[The mixing of the Yomtov

On Yomtov we may prepare food
made. If, however, Yomtov falls on
the Sabbath provided we make Eruv
with the Sabbath dishes]

only for the day on which it is
Friday we may prepare food for
Tavshilin on Erev
Yomtov.
The ccremftny consists in taking a plate with some boiled meat and
bread and saying the blessing below. With this dish (Tavshil) we have
begun on Erev Yomtov to prepare food for the Sabbath, and Yomtov
then only continues this work.
ERUV T A V S H I L I N
Blessed are Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us by thy commandments, and hast commanded us concerning the Eruv.
Through this Eruv it will be permitted to us to bake, cook
and heat food and to provide all our needs on Yomtov for the
Sabbath, even for us and for all who dwell in this city.
On lighting the festival
lights in the home say:
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,

who hast sanctified us by thy commandments, and hast
commanded us to light the lights for [the Sabbath and]
the Festival.
who hast kept us in life, and hast preserved us, and enabled
us to reach this season.
AFTERNOON SERVICE
FOR
THE EVE OF FESTIVALS
Happy are they that dwell in thy house; they will be ever
praising thee. Selah. Happy is the people that is in such
a case; happy is the people whose God is the Lord.
Psalm cxlv A Psalm of Praise of David.
I will extol thee, my God, O King; and I will bless thy Name
for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will
praise thy Name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and
greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable
One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall
declare thy mighty acts. Of the glorious honour of thy
majesty, and of thy wondrous works, will I speak. And
men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I
will declare thy greatness. They shall utter the memory

of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger
and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all; and his
tender mercies are over all his works. A l l thy works shall
give thanks unto thee, O Lord; and thy pious servants
shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy
kingdom, and talk of thy power; to make known to the
sons of men his mighty acts, and the glory of the majesty
of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The
Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be
bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou
givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine
hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The
Lord is righteous in all his ways, and merciful in all his
works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire
of them that fear him; he also will hear their cry, and will
save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him;
but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak
the praise of the Lord; and let all flesh bless his holy Name
for ever and ever.
And as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth,
and for evermore. Praise ye the Lord.
Reader. Magnified and sanctified be his great Name
in the world he hath created according to his will. May he
establish his kingdom in your life-time and in your days
and in the life-time of all the house of Israel, speedily and
at a near time; and say ye, Amen.
k
Cong.
Let his great Name be blessed for ever and ever.
Reader. Blessed, praised and glorified, exalted, extolled

and honoured, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy
One, blessed be he, beyond all blessings and hymns, praises
and songs, which are uttered in the world, and say ye,
Amen.

The Amidah until as in ancient }ears, on p. 8, is said
sileni!-j.
O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall declare

thy praise.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, O great
mighty and awful God, most high God, who bestowest
gracious favours and who possessest all things, who rememberest the piety of the patriarchs, and who in love wilt bring
a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of thy
Name. O King, Helper, Saviour and Shield; blessed art
thou, O Lord, the Shield of Abraham.
Thou art mighty for ever, O Lord; it is thou who
quickenest the dead, and art mighty to save.
On tlie Eve of Passover .
Thou causest the wind to blow and the rain to descend.

Thou sustainest the living with loving-kindnesb, quickenest
the dead with great mercy, supportest the falling and healest
the sick, loosest the bound, and keepest thy faith unto them
that sleep in the dust. Who is like unto thee, Lord of
mighty acts, and who can be compared unto thee, O King,
who killest and restorest to life and causest salvation to
spring forth? And faithful art thou to quicken the dead.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who quickenest the dead.
Thou art holy and thy Name is holy, and holy beings
praise thee daily. Selah. Blessed art thou, O Lord, the
holy God.
In repeating the Amidah, the Reader substitutes
sanctify to Holy God for the preceding paragraph
from
We will
We will sanctify thy Name in the world, as they sanctify

it in the highest heavens, as it is written by the hand of
thy prophet: and one cried unto another and said,
Cong, and Reader. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory.
Reader. Those over against them say, Blessed
Cong and Reader. Blessed be the glory of the Lcd from
his place.

knowledge, understanding and discernment from thee.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, gracious giver of knowledge.

perfect repentance unto thy presence. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who delightest in repentance.
Forgive us, O our Father, for we have sinned: pardon
us, O our King, for we have transgressed; for thou dost
pardon and forgive. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who art
gracious and dost abundantly forgive.
Look upon our afflictions, and plead our cause, and redeem us speedily for the sake of thy Name; for thou art a
mighty Redeemer. Blessed art thou, O Lord, the Redeemer
of Israel.

corners of the earth. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who gatherest the dispersed of thy people Israel.

the face of the earth."

AFTERNOON SERVICE
Restore our judges as at the first, and our councillors

as at the beginning: remove from us sorrow and sighing;
reign thou over us, O Lord, thou alone, in kindness and
tender mercy, and justify us in judgment. Blessed art
thou, O Lord, thou King who lovest righteousness and
judgment.
And for slanderers let there be no hope; and let all
wickedness perish in a moment; let all thine enemies be
speedily cut off, and the dominion of arrogance do thou
uproot and crush and cast down and humble speedily in our
days. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who breakest the enemies
and humblest the arrogant.
Upon the righteous and the pious, upon the elders of thy
people the house of Israel, upon the remnant of their scribes,
upon the proselytes of righteousness and upon us may thy
tender mercies be moved, O Lord our God. O grant a good
reward unto all who faithfully trust in thy Name; set our
portion with them for ever; so that we may not be put to
shame; for we have trusted in thee. Blessed art thou, O
Lord, the stay and trust of the righteous.
And to Jerusalem, thy city, return in mercy, and dwell
in the midst thereof as thou hast spoken; rebuild it soon in
our days as an everlasting building, and speedily set up
therein the throne of David. Blessed art thou, O Lord,
who buildest up Jerusalem.
Speedily cause the offspring of David, thy servant, to
flourish, and let his horn be exalted by thy salvation; for
we wait for thy salvation all the day. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who causest the horn of salvation to flourish.
Hear our voice, O Lord our God, pity and compassionate us, and accept our prayer in mercy and favour:
for thou art a God who hearkenest unto prayers and supplications. And from thy presence, O our King, turn us
not away empty; for thou hearkenest in mercy to the
prayer of thy people Israel. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who
hearkenest unto prayer.

unto Zion.
We make acknowledgment unto thee, that thou art the

Lord our God and the God of our fathers for ever and ever;
thou art the Rock of our lives, the Shield of our salvation
through every generation. We will give thanks unto thee
and declare thy praise for our lives which are delivered
into thy hand, and for our souls which are committed unto
thy charge, and for thy miracles which are with us every
day, and for thy wondrous benefits which are with us at all
times, even, morn and noon. Thou art the Beneficent One,
for thy mercies never fail; thou art the Merciful One, for
thy kindnesses never cease. We have ever hoped in thee.

Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, the God of all
flesh, our Creator and the Creator of all things in the
beginning. Blessings and thanksgivings be to thy great and
holy Name, because thou hast kept us alive and supported
us. So continue to keep us alive and support us; and
gather our exiles to thy holy courts to observe thy statutes,
to perform thy will and to serve thee with a perfect heart;
for this we give thanks unto thee. Blessed be God to whom
thanksgivings belong.
And for all these things, O our King, thy Name shall be
continually blessed and exalted for ever and ever. And
every one that liveth shall give thanks unto thee, Selah;
and shall praise thy Name in truth, O God, our salvation
and help, Selah. Blessed art thou, O Lord, whose name is
the Beneficent One, and unto whom it is becoming to give
thanks.
Grant abundant peace unto Israel thy people for ever,
for thou art Sovereign of all peace; and may it be good in
thy sight to bless thy people Israel at all times and in every
hour with thy peace. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who
blessest thy people Israel with peace.
O my God, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from
speaking guile; and to such as curse me, let my soul be
silent, yea, let my soul be unto all as the dust. Open thou
my heart to thy Law, and let my soul pursue thy commandments. And as to any who devise evil against me, speedily
make their counsel of none effect and frustrate their design.
Do thou it for the sake of thy Name, do it for the sake of thv
right hand, do it for the sake of thy holiness, do it for the
sake of thy Law, that thy beloved ones may be delivered. O
save with thy right hand and answer me. Let the words
of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable
before thee, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. He who
maketh peace in his high places may he make peace for us
and for all Israel, and say ye, Amen. May it be thy will,

the following
Psalms
and Kaddish
are said:
A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath Day.
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing

praises unto th> name, O Most High to show forth thy 10vin<kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, upon
an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psalter> , upon the
harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad
through thy work : I will triumph in the works of thy hands
How great are thy works, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man knoweth not;
neither doth a fool understand
this
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when al thi
workers of iniquity do flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed
for ever. But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. For,
10, thine enemies, O Lord, for, 10, thine enemies shall perish,
all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered
But m> horn
hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild ox: I am anointed
with fresh oil
Mine eye hath seen mine enemies; mine ears
have heard of the wicked who rise up against me The righteou*
shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in
Lebanon
They shall be planted in the house of the Lord;
they shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still
bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap, and green;
to show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no
unrighteousness in him
Psalm xciii.
The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is
clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself;
the
world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne
is established of old: thou art from everlasting
The floods
have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier
than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty breakers
of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh
thine house, O Lord, for ever.

who at thy word bringest on the evening, with wisdom
openest the gates, and with understanding changest the
times and variest the seasons and orderest the stars in their
watches in the firmament according to thy will. Thou
createst day and night; thou rollest away the light from
before the darkness, and the darkness before the light;
thou makest the day to pass and the night to approach,
and dividest the day from the night: the Lord of hosts is
thy Name; O God, living and enduring continually, who
wilt reign over us for ever and ever. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who bringest on the evening.
With everlasting love hast thou loved the house of Israel,
thy people; a law and commandments, statutes and judgments hast thou taught us. Therefore, O Lord our God,
when we lie down and when we rise up, we will meditate on
thy statutes, and we will rejoice in the words of thy Law and
in thy commandments for ever and ever; for they are our life
and the length of our days, and on them we will meditate day
and night. And mayest thou never take thy love away from
us. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who lovest thy people Israel.
Deuteronomy vi. 49.
Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

The
following
verse is said
silently:
Blessed be his Name whose glorious Kingdom is for ever and ever,
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And
these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in
thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto
thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in
thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when
thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt
bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be for
frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them
upon the door-posts of thine house and upon thy gates.

Deuteronomy xi. 1321.
And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken diligently

unto my commandments which I command you this day,
to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your
heart and with all your soul: that I will give the rain of
your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn and thy wine and
thine oil. And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle,
that thou mayest eat and be satisfied. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside,
and serve other gods, and worship them: and the Lord's
wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven,
and there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit,
and ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord
giveth you. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in
your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon
your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your
eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of
them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou
walkest by the way, when thou liest down and when thou
risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts
of thine house and upon thy gates: that your days may be
multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which
the Lofd sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days
of the heavens upon the earth.
Numbers xv 3741.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Speak unto the
children of Israel, and bid them that they make them
fringes in the corners of their garments throughout their
generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the
corner a thread of blue: and it shall be unto you for a
fringe, that ye may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek

Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God; I am the Lord your God.
True and faithful is all this, and it is established with
us that he is the Lord our God, and there is none beside him,
and that we, Israel, are his people. I t is he who redeemed
us from the hand of kings; he is our King who delivered
us from the hand of all the terrible ones; the God, who on
our behalf dealt retribution to our adversaries, and requited
all the enemies of our soul; who doeth great things past
finding out, and marvellous things without number; who
hath appointed our soul in life, and hath not suffered our
feet to be moved; who made us tread upon the high places
of our enemies, and exalted our horn over all them that
hated us; who wrought for us miracles and vengeance upon
Pharaoh, signs and wonders in the land of the children of
Ham; who, in his wrath, smote all the first-born of Egypt,
and brought forth his people Israel from among them to
everlasting freedom; who made his children pass between
the division of the Red Sea, and sank their pursuers and
their, enemies in the depths. Then his children beheld his
might; they praised and gave thanks unto his Name,
and willingly accepted his sovereignty. Moses and the
children of Israel sang a song unto thee with great joy,
saying all of them:
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty ones?
Who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders?
Thy children beheld thy sovereign power as thou didst
cleave the sea before Moses; they exclaimed, This is my
God! and said: The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
And it is said, For the Lord hath delivered Jacob, and
redeemed him from the hand that was stronger than he.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast redeemed Israel.
Cause us, O Lord our God, to lie down in peace and
raise us up, O our King, unto life, and spread over us the
canopy of thy peace; direct us with thy counsel, and

NOTE
ON THE
COUNTING
OF THE
OMER.
The counting of the Omer is based upon the Biblical command

contained in Leviticus xxui. 10-15 (cf. also Deut xvi. 9-10) to
count seven complete weeks from the offering of the omer on the
morrow of the Sabbath, for the purpose of fixing the date of the
festival of the firstfrmts
The "morrow of the Sabbath" was
interpreted by the Pharisees as being the day after the first holy
convocation of the Passover-festival, a view which was contested
by the Sadducecs, and in later times by the Karaites, who held
that the Sabbath refericd to is the Saturday immediately following
the first day of Passo\cr
The omer itself consisted of a waveoffering of the first barley of the year. It is enacted in Leviticus
xxiii. 14 that no new corn may be eaten until this offering has been
brought. Hence we find that in later Temple times the reaping of
the barley for the omer was marked by a considerable degree of
publicity; great ceremony too was observed when it was sifted
and offered in the
Temple.
(See
Mnhnah
3r<-nochoth Chap. x).
As the offering of the omer signified the commencement

of the barley-har\est, which comes first in Palestine, so the Feast
of Weeks marked the period of the harvest of wheat, which is
the last cereal to ripen. The third of the three festivals, the Feast
of Tabernacles, similarly marked the gathering of the fruit-harvest,
which comes last of all.
Maimonidcs gives an allegorical meaning to the counting of the
omsx( Moreh Nebuc/umjrd bookchap. < h c o u n t
the daj s from Pass-
over, he says, as one who awaits a dear friend counts the days and
even the hours that bring his coming nearer. In this light Pentecost,
as the festival of divine revelation, is to be regarded as the culmination of Passover, the feast of national emancipation. Israel's
birth among the nations is viewed as but a step towards the fulfilment of his life-mission, the spreading of religious truth.

