Now that we have these things, what will we say, Lord? We have violated your commandments, which you gave by your servants the prophets:
and to uncover a light for us in the house of the Lord our God, and to give us food in the time of our servitude.
“And now, O Lord, what shall we say when we have these things? For we have transgressed your commandments that you gave by your servants the prophets, saying,
and to uncover a light for us in the house of the Lord our God, and to give us food in the time of our servitude.
to uncover (or to discover) our giver of light in the house of the Lord our God, to give to us meat in the time of our servage (or to give us food in the time of our servitude).
