23إِنَّ هٰذا أَخي لَهُ تِسعٌ وَتِسعونَ نَعجَةً وَلِيَ نَعجَةٌ واحِدَةٌ فَقالَ أَكفِلنيها وَعَزَّني فِي الخِطابِN. J. Dawood‘My brother here has ninety-nine ewes, but I have only one ewe.1 He demanded that I should entrust it to him, and got the better of me in the dispute.’The allusion is to Uriah’s wife.
