18But they allG3956 alikeG575G1520 beganG757 to makeG3868 excusesG3868. The firstG4413 oneG4413 saidG3004 to him, ‘I have boughtG59 a 1pieceG68 of landG68 and I needG318 to goG1831 out and lookG3708 at it; 2pleaseG2065 considerG2192 me excusedG3868.’

19AnotherG2087 oneG2087 saidG3004, ‘I have boughtG59 fiveG4002 yokeG2201 of oxenG1016, and I am goingG4198 to tryG1381 them out; 3pleaseG2065 considerG2192 me excusedG3868.’

20AnotherG2087 oneG2087 saidG3004, ‘4I have marriedG1060 a wifeG1135, and for that reasonG1223 I cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064.’

21And the slaveG1401 cameG3854 back and reportedG518 thisG3778 to his masterG2962. ThenG5119 the headG3617 of the householdG3617 became angryG3710 and saidG3004 to his slaveG1401, ‘GoG1831 out at onceG5030 into the streetsG4116 and lanesG4505 of the cityG4172 and bringG1521 in hereG5602 the poorG4434 and crippledG376 and blindG5185 and lameG5560.’

22And the slaveG1401 saidG3004, ‘MasterG2962, whatG3739 you commandedG2004 has beenG1096 doneG1096, and stillG2089 there is roomG5117.’

23And the masterG2962 saidG3004 to the slaveG1401, ‘GoG1831 out into the highwaysG3598 and along the hedgesG5418, and compelG315 them to comeG1525 in, soG2443 that my houseG3624 may be filledG1072.
