Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.”

And the king answereth and saith, `Give ye to her the living child, and put it not at all to death; she is its mother.'

And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother.
