And El-Strives their father is saying toward them, `If an upright, then, make this one, take from the pruned-one1264 of the Earth in your finished-articles, and cause them to descend to the Man a gift, a little cracked-one,1265 and a little lumped-one, a smitten-one1266 and a wrapped-one, bellies1267 and awake-ones.1268
And their father Israel said to them, If it be so, then do this: take from the produce of the land in your vessels and bring down a present to the man, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.
Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry a present down to the man, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
