"Now therefore, if you have anything at hand, even five loaves of bread, or whatever you may find, give it to me.” "
— 1 Samuel 21:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.”
“Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatsoever there is present. ”
“Now therefore what is under your hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present."”
“Now what do you have at your disposal? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.””
“Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.”
“So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.”
“Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.”
Then David went into Nob, to the priest Ahimelech. And Ahimelech was astonished that David had arrived. And he said to him, “Why are you alone, and no one is with you?”
And David said to the priest Ahimelech: “The king has instructed to me a word, and he said: ‘Let no one know the matter about which you have been sent by me, and what type of instructions I have given to you. For I have also summoned servants to one and another place.’
Now therefore, if you have anything at hand, even five loaves of bread, or whatever you may find, give it to me.”
And the priest, responding to David, said to him: “I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread. Are the young men clean, especially from women?”
And David responded to the priest, and said to him: “Indeed, as concerns being with women, we have abstained since yesterday and the day before, when we departed, and so the vessels of the young men have been holy. And although, this journey has been defiled, it will also be sanctified today as concerns the vessels.”
Therefore, the priest gave to him sanctified bread. For there was no bread there, but only the bread of the Presence, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, so that fresh loaves might be set up.
