Section 43 of 98 in Terumah — 5 segments

Segment 1א׳

וּבְסִפְרָא דְּרַב הַמְנוּנָא סָבָא, הָכָא אִינּוּן תְּרֵין אַתְוָון: ח', ט'. וְעַל דָּא לָא הֲווֹ כְּתִיבִין גּוֹ אַבְנִי בּוּרְלָא, אֲבָנִין דְּאַשְׁלָמוּתָא, וּשְׁבָטִין דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, תְּרֵין אַתְוָון אִלֵּין אִתְמְנָעוּ מִנַּיְיהוּ, בְּגִין דְּלָא יְהֵא רָשִׁים בְּגַּוַּויְיהוּ חֵ"ט.

In the book of R. Hamnuna the Ancient it is written concerning the two letters Heth and Teth that they were not engraved upon the precious stones, those stones of perfection (on the High Priest’s ephod), and the names of the Twelve Tribes inscribed on those stones do not contain these two letters, because together they would form the word Het (sin).

Segment 2ב׳

בְּאֲתָר דְּבֵי מַקְדְּשָׁא תַּלְיָין כָּל אַתְוָון דְּאַלְפָא בֵּיתָא, בְּרָזִין גְּלִיפָן דִּשְׁמָהָן קַדִּישִׁין, קְשִׁירִין, מְרֻקָּמָן עָלֵיהּ, וְכָל עָלְמָא דִּלְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא, כֹּלָּא בְּרָזָא דְּאַתְוָון מִּתְחַמְמָן (נ"א מתחקקן) וּגְּלִיפָא, וְרָזִין דִּקְדֻשָׁא (ס"א דשמא קדישא) עִלָּאָה, עָלַיְיהוּ אִתְגְּלִיף.

All the letters of the Alphabet hang in engraved mysteries of the Holy Names in the Temple place; also Heaven and Earth, and all that is above and below; yea, the Holy Name itself is engraved there.

Segment 3ג׳

בְּמַשְׁכְּנָא אִתְגְּלִיפוּ וְאִתְצָיָירוּ אַתְוָון כַּדְקָא חֲזִי. דְּהָא בְּצַלְאֵל הֲוָה יָדַע חָכְמְתָא, לְצָרְפָא אַתְוָון דְּאִתְבְּרִיאוּ בְּהוּ שְׁמַיָא וְאַרְעָא. וְעַל חָכְמְתָא דִּילֵיהּ, (נ"א דא) אִתְבְּנֵי מַשְׁכְּנָא עַל יְדֵיהּ, וְאִתְבְּרִיר מִכָּל עַמָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל.

So it was in the Tabernacle also, because “Bezalel possessed such great wisdom that he knew how to combine those letters of the Alphabet by which heaven and earth were created”, and so, on account of his great wisdom, the building of the Tabernacle was entrusted to him, and he was set apart from among all the children of Israel.
