Eglah, the freed Israelite slave
Slave, daughter of slaves, of Israelite origin, redeemed by Claudia Procula for Jesus :
"This little girl is a slave, daughter of slaves. I redeemed her because she is of Israelite origin and Plautina keeps her with her. But I give her to you, thinking to do good. Her name is Egla. She belongs to you."[1]She is kept for now by Plautina then entrusted to Nike of Jericho :
"She begged me so much, says Jesus, and it is a just prayer. The widow without children will also have a holy love, and the little girl without parents a truly Israelite mother who will raise her in our ancient faith and in mine."[2]Grateful, Egla wishes to thank the Roman women before leaving.
