And howH4100 are the citiesH5892 in whichH834H1992 they liveH3427, are they 10like open campsH4264 orH518 with fortificationsH4013? 2011HowH4100 is the landH776, is it fatH8082 orH518 leanH7330? Are thereH3426 treesH6086 in it orH518 not? 12MakeH2388 an 13effortH2388 then to getH3947 someH4480 of the fruitH6529 of the landH776.” Now the timeH3117 was the timeH3117 of the firstH1061 ripeH1061 grapesH6025.
