Fragment 1
[פשר על ישעיהו נד:יא–יב]
אֲנֹכִי מַרְבִּיץ בַּפּוּךְ אֲבָנַיִךְ 1
וִיסַדְתִּיךְ בַּסַּפִּירִים 2
פשרו על עצת היחד [הכוהנים וה]עם אשר יסדו [עדת האמת] 3
[כל] איש במעמדו [כסַפִּירִים בחומת] ישראל 4
[...] 5
וְשַׂמְתִּי כַּדְכֹד שִׁמְשֹׁתַיִךְ 6
וּשְׁעָרַיִךְ לְאַבְנֵי אֶקְדָּח 7
וְכָל-גְּבוּלֵךְ לְאַבְנֵי-חֵפֶץ 8
[פשרו] שנים עשר [...] הם [הכדכד] לפי מעמדיהם 9
[להאיר על כל העדה] שערי אבני אקדח [הם ראשי השבטים] 10
[של] ישראל [...] וכל גבולך לאבני חפץ [זו] כל [עדת] היחד 11
[הנאספת בסדריה לקץ האחרון] 12