It behoveth us to praise the Lord of all, to ascribe greatness to him who formed the world in the beginning; that
he hath not made us like the nations of other lands, and
hath not placed us like other families of the earth, that he
hath not given unto us a portion as unto them, nor a lot
as unto all their multitude; for we bend the knee and
prostrate ourselves and make acknowledgement before
the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be he, who
stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of
the earth, the abode of whose glory is in the heavens above,
and the dwelling of whose majesty is upon the loftiest
heights. He is our God, there is none else; in truth he
is our King, there is none beside him, as it is written in his
Law, Know therefore this day, and lay it to thine heart
that the Lord he is God in heaven above and upon the
earth beneath; there is none else.
Therefore we hope in thee, O Lord our God, that we
may speedily behold the glory of thy might, when thou
wilt remove the abominations from the earth, and the idols
shall be utterly cut off; when the world shall be set under
the kingdom of the Almighty, and all the children of flesh
shall call upon thy Name, when thou wilt turn unto thyself
all the wicked of the earth. A l l the inhabitants of the world
shall know and acknowledge that unto thee every knee
must bend, every tongue must swear. Before thee, O Lord
our God, shall they kneel and fall, and they shall give
honour unto thy glorious Name; they shall all accept the
yoke of thy kingdom, and over them thou wilt speedily
reign for ever and ever. For the Kingdom is thine, and
to all eternity wilt thou reign in glory, as it is written in
thy Law, The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. And it
is said, The Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that
day shall the Lord be one, and his Name One.

Lord of the world, He reigned alone
While yet the universe was naught.
When by His will all things were wrought,
Then first His sovran name was known.
And when the All shall cease to be,
In dread lone splendour He shall reign.
He was He is He shall remain
In glorious eternity.
For He is one, no second shares
His nature or His loneliness;
Unending and beginningless,
All strength is His, All sway he bears.
He is the living God to save,
My Rock while sorrow' toils endure,
My banner and my stronghold sure,
The cup of life whene'ti I crave.
I place my soul within His palm
Before I sleep as when I wake,
And though my body I forsake,
Rest 111 the Lord in fearless calm.

Prpyer to be said in the Tabernacle on the first night of ihe Festival.

May it be thy will, O Lord my God and God of my fathers, that
thy Presence abide among us. Spread over us the Tabernacle
of thy peace in recognition of the precept of the Tabernacle which
we are now fulfilling, and whereby we make acknowledgment in
fear and love of the unity of thy holy and blessed Name.
A3 the
eagle watcheth over his nest, so let the pure and holy radiance of
thy glory, that is spread over our heads from on high, be ever around
us. and thence bid the fulness of life flow upon thy servant [thy
handmaid]. And seeing that I have gone forth from my house
abroad, and am speeding the way of thy commandments, may it
be accounted unto me as though I had wandered afar in thy path.
O wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from
my sin. Keep me in life, O Lord ; bestow upon me the abundance
'of thy blessings : and to them that hunger and thirst give bread
and water unfailingly. Make'me worthy to dwell trustingly in the
covert of thy shadowing wings at the time when I depart from
the world. O deal graciously with us in the decree to which thou
settest thy seal, and make us worthy to dwell many days upon the
land, the holy land, ever serving and fearing thee. Blessed be the
Lord for ever. Atnen and Amen.

on entering the

AND as for me, in the multitude of thy loving-kindness I

will come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward
thy holy temple.
Into the house of God we will walk in company.
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob; thy tabernacles, O
Israel. And as for me, in the multitude of thy loving-kindness I will come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship
toward thy holy temple. Lord, I love the habitation of
thy house and the place where thy glory dwelleth. And I
will worship and bow down, I will bend the knee before
the Lord, my Maker. And as for me, my prayer be unto
thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
At the dawn I seek Thee,
Refuge, Rock sublime;
Set my prayer before Thee in the morning,
And my prayer at eventime.
I before Thy greatness
Stand and am afraid:
All my secret thoughts Thine eje beholdeth
Deep within my bosom laid
And withal what is it
Heart and tongue can do?
What is this m\ strength, and what is even
This the spirit in me too?
But indeed man's singing
May seem good to Thee;
So I praise Thee, singing while there dwelleth
Yet the breath of God in me.

For He is one, no second shares
His nature or His loneliness;
Unending and beginningless,
AH strength is His, AH sway he bears.
He is the living God to save,
My Rock while sorrow's toils endure,
My banner and my stronghold sure,
The cup of life whene'er I crave.
I place my soul within His palm
Before I sleep as when I wake,
And though my body I forsake,
Rest in the Lord in fearless calm

who hast fashioned man in wisdom and created in him many
orifices and tubes. I t is revealed and known before thy

And mayest thou make the words of thy Law, O Lord

and the descendants of thy people, the house of Israel, may
all have knowledge of thy Name and may study thy Law

MORNING SERVICE
Mishnah Peah 1, and Baraithoth
The following are the commandments as to which no

measure is imposed: leaving the corner of the field, offering
the first-fruits, gifts on appearing at the sanctuary on the
three festivals, charity and the study of the Law. The
following are the commandments of which a man enjoys
the fruit in this world, whilst the principal is laid up for
him in the world to come: honouring one's father and
mother and practising charity, visiting the house of study
morning and evening, entertaining wa> farers, visiting the
sick, dowering a bride, following the dead to the grave,
praying with devotion and making peace between a man
and his fellow; but the study of the Law is equal to all of
them.
O my God, the soul which thou hast set within me is
pure. Thou didst create it, thou didst fashion it, thou hast
breathed it into me and thou preservest it within me. Thou
wilt take it from me; but thou wilt restore it to me again
hereafter. Whilst yet the soul is within me, I will give
thanks unto thee, O Lord my God and God of my fathers,
Sovereign of all works, Master of all souls. Blessed art
thou, O Lord, who restorest the soul to the dead.
who hast given the cock understanding to distinguish
between day and night.
who hast not made me a heathen.
who hast not made me a slave.
Men
say:

who hast not made me a woman.
JVomen say:
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King

who hast made me according to thy will.
who enlightenest the blind.
Blesse art thou, O Lord our God, King
who clothest the naked.
who loosest the bound.

transgression or iniquity, nor lead us into temptation or
contempt. Let not the evil inclination rule over us, but
keep us far from evil men and evil companions, and cause
us to cleave to our good inclination and to good deeds. O
bend our will to thy service, and grant us this day and every

sight of all who see us, and bestow thy loving-kindness upon

to deliver me this day and every day from shamelessness
and shameless men, from an evil man, an evil companion
and an evil neighbour, and from an evil occurrence: from
the corrupting tempter, from an unjust judgment and an
unjust opponent, be he a son of the covenant or be he not a
son of the covenant.
A man should ever fear Heaven even in private. He
should acknowledge the truth and speak the truth in his
heart. Let him rise up early and say:

MORNING SERVICE
Sovereign of all the worlds, not because of our righteous

deeds do we present our supplications before thee, but for
thy great mercies. What are we? What is our life?
What is our piety? What our acts of righteousness? What
our salvation?
What is our strength? What is our
might? W'hat shall we say before thee, O Lord our God
and God of our fathers? Are not all the mighty ones like
naught before thee, and men of fame as though they were
not, wise men as if they were w ithout knowledge, and men
of understanding as though they were void of discretion?
For the multitude of their works is emptiness, and the
days of their life are vanity before thee; and the preeminence of man over beast is naught: for all is vanity.
Howbeit we are thy people, the children of thy covenant,
the children of Abraham that loved thee and to whom thou
didst make oath on Mount Moriah, the seed of Isaac his
only son, who was bound upon the altar, the congregation
of Jacob thy son and first-born, whose name out of the love
thou didst bear him and the joy with which thou didst
rejoice over him thou didst call Israel and Jeshurun.
It is therefore our duty to give thanks unto thee, to praise
thee and to glorify thee, to bless and hallow and render
praise and thanksgiving to thy Name Happy are we!
How goodly is our portion, how pleasant our lot, how
beautiful our inheritance Happy are we who pray morning and evening, at sunrise and sunset, saying twice every
day:
1

Messed be His name whose glorious kingdom is for ever and ever.
Thou wast ere yet the world was created. Thou wast
after its creation, thou art in this world and will be in the
world to come. O hallow thy Name through them that call
it holy. Yea, hallow thy Name in thy world, and in thy
salvation uplift and exalt our horn. Blessed art thou, O
Lord, who hallowest thy Name amongst the multitude.

Thou art the Lord our God in heaven and on earth and
the highest heaven of heavens. Of a truth thou art the
first and thou art the last, and beside thee there is no god.
O gather those that hope in thee from the four corners of
the earth. Let all that come into the world understand and
acknowledge that thou alone art God over all the kingdoms
of the earth. Thou hast made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is therein. And who is there of all thy
handiwork of those above or those below that shall say
unto thee, What doest thou? Our Father which art in
heaven, deal mercifully with us for the sake of thy great
Name by which we are called; and fulfil unto us, O Lord
our God, that which is written: At that time will I bring
you in, and at that time will I gather you: for I will make
you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth,
when I bring again your captivity before your eyes, saith the
Lord.
Numbers xxviu. 18.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the

children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, my food
for my sacrifices made by fire, of a sweet savour unto me,
shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season. And
thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire
which ye shall offer unto the Lord; two he-lambs of the
first year without blemish day by day, for a continual
burnt offering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; and a
tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering,
mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. I t is
a continual burnt offering, which was ordained on Mount
Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the
Lord. And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth
part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt
thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto the
Lord
And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as
the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering
thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto the Lord.

Numbers xx\111 910
And on the Sabbath day two he-lambs of the first year

meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering
thereof; this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, beside
the continual burnt-offering and the drink-offering thereof.
Mishnah Zebachim v.
I . Which are the places where the sacrifices were offered?
The most holy were killed at the north of the altar. The
bull and he-goat of the Day of Atonement were killed at
the north, and their blood, which was received in a vessel
of ministration at the north, required sprinkling between
the staves of the ark, before the veil and on the golden
altar. The omission of any of these sprinklings invalidated
the ceremony. The rest of the blood the priest poured
upon the western base of the outer altar; but i f he did not
do so, the ceremony was not invalid. 2. The bulls and hegoats which had to be burnt were killed at the north, and
their blood, which was received in a vessel of ministration
at the north, required sprinkling before the veil and on
the golden altar. The omission of either of these sprinklings
invalidated the ceremony. The rest of the blood the priest
poured upon the western base of the outer altar; but if he
omitted to do so, the ceremony was not invalid. Both alike
were burnt in the repository of ashes. 3. As to the sinofferings of the congregation and of the individualthe
following are the sin-offerings of the congregation the hegoats of new moons and festivalsthese were killed at
the north, and their blood, which was received in a vessel
of ministration at the north, required four sprinklings on
the four horns of the altar. How was this done? The
priest went up the ascent, and, turning to the middle ledgment bordering the altar, he walked along it to the southeast, north-east, north-west and south-west corners successively. The rest of the blood he poured upon the southern
base. These sacrifices had to be eaten within the hangings

Sifra i
Rabbi Ishmael says the Torah is expounded by thirteen

methods:
1. From a light case and from a weighty one.
2. From an identical expression
3. From a principle drawn from one text and from a
principle drawn from two texts.
4. From a general and a special law.
5 From a special and a general law.
6. A general law, a special and a general law; one may
not draw inferences save in accordance with the
meaning of the special law.
7. From a general law that requires a special one, and
from a special law that requires a general one.
8. Any matter which is included in a general law and
which is detached therefrom to predicate concerning a special case, is not detached to predicate concerning that case only, but concerning the whole of
the general law.
which is detached to elucidate something in harmony therewith, is detached to relax and not to
restrict.
which is detached to elucidate something different and
not in harmony therewith, is detached both to relax
and to restrict.
11. Any matter included in a general law and detached to
determine something fresh, must not be restored to
the general law until the text itself so restores it.
12. A passage that is understood from its context, and a
passage that is understood from its concluding terms
13. And thus two texts may contradict each other until a
third text is found that will harmonize the two.
May it be thy will, O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
that the Temple be speedily rebuilt in our da\s, and grant
our portion in thy Law. And there we will serve thee with
awe, as in the days of old and as in ancient years.

How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore
the children of men put their trust under the shadow of
thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the
fatness of thy hou ;e; and thou shalt make them drink of

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the

shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand
in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure
heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor
sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the
Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy
face; O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

himself known in her palaces for a refuge. For, 10, the kings
assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, then they
were amazed; they were troubled, and hasted away. Trembling
took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. As we
have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst

unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be
glad, because of thy judgments. Walk about Zion, and go

Psalm xciv.
judge of the earth: render to the proud their desert. Lord,

how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
They prate, they speak arrogantly: all the workers of iniquity
boast themselves. They break in pieces thy people, O Lord,
and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The Lord shall
not see, neither shall the God of Jacob consider. Understand,
ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be
wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that
formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the
heathen, shall not he correct, even he that teacheth man knowledge? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are
vanity. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and
teachest him out of thy Law; that thou mayest give him rest
from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the
wicked. For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will
he forsake his inheritance. But judgment shall return unto
righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Who
will rise up for me against evildoers ? or who will stand up for
me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been
my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. W'hen I said,
My foot slippeth, thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my doubts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by statute? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. But the Lord hath been my fortress; and my God
the rock of my refuge. And he hath brought upon them their
own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
Psalm for the fifth day of the week:
This is the fifth day of the week, on which the Levites in the

Psalm lxxxi : To the chief Musician upon Gittith, a Psalm of Asaph.
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto
the God of Jacob. Take up the psalm, and bring hither the
timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow ye the trumpet on the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn
feast-day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the
God of Jacob. This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony,
when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a
language that I understood not. I removed his shoulder from

Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered
thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at
the waters of Meribah. Selah. Hear, O my people, and I
will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldst hearken
unto me! There shall no strange god be in thee; neither
shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the Lord
thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people
would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none
of me. So I let them go after the stubbornness of their
heart: and they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my
people would hearken unto me, Israel would walk in my
ways! I should soon subdue their enemies, and turn
my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the
Lord would have submitted themselves unto him: but
their time should have endured for ever. He would
feed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with
honey*out of the rock would satisfy thee.

in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion: in the
shelter of his tabernacle will he conceal me; he will lift me
up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up
above my enemies round about me; and I will offer in his
tabernacle sacrifices of joyful shouting; I will sing, yea, I
will sing praises unto the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry
with my voice; have pity upon me, and answer me. My
heart saith unto thee, (since thou hast said,) Seek ye my
face, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not thy face from
me; thrust not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been
my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my
salvation. For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, O Lord;
and lead me on an even path, because of them that lie in
wait for me.
Give me not up to the will of mine adver-
saries: for false witnesses have risen up against me, and

such as breathe out violence. ( I should despair), unless I
believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the
living.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and let thine heart
take courage; yea, wait thou for the Lord.

