and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

for your food, for the food of your household,
and for the maintenance of your maidens.

And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26 The lambs will provide your clothing,
And the goats the price of a field;

For the food of your household,
And the nourishment of your maidservants.
