Eved-Melekh said, “I left Yerushalayim yesterday. How can you tell me that seventy years have passed?”
The people brought him to elders who questioned him carefully.
He showed them the figs preserved from the day he had slept.
Then they understood that a sign had been given through him.
The sleep of Eved-Melekh became testimony that the years of captivity, long to the people, were still held within the hand of Yahuah.
