13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.

15 He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

16 And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest¹ young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

17 He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.
