8He saidH559, “O LordH136 4GodH3068, 5howH4100 may I knowH3045 that I will 6possessH3423 it?”

9So He saidH559 to him, “7BringH3947 Me a threeH8027 yearH8027 oldH8027 heiferH5697, and a threeH8027 yearH8027 oldH8027 femaleH5795 goatH5795, and a threeH8027 yearH8027 oldH8027 ramH352, and a turtledoveH8449, and a youngH1469 pigeonH1469.”
