אִם־יוּכַ֞ל לְהִלָּחֵ֤ם אִתִּי֙ וְהִכָּ֔נִי וְהָיִ֥ינוּ לָכֶ֖ם לַעֲבָדִ֑ים וְאִם־אֲנִ֤י אֽוּכַל־לוֹ֙ וְהִכִּיתִ֔יו וִהְיִ֤יתֶם לָ֙נוּ֙ לַעֲבָדִ֔ים וַעֲבַדְתֶּ֖ם אֹתָֽנוּ׃
Kung kaya niya akong labanan at mapatay niya ako, kami ay magiging mga alipin ninyo; ngunit kung madaig ko siya at mapatay ko siya, kayo ay magiging mga alipin namin at maglilingkod kayo sa amin.”
Rashi
