Listen to them, but solemnly warn them and tell them about the customary rights of the king who will reign over them.”

Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall warn them strongly and tell them of the practice of the king who will reign over them.”

Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”

And the prince may never take anyone’s property by force. If he gives property to his sons, it must be from his own land, for I do not want any of my people unjustly evicted from their property.”
