseh left her gold and silver, male and female slaves, cattle, and fields, which she continued to oversee.
