¹⁴ Is Israel a servant? has he been a house-servant from birth? why has he been made waste?

²² And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

³ And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.

⁷ I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

¹ This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.
