And they began to be {merry}. merry And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make {merry} with my friends: merry It was meet that we should make {merry}, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. ~~~~~~
