Καὶ ὅταν εἰσπορεύηται ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν προσκυνεῖν, ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Νότον· καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Νότον, ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· οὐκ ἀναστρέψει κατὰ τὴν πύλην εἰς ἣν εἰσελήλυθεν, ἀλλʼ ἢ κατʼ εὐθὺ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται.
