34
It is like a man, when departing on a journey and leaving his bais (house) and, having put his avadim (servants) in charge, each with his assigned avodah (work), gives orders to the gatekeeper to be shomer.
35
Therefore you be shomer, for you do not have daas when the Baal Bayit comes, either late in the yom or at chatzot halailah or at cockcrow or baboker,
36
Lest having come PITOM (suddenly MALACHI 3:1) he finds you sleeping.
37
And what I say to you, I say to all, be shomer.
