The building of the tower then shall be accomplished, and all alike shall rejoice in the (completed) circle of the tower, and shall glorify God that the building of the tower was accomplished." (HER) 3a I enquired of her, saying, "Lady, I could wish to know concerning the end of the stones, and their power, of what kind it is."

Tell them that all these things are true, and that there is nothing beside the truth, but that all are steadfast, and valid, and established on a firm foundation. (HER)
