"I did not greatly desire someone's silver" or "I did not want for myself anyone's silver"
|
|
|
|
## man's silver, gold, or clothing ##

|
## You, yourself ##
|
|
|

The word "yourselves" is used here to add emphasis. (see: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rpronouns]])

## these hands served my own needs ##
|
|
|
|
"I worked with my own hands to earn money and pay for my own expenses." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
## help the weak by working ##
|
|
|
|
"Work so as to have money to help people who cannot earn it for themselves"
|
|
