Lukas 14:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, A certain man was preparing a big seudah, and he invited many;

¹⁷ And at the dinner hour, he sent his eved to say to the seudah invitees, Come, because everything is ready now.

¹⁸ But each began to come up with a teretz (excuse). The rishon (first) said to him, I bought a sadeh (field) and I am compelled to go out and look at it. Please be mekabel (receive, accept) my teretz.
