Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.

ἀπόδος μοι τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ παιδία, περὶ ὧν δεδούλευκά σοι, ἵνα ἀπέλθω· σὺ γὰρ γινώσκεις τὴν δουλίαν ἣν δεδούλευκά σοι.

Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.
