Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day. And the people were faint.

Then one of the people said to him, Your father put the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes any food this day. And the people were feeble, needing food.

Απεκριθη δε εις εκ του λαου και ειπεν, Ο πατηρ σου ωρκισε δι' ορκου τον λαον, λεγων, Επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος, οστις φαγη τροφην σημερον· δια τουτο ο λαος ειναι εκλελυμενος.

Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” The people were faint.
