9 Иавис был знаменитее своих братьев. Мать дала ему имя Иавис, сказав: я родила его с болезнью.

10 И воззвал Иавис к Богу Израилеву [и] сказал: о, если бы Ты благословил меня Твоим благословением, распространил пределы мои, и рука Твоя была со мною, охраняя [меня] от зла, чтобы я не горевал!.. И Бог ниспослал [ему], чего он просил.

9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
