Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴ Avicha made our ol (yoke) difficult; now therefore make thou the grievous avodat Avicha, and his heavy ol (yoke) which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

⁵ And he said unto them, Depart yet for shloshah yamim, then come back to me. And HaAm departed.

⁶ And HaMelech Rechav‘am consulted with the Zekenim, that stood before Sh’lomo Aviv while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may return answer to HaAm Hazeh?
