Lukas 16:4

4 Oh! I have daas of what I may do, that when I am removed from the work of the sochen, they may receive me into their batim.

Lukas 16:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 16:4

I am resolved what to do
Or "I know what to do"; I have a scheme in my head, and I am determined to execute it, which will provide for me, and secure me a maintenance:

that when I am put out of the stewardship;
drove from Jerusalem, and from the temple and the synagogues:

they may receive me into their houses;
either Jews or Gentiles, after their dispersion.

Lukas 16:4 In-Context

2 And having called him, the oisher said to the sochen, What is this I hear about you? Submit to a bikoret beshbonot (audit) for that which is under your pekuddat (stewardship care), for you are no longer able to be sochen.
3 And the sochen said to himself, What may I do, because Adoni takes away the pekuddat from me? I am not strong enough to dig, I am ashamed to beg.
4 Oh! I have daas of what I may do, that when I am removed from the work of the sochen, they may receive me into their batim.
5 And having summoned his Adon’s debtors one by one, he was saying to the first, How much do you owe Adoni?
6 And he said, One hundred jugs of olive oil. And the sochen said to him, Take your bill, sit down, quickly write fifty.
