Language: English

1.1.4

He (knowing that his father had promised to give up all that he possessed, and therefore his son also) said to his father: 'Dear father, to whom wilt thou give me?'
He said it a second and a third time. Then the father replied (angrily):
'I shall give thee unto Death.'
(The father, having once said so, though in haste, had to be true to his word and to sacrifice his son.)

1.1.4.n1

Dadâmi, I give, with the meaning of the future. Some MSS. write dâsyâmi.