T H E HYMN OF GLORY
The
Ark
is opened.
I
SWELT hjmns shall be my chant and woven songs

For Thou art all for which my spirit longs
To be within the shadow of Thy hand
And all Thy mjstery to understand
The while T h \ glory is upon my tongue,
My inmost heart with love of Thee is wrung.
So though Thy mighty marvels I proclaim,
'Tis song:, of love wherewith I greet Thy name.
II
I have not seen Thee, yet I tell Thy praise,
Nor known Thee, vet I image forth Thy ways.
For by Thy seers' and servants' mystic speech
Thou didst Thy so\ 'ran splendour darkly teach,
And from the grandeur of Thy work they drew
The measure of thy inner greatness, too.
They told of Thee, but not as Thou must be,
Since from Thy work they tried to body Thee.
To countless visions did their pictures run,
Behold through all the visions Thou art one.
Ill
In Thee old age and youth at once were drawn,
The grey of eld, the flowing locks of dawn,
The ancient Judge, the vouthful Warrior,
The Man of Battles, terrible in war,
The helmet of salvation on His head,
And by His hand and arm the triumph led,
His head all shining with the dew of light,
His locks all dripping with the drops of night.
IV
I glorify Him, for He joys in me,
My crown of beauty He shall ever be!
His head is like pure gold
His forehead's flame
Is graven glory of His holy name
And with that lovely diadem 'tis graced,
The coronal His people there have placed

His hair as on the head of youth is twined,

In wealth of raven curls it flows behind.
His circlet is the home of righteousness;
Ah, may He love His highest rapture less!
And be His treasured people in His hand
A diadem His k1ngl> brow to band
By Him they were uplifted, carried, crowned,
Thus honouied inasmuch as precious found.
His glory is on me, and mine on Him,
And when I call He is not far or dim.
Ruddy 1 red apparel, bright He glows
When He from treading Edom's wine-press goes.
Phylacteried the vision Moses viewed
The dav he gazed on God's similitude.
He loves His folk; the meek will glorify,
And, shrined in prayer, draw their rapt reply.
V
Truth is thy primal word; at Thy behest
The generations passO aid our quest
For Thee, and set my host of songs on high,
And let my psalmod\ come very nigh
My praises as a coronal account,
And let my prayer as Thine incense mount.
Deem precious unto Thee the poor man's song,
As those that to Thine altar did belong
c
Ri e, O my blessing, to the lord of birth,

The breeding, quickening, righteous force of earth.
Do Thou receive it with acceptant nod,
My choicest incense offered to my God
And let my meditation grateful be,
For all my being is athirst for Thee.
Thine, O Lord, are greatness and power, glory, victory and

majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine:
thine is sovereignty, O Lord, and pre-eminence supreme. Who
can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can show forth
all his praise?
The Ark is closed
The Mourners' Kaddish is said (p. 10).

I will extol Thee, O Lord; for Thou hast drawn me up

and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. O Lord my
God I cried unto thee, and Thou didst heal me.
Thou broughtest up my soul from the grave;
O Lord,
O Thou has
kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Sing
praise unto the Lord, O ye His loving ones, and give thanks
to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment; His
favour is for a lifetime; weeping may tarry for the night, but
joy cometh in the morning. As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. Thou, Lord, of Thy favour hadst
made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide Thy face;
I was confounded
I cried unto Thee, O Lord; and unto the
Lord I made supplication. What profit is there in my blood if

I go down to the pit? Can the dust give thanks to Thee? Can
it declare Thy truth ? Hear, O Lord, and be gracious unto
me; Lord, be Thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my
mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and
girded me with gladness , to the end that my glory may sing
praise to Thee, and not be silent; O Lord my God, I will give
thanks unto Thee for ever.

MORNING S E R V I C E
Blessed be he who spake and the world was, blessed be he.

Blessed be he who created the world in the beginning. Blessed
be he who speaketh and doeth. Blessed be he who ordaineth
and performeth. Blessed be he who hath compassion upon the
earth. Blessed be he who hath compassion upon his creatures.
Blessed be he who bestoweth a good reward upon them that
fear him. Blessed be he who liveth for ever and endureth to
all eternity. Blessed be he who ransometh and delivereth;
blessed be his Name. Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King
of the Universe, O God, merciful Father, praised by the mouth
of thy people, extolled and glorified by the tongue of thy pious
ones and servants. With the psalms of David thy servant we
will praise thee, O Lord our God; with hymns and songs we
will magnify thee and extol thee and glorify thee; we will
make mention of thy Name and do homage to thee, our King
and God, that art one, the Life of worlds. O King, who art
extolled and glorified, thy Name endureth to all eternity.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, King adored with praises..
1 Chronicles xvi. 8-36
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his Name, make known
his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto
him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy
Name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek
the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and
the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye
children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth. Remember his covenant for
ever ; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
the covenant which he made with Abraham, and his oath unto
Isaac; and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and
to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, Unto thee will
I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
when ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
And when they went from nation to nation, and from one
kingdom to another people; he suffered no man to do
them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Sing unto the Lord, all the earth , shew forth from day to day
his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations For great is the Lord, and
greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the
heavens. Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and
gladness are in his place. Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of
the people give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto
the Lord the glory due unto his Name: bring an offering, and
come before him worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Tremble before him, all the earth: the world also shall be
stablished, that it be not moved Let the heavens be glad, and
let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The
Lord reigneth. Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let
the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. Then shall the trees
of the wood sing for joy before the Lord, because he cometh
to judge the earth. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is
good; for his mercy endureth for ever. And say ye, Save us,
O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us
from the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy Name and to
triumph in thy praise Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for

full of compassion forgiveth iniquity and destroyeth not.
yea, many a time he turneth his anger away and stirreth
not up all his wrath Thou, O Lord, wilt not withhold thy
tender mercies from me: let thy loving-kindness and thy
truth continually preserve me. Remember, O Lord, thy
tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are of
old. Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over
Israel, and his strength is in the skies. O God, thou art
terrible out of thy holy places the God of Israel is he that
giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be

a case; happy is the people whose God is the Lord. And as
for me, I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in
thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt
bountifully with me.
Psalm xix
For the Chief Musician, a Psalm of David
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament

sheweth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor
language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone
out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the
world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is
as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a
strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of
the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of i t : and there is
nothing hid from the heat thereof. The Law of the Lord is
perfect, restoring the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for
ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much
fine gold: sweeter lso than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward. Who can discern his errors? clear

thou me from secret faults. Keep back thv servant also from
presumptuous sins; let them not ha\e dominion over me: then
shall I be upright, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be
acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm xxxiv
A Psalm of David; when he changed his
behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away,
and he departed.
I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually
be 5n my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord:
the meek shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord
with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord,
and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They
looked unto him, and \\ ere lightened: and their faces were not
ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and
saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his holy ones: for there
is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack,
and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want
any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will
teach you the feai of the Lord. What man is he that desireth
life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy
tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart
from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes
of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears are open
unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them that do
evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The
righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out
of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of
a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all He keepeth all his bones: not one
of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that
hate the righteous shall be desolate. The Lord redeemeth the
soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall
be condemned.

Psalm xc.
A Prayer of Moses the man of God
Lord, thou hast been our refuge in all generations. Before

the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed
the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting,
thou art God. Thou turnest man to destruction, and sayest,
Return, ye children of men. For a thousand years in thy
sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in
the night. Thou earnest them away as with a flood; they fall
asleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it
is cut down and withered. For we have been consumed by
thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. Thou hast set
our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy
countenance. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:
we spend our years as a sigh. The days of our years are
threescore years and ten; and i f by reason of strength they be
fourscore years, yet is their pride labour and sorrow; for it is
soon cut off, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of
thine anger? even according to the fear due to thee so is thy
wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom. Return, O Lord, how long? and let
it repent thee concerning thy servants. O satisfy us early with
thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted
us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let thy work
appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of
our hands establish thou it.
Psalm xci.
He dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, he abideth
under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He
is my refuge and my fortress: my God ; in him will I trust. For
he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the
noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his pinions, and
under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be a shield and
a buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that
walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth
at noonday. Though a thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten
thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh
thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the
reward of the wicked.
For thou, O Lord, art my refuge;

MORNING SERVICE
thou hast made the most High thy refuge. There shall no evil
befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. For
he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash
thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and
adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under
foot. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I
deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my
Name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will
be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Psalm cxxx\
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Name of the Lord; praise

him, O ye servants of the Lord. Ye that stand in the house
of the Lord, 111 the courts of the house of our God, praise the
Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his Name; for
it is pleasant. For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself,
and Israel for his peculiar treasure. For I know that the Lord
is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatsoever the
Lord pleaseth, that hath he done in heaven and in earth, in the
seas and all deeps. He causeth vapours to ascend from the
ends of the earth, he makelh lightnings for the rain, he
bnngeth the wind out of his treasuries. Who smote the firstborn of Egjpt, both of man and beast. Who sent tokens and
wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and
upon all his servants. Who smote great nations, and slew
mighty kings; Sihon king of the Amonte*-, and Og king of
Bashan, and all the kingdom*, of Canaan: and gave their land
for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Thy
Name, O Lord, endureth for e\er; thy memorial, O Lord,
throughout all generations. For the Lord will judge his
people, and he will repent hun concerning his servants.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of
men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not; they have ears, but they
hear not; neither is thcie any breath in their mouths.
They that make them shall be like unto them: yea, every
one that trusteth in them. Bless the Lord, O house of
Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron: bless the Lord,

An heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth
for ever.
Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth
for ever:
And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth
for ever.
Psalm Xxxiii
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely

for the upright. G1\e thanks unto the Lord with harp: sing
unto him with the psaltery of ten strings. Sing unto him a
new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of
the Lord is right; and all his works are done in faithfulness.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord were the
heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his
mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an
heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth
fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe
of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it
stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of nations to naught:
he maketh the devices of peoples of none effect. The counsel
of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all
generations. Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; the
people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The
Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth, he that fashioneth the hearts of them
all, that considereth all their works. The king is not saved by
the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by
much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither
shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of
the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope for
his mercy; to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them
alive in famine. Our soul hath waited for the Lord he is our
help and our shield For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy Name. Let thy mercy, O
Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.

Psalm xcii
A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath Day.
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing

praises unto thy Name, O most High: to shew forth thy
loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every
night, upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;
upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made
me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy
hands. How great are thy works, O Lord! thy thoughts are
very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool
understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and
when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they
shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, O Lord, art most high
for evermore. For, 10, thine enemies, O Lord, for, 10, thine
enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the
wild ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye hath seen
mine enemies; mine ears have ncard of the wicked who rise
up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree:
he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They shall be planted
in the house of the Lord; they shall flourish in the courts of
our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they
shall be full of sap, and green; to shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Psalm xciii
The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is

clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself; the
world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne
is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The floods
have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier
than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty breakers
of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure, holiness becometh
thine house, O Lord, for ever.
Let the glory of the Lord endure for ever; let the Lord
rejoice in his works. Blessed be the Name of the Lord from
this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun
unto the going down of the same the Lord's Name is praised.
The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the
heavens. Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for ever; thy

established his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth
over all. Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, and
let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth. The Lord
reigneth: the Lord hath reigned: the Lord will reign for ever
and ever. The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen
are perished out of his land. The Lord bringeth the counsel
of nations to naught: he maketh the devices of peoples of none
effect. There are many devices in a man's heart; but the
counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. The counsel of the Lord
standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
For he spake and it was done; he commanded, and it stood
fast. For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for
his habitation. For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself,
and Israel for hib peculiar treasure. For the Lord will not cast
off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. And
he being full of compassion forgiveth iniquity and destroyeth
not: yea, many a time he turneth his anger away and stirreth
not up all his wrath. Save, O Lod: may the King answer us
on the day we call.

talk of thy power; to make known to the sons of men his

kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and merciful
in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call
upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the
desire of them that fear him; he also will hear their cry, and
will save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him;
but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak the
praise of the Lord; and let all flesh bless his holy Name for

Psalm cxlvi.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul. While I

live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God
while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in
the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth
forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his
purposes perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob
for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Which
made heaven and earth, the sea and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever: which executeth judgment
for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The
Lord looseth prisoners: the Lord openeth the eyes of the
blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the
Lord loveth the righteous: the Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way
of the wicked he subverted!. The Lord shall reign for ever,
thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our

God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. The Lord doth
build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of
Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their
wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them
all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power his
understanding is infinite. The Lord hfteth up the meek: he
casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the Lord
with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God
who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for
the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains He
giveth to the beast his food, and to the >oung ravens which
cry. He delighteth not in the strength of the hors,e he taketh
no pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in
them that fear him, in those that hope for his mercy. Praise
the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. For he hath
strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. He maketh thy border peace, he filleth thee
with the fat of the wheat. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. He giveth
snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He
casteth forth his ice like morsels: v ho can stand before his
cold? He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he
causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. He sheweth
his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto
Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his
judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm cxlviii
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens:

praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels:
praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon:

gavest him the name of Abraham; and foundest his heart
faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to ghe
the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites and the
Penzzites and the Jebusites and the Girgashites even to give it

righteous: and didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
and heardest their cry by the Red sea; and shewedst signs and
wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the
people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly
against them, and didst get thee a name, as it is this day And
thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went

Exodus xiv. 30xv
18.
Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the
Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea
shore. And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did
upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and his servant Moses.
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the
Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he
hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath
he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation: my father's God, and I will exalt him.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his
chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
The deeps covered them: they sank into the depths as a stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power: thy right hand,
O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest
them that rise up against thee: thou sendest forth thy
wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the
depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide
the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw
my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty ones? who
is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing
wonders?
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand ; the earth swallowed them.
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy
holy habitation.
The people have heard, they tremble: pangs have taken hold
on the inhabitants of Phihstia.

Terror and dread fall upon them ; by the greatness of thine

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

For sovereignty is the Lord s : and he is ruler over the

nations. And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to
judge the mount of Esau and sovereignty shall be the
Lord s. And the Lord shall be King over all the earth ;
in that day shall the Lord be One and his Name One. And
in thy Law it is written : Hear, O Israel : the Lord our
God, the Lord is One.
,
On the Rejoicing of the Law the following is added:

The soul of sages, learned in the Scroll,
Their heritage, called children of the free
Lord, plant their soul a deathless plant to be :
His Law is perfect , it restores the soul.
Soul that art guarding treasures, now arise,
Mighty and sinless, wise in words revealed ;
Ah, Lord, may this soul ruleand I be healed :
His word is true ; it makes the simple wise.
The soul of sons of knowledgewith a voice
Glad from the heart's well-beingshall impart
The hidden secrets dwelling in the heart :
Hts laws are right; they make the heart rejoice.

