Never came lightnings from Mowrah Nawut crashing upon Mlideen, nor blight on harvests nor pestilence in the city, only upon Mowrah Nawut the gods sat and smiled. The people of Mlideen had said: "Yoma is god." And the gods sat and smiled. And after the forgetting of Yoma and the passing of years the people had said: "Zungari is god." And the gods sat and smiled.
But he said that the smaller hills that we crossed on the way to your village which he called the Pegu Yoma hills some of whose swells come down to the bank, extend all the way down to the sea between the Irrawaddy and the Sittang rivers; and that, from them, streams flowed to one river or the other. Therefore, if we could gain that range, we should avoid the swamp country, altogether.
"There was a stone in the Holy of Holies, on its west side, on which was placed the ark of the covenant, and before it the pot of manna and Aaron's rod. The Talmudical book "Yoma" gives the same tradition, and says that "the ark of the covenant was placed in the centre of the Holy of Holies, upon a stone rising three fingers' breadth above the floor, to be, as it were, a pedestal for it."
That number is probably hyperbolical, but the statement in other parts of the Rabbinical literature, that there were eighty high priests in that period, throws doubt on this list, which besides is manifestly patched in several places. Yoma, ix., and Lev.
The Talmudical treatise on the ritual of the day of atonement is entitled 'Yoma, the day, which sufficiently expresses its importance in the series of sacrificial observances.
