In this case the whole verse will be one sentence and will mean: ". . . . by wrongful means with seeking to gain access. . ." Thus, the verse prohibits the mutual understanding between the bribe‑giver and bribe‑taker so that they wrongfully swallow up the property of the people by sharing it between themselves – the bribe‑taker taking the portion which has been offered to him, and the giver usurping the other portion ‑ while they know that it is wrong and unjust.

MAS ALA: Ikiwa itashindikana kupiga na kuweka, pia kupaka kwa kutumia sehemu ya ndani ya vitanga vya mikono, utatumia sehemu ya juu ya vitang hivyo, vilevile ikiwa vime tapakawa na najisi sehemu zote hadi kwenye kitu kitumikacho kutayammam, na hukuweza kuiondoa najisi hiyo, ama ikiwa najisi si yenye kutapakaa sehemu zote, utaitumia sehemu ile isiyo na najisi kwa kupiga juu ya Ardhi au kuweka juu yake kisha utapaka kwa kutumia sehemu hiyo, bali kauli iliyo dhahiri ni kuwa si lazima kiungo chenye kupaka na chenye kupakwa viwe twahara.
