Luke 1:39

Mary and Elizabeth

1:39 In those days ¹  Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah, ² 

Ecclesiastes 9:10

9:10 Whatever you find to do with your hands, ³ 

do it with all your might,

because there is neither work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, ⁴ 

the place where you will eventually go. ⁵ 

[1:39]  ¹ sn The expression In those days is another general time reference, though the sense of the context is that the visit came shortly after Mary miraculously conceived and shortly after the announcement about Jesus.

[1:39]  ² sn The author does not say exactly where Elizabeth stayed. The location is given generally as a town of Judah. Judah is about a three day trip south of Nazareth.

[9:10]  ³ tn Heb “Whatever your hand finds to do.”

[9:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “Sheol.”

[9:10]  ⁵ tn Or “where you are about to go.”
