No fly appeared in the</b> spot wherein the offerings were <b>portioned. 4. The High Priest never</b> became <b>defiled on Yom Kippur. 5. Rains could not quench the wood-pile's flame</b> upon the altar. <b>6. The wind failed</b> to unsettle <b>the</b> straight <b>column of smoke</b> that issued from the altar's fire. <b>7. Never was any invalidating flaw discovered in the Omer</b> offering on Pesach's second day, <b>with the pair of loaves</b> brought at Shavuot, <b>or with the Showbread</b> prepared weekly. 8. As those assembled in the Holy Temple <b>stood, they were pressed tightly;</b> yet when <b>they bowed,</b> they found <b>ample room.</b>¹ <b>9. Neither snake nor scorpion inflicted injury in Jerusalem. 10. None remarked to his fellow, "Room here is too scarce for me to lodge overnight in Jerusalem."</b> ה a|sa|RAH ni|SIM na-a|SU la-a|vo|TEI|nu be|VEIT ha|mik|DASH: lo hi|pi|LAH i|SHAH me|REIACH b'SAR ha|KO|desh, ve|LO his|RIACH b'SAR ha|KO|desh me-o|LAM, ve|LO nir|AH z'VUV be|VEIT ha|mit|ba|CHIM, ve|LO EI|ra ke|RI le|cho|HEN ga|DOL b'YOM ha|ki|pu|RIM, ve|LO chi|BU hag|sha|MIM esh shel a|TZEI ha|ma-a|ra|CHAH, ve|LO na|tze|CHAH ha|RUACH et a|MUD he-a|SHAN, ve|LO nim|TZA f'SUL ba-O|mer u|vish|TEI ha|LE|chem uv|le|CHEM ha|pa|NIM, o|me|DIM tz'fu|FIM u|mish|ta|cha|VIM re|va|CHIM, ve|LO hi|ZIK na|CHASH ve-ak|RAV bi|ru|sha|LA|yim, ve|LO a|MAR a|DAM la|cha|ve|RO: tzar li ha|ma|KOM she-a|LIN bi|ru|sha|LA|yim. ה ʿa|śa|RAH nis|SIM na|ʿa|śU la|ʾa|vo|THE|nu be|VETH ham|miq|DASH: loʾ hip|pi|LAH ʾis|SHAH me|REAḥ be|śAR haq|QO|dhesh, ve|LOʾ his|RIAḥ be|śAR haq|QO|dhesh me|ʿo|LAM, ve|LOʾ nir|ʾAH ze|VUV be|VETH ham|miṭ|ba|ḥIM, ve|LOʾ ʾE|raʿ qe|RI le|kho|HEN ga|DHOL be|YOM hak|kip|pu|RIM, ve|LOʾ khib|BU hag|ge|sha|MIM ʾesh shel ʿa|TZE ham|ma|ʿa|ra|KHAH, ve|LOʾ na|tze|ḥAH ha|RUAḥ ʾeth ʿam|MUDH he|ʿa|SHAN, ve|LOʾ nim|TZAʾ fe|SUL ba|ʿO|mer u|vish|TE hal|LE|ḥem u|ve|le|ḥEM hap|pa|NIM, ʿo|me|DHIM tze|fu|FIM u|mish|ta|ḥa|VIM re|va|ḥIM, ve|LOʾ hiz|ZIQ na|ḥASH ve|ʿaq|RAV bi|ru|sha|LA|yim, ve|LOʾ ʾa|MAR ʾa|DHAM la|ḥa|ve|RO: tzar li ham|ma|QOM she|ʾa|LIN bi|ru|sha|LA|yim. ה ʿa|sa|RAH nis|SIM na|ʿa|SU la|a|vo|TE|nu be|VET ham|miq|DASH: lo hip|pi|LAH is|SHAH me|REAḥ be|SAR haq|QO|desh, ve|LO his|RIAḥ be|SAR haq|QO|desh me|ʿo|LAM, ve|LO nir|AH ze|VUV be|VET ham|mit|ba|ḥIM, ve|LO E|raʿ qe|RI le|kho|HEN ga|DOL be|YOM hak|kip|pu|RIM, ve|LO khib|BU hag|ge|sha|MIM esh shel ʿa|TZE ham|ma|ʿa|ra|KHAH, ve|LO na|tze|ḥAH ha|RUAḥ et ʿam|MUD he|ʿa|SHAN, ve|LO nim|TZA fe|SUL ba|ʿO|mer u|vish|TE hal|LE|ḥem u|ve|le|ḥEM hap|pa|NIM, ʿo|me|DIM tze|fu|FIM u|mish|ta|ḥa|VIM re|va|ḥIM, ve|LO hiz|ZIQ na|ḥASH ve|ʿaq|RAV bi|ru|sha|LA|yim, ve|LO a|MAR a|DAM la|ḥa|ve|RO: tzar li ham|ma|QOM she|a|LIN bi|ru|sha|LA|yim. ה a|so|ROH ni|SIM na-a|SU la-a|voy|SEI|nu b'VEIS ha|mik|DOSH: loy hi|pi|LOH i|SHOH mei|REIACH b'SAR ha|KOY|desh, v'LOY his|RIACH b'SAR ha|KOY|desh mei-oy|LOM, v'LOY nir|OH z'VUV b'VEIS ha|mit|bo|CHIM, v'LOY EI|ra ke|RI l'choy|HEIN go|DOYL b'YOYM ha|ki|pu|RIM, v'LOY chi|BU hag'|sho|MIM eish shel a|TZEI ha|ma-a|ro|CHOH, v'LOY notz'|CHOH ho|RUACH es a|MUD he-o|SHON, v'LOY nim|TZO f'SUL bo-OY|mer u|vish|TEI ha|LE|chem uv'|le|CHEM ha|po|NIM, oym'|DIM tz'fu|FIM u|mish|ta|cha|VIM r'vo|CHIM, v'LOY hi|ZIK no|CHOSH v'ak|ROV bi|ru|sho|LA|yim, v'LOY o|MAR o|DOM la|cha|vei|ROY: tzar li ha|mo|KOYM she-o|LIN bi|ru|sho|LA|yim.
