II SAMUELE 12:3

ma il povero non avea se non una sola piccola agnella, la quale egli avea comperata, e l'avea nudrita, ed ella era cresciuta con lui e coi suoi figliuoli, mangiando de' bocconi di esso, e bevendo nella sua coppa, e giacendogli in seno; e gli era a guisa di figliuola.

But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
