וּלְשָׂרָה אֲמַר הָא יְהַבִית אֶלֶף סִלְעִין דִּכְסַף לַאֲחוּיִיךְ הָא הוּא לִיךְ כְּסוּת דִּיקָר חֲלָף דִּשְׁלַחִית דְּבַרְתִּיךְ וַחֲזֵית יָתִיךְ וְיָת כֹּל דְּעִמִּיךְ וְעַל כֹּל מָא דַּאֲמַרְתְּ אִתּוֹכָחְתְּ׃
To Sarah, he said, Behold I have given to your brother a thousand pieces [shekalim] of silver. It will be for you a [compensational] eye covering for all who are with you, that you may face every one. [It will be for you a garment of honor, in return for my having sent for you, and taken you, and seeing you and all that is with you. And regarding everything that you said, you were just.]
