⁶ Now therefore command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. And my servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants such wages as you set, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”

⁹ My servants shall bring it down to the sea from Lebanon, and I will make it into rafts to go by sea to the place you direct. And I will have them broken up there, and you shall receive it. And you shall meet my wishes ^(A)by providing food for my household.”

^10 (A)I will give for your servants, the woodsmen who cut timber, 20,000 cors^[a] of crushed wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths^[b] of wine, and 20,000 baths of oil.”
