Latin
And encompassed him with pomegranates,
And with resounding bells round about,
That he might make music with his steps,
So as to cause, the sound of him to be audible in the inmost shrine,
For a memorial for the children of his people:
(With( the holy garments of gold and violet
And purple, the work of the designer;
(With( the breastplate of judgement, (with( the ephod and waistcloth,
And (with( scarlet, the work of the weaver;
(With( precious stones seal-engraven
In settings, 〈the work of the stone-engraver〈;
For a memorial in graven writing,
According to the number of the tribes of Israel.
(With( the crown of pure gold 〈(resting( upon〈 the mitre,
The diadem engraven, ‘Holy to Jahveh’ —
Majesty most glorious, praise most puissant,
The desire of the eyes, and the perfection of beauty!
