GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, {that} I may live, and keep thy word.

But who {am} I, and what {is} my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things {come} of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine...: Heb. of thine hand}
