The superintendent said to them:
“Say one blessing,”
And they blessed.

They recited the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2–13 (20:2–14 in NJPS) or Deuteronomy 5:6–17 (5:6–18 in NJPS)),
“Hear, [O Israel . . .]” (Deuteronomy 6:4–9),
“And it shall come to pass, if you hearken . . .” (Deuteronomy 11:13–21),
“And the Lord spoke . . .” (Numbers 15:37–41).

They blessed the people with three blessings:
“True and enduring” [the blessing that follows the Shema prayer in the morning prayer service],
Avodah [the blessing that many Jews say as part of the Amidah prayer calling for Divine acceptance of the Temple service],
And the Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:24–26).

And on the Sabbath, they added a blessing for the [priestly] watch that was leaving.
