14
He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his courtiers.
15
He will take one-tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and his courtiers.
16
He will take your male and female slaves, and the best of your cattle and donkeys, and put them to his work.
17
He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.
