20 and he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and saidLet me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, that I may follow thee. And he said unto him,Go, turn back, for what have I done to thee?

21 So he turned back from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and sacrificed them, and, with the implements of the oxen, boiled their flesh, and gave unto the people, and they did eat,then he arose, and followed Elijah, and ministered unto him.
