Ecclesiastes 2:7

קָנִ֤יתִי עֲבָדִים֙ וּשְׁפָח֔וֹת וּבְנֵי בַ֖יִת הָ֣יָה לִ֑י גַּם מִקְנֶה֩ בָקָ֨ר וָצֹ֤אן הַרְבֵּה֙ הָ֣יָה לִ֔י מִכֹּ֛ל שֶׁהָי֥וּ לְפָנַ֖י בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
qaniytiy ʿabadiym vshpaḥvot vbney bayit hayah liy gam miqneh baqar vaṣoʾn harbeh hayah liy mikol shehayv lpanay biyrvshaliam
King James Version (KJV)

I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

Modern English

I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.
