وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ أَيَّامُ خِدْمَتِهِ مَضَى إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.Luke 1:23, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
جَمِيعُ أَوَانِي الْمَسْكَنِ فِي كُلِّ خِدْمَتِهِ وَجَمِيعُ أَوْتَادِهِ وَجَمِيعُ أَوْتَادِ الدَّارِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.Exodus 27:19, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
«خُذْهَا مِنْهُمْ فَتَكُونَ لِعَمَلِ خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَأَعْطِهَا لِلاَّوِيِّينَ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ حَسَبَ خِدْمَتِهِ».Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.Numbers 7:5, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
