The miraculous decad, an essentially tempered chord, is the 1–14/13–8/7–16/13–13/10–7/5–3/2–8/5–12/7–24/13 chord, tempered in the miraculous and revelation (both temper out 105/104, 196/195 and 512/507 in the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup), which makes the steps of the scale 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 14/13, 13/12. Another way of viewing the miraculous decad is that it is the miraculous tempering of two slendric pentads separated by a semitone which represents 14/13, 15/14 and 16/15 simultaneously.
