Et dixerunt ad eum seniores Jabes: Concede nobis septem dies, ut mittamus nuntios ad universos terminos Israël, et si non fuerit qui defendat nos, egrediemur ad te.
And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.
Et sene ad illo Iabes dic: concede ad nos septeme die, ut mitte nuntios ad universa terminos Israële, et si non qui defende nos es, egredior ad te.
