2.2 exceedingly. And when the time of plowing came, his elder brother said to him: "Have a team made ready for us […]
2.3 to plow, for the land has come up from the water, and it is good for plowing as well; and you shall come
2.4 to the field bearing the seed; for we will begin plowing in the morning." So he said to him. Then his
2.5 younger brother did all the tasks his elder brother had told him: "Do them!" And after this, when the land grew bright [on the next day]

2.7 exceedingly glad over their work, at the beginning of their labor. And after many
2.8 days, when they were in the field, they ran short of seed. Then he sent his
2.9 younger brother, saying: "Hurry; fetch us seed from the village!" And his younger brother went and found the wife

2.4 the field carrying seed, for we will begin to plow in the morning." So he said to him. Then his
2.5 younger brother did all the things that his elder brother had told him: "Do them!" Then, after this, the land grew light
2.6 on the next day, and they went to the field carrying their seed. And they began to plow, and their
2.7 hearts were very glad about their work at the start of their labor. Then, many days after this,
2.8 when they were in the field, they ran short of seed. Then he sent his
2.9 younger brother off, saying: "Younger brother, hurry! Get us seed from the village!" And his younger brother found the wife
2.10 of his elder brother sitting and braiding her hair. And he said to her: "Get up! Give me seed!
