The silver rings were tied to pillars of very beautiful stone. Chairs like beds which were made of gold and others made of silver were set up. The floor of that that courtyard were covered with stones which were beautiful and built and put together. Some of those stones were red, others while, others blue and others black.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
