Core Text
רָאִינוּ בְּאָבִיךָ, רָאִינוּ בָּךְ. תְּהִי נָא אָלָה בֵּינוֹתֵינוּ — הָאָלָה אֲשֶׁר בֵּינוֹתֵינוּ מִימֵי אָבִיךָ תְּהִי גַּם בֵּינֵינוּ וּבֵינֶךָ.

English: We saw it in the case of your father, and we see it in you. Let there be an oath between us—the oath that was between us from the days of your father shall be also between us and you.
