       enter into the holy place, and make

       petitions concerning her, and

       whatsoever the Lord shall manifest

       unto you, that do.

      5 Then the high-priest entered

       into the Holy of Holies, and taking

       away with him the breast-plate of

       judgment made prayers concerning her;

      6 And behold the angel of the

       Lord came to him, and said,

       Zacharias, Zacharias, Go forth and

       call together all the widowers

       among the people, and let every

       one of them bring his rod, and

       he by whom the Lord shall shew

       a sign shall be the husband of

       Mary.

      7 And the criers went out

       through all Judaea, and the trumpet

       of the Lord sounded, and all

       the people ran and met together.

      8 Joseph also throwing away

       his hatchet, went out to meet

       them; and when they were met,

       they went to the high-priest;

       taking every man his rod.

      9 After the high-priest had

       received their rods, he went

       into the temple to pray;

      10 And when he had finished

       his prayer, he took the rods, and

       went forth and distributed them,

       and there was no miracle attended

       them.

      11 The last rod was taken by

       Joseph, said behold a dove

       proceeded out of the rod, and

       flew upon the head of Joseph.

      12 And the high-priest said,

       Joseph, Thou art the person

       chosen to take the Virgin of the

       Lord, to keep her for him:

      13 But Joseph refused, saying,

       I am an old man, and have children,

       but she is young, and I fear

       lest I should appear ridiculous

       in Israel.

      14 Then the high-priest replied,

       Joseph, Fear the Lord thy God,

       and remember how God dealt with

       Dathan, Korah, and Abiram, how

       the earth opened and swallowed

       them up, because of their

       contradiction.

      15 Now therefore, Joseph, fear

       God lest the like things should

       happen in your family.

      16 Joseph then being afraid,

       took her unto his house, and

       Joseph said unto Mary, Behold, I

       have taken thee from the temple

       of the Lord, and now I will leave

       thee in my house; I must go to

       mind my trade of building. The

       Lord be with thee.

      CHAPTER IX.

      1 The priests desire a new veil for the temple,

       3 seven virgins cast lots for making different parts of it,

       4 the lot to spin the true purple falls to Mary.

       5 Zacharias, the high priest, becomes dumb.

       7 Mary takes a pot to draw water, and hears a voice,

       8 trembles and begins to work,

       9 an angel Appears and salutes her, and tells her she

       shall conceive by the Holy Ghost,

       17 she submits.

       19 Visits her cousin Elizabeth, whose child in her womb leaps.

      AND it came to pass, in a council

       of the priests, it was said,

       Let us make a new veil for the

       temple of the Lord.

      2 And the high-priest said,

       Call together to me seven undefiled

       virgins of the tribe of David.

      3 And the servants went and

       brought them into the temple of

       the Lord, and the high-priest said

       unto them, Cast lots before me

       now, who of you shall spin the

       golden thread, who the blue, who

       the scarlet, who the fine linen, and

       who the true purple.

      4 Then the high-priest knew

       Mary; that she was of the tribe of

       David; and he called her, and the

       true purple fell to her lot to spin,

       and she went away to her own

       house.
