The Arab chief was overjoyed at this proposition, and he rendered much honour to the rabbi, and gave orders to clothe him in a costly robe, and to perfume his beard with essences of a pleasant odour, so that he was the most sweet smelling of his tribe; and he said, “Make thy words good, and put me in possession of the city, and I will do all and more than thou hast required, and will bestow countless wealth upon thee and thy brethren.”

Who acts: certain, thy · What happens: overjoy, render, give, clothe, perfume, be · To what, where: Arab chief, proposition, much honour, rabbi, orders, certain · Speech: someone speaks here