Lord, let the soul of sons that hold aright

The scales of justicelet their soul make clear
Thy beauty, let it help the ears to hear:
Pure His command; unto the eyes a light.
Honour the soul of them that have for stay
The know ledge of Thy Law \\ ithin their heart;
Support their footsteps lest they fall apart;
Unsullied is His fear; it stands for aye.
Those loved of Thee, the singing of their soul
Exalting Thee, their hand a two-edged sword
For ever shall their soul extol Thy word
True are His judgments, they arc justice whole.
The soul of those assembled in their throng
In lands of exile; all those left of Thine,
Scatteredtheir soul shall praise Thee when they shine
Enthroned again where glory and grace belong,
Saying "Would, like the sea, our mouth were full ot song !

The breath of every living thing shall bless thy Name, O

Lord our God, and the spirit of all flesh shall glorify and extol
thy memorial, O our King, continually. From everlasting unto
everlasting thou art God, and beside thee w e have no King, O
thou who redeemest and savest, who rescuest and deliverest,
who supportest and hast compassion at all times of trouble and
distress. Yea, we have no King but thee.
Thou art the God
of the first and of the last, God of all creatures, Lord of all
generations, adored in innumerable praises, governing thy
world with loving-kindness and thy creatures with compassion. Lo, the Lord slumbereth not nor sleepeth, but arouseth
sleepers and awakeneth them that slumber. He maketh the

ation as the fulness of its waves, and our lips of praise as the
plains of the firmament: though our eyes gave light as the
sun and moon: though our hands were outspread as the eagles
of heaven, and our feet were swift as hinds, yet should we be
unable to thank thee, O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
and to bless thy Name for even one of the countless thousands
and tens of thousands of kindnesses which thou hast done by
our fathers and by us. From Egypt didst thou redeem us, O
Lord our God, and from the house of bondage thou didst release us; in famine thou didst feed us and in time of plenty it
was thou who didst sustain us. Thou hast delivered us from
the sword, saved us from pestilence and rescued us from dire
and lingering sicknesses. Until now thy merries have helped
us and thy loving-kindnesses have not failed us; and mayest
thou never forsake us, O Lord our God. Therefore the members which thou hast planted in us, and the spirit and the soul
which thou hast breathed into us. and the tongue which thou
hast placed in our mouths, lo, they shall thank and bless, extol
and glorify, exalt, reverence, hallow and do homage to thy
Name, O our King. For every mouth shall thank thee and
every tongue shall swear allegiance unto thee. Before thee
shall every knee bend and every stature be prostrated. Every
heart shall fear thee, and the inward parts and reins shall all
sing praises to thy Name, even as it is written: All my bones
shall say, O Lord who is like thee ? Thou dehverest the needy
from him that is stronger than he, yea, the needy and poor
from him that spoileth him. Who is like unto thee, who is
equal to thee, who can be compared to thee, O God, great,
mighty, awful and supreme God, founder of heaven and earth?
We will praise thee, extol thee and glorify thee; we will bless
thy holy Name, as it is said by David, Bless the Lord, O my
soul, and all my inward parts his holy Name.

There is none to be compared unto thee, neither is there any

There is none to be compared unto thee, O Lord our God, in
this world, neither is there any beside thee, O our King, for
the life of the world to come; there is none but thee, O our
Redeemer, for the days of the Messiah; neither is there any
like unto thee, O our Saviour, for the resurrection of the dead.
God, the Lord over all works, blessed is he; yea, blessed by
the mouth of everything that hath breath. His greatness and
goodness fill the Universe; knowledge and understanding surround him. He is exalted above the holy Chayoth, and is
adorned in glory above the Chariot ; purity and rectitude are
before his throne; loving-kindness and mercy before his glory.
The luminaries are good which our God hath created; he
formed them with knowledge, understanding and discernment;
he gave them might and power to rule in the midst of the
world. They are full of lustre, they radiate brightness;
beautiful is their lustre over all the world. They rejoice in
their going forth, and are glad in their coming in, performing
with awe the will of their Master. Glory and honour they
render unto his Name, joy and song at the remembrance of his
sovereignty. He caileth unto the sun, and it shineth forth in
light; he looketh and setteth the phases of the moon. All the
hosts on high give praise unto him: the Seraphim, the Ophanim and the holy Chayoth render glory and greatness

Therefore let all his creatures glorify and bless God; let them

To the name of God, the great, mighty and awful King; holy
is he; and they all take upon themselves the yoke of the kingdom of heaven one from the other, and they give leave one unto
the other, to declare the holiness of their Creator. I n tranquil
spirit, with pure speech and holy melody they all respond in
unison and exclaim with awe:
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full
of his glory.
And the Ophanim and holy Chayoth with a sound of m'^hty
rushing raise themselves toward the Seraphim, and thus confronting each the other, they utter praise and say, Blessed be
the glory of the Lord from his place.
To the blessed God they offer sweet song; to the King, the
living and ever-enduring God, they utter hymns and make their
praises heard; for he alone worketh mighty deeds, and maketh
new things. He is the Lord of battles; he soweth righteousness, causeth salvation to spring forth and createth remedies.
He is fearful in praises. He is the Lord of wonders, who in
his goodness reneweth the creation every day continually, as
it is said: Give thanks to him that made great lights: for his
mercy endureth for ever. O cause a new light to shine upon
Zion, and may we all soon be worthy of its brightness. Blessed

MORNING

On the second day of Passover.
Beloved, hasten to Thy habitation,

And from Thy covenant although we err.
Remember, pray, Thy tabernacle's station,
And all Thy promised grace <jn us confer,
Thy city rearing on its old foundation,
Which I above my chiefest joy prefer.
Beloved, hasten to Thy shrine in Zion,
And though from Thy appointed path we stray,
Yet cast we pray no unrelenting eye on
Thy hapless folk upon their thorny way,
Nor let Thy wrath go roaring like a lion,
But shelter them beneath Thy wings for aye.
Beloved hasten to Thy haunt primeval,
And though base treachery our souls enfold,
Yet take our silent prajer for retrieval,
And from the miry depths our feet uphold,
Redeem the nation guarded through all evil,
As at this first of months in days of old.
For the fathers' sake thou wilt save the children, yea. and bring redemption unto
their children's children Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast redeemed Israel
On the intermediate Sabbath of Passover
Beloved, hasten to Thy hallowed dwelling,
And though our wanton ways have vexed Thy face,
Behold our woe, all other woe excelling,
Thou art our only strength and resting-place,
With hope in Thee our hearts are daily swelling,
O make us watered gardens of Thy grace.
Beloved, hasten to our shrine all-holy,
And though Sin claims us almost for its own,
Behold how bound in chains we cower lowly,
Thou art the sacred Saviour, Thou alone;
To Thee we give ourselves in prayer wholly,
O grant redemption from Thy lofty throne.
Beloved, hasten to our righteous city,
And though we lent no ear to lore divine,
Behold us now consumed, a thing of pity,
Thou art our Judge, we make our burden Thine.
Our Legislator, hear our mournful ditty,
O send the strength and peace for which we pine.
Beloved, hasten to Thy habitation,
And though impatiently we spurned Thy rein,
Behold the measure of our tribulation,
Thou art the comforter of every pain;
We look to Thee to free our captive nation,
And in our boundaries be hymned again.
Beloved, hasten to Thy seat uplifted,
And though presumption did our duty whelm,
Behold to what distresses we have drifted,
Thou art the liberator of our realm;
Our pleading trust in Thee hath never shifted,
O place upon our head salvation's helm
For the fathers' sake thou wilt save the children, yea, and bring redemption unto their children's children Blessed art thou, O Lord, who
hast redeemed Israel.

The day the saved of God
Traversed the deep dryshod,
Then a new song Sang Thy redeemed throng
Lo, sunken in deceit
The Egyptian daughter's feet,
But lo, the Shulamite
Went shod in fair delight.
Then a new song Sang Thy redeemed throng
All that on Jeshurun gaze
Shall see him shrined in praise,
For Jeshurun's God arose
Acclaimed by his foes.
Then a new song Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Thy banners Thou wilt set
O'er those remaining yet,
And gather those forlorn
As gathering ears of corn.
Those that have come to Thee
Under Thy seal to be,
They from the birth are thine
Bound by a holy sign.
Their token show to all
Whose eyes upon them fall:
Lo, on their garments' hem
The fringe ordained for them
For whom then are they sealed
Let truth be now revealed.
Whose is the seal, and who
Shall claim the thread of blue""
Ah, take her as of yore,
And cast her forth no more
Let sunlight crown her day
And shadows flee away.
For Thy beloved throng
Still come to Thee with song,
Singing with one accord:
"Now who is like Thee 'mid the gods, O Lord?"
Still Thy redeemed throng Sing a ,new song

For the fathers' sake thou wilt s.ue the children \ea, and bring redemption unto
their children's children Blessed ait thou, O Lord, who hast redeemed Israel

inscribed the observance of the Sabbath, and thus it is written
in thy L a w :
And the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath to observe
the Sabbath throughout their generations, as an everlasting
covenant. Between me and the children of Israel it is a sign for
ever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on
the seventh day he ceased from work and rested.
And thou didst not give it, O Lord our God, unto the nations of other lands, nor grant it, O our King, as an inheritance
for idolaters, nor do the heathen repose in its rest. But unto
thy people Israel didst thou give it in love, unto the seed of
Jacob, whom thou didst choose.

Psalm cxm
Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord:

praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of
the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is
praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory
above the heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our Gpd, who
dwelleth on high, who humbleth himself to regard the heavens
and the earth! He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and
lifteth the needy out of the dunghill, that he may set him with
princes, even with the princes of his people. He maketh the
barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of
children; praise ye the Lord.
Psalm rxiv
When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob

from a people of strange language, Judah was his sanctuary,
and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was
driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little
hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest, thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains,
that ye skipped like rams: and ye little hills, like lambs? At

our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath
pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's
hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they,
but they see not. They have ears, but they hear not noses
have they, but they smell not: they have hands, but they
handle not; feet ha\ e they, but the} \\ alk not: neither speak
they through their throat They that make them are like unto
them: so is e \ery one that trusteth in them. O Israel, trust
thou in the Lord, he is their help and their shield. O house
of Aaron, trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield
Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and

The Lord hath been mindful of us; he will bless us: he will
bless the house of Israel; he w ill bless the house of Aaron. He
will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. The
Lord shall increase you, you and your children. Blessed are ye
of the Lord who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even
the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the
children of men. The dead praise not the Lord, neither any
that go down into silence. But we will bless the Lord from

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my

supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The cords of
death compassed me, and the straits of Sheol gat hold upon
me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name
of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious
is the Lord, and righteous: yea, our God is merciful. The
Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped
me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul: for the Lord hath dealt
bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from
death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will
walk before the Lord in the land of the living I believed
when I spake, I was greatly afflicted. I said in my haste, A l l

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O L o r d ;

neither are there any works like unto thy works. Thy
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord reigneth :
the Lord hath reigned : the Lord will reign for ever and
ever. The Lord will give strength unto his people ; the
Lord will bless his people with peace.
Father of compassion, do good in thy favour unto Zion ;
build thou the walls of Jerusalem. For in thee alone do
we put our trust, O King, high and exalted God, Lord of

MORNING SERVICE
The
Ark
is
opened.
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
said: Rise up, O Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered, and
let them that hate thee flee before thee. For out of Zion shall
go forth the Law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Blessed be the name, of the Sovereign of the world! Blessed
be thy crown, and thine abiding-place! May thy favor
be with thy people Israel for ever; and the triumphant power
of thy right hand show to thy people in thy sanctuary; let the
beneficence of thy splendor stream upon us, and receive our
supplications in mercy. May it be thy will to prolong our lives
in well being, and that I may have my place appointed me
among the righteous, and thou have mercy on me and protect
me and all that are mine, as well as all thy people Israel. Thou
feedest all, and sustainest all; thou rulest over a l l ; rulest
over Kings, and the kingdom is thine.
I , the servant of
the Holy One, blessed be He, b o w down before Him and

the splendor of His Law at all times and seasons. I place
not my reliance in mortal man, or in any being to whom
divine attributes are ascribed, but on God in heaven, who
is the sole true God, whose doctrine is truth, and whose
prophets are true, and who abundantly bestowed His
kindness and truth. In Him do I trust, and unto His name,
all holy and revered, will I ever offer praise.May it be thy
gracious will to open my heart in thy Law, and to grant my

or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven
days under its dam : and from the eighth day and thenceforth i t shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering
made by fire unto the Lord. And whether i t be cow or ewe,
ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. And
when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord,
ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted. On the same
day it shall be eaten ; ye shall leave none of it until the
morning : I am the Lord. And ye shall keep my commandments, and do them : I am the Lord. And ye shall not
profane my holy name ; but I will be hallowed among the
children of Israel: I am the Lord which hallow you, that
brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God : I
am .the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, The appointed seasons
of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations :
even these are my appointed seasons. Six days shall work
be done ; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn

it is a sabbath unto the Lord in all your dwellings.
These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, even holy

For the 'First Day :
Zechariah xiv.
Behold, a day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be
divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations
against Jerusalem to battle ; and the city shall be taken, and
the houses rifled, and the women ravished: and half of the city
shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go
forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in
the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon
the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof
toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a
very great valley : and half of the mountain shall remove
toward the north, and half of i t toward the south. And
ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains ; for the valley
of the mountains shall reach unto Azal; yea, ye shall flee,
like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of
Uzziah king of Judah : and the Lord my God shall come,
and all the holy ones with thee.
For the Second Day
I ICings viii. 2 - 2 L
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king
Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is.the
seventh month. And all the elders of Israel came, and the
priests took up the ark. And they brought up the ark of the
Lord, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that
were in the tent : even those did the priests and the Levites
bring up. And king Solomon, and all the congregation
of Israel," that were assembled unto him, were with him
before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be
told nor numbered for multitude. And the priests brought
in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, into
the innermost place of the house, to the most holy place,
even under the wings of the cherubim. For the cherubim
spread forth their wings over the place of the ark : and the
cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

HAPHTORAHFIRST AND SECOND
DAYS
OF TABERNACLES
For the First Day :
And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall be
neither bright light nor gloom. But it shall be one day
which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but
it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out
from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea,
and half of them toward the hinder sea : in summer and in
winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all the
earth : in that day shall the Lord be one, and his name one.
All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon
south of Jerusalem : and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited
in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first
gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel
unto the king's winepresses* And men shall dwell in it,
and there shall be no more utter destruction ; but Jerusalem
shall dwell in safety.
For the Second Day :
And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves
were seen out in the holy place before the innermost place,
and they were not seen without. and there they are unto
this day.
There was nothing in the ark save the two
tables of stone which Moses. put there at Horeb, when the
Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when
they came out of the land of Egypt. And it came to pass
when the priests were come out of the holy place, that
the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests
could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the
glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. Then
spake Solomon : The Lord said that he would dwell in the

HAPHTORAHFTRST A X D SECOND DAYS

OF TABERNACLES
For the First Day :
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will

smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem :
their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their
feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and
their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it
shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from
the Lord shall be among them : and they shall lay hold
every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall
rise up against the hand of his neighbour. And Judah also
shall fight at Jerusalem : and the wealth of all the nations
round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver,
and apparel, in great abundance. And so shall be the
plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of
the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these camps :
even as this plague.
For the Second Day :
people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all

the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might
be there : but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
And it was in the heart of David my father, to build an
house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
And the
Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine
heart to build an house unto my name : thou didst well
that it was in thine heart. Nevertheless thou shalt not
build the house : but thy son that shall come forth out of
thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. And the
Lord hath performed his word that he spake : and I am
risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne
of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built an house
for the name of the Lord God of Israel. And I have set
there a place for the ark wherein is the covenant of the
Lord, which he made with our fathers when he brought
them out of the land of Egypt.

