5. Is not this it in which adoni drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? Ye have done ra'ah in so doing.
6. And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these same devarim.
7. And they said unto him, Wherefore saith adoni these words? Chalilah (far be it) that thy avadim should do according to this thing;
8. Hinei, the kesef, which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of Eretz Kena'an; how then should we be ganavim stealing kesef or zahav out of the bais adonecha?
