28. ఎబెదు కొడుకు గాలు ఇలా అన్నాడు “అబీమెలెకు ఎంతటివాడు? షెకెము ఎంతటివాడు? మనం అతనికెందుకు దాసులం కావాలి? అతడు యెరుబ్బయలు కొడుకు కాడా? జెబులు అతని ఉద్యోగి కాడా? షెకెము తండ్రి హమోరుకు చెందిన వాళ్ళను సేవిస్తాం గాని, మనం అబబీమెలెకుకు దాసులుగా ఎందుకుండాలి?

TEV
28. ఎబెదు కుమారుడైన గాలు ఇట్లనెను అబీమెలెకు ఏపాటివాడు? షెకెము ఏపాటివాడు? మనము అతనికెందుకు దాసులము కావలెను? అతడు యెరుబ్బయలు కుమారుడు కాడా? జెబులు అతని ఉద్యోగి కాడా? షెకెము తండ్రియైన హమోరు వారికి దాసులమగుదము గాని మనము అతని కెందుకు దాసులము కావలెను?

ERVTE
28. అప్పుడు ఎబెదు కొడుకైన గాలు, “మనము షెకెము ప్రజలమా? మనమెందుకు అతనికి విధేయులవ్వాలి? అబీమెలెకు తనను ఏమనుకొంటున్నాడు? అబీమెలెకు యెరుబ్బయలు కుమారులలో ఒకడు కాడా? అబీమెలెకు జెబులూను తన అధికారిగా నియమించలేదా? మనము అబీమెలెకునకు విధేయులం కాకూడదు. మనము మన స్వంత ప్రజలనే అంటే హామోరు ప్రజలనే [‡హామోరు ప్రజలు షెకెములో పుట్టినటువంటి వారు. ఆదికాండం 34వ అధ్యాయములో ఉన్నట్లుగా హమోరు షెకెము తండ్రి. షెకెము పట్టణానికి హామారు కుమారుని పేరు పెట్టబడిందని చెప్పబడింది.] అనుసరించాలి. అని వారితో అన్నాడు. (హామోరు షెకెముకు తండ్రి)