HAPHTORAHFIRST DAY
OF TABERNACLES
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all
the nations which came against Jerusalem : even they shall
go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of
hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be,
that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth
unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts,
upon them shall be no ram. And if the family of Egypt
go not up, and come not, that have none : there shall be
the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the nations that
come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be
the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. I n that
day shah there be upon the bells of the horses, H O L I N E S S
U N T O T H E L O R D : and the pots in the Lord's house
shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in
Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of
hosts ; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of
them, and seethe therein : and in that day there shah be
no more a trafficker in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Exodus xxxm. 12-xxxiv. 26.
And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me,
Bring up this people ; and thou hast not let me know
whom thou wilt send with me : yet thou hast said, I know
thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy
sight, shew me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the
end that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that
this nation is thy people. And he said : My presence shall
go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto
him : I f thy presence go not with me, c a n y us not up hence.
For wherein now shall it be known that I have found grace
in thy sight, I and thy people ? is it not in that thou goest
with us : so that we be distinguished, I and thy people,
from all the people that are upon the face of the earth

And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also
that thou hast spoken : for thou hast found grace in my
sight, and I know thee by name. And he said, Shew me, I
pray thee, thy glory. And he said, I will make all my
goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of the
Lord before thee : and I will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy
And he said, Thou canst not see my face : for man shall not
see me and live. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a
place by me : and thou shalt stand upon the rock. And
it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will
put thee in a cleft of the rock : and I will cover thee with
my hand until I have passed by. And I will take away
mine hand, and thou shalt see my back : but my face shall
not be seen.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of
stone like unto the first : and I will write upon the tables
the words that were on the first tables, which thou brakest.
And be ready by the morning : and come up in the morning
unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the
top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee,
neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount :
neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
And he hewed, two tables of stone like unto the first; and
Moses T0se up early in the morning, and went up unto mount
Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him : and he took in his
hand two tables of stone. And the Lord descended in the
cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name
of the Lord. And the Lord passed by before him, and
proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of compassion
and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and
truth; keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity,
transgression and sin ; and that will by no means clear the
guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children,
and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon
the fourth generation. And Moses made haste, and bowed
toward the earth, and worshipped. And he said, I f now I
have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I

thee, go in the midst of us: for it is a stififnecked people;

and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine
inheritance. And he said, Behold, I make a covenant;
before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been
wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people
among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord, for it is
a terrible thing that I do with thee. Observe thou that which
I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the
Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, lest
thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither
thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: but ye
shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars,
and ye shall cut down their Asherim; for thou shalt worship
no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous
God: lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land: and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice
unto their gods, and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice,
and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons: and their
daughters go astray after their gods, and make thy sons go
astray after their gods. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days
thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the
time appointed in the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou
earnest out from Egypt. All that openeth the womb is mine,
and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of ox and sheep.
And the firstlings of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb;
and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck:
all the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem, and none shall
appear before me empty. Six days thou shalt work, but on
the sceventh day thou shalt rest: in plowing time and in
harvest thou shalt rest. And thou shalt observe the feast of
weeks, even of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast
of ingathering at the turn of the year. Three times in the
year shall all thy males appear before the Lord God, the God
of Israel. For I will cast out nations before thee, and
enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land.

Ezekiel xxxvui. 18-xxxix. 16.
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog
shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God:
that my fury shall come up in my nostrils. For in my
jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken : Surely
in that day there shall be a great quaking in the land of
Israel; so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the
heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that
creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face
of the earth, shall quake at my presence: and the mountains
shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and
every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a
sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the
Lord God : every man's sword shall be against his brother.
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood :
and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the
many peoples that are with him, an overflowing rain, and
great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify
myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in, the eyes
of many nations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
And thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say.
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I am against thee O Gog,
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. And I will turn thee
about, and lead thee on, and will cause thee to come up
from the uttermost north parts : and I will bring thee upon
the mountains of Israel. And I will smite thy bow out of
thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy
right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel,
thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee : I
will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and
to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall
upon the open field : for I have spoken it, saith the Lord
God. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them
that dwell securely in the isles : and they shall know that I
am the Lord. And my holy name will I make known in the
midst of my people Israel; and I will not suffer my holy name
to be profaned any more : and the nations shall know
that I am the Lord, the holy One in Israel.
Behold, it
comcth, and it shall be done, saith the Lord God : this is
the day whereof I have spoken. And they that dwell in the
cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn
the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows

they shall burn them with fire seven years. And they shall
take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of
the forests ; for they shall burn the weapons with fire :
and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and take prey
of those that took prey of them, saith the Lord God. And
it shall come to pass in that day, that I w.ll give unto Gog
a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of them that pass
through, on the east of the sea ; and it shall stop them that
pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his
multitude ; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of
them, that they may cleanse the land. Yea, all the people
of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a
renown : the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.
And they shall sever out men of continual employment,
that shall pass through the land to bury them that pass
through, that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse

they that pass through the land shall pass through, and
when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by
it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog,
And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah; thus
shall they cleanse the land.

money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for

sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy
soul asketh of thee : and thou shalt eat there before the Lord
thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household.
And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not
forsake him : for he hath no portion nor inheritance with
thee. At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth
all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay
\t up within thy gates. And the Levite, because he hath no
portion nor inheritance with thee, shall come, and the stranger,
and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates,
and they shall eat and be satisfied : that the Lord thy God
may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
And this is the manner of the release ; every creditor shaD
release that which he hath lent unto his neighbour : he shall
not exact it of his neighbour and his brother; because the
Lord's release hath been proclaimed. Of a foreigner thou
mayest exact i t : but whatsoever of thine is with thy
brother thine hand shall release. Howbeit there shall be
no poor with thee : for the Lord will surely bless thee in
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inhentance to possess it ; if only thou diligently hearken unto
the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all this
commandment which I command thee this day. For the
Lord thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee : and
thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not
borrow ; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they
shall not rule over thee. If there be with thee i poor man,
one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden
thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother.
But thou shalt surely open thine hand unto him, ahd shalt
surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he
wanteth. Beware that there be not an unworthy thought
in thine heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release,
is at hand ; and thine eye be. evil against thy poor brother,
and thou give him nought: and he cry unto the Lord against
thee, and it be sin unto thee. Thou shalt surely give him,
and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest

shall bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest
thine hand unto. For the poor shall never cease out ,of the
land : therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely
open thine hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to
thy poor, in thy land. If thy brother, an Hebrew man, or
an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six
years : then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free
from thee. And when thou lettest him go free from thee,
thou shalt not let him go empty. Thou shalt furnish him
liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor,
and out of thy winepress: as the Lord thy God hath blessed
thee thou shalt give unto him. And thou shalt remember
that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the
Lord thy God redeemed thee : therefore I command thee
this thing to-day. And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I
will not go out from thee : because he loveth thee and
thine house, because he is well with thee; then thou shalt
take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door,
and he shall be thy servant for ever ; and also unto thy
maidservant thou shalt do likewise. I t shall not seem hard
unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to
the double of the hire of an hireling hath he served thee
six years: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all
that thou doest.
All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of
thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord thy God : thou
shalt do no work with the firstling of thine ox, nor shear the
firstling of thy flock. Thou shalt eat it before the Lord
thy God year by year in the place which the Lord shall choose,
thou and thy household. And if it have any blemish, as if it
be lame or blind, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not
sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt eat it within
thy gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the
gazelle, and as the hart. Only thou shalt not eat the blood
thereof: thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water.
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto
the Lord thy G o d : for in the month of Abib the Lord thy
God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. And thou
shalt sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the
flock and the herd, in the place which the Lord shall choose
to cause his name to dwell there. Thou shalt eat no

for thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste ;
tnat thou mayest remember the day when thou earnest
forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. And
there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders
seven days : neither shall any of the flesh, which thou
saenfkest the first day at even, remain all night until the
morning. Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within
any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee. But
at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to cause
his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover
at even : at the going down of the sun, at the season that
thou earnest forth out of Egypt. And thou shalt roast and
eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose : and
thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents. Six
days thou shalt eat unleavened bread : and on the seventh
day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God ; thou
shalt do no work therein. Seven weeks shalt thou number
unto thee : from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to
the standing corn shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy
God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which
thou shalt give, according as the Lord thy God blesseth
thee. And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God,
thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant,
and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy
gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow,
that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the Lord
thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. And
thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in E g y p t :
and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, aftei
that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from
thy winepress. And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou,
and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and
thy maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the
fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. Seven
days shalt thou keep a feast unto the Lord thy God in the
place which the Lord shall choose : because the Lord thy
God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work
of thine hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful. Three
times in the year shall all thy males appear before the L o i d

he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a
loud voice, saying, Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest
unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised :
there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which
he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. The Lord
our God be with us, as he was with our fathers : let him

L o r d our God day and night: that he maintain the cause of
his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as
each day shall require ; that all the people of the earth
may know that the Lord is G o d : there is none else. Let
your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to
walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at
-this day. And the king and all Israel with him, offered
sacrifice before the Lord. And Solomon offered a sacrifice
of peace-offerings, which he offered unto the Lord, two and
twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand
sheep : and the king and all the children of Israel dedicated
-the house of the Lord. The same day did the king hallow
the middle of the court that was before the house of the
Lord ; for there he offered the burnt-offering, and the mealoffering, and the fat of the peace-offerings: because the brasen
altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive the
burnt-offering and the meal-offering, and the fat of the
peace-offerings. And at that time Solomon held a feast,
and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the
entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the
Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen
days. On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they
blessed the king : and they went unto their tents joyful
and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had
done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
Blessings after the
Haphtorah.

Unto thee it was shown that thou mightest know that
the Lord he is G o d : there is none else beside him. Give
thanks to him who alone doeth great wonders : for his
mercy endureth for ever. There is none like unto thee
among the gods, O L o r d ; neither are there any works

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers :
let him not leave us, nor forsake us. And say ye, Save us,
O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver
us from the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy Name
and to triumph in thy praise.
The Lord reigneth: the Lord hath reigned : the Lord

The Lord will give strength unto his people ; the Lord
will bless his people with peace. A n d may our words be

Arise, O Lord, unto thy resting-place ; thou, and the ark

Deuteronomy xxxin.-xxxiv.
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of

God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And
he said, The Lord came from Sinai and rose from Seir

came from the ten thousands of holy ones : at his right
hand was a fiery law unto them. Y e a , he loveth the
peoples ; all his saints are in thy hand : and they sat
down at thy feet ; every one shall receive of thy words.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly
of Jacob. And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads
of the people were gathered, the tribes of Israel together.
Let Reuben live, and not die : yet let his men be numbered.
And this unto Judah ; and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice
of Judah, and bring him unto his people : let his hands be
sufficient for h i m ; and be thou an help against his
adversaries.
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are

of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him ; he covereth him all
the day long, and he dwelleth between his shoulders. And of
Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land : for the precious
things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth
beneath: and for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,
and for the precious things of the growth of the moons : and
for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious

earth and fulness thereof, and the good will of him that dwelt
in the bush: let this come upon the head of Joseph, and upon
the crown of the head of him that was separated from his
brethren. His majesty is like his firstling bullock, and his horns
are like the horns of the wild ox; with them he shall push the
peoples together to the ends of the earth: and they are the
ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of
Manasseh. And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy
going out: and, Issachar, in thy tents. They shall call the
peoples unto the mountain; there shall they offer sacrifices of
righteousness: for they shall suck the abundance of the seas,
and the treasures hid in the sand. And of Gad he said, Blessed
be he that enlargeth Gad : he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth
the arm, even the crown of the head. And he chose the first
part for himself; for there was a portion of the lawgiver reserved: and he came with the heads of the people, he executed
the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel. And of
Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and
full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and
the south. And of Asher he said, Blessed above children be
Asher: let him be acceptable unto his brethren, and let him
dip his foot in oil. Thy shoes shall be iron and copper: and
as thy days, so shall thy strength be. There is none like unto
God, O Jeshurun : he rideth upon the heaven for thy help,
and in his excellency on the skies.

