Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians.
Þerfor comaunde thou, þat thi seruauntis hewe doun to me cedris of þe Liban; and my seruauntis be with thi seruauntis; soþeli Y schal yyue to þee þe meede of thi seruauntis, what euere meede thou schalt axe; for thou woost, þat in my puple is not a man þat kan hewe trees, as Sidonyes kunnen.
