     ܘܡܘܼܠܸܠ ܠܹܗ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܥܲܡ ܡܘܼܫܹܐ: «ܡܬܲܪܨܸܬ ܡܫܵܓ݂ܬܵܐ ܕܢܚܵܫܵܐ ܘܠܲܩܢܵܐ ܘܟܲܢܵܐ ܕܢܚܵܫܵܐ ܩܵܐ ܫܝܵܓ݂ܬܵܐ. ܘܡܲܬܒ݂ܸܬ ܠܵܗ̇ ܒܹܝܢ ܡܲܫܟܲܢ ܘܲܥܕܵܐ ܘܒܹܝܢ ܡܲܕ݂ܒܚܵܐ، ܘܗܲܒ݂ܠ ܬܲܡܵܐ ܡܲܝ̈ܵܐ.»

     w-mūlil lēh māryā ˁam mūšē: “mtarṣit mšāḡtā d-nḥāšā w-laqnā w-kannā d-nḥāšā qā šyāḡtā. w-matḇit lāh bēn maškan waˁdā w-bēn maḏbḥā, w-haḇl tammā mayyā.”

     Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.”
