Mattityahu 20:4-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. and he said to those, You go also into the kerem. And whatever is right, this is what your pay will be.

5. And they left. And again, having gone out around the sixth and the ninth hour, the Baal Bayit did the same thing.

6. And around the eleventh hour, having gone out, the Baal Bayit found others standing around, and he says to them, Why have you been standing here all the day not working?

7. The idle workers say to the Baal Bayit, Because no one hired us. The Baal Bayit says to them, You go also into the kerem.

8. And when erev had come, another man, the owner of the kerem, says to his foreman, Call the poalim and give to them the wage, beginning with the acharonim and going to the rishonim.

9. And the ones that came around the eleventh hour each received a denarius.

10. And when the rishonim came, they were under the impression that they would receive a larger sum; instead, they themselves each received a denarius.
