And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
So he said, “Now let it indeed be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, but the rest of you shall be considered innocent.”

And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless.”

He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