READING OF T H E LAWNINTH DAY

The following section is then read from the second Scroll I
Genesis i.-ii. 3.
I n the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness
was upon the face of the deep : and the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let
there be light: and there was hght. And God saw the
light, that it was good: and God divided the light from
the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night: and there was evening and there
was morning, one day.
And God said. Let there be a firmament in the midst of
the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters
which were under the firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament : and it was so. And God
called the firmament Heaven : and there was evening and
there was morning, a second day.
And God said. Let the waters under the heaven be
gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land
appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land
Earth ; and the gathering together of the waters called he
Seas : and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let
the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the
fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth : and it was so. And the earth
brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after hiJund,
and the tree yielding fruit, whpse seed was in itself, after
his kind : and God saw that it was good. And there was
evening and there was morning, a third day.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of
the heaven to divide the day from the night : and let them
be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven
to give hght upon the earth : and it was so. And God

made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night ; he made the stars
also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth : and to rule over the day
and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness : and God saw that it was good. And there was
evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the
moving creature that hath life : and fowl that may fly
above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And
God created the great sea-monsters: and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after
his kind ; and God saw that it was good. And God blessed
them, saying : Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters
in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And there
was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature
after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the
earth after his kind : and it was so. And God made the
beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind,
and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind : and God saw that it was good. And God said, L e t
us make man m our image, after our likeness : and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth. And God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him : male, and female created he
them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue i t : and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I
have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree, in
which is the
fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat.

courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an

inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to
give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law,
which Moses my servant commanded thee : turn not from
it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper
whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not
depart out of thy mouth ; but thou shalt meditate therein
day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is writtelS therein : for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good
courage ; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever
thou goest. Then Josjma commanded the officers of the
people, saying. Pass through the midst of the camp, and
command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals: for
.within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in
to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you
to possess it. And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites,
and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given
you rest, and hath given you this land. Your wives, youi
little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which
Moses gave you on this side Jordan ; but ye shall pass
before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour,
and help them; until the Lord have given your brethren
rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed
the land which the Lord your God giveth them : then ye
shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it,
which Moses the Lord's servant gave you on this side
Jordan toward the sunrising And they answered Joshua,
saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and
whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. According as
we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken
unto thee : only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was
with Moses. Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy
commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all
that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death :
only be strong and of a good courage.

ascended heavenwards into the midst of the cloud, and who

midst of the cloud, yea and he beheld the glory of our God.
Prince of princes was Moses our teacher, father of the wise
and chief of prophets. He held back the sea by his prayer,
and by his messenger turned fierce wrath aside. The L o r d
answered and said unto his people, I am the Lord thy God
who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage. They all made utterance and said, The
Lord shall reign for ever and ever. Moses cried with a
great and bitter cry in the hour when the Holy One, blessed
be he, spake unto him, Get thee up and die in the mountain.
He rent his garments and lifted up his voice, saying, O
Joshua, son of Nun, I pray thee tend my sheep. From the
crest of Pisgah Moses beheld the inheritance of the tribes
who stood before him. There died Moses, the servant of
the Lord. Opposite Beth-peor our God gathered him to
himself. The prayer of Moses rent the sky, and the eternal
Rock answered his people in the time of their sorrow. His
prayer never returned empty ; for a faithful servant was
Moses unto Israel.
Moses died. Who shall not die ? A t the command of
the L o r d died Moses, our teacher.
This Feast of the Law all your gladness display.

His glory proclaim where His chosen sons pray;
My Rock all my trust shall engender.
Then exult in the Law on its festival day,
The Law is our Light and Defender.
My heart of Thy goodness shall carol alway.
Thy praises I ever will render;
While breath is, my lips all Thy wonders shall say
Thy truth and Thy kindness so tender.
Then exult in the Law on its festival day.

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto
them: Draw out, and take you of the flock according to your
families, and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of
hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike
the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the
basin: and none of you shall go out of the door of his house
until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the
Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the hntal and
on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and
will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to
smite you. And ye .shall observe this thing, for an ordinance
to thee and to thy sons for ever. And it shall come to pass,
when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you,
according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service,
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto
you: What mean ye by this service? that ye shall say, I t is the
sacrifice of a passover unto the Lord, for that he passed over
the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote
the Egyptians, and delivered our houses; and the people
bowed the head and worshipped. And the children of Israel
went and did so as the Lord had commanded Moses and
Aaron, so did they.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the Lord smote
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of
Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the
captive that was in the dungeon: and all the firstborn of
cattle And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his

and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both
ye and the children of Israel: and go, serve the Lord, as ye
have said. Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have
said, and be gone: and bless me also. And the Egyptians were
urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste:
for they said, We be all dead men. And the people took their
dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being
bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses: and they
asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold, and
raiment. And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight
of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked:
and they spoiled the Egyptians.
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men,
beside children. And a mixed multitude went up also with
them, and flocks and herds, even very much cattle. And they
baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth
out of Egypt, for it was not leavened: because they were
thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they
prepared for themselves any victual. Now the sojourning of
the children of Israel, which they sojourned in Egypt, was
four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the
end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it
came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the
land of Egypt. It is a night of watching unto the Lord for
bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of
the Lord, to be much observed of all the children of Israel
throughout their generations. And the Lord said unto Moses
and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall
no stranger eat thereof. But every man's servant that is
bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then
shall he eat thereof. A sojourner and an hired servant shall
not eat thereof. In one house shall it be eaten, thou shalt
not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house:
neither shall ye break a bone thereof. All the congregation
of Israel shall observe it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let
all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and

And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the
people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all
the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they
came forth out of Egypt. For all the people that came out
were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the
wilderness by the way, as they came forth out of Egypt, they
had not circumcised. For the children of Israel walked forty
years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war
which came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they
hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord
sware that he would not let them see the land which the Lord
sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing
with milk and honey. And their children, whom he.raised up
in their stead, them did-Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised because they had not circumcised them by the way.
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the
nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they
were whole. And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I
rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you: wherefore
the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day. And
the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal: and they kept the
passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the
plains of Jericho. And they did eat of die old corn of the land
on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and
parched corn, in the selfsame day. And the manna ceased on
the morrow, after they had eaten of the old corn of the land;
neither had the children of Israel manna any more: but they
did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he
lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man
over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and
Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or
for our adversaries? And he said, Nay: but as captain of the
host of the Lord am I now come: and Joshua fell on his face
to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith
my lord unto his servant ? And the captain of the Lord's ho<t
said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the
place whereon thou standest is holy; and Joshua did so.

2 Kings xxiii
19 and 2125.
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders
of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up to the
house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the
prophets and all the people, both small and great: and he read
in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which
was found in the house of the Lord. And the king stood on the
platform, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after
the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies
and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm
the words of the covenant that were written in this book: and
all the people stood to the covenant. And the king commanded
Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order,
and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the
temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal
and for the Asherah and for all the host of heaven: and he
burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and
carried the ashes of them unto Bethel. And he put down the
idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to
burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in
the places round about Jerusalem: them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the planets
and to all the host of heaven. And he brought out the Asherah
from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook
Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it
small to powder, and he cast the powder thereof upon the
graves of the sons of the people. And he brake down the
houses of the devotees, that were by the house of the Lord,
where the women wove hangings for the Asherah. And
he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and
defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense,
from Geba to Beersheba: and he brake down the high
places of the gates that were at the entering in of the gate of
Joshuah the governor of the city, which were on a man's left
hand at the gate of the city. Nevertheless the priests of the
high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem,
hut they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the
Lord in Jerusalem. Moreover them that had familiar spirits,
and the wizards and the teraphim and the idols and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of

thee, go in the midst of us: for it is a stiffnecked people; and
pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. And he said, Behold, I make a covenant; before all thv
people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all
the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which
thou art shall see the work of the Lord, for it is a terrible thing
that I do with thee. Observe thou that which I command thee
this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the
Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite,
and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a
covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest,
lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: but ye shall break
down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ve shall
cut down their Asherim; for thou shalt worship no other god
for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: lest
thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land: and
they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their
gods, and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice, and thou
take of Iheir daughters unto thy sons: and their daughters go
astray after their gods, and make thy sons go astray after
their gods. Thou shah make thee 110 molten gods. The feast
of unleavened biead shalt thou keep; seven days thou shalt eat
unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed
in the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou earnest out
from Eg\pt. All that openeth the womb is mine, and all
thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of ox and sheep. And
the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and i f
thou wilt not redeem it, then thou :?halt break its neck: all
the firstborn of thy sons thou shall ledeem, and none shall
appear before me empty Six days thou shalt work, but on
the seventh day thou shall rest: in plowing time and in
harvest thou shalt rest. And thou shalt observe the feast
of weeks, even of the fust fiuits of wheat harvest, and the
feast of ingathering at the turn of the year. Three times in the
year shall all thy males appear before the Lord God, the God
of Israel. For 1 w ill cast out nations before thee, and
enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land,

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go,
that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near: for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to
Egypt. But God led the people about by the way of the wilderness, by the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up
armed out of the land of Egypt. And Moses took the bones
of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of
Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up
my bones away hence with you. And they took their journey
from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the
wilderness. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar
of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of
fire, to give them light: that they might go by day and by night.
He took not away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of
fire by night, from before the people.

I will get me honour upon Pharaoh and upon all his host; and
the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord: and they did so.
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled:
and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed
towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done,
that we have let Israel go from serving u s
And he made
ready his chariot, and took his people with him: and he took
six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt,
and captains over all of them. And the Lord hardened the
heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued after the
children of Israel: for the children of Israel went out with an
high hand. And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the
horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his
army: and he overtook them encamping by the sea, beside
Pi-hahiroth, before Baalzephon. And Pharaoh drew nigh : and
the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the
Egyptians marched after them: and they were sore afraid, and
the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. And they said
unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou
taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou
dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt? Is not
this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us
alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better
for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the
wilderness. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not,
stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will
shew to you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen
to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord
shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou

unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand
over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel
shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And

the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon

his chariots and upon his horsemen. And the angel of God,
which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behmd them: and the pillar of the cloud went from before their
face, and stood behind them. And it came between the camp
of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and there was the
cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: so that the
one came not near the other all the night. And Moses stretched
out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go
back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea
dry land: and the waters were divided. And the children of
Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and
the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand and on
their left. And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them
to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots
and his horsemen. And it came to pass, that in the morningwatch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of the cloud: and he discomforted the
host of the Egyptians And he took off their chariot-wheels,
and he made them to drive heavily; so that the Egyptians said,
Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for
them against the Egyptians.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
the sea: and the waters shall come again upon the Egyptians,
upon their chariots and upon their horsemen. And Moses
stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to
its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians
fled against it: and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the
midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the
chariots and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that
went in after them into the sea: there remained not so much
as one of them. But the children of Israel walked upon dry
land in the midst of the sea: and the waters were a wall unto
them on their right hand and on their left. Thus the Lord
saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and
Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. And Israel
saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians:
and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and his
servant Moses.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the
Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for
he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath
he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his
chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
The deeps covered them: they sank into the depths as a stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power: thy right hand,
O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest
them that rise up against thee: thou sendest forth thy
wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
together, the floods stoo<. upright as an heap, and the
depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide
the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them ; I will draw
my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Who is like unto thee O Lord, among the mighty ? who is like

wonders ?
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy

The people have heard, they tremble: pangs have taken hold
on the inhabitants of Philistia.
Then were the dukes of Edom amazed; the mighty men of

For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and
with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again
the waters of the sea upon them: but the children of Israel
walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand and all the women went out after her with
timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them:

And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they
went out into the wilderness of Shur: and they went three
days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they
came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,

Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying,
What shall we drink ? And he cried unto the L o r d ; and the
Lord shewed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and
the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute

The cords of Sheol compassed me about: the snares of death

Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundation of heaven

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he was seen upon
the wings of the wind.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering
of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered
his voice.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them : lightning and discomfited them.
Then the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the
world were laid bare by the rebuke of the Lord, at the

He sent from on high, he took me: he drew me out of many

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that hated

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes.
I did not depart from them.
I was perfect toward him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.
Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my
righteousness: according to my cleanness in His eyesight.
With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful: with the
upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright.
W ith the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure: and with the
perverse Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
And the afflicted people Thou wilt save: but Thine eyes are
upon the haughty, to bring them down.
For Thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten
my darkness.
For by Thee I run upon a troop: by my God do I leap over
a wall.
As for God, His way is perfect the word of the Lord is tried:
He is a shield unto all then\ that trust in Him.
For who is God, save the L o r d ' and who is a rock, save our
God?
God is my strong fortress: and He maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like hmds' feet: and setteth me upon my
high places.
He teacheth my hands to war: so that a bow of copper is
broken by mine arms.
Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy
gentleness hath made me great.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and mine ankles have
not slipped.
I have pursued mine enemies and destroyed them: neither did
I turn again till they were consumed.
And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that
they cannot arise. yea, they are fallen under my feet.
For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou
hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth: I did
stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread
them abroad.
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people:
Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people
whom I have not known shall serve me.
The sons of the stranger shall submit themselves unto me: as
soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
The sons of the stranger shall fade away, and shall come
trembling out of their close places.
The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock: and exalted be the
God of the rock of my salvation:
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth
down peoples under me,
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: yea, Thou
liftest me up above them that rise up against me: Thou
deliverest me from the violent man.
Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the
nations: and will sing praises unto Thy name.
He is a tower of salvation unto His king: and sheweth mercy
to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.

before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to
cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine

that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. And
if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to

Yet this da\ shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the

the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror:
and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty
shall be brought low. And he shall cut down the thickets of
the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse:
and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. And the spirit
of the Lord shall rest upon him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord" and his delight shall be in
the fear of the Lord. And he shall not judge after the sight
of his eyes, neither repro\e after the hearing of his ears. But
with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth
with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips
shall he slay the wicked And righteousness shall be the girdle
of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. And the
wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid and the caf and the young lion and the fatling
together; and a little chill shall lead them. And the cow and
the bear shall feed, their young ones shall lie down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child
shall plav on the hole of the asp and the weaned child shall
jiut his hand on the adder's den They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain for the earth shall be full of
the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse,
which standeth for an ensign of the peoples, unto him shall the
nations seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall again
the second time recover with his hand the remnant of his people,
which shall remain, from Assyria and from Egypt and from
Pathros and from Cush and from Elam and from Shinar and
from Hamath and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set
up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the dispersed
of Israel, and gather together the scattered of Judah from the
four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart and they that vex Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall
not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. And they
shall fly upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west;
together shall they spoil the children of the east: they shall
put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children
of Ammon shall obey them. And the Lord shall utterly destroy
the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his terrible wind
shall he shake his hand over the River: and he shall smite it
into seven streams, and cause men to march over dryshod.
And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people,
which shall remain, from Assyria: like as there was for Israel in the day he came up out of the land of Egypt.
And in that day thou shalt say, I will give thanks unto thee,
O L o r d ; for, though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is
turned away, and thou comfortest me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and I will not be afraid: for the Lord God
is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say, Give thanks unto the Lord, call
upon his name, declare his doings among the peoples, make mention that his name is exalted.
Sing unto the Lord; for he hath
done excellent things: let this be known in all the earth. Cry
aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy
One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Exodus xix,xx.
In the third month after the children of Israel were gone

forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they
into the wilderness of Sinai. And when they were departed
from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai,
they pitched in the wilderness: and there Israel camped
before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the
Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus
shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of
Israel: Y e have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and
how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and
keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto
me from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine. And
ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders
of the people and set before them all these words which the
Lord commanded him. And all the people answered together and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.
And Moses reported the words of the people unto the Lord.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick
cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and
may also believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of
the people unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go
unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and
let them wash their garments. They shall be ready against
the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down
in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai. And thou
shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take
heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or
touch the border of it: Whosoever toucheth the mount shall

shall surely be stoned or shot; whether it be beast or
man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long,
they shall come up to the mount. And Moses went down
from the mount unto the people and sanctified the people;
and they washed their garments. And he said unto the peopie, Be ready against the third day: come not near a woman.
And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning,
that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud
upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud:
and all the people that were in the camp trembled. And
Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet
God: and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And
mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because the Lord
descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended
as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked
greatly. And when the voice of the trurrmet waxed louder
and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of
the mount: and the Lord called Moses to the top of the
mount; and Moses went up.
And the Lord said unto
Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through
unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. And let
the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them. And Moses
said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount
Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about
the mount, and sanctify it. And the Lord said unto him,
Go, get thee down; and thou shalt come up, thou, and
Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people
break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break
forth upon them. So Moses went down unto the people,
and told them.

