¹⁴ Kun seitsemän vuotta ovat kuluneet, pitää jokaisen teistä päästämän veljensä, joka Hebrealainen on ja on itsensä sinulle myynyt, ja on jo kuusi vuotta sinua palvellut; ja sinun pitää hänen vapaaksi päästämän. Mutta ei teidän isänne totelleet minua, eikä kallistaneet siihen korviansa.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

¹⁹ And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
