אָ֣ע 'a' “timber”

Also I have given order that whosoever shall alter this rescript, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

אָע֙ 'a' “a beam”

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

אָעָ֥א (אָעָ֥) 'a.'A “<the>”

but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

אָעָ֣א (אָעָ֣) 'a.'A “<the>”
