Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians.

So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.

τωρα λοιπον προσταξον να κοψωσιν εις εμε κεδρους εκ του Λιβανου· και οι δουλοι μου θελουσιν εισθαι μετα των δουλων σου· και θελω δωσει εις σε μισθον δια τους δουλους σου, κατα παντα οσα ειπας· διοτι συ εξευρεις οτι μεταξυ ημων δεν ειναι ουδεις ουτως εμπειρος να κοπτη ξυλα, ως οι Σιδωνιοι.

Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