And God spake all these words, saying,

I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods beside me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor the
likeness of any form that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve
them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and
upon the fourth generation of them that hate me: and shewing mercy unto thousands, of them that love me and keep
my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in
vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh
his name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
shalt thou labour and do all thy work. But the seventh day
is a sabbath unto the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates For in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested
the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be
long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house: thou shalt not
covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy
neighbour's.
And all the people perceived the thunderings and the
lightnings and the voice of the trumpet and the mountain
smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled and
stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou
with us and we will hear: but let not God speak with us,
lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not;
for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before
you, that ye sin not. And the people stood afar off, and
Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

where I cause my name to be remembered I will come unto
thee and I will bless thee. And if thou make me an altar of

up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou
go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not
discovered thereon.

of Moses. It is a tree of life to them that lay hold of it, and
happy is every one that retaineth it. Its ways are ways of
pleasantness, and all its paths are peace. Length of days is in

READING O F T H E LAWFIRST DAY

OF FEAST OF WEEKS
Numbers xxvni. 26-31.
Also on the day of the firstfruits, when ye offer a new

meal-offering unto the Lord in your feast of weeks, ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto
the Lord: two young bullocks, one ram, seven he-lambs of
the first year: and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled
with oil: three tenth parts unto each bullock, two tenth
parts to the one ram: a several tenth part to each lamb of
the seven lambs: one he-goat to make atonement for you.
Beside the continual burnt offering and the meal-offering
thereof ye shall offer them ; they shall be unto you without
blemish, and their drink-offerings.

Haphtorah First
Day.
Ezekiel 1.
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth

month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the
exiles by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened,
and I saw visions of God. I n the fifth day of the month,
which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, the
word of fhe Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest,
the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river
Chebar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
And I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the
north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as the
colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. And out of
the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures;
and this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a
man. And every one had four faces, and every one of them

the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and
they sparkled like the colour of burnished copper. And
they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four
sides: and they four had their faces and their wings. Their
wings were joined one to another: they turned not when
they went; they went every one straight forward. A s
for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man;
and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and
they four had the face of an ox on the left side: they four
had also the face of an eagle. And their faces and their
wings were separate above: two wings of every one were
joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. And
they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit
was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance
was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches;
it went up and down among the living creatures: and the
fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
And the living creatures ran and returned, as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Now as I beheld the living
creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth beside the living
creatures, for each of the four faces thereof. The appearance
of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a
beryl; and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
When they went, they went upon their four sides: they
turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were
high and dreadful: and they four had their rings full of
eyes round about. And when the living creatures went,
the wheels went beside them: and when the living creatures
were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither
was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside
them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
When those went, these went; and when those stood, these
stood: and when those were lifted up from the earth, the
wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. And over the head of the
living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like
the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their
heads above. And under the firmament were their wings
straight, the one toward the other: every one had two

which covered on this side, and every one had two which
covered on that side, their bodies. And when they went,
I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters,
like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the
noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their
wings. And there was a voice above the firmament that
was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their
wings.
And above the firmament that was over their
heads was like the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of
a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was
a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of
fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins
and upward: and. from the appearance of his loins and
downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and
there was brightness round about him. As the appearance
of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so
was the appearance of the brightness round about; it was
the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord: and
when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of
one that spake.

thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household.
And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not
forsake him: for he hath no portion nor inheritance with
thee. At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth
all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay

release that which he hath lent unto his neighbour: he shall
not exact it of his neighbour and his brother; because the

an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six
years: then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free
from thee. And when thou lettest him go free from thee,
thou shalt not let him go empty. Thou shalt furnish h!1

thee thou shalt give unto him. And thou shalt remember
that thou wa>t a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the

for thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste;
that thou mayest remember the day when thou earnest
forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. And
there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders
seven days: neither shall any of the flesh, which thou
sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the
morning. Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within
any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee. But
at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to cause
his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover
at even: at the going down of the sun, at the season that
thou earnest forth out of Egypt. And thou shalt roast and
eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: and
thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents. Six
days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh
day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God; thou
shalt do no work therein. Seven weeks shalt thou number
unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to
the standing corn shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy
God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which

O Lord, I have heard the report of thee, and was afraid;

O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years: in the
midst of the years make it known: in wrath remember
mercy. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from
mount Paran; Selah: his glory covered the heavens, and
the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness was as
the light; he had rays coming forth from his hand: and
there was the hiding of his power. Before him went the
pestilence: and fiery bolts went forth at his feet. He
stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and drove
asunder the nations, and the eternal mountains were scattered, the everlasting hills did bow: his goings were as of
old. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: the curtains
of the land of Midian did tremble.
Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? was thine
anger against the rivers, or thy wrath against the sea,

of salvation? Thy bow was made quite bare, according to

thine oaths to the tribes, even thy word; Selah: thou didst
cleave the earth with rivers. The mountains saw thee and
were afraid; the tempest of waters passed by: the deep
uttered his voice and lifted up his hands on high. The sun
and moon stood still in their habitation, at the light of thme
arrows as they went, at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Thou didst march through the land in indignation: thou didst
thresh the nations in anger. Thou wentest forth for the
salvation of thy people, for the salvation of thine anointed:
thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked,
laying bare the foundation even unto the neck; Selah. Thou
didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors;
they came as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was
as to devour the poor secretly. Thou didst tread the sea with
thine horses, the heap of mighty waters. I heard, and my
belly trembled, my lips quivered at the voice; rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place: that I
should rest in the day of trouble, when it cometh up against
the people which invadeth him in troops. For though the
fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no
meat: the flock shall be cut off from the fold. ad there shall
be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the L o r d : I will
joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength,
and he maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and will make me to
walk upon mine high places.

Lord, what is man, that thou regardest him? or the son

of man, that thou takest account of him?
Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that
passeth away.
In the morning he bloometh and sprouteth afresh; in the
evening he is cut down, and withereth.
So teach us to number our days that we may get us a
heart of wisdom.
Mark the innocent man, and behold the upright: for the
latter end of that man is peace.
F>ut God will redeem my soul from the graso of the grave:
for he will receive me. Selah.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of
my heart and my portion for ever.
And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, but the
spirit returneth unto God who gave it.
I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with ihy likeness.
Father of mercy! I n thy hand are the souls of the living and the dead. May thy comforts soothe our hearts
as we remember on this sacred clay our revered and beloved
kinsfolk who have gone to their eternal rest, and as we
think of our clear parents, the crown of our heads and our
glory, whose desire it was to train us in the way of virtue
and righteousness, to teach us thy statutes and precepts,
and to instruct us to do justice and to love mercy. We
beseech thee, O Lord! grant us strength to remain faithful
to their teachings, while the breath given of thee is within
us. And may their souls repose in the land of life, beholding
thy majesty and delighting in thy reward.
And now, O good and beneficent God! what shall we
say, what shall we speak unto thee? Our needs are so
manifold; we cannot declare them. We are filled with
shame as we think of all the goodness thou hast dealt unto
us. O turn thou in mercy and loving-kindness unto the

before thee. May thy loving kindness not depart from us.
Give us our daily sustenance, and let us not be in need of
the gifts of flesh and blood. Remove from us care and
sorrow, distress and fear, shame and contempt. Strengthen
us in our reverence for thee, and fortify us to keep thy
perfect law. Vouchsafe unto us the joy of training our
sons and daughters to keep thy commandments and to
perform thy will all the days of their life. O !God, take us
iiot hence in the midst of our days. Let us complete in
peace the number of our years. Verily we know that our
life is frail, that our days are as an hand-breadth. Therefore help us, O God of our salvation, to live before thee
in truth and uprightness during the years of our pilgrimage.
And when it will please thee to take us from earth, be thou
with us; and may our souls be bound up in the bond of
life with the souls of our parents and of the righteous who
stand before thee in heaven. Amen. Amen.

unto the Lord, Thou art my L o r d : I have no good beyond

excellent ones in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows
will be multiplied that offer gifts unto another God: their
drink-offerings of blood will I not pour out, nor take their
names upon my lips. The Lord is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The
lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
delightsome heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given
counsel: yea, my reins admonish me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my
right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is
glad and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall dwell in
safety. For thou wilt not abandon my soul to the grave:
neither wilt thou suffer thy loving one to see the pit Thou
wilt make known to me the path of life: in thy presence is
fulness of joy ; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

MEMORIAL OF T H E DEPARTED
May the Father of mercies, who dwelleth on high in his

mighty compassion, remember those loving, upright and blameless ones, the holy congregations, who laid down their lives for
the sanctification of the divine name, who were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death were not divided; swifter
than eagles, stronger than lions to do the will of their Master
and the desire of their Rock. May our God remember them for
good with the other righteous of the world, and avenge the blood
of his servants which hath been shed; as it is written in the Law
of Moses, the man of God, Rejoice, O ye nations, with his
people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will
render vengeance to his adversaries, and will make atonement for
his land and for his people. And by the hands of thy servants, the
prophets, it is written, saying, I will cleanse their blood that I
have not yet cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. And in the
Holv Writings it is said, Wherefore should the nations say,
Where is their God? Let th?re be made known among the nations in our sight the revenging of the blood of thy servants which
hath been shed. And it is said, For he that maketh inquisition for
blood remembereth them; he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
And it is further said, He judgeth among the nations;

the land is full of corpses: he smiteth the head over a wide land.
He drinketh of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up
the head.

Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth; the

Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh in pieces the
cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the
Lord heweth out flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shaketh

of the work of creation.
Our God and God of our fathers, all-merciful King, have
mercy upon us; in thy goodness and beneficence be thou sought
of us. Return unto us, in the yearning of thy compassion, for
the sake of the fathers who did thy will. Build up thy house
as at the beginning, and establish thy sanctuary upon its foundation. Cause us to behold its rebuilding and gladden us with
its renewal. Restore priests to their service and Levites to
their song and psalmody, and restore Israel to their habitations.
Then will we go up and appear and worship before thee on the
three seasons of our festivals as it is written in thy L a w :
Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the
Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast
of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast
empty. Every man shall give as he is able, according to the
blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.

Rabbi Nathan says, a minute quantity of the herb that grew on

the incense unfit for use, and if he omitted one of its sweet spices

Rabban Simeon son of Gamaliel says,
the balm is a rc-in that exudes from the wood of the balsam tree.
The alkali procured from Karshina was used to bleach and beautify
the cloves, and the Cjprus wine to steep them therein that the

It behoveth us to praise the Lord of all, to ascribe greatness to him who formed the world in the beginning; that
he hath not made us like the nations of other lands, and
hath not placed us like other families of the earth, that he
hath not given unto us a portion as unto them, nor a lot
as unto all their multitude; for we bend the knee and
prostrate ourselves and make acknowledgement before
the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be he, who
stretched forth the 11ea\ens and laid the foundations of
the earth, the abode of whose glory is in the heavens above
and the dwelling of whose majesty is upon the loftiest
heights. He is our God, there is none else; in truth he
is our King, there is none beside him, as it is written in his
Law, Know therefore this day, and lay it to thine heart
that the Lord he is God in heaven above and upon the
earth beneath ; there is none else.
i
Therefore we hope in thee, O Lord our God, that we

may speedily behold the glory of thy might, when thou
wilt remove the abominations from the earth, and the idols
shall be utterly cut off; when the world shall be set under
the kingdom of the Almighty, and all the children of flesh
shall call upon thy Name, when thou wilt turn unto thyself
all the wicked of the earth. All the inhabitants of the world
shall know and acknowledge that unto thee every knee
must bend, every tongue must swear. Before thee, O Lord
our God, shall they kneel and fall, and they shall give
honour unto thy glorious Name; they shall all accept the
yoke of thy kingdom, and over them thou wilt speedily
reign for ever and ever. For the Kingdom is thine, and
to all eternity wilt thou reign in glory, as it is written in
thy Law, The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. And it
is said, The Lord shall be King over all the earth; in that
day shall the Lord be one, and his Name One.

him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire
of them that fear him; he also will hear their cry, and will save

Blessed is our God who hath created us for his glory, and

us the Law of truth and planted everlasting life in our midst.
May he open our hearts unto his Law, and set his love and
fear within our hearts, that we may do his will and serve
him with a perfect heart, that we may not labour in vain,
nor bring forth unto confusion. May it be thy will, O Lord
our God and God of our fathers, that we may keep thy statutes in this world, and be worthy to live, witness and inherit

ECCLESIASTES
On the Intermediate Sabbath, or on the Eighth Day if itfallon Sabbath,
the Book of Ecclesiastes is read at the conclusion of the Morning Service.
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in

