And he saith unto him, `Thou -- thou hast known that which I have served thee `in', and that which thy substance was with me; for `it is' little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?'
