ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And he said to the vine-dresser: Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down; why does it also encumber the ground? ⁸ And he answering says to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and cast in manure. ⁹ And if it bear fruit —; and if not, hereafter thou shalt cut it down.
