And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
