Section 20 of 27 in Beha'alotcha — 6 segments

Segment 1א׳

דִּגְלָא תְּלִיתָאָה. שׁוֹר. גַּבְרִיאֵל. צָפוֹן. תְּרֵין מְמָנָן עִמֵּיהּ, קַפְצִיאֵ"ל חִזְקִיאֵ"ל. הַאי שׁוֹר מִסִּטְרָא דִּשְׂמָאלָא. קַרְנוֹי סַלְּקִין בֵּין תְּרֵין עֵינוֹי. רָגִיז בְּאִסְתַּכְּלוּתָא, עַיְינִין מְלַהֲטָן כְּאֶשָּׁא דְּנוּר דָּלִיק. נָגַח וְרַפְסָא בְּרַגְלוֹי וְלָא חָיִיס.

Then follows the third standard to the north. It had for its ensign Ox and was accompanied by the angel Gabriel and his two chieftains, Kafziel and Hizkiel. The Ox, being of the left side, has horns between his two eyes, which flame as it were with burning fire; he gores and tramples with his feet ruthlessly.

Segment 2ב׳

כַּד גָּעֵי הַאי שׁוֹר, נָפְקִין מִנוּקְבָּא דִּתְהוֹמָא רַבָּא, כַּמָה חֲבִילֵי שְׁרִיקִין (ס"א טריקין), כֻּלְּהוּ גָּעָאן וְשָׁטָאן קָמֵיהּ, וְחֵימָתָא, וְאַחְמְתָא דְּכָל חוֹבִין תַּלְיָיא קָמֵיהּ, דְּהָא כָּל חוֹבֵי עָלְמָא, כֻּלְּהוּ בְּסִפְרָא סְלִיקִין וּכְתִיבִין.

When he moos there emerge out of the hollow of the great abyss numerous spirits of wrath who proceed in front in a chorus of shrieking.

Segment 3ג׳

שִׁבְעָה נַהֲרֵי דְּאֶשָּׁא נַגְדִּין קַמֵּיהּ, כַּד צָחֵי אָזִיל לְגַבֵּי הַהוּא נְהַר דִּינוּר, וְשָׁאִיב לֵיהּ בִּגְמִיעָא חֲדָא. וְהַהוּא נָהָר אִתְמְלֵי כִּדְבְּקַדְמֵיתָא, וְלָא כָּדִיב. כָּל אִינּוּן חַיָּילִין, שָׁאֲבִין אֶשָּׁא אַכְלָא אֶשָּׁא. וְאִלְמָלֵא דְּמִסִּטְרָא דְּאַרְיֵה, נָפִיק חַד נַהֲרָא דְּמַיָיא, דִּמְכַבִּין גַּחֲלָתַיְיהוּ, לָא יָכִיל עָלְמָא לְמִסְבַּל.

Seven fiery rivers flow in front of him, and when thirsty he draws up a whole riverful at one gulp. Yet this river is straightway filled again as before, unfailingly. And were it not for a stream of water from the region of the lion quenching the fiery coals, the world could not endure.
