From a fully vowelled text
وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُ بِأَصْبعِ اللهِ أُخْرِجُ الشَّيَاطِينَ، فَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ.But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.Luke 11:20, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَيَغْمِسُ الْكَاهِنُ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الدَّمِ، وَيَنْضِحُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ لَدَى الْحِجَابِ.And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.Leviticus 4:17, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمْعِ عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ، وَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَتَفَلَ وَلَمَسَ لِسَانَهُ،And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;Mark 7:33, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