Jerusalem.
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity
of vanities ; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all
his labour which be taketh under the sun ? One generation
goeth, and another generation cometh: but the earth
abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth
down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind
goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north :
it whirleth about continually, and. the wind returneth again
according to his circuits. A l l the rivers run into the sea ;
yet the sea is not full: unto the place from whence the
rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full
of labour ; man cannot utter i t : the eye is not satisfied
with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that
hath been, it is that which shall be ; and that which is
done is that which shall be done : and there is no new
thing under the sun. I s there any thing whereof it may
be said, See, this is new ? it hath been already of old time,
which was before us. There is no remembrance of former
generations: neither shall there be any remembrance of
generations that are to come with those that shall come
after.
I the Preacher Was king over Israel in Jerusalem. And
I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all .things that are done under heaven: this sore
travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised
therewith. I have seen, all the works that are done under
the s u n : and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that
which is wanting cannot be numbered. I communed with
mine own heart, saying, L o , I am come to great estate,
and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been

before me in Jerusalem : yea, my heart had great experience

of wisdom and knowledge. And I gave my heart to know
wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that
this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom i much
grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
I said in mine heart. Go to now, I will prove thee with
mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure : and, behold, this also is
vanity. I said of laughter, I t is mad : and of mirth, Wha t
doeth it ? I sought in mine heart to give myself unto
wine : yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to
lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for
the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven
all the days of their life.
I made me great works : I
builded me houses ; I planted me vineyards. I made me
gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all
kind of fruits. I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees. I got me servants
and maidens, and had servants born in my house : also I
had great possessions of herds and flocks above all that
were in Jerusalem before me. I gathered me also silver
and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the
provinces : I gat me men singers and women singers, and
the delights of the sons of men, many concubines. Sp I
was great, and increased more than all that were before
me in Jerusalem : also my wisdom remained with me.
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them:
I withheld not my heart from any joy ; for my heart
rejoiced in all my labour, and this was my portion of all
my labour. Then I looked on all the works that my hands
had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to
do : and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit,
and there was no profit under the sun. And I turned
myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly : for
what can the man do that cometh after the king ? even
that which hath been already done. Then I saw that
wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
The wise man's eyes are in his head ; but the fool walketh
in darkness : a n i I myself perceived also that one event

ECCLESIASTES
man over beast is naught; for all is vanity. A l l go unto

one place : all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward : and
the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth ?
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than
that a man should rejoice in his own works ; for that is
his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be
after him ?
Then I returned, and considered all the oppressions that
are done under the sun : and behold the tears of such as
were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the
side of their oppressors there was power; but they had
no comforter. Wherefore I praised the dead which are
already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
Yea, better than them both is he that hath not yet been,
who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the
sun.
Again, I considered all travail, and every skilful
work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour: this
is also vanity and vexation of spirit. The fool foldeth his
hands together and eateth his own flesh. Better is an
handful with quietness, than both the hands full with
travail and vexation of spirit. Then I returned, and I
saw vanity under the sun. There is one that is alone, and
he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor
brother; yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is
his eye satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he,
do I labour, and bereave my soul of good ? This is also
vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. Two are better than one
because they have a good reward for their labour. For
if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow : but woe to him
that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to
help him up. Again, if two he together, then they have
warmth : but how can one be warm alone ? And if one
prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him :
and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Better is a
poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will
no more be admonished. For out of prison he cometh to
rign : whereas even in his kingdom he was born poor. I

considered all the living which walk under the sun, with
the second child that shall stand up in his stead. There is
no end of all the people, even of all that have been before
them ; they also that come after shall not rejoice in h i m :
surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit. Keep thy
foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more
ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools : for they
know not that they do evil.
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be
hasty to utter any thing before G o d : for God is in heaven,
and thou upon earth ; therefore let thy words be few.
For a dream cometh with a multitude of business: and a
fool's voice with a multitude of words. When thou vowest
a vow unto God, defer not to pay i t ; for he hath no pleasure
in fools . pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it
that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest
vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh
to sin ;neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an
error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and
destroy the work of thine hands ? For in the multitude of
dreams and many words there are also divers vanities but
fear thou God. If thou seest the oppression of the poor,
and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter : for he that is higher than
the highest regardeth ; and there be higher than they.
Moreover the profit of the earth is for a l l : the king himself
is served by the field. He that loveth silver shall not be
satisfied with silver ; nor he that loveth abundance with
increase : this is also vanity. When goods increase, they
are increased that eat them : and what profit is there to
the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with
their eyes ? The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether
he eat little or much : but the abundance of the rich will
not suffer him to sleep. There is a sore evil which I have
seen under the sun ; riches kept for the owners thereof to
their hurt. But those riches perish by evil travail: and
he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. As he
came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return
to go as he came and he shall take nothing of his labour,

which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a

sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go
and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind ?
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much
sorrow and wrath with his sickness. Behold that which I
have seen ; it is good and comely for one to eat and to
drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh
under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth
him ; for it is his portion. E v e r y man also to whom God
hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power
to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in
his labour : this is the gift of God. For he shall not much
remember the days of his life : because God answereth him
in the joy of his heart.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it
is common among men. A man to whom God hath given
riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for
his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not
power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth i t : this is
vanity, and it is an evil disease. I f a man beget an hundred
children, and live many years, so that the days of his years
be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also
that he have no burial: I say, that an untimely birth is
better than he. For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with
darkness. Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known
any thing: this hath more rest than the other. Y e a ,
though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he
seen no good : do not all go to one place ? A l l the labour
of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
For what hath the wise more than the fool: what hath
the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living ? Better
is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire :
this is also vanity and vexation of spirit. That which
hath been is named already, and it is known that it is
man : neither may he contend with him that is mightier
than he. Seeing there be many things that increase vanity,
what is man the better ? F o r who knoweth what is good

for man in life, aU the days of his vain hfe which he spendeth
as a shadow ? for who can tell a man what shall be after
him under the sun ?
A good name is better than precious ointment
and the
day of death than the day of one's birth. It is better to
go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of
feasting ; for that is the end of all men : and the living
will lay it to his heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter
for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made
better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. It is better
to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the
song of fools. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fool : this also is vanity. Surely
oppression maketh a wise man mad : and a gift destroyeth
the heart. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning
thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud
in spirit. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry : for anger
resteth in the bosom of fools. Say not thou, What is the
cause that the former days were better than these ior
thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this. Wisdom is
good with an inheritance and there is profit to them that
see the sun. For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a
defence
but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom
giveth life to them that have it. Consider the work of
God for who can make that straight, which he hath made
crooked
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the
day of adversity consider God also bath set the one over
against the other, to the end that man should find nothing
after him. All things have I seen in the days of my vanity :
there is a ;just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and
there is a wicked man that prolongeth his hfe in his wickedness. Be not righteous over much ; neither make thyself
over wise : why shouldest thou destroy thyself ? Be not
over much wicked, neither be thou foolish : why shouldest
thou die before thy time ? It is good that thou shouldest
take hold of this ; yea, also from this withdraw not thine
hand : for he that feareth God shall come forth of them
all. Wisdom strengthened the wise more than ten mighty
men which are in the city. For there is not a just man upon
?

earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Also take not
heed unto all words that are spoken: lest thou hear thy
servant curse thee. For oftentimes also thine own heart
knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
All this have I proved by wisdom : I said, I will be wise;
but it was far from me. That which is far off: and that
which is exceeding deep, who can find it out ? I applied
mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom,
and the reason of things : and to know the wickedness of
foUy, even of foolishness and madness. And I find more
bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and
nets, and her hands as bands : whoso pleaseth God shall
escape from her; but 'the sinner shall be taken by her.
Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, laying one
thing to another, to find out the reason. That which yet
my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand
have I found; but a woman among all those have I not
found. L o , this only have I found, that God hath made
man upright: but they have sought out many inventions.
Who is as the wise man, and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing ? a man's wisdom maketh his face to
shine, and the hardness of his face shall be changed, I
counsel thee to keep the king's command, and that in
regard of the oath of God. Be not hasty to go out of his
presence ; persist not in an evil thing : for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him Because the word of a king hath
power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou ?
WTioso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing :
and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
For to every purpose there is time and judgment: therefore the misery of man is great upon him. For he knoweth
not that which shall be
for who can tell him wnen it
shall be ? There is no man that hath power over the spirit
to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of
death; and there is no discharge in that battle : neither
shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. All
this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work
that is done under the sun : there is a time wherein one

man ruleth over another to his own hurt. And so I saw

the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place
of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they
had so done : this is also vamty. Because sentence against
an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart
of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though
a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged : yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
that fear God, which fear before him. But it shall not be
well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days,
which are as a shadow: because he feareth not before
God.
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth;
that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according
to the work of the wicked ; again, there be wicked men,
to whom it happeneth according to the work of the
righteous : I said that this also is vanity. Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under
the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry : for
that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life,
which God giveth him under the sun. When I applied
mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the travail that is
done upon the earth and how that neither by day nor by
night one seeth sleep with his eyes, then I beheld all the
work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that
is done under the sun ; because though a man labour to
seek it out, yet he shall not find it
yea farthi/r ; though
a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to
find it.
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all
this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are
in the hand of God : no man knoweth either love or hatred ;
all is before them. All things come alike to all ; there is
one event to the righteous, and to the wicked ; to the good
and to the clean, and to the unclean ; to him that sacrificeth,
and to him that sacrificeth not : as is the good, so.is the
sinner ; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun,

that there is one event unto a l l : yea, also the heart of the
sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart
while they live, and after that they go to the dead. For
to him that is joined to all the living there is hope : for a
living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know
that they shall die : but the dead know not any thing,
neither have they any more a reward ; for the memory of
them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and
their envy, is now perished : neither have they any more
a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine
with a merry heart: for God hath already accepted thy
works. L e t thy garments be always white : and let thy
head lack no ointment. Live joyfuUy with the wife whom
thou lovest all the days of the hfe of thy vanity, which
he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity :
for that is thy portion in this hfe, and in thy labour wherein
thou labourest under the sun. Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might: for there is no work,
nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave,
whither thou goest. I returned, and saw under the sun,
that the race is not to'the swift, nor the battle to the strong,
neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of,
understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill: but time
and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth
not his time : as the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the snare, so are the
sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly
upon them. This wisdom have I seen also under the sun :
and it seemed great unto me. There was a little city, and
few men within i t : and there came a great king against
it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his
wisdom delivered the city : yet no man remembered that
same poor man. Then said I , Wisdom is better than
strength : nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised,
and his words are not heard. The words of wise men are

heard in quiet-more than the cry of him that ruleth among
fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war : but one
sinner destroyeth much good.
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send
forth a stinking savour : so doth a little folly him that is in
reputation for wisdom and honour. A wise man's heart is
at his right hand : but a fool's heart at his left. Y e a also,
when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom
faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy
place : for yielding pacifieth great offences. There is an
evil which I have seen under the sun : aS an error which
proceedeth from the ruler. Folly is set in great dignity, and
the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses,
and princes walking as servants upon the earth. He that
diggeth a pit shall fall into i t : and whoso breaketh an
hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Whoso removeth stones
shall be hurt therewith : he that cleaveth wood shall be
endangered thereby. If the iron be blunt, and he do not
whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but
wisdom is profitable to direct. Surely the serpent will bite
without enchantment: and a babbler is no better. The
words of a wise man's mouth are gracious : but the lips of
a fool will swallow up himself. The beginning of the words
of his mouth is foolishness : and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. A fool also is full of words : a man
cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who
can tell him ? The labour of the foolish wearieth every
one of them, because he know eth not how to go to the
city. Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and
thy princes eat in the morning. Happy art thou, O land,
when thy king is the son of nobles: and thy princes eat in
due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness. B y
much slothfulness the buikling decayeth : and .through
idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. A feast
is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry : but money
answereth all things. Curse not the king, no not in thy
thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber : for
a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath
wings shall tell the matter.

ECCLESIASTES
Cast thy bread upon the waters : for thou shalt find it"
after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to
eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the
'earth
if the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves
upon the earth ; and if the tree fall toward the south, or
toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there
it shall be. He that observeth the wind shall not sow :
and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou
knowest not what is the way of the wind, nor how the
bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child : even
so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all. I n
the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold
not thine hand : for thou knowest not which shall prosper,
either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike
good. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is
for the eyes to behold the sun. But if a man live many
years, let him rejoice in them a l l : yet let him remember
the days of darkness ; for they shall be many ; all that
cometh is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth ;
and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and
walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine
eyes : but know thou, that for all these things God will
bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from
thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh : for childhood
and youth are vanity.
Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth:
or ever the evil days come and the years draw nigh, when
thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them, or ever the sun,
or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be darkened: and
the clouds return after the rain; in the day when the keepers
of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow
themselves : and the grinders cease because they are few,
and those that look out of the windows be darkened, and
the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of
the grinding is low: and one shall rise up at the voice of
the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought
low ; also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and
terrors shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish,
and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail:

bacause man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go

about the streets: or ever the 'silver cord be loosed, or the
golden bowl be broken : or the pitcher be broken at the
fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, and the dust
return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all
is vanity. And moreover, because the preacher was wise,
he still taught the people knowledge ; yea, he gave good
heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and
that which was' written was upright, even words of truth.,
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails well fastened
are the words of the masters of assemblies, which aê given!
from one shepherd. And furthermore, my son,
be
admonished!: of making many books there is no e n d ;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh. L e t us hear
the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with e^very
secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we wdl make mention of thy love more than
of wine; rightly do they love thee. I am black, but comely,
O ye daughters of Jerusalem: as the tents of Kedar, as the
curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am
swarthy, because the sun hath burnt me: my mother's sons
were incensed against me: they made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. Tell me,
O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest thy flock,
where thou makest it to rest at noon: for why should I be as
one that is veiled beside the flocks of thy companions? I f
thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way
forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside
the shepherds' tents. I have compared thee, O my love, to
a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. Thy cheeks are
comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold:
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth
forth the smell thereof. A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna-flowers in the
vineyards of En-gedi.
Behold, thou art fair, my love;
behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. Behold, thou
art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our bed is green. The
beams of our house are cedars, and our rafters are firs.
I am the rose of Sharon; the lily of the valleys: A s the
lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. As
the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved
among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great
delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me
to the banqueting-house, and his banner over me was love.
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am
sick of love. His left hand is under my head, and his right
hand doth embrace me. I charge you, O ye daughters of
Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that
ye stir not up nor awaken love, until it please. The voice
of my beloved! behold, he cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe
or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he
looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through

the lattice. My beloved spake, and said unto me: Rise up,
my love, my fair one, and come away. For, 10, the winter is
past: the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the
earth; the time of the singing of birds is come: and the voice
of the turtle is heard in our land. The fig-tree putteth forth
her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give forth
fragrance: arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
0 my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the covert
of the steep place, let me see thy countenance, let me hear
thy voice: for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is
comely. Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the
vines: for our vines have tender grapes. My beloved is mine,
and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. Until the day
break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be
thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth:
1 sought him, but I found him not. I will rise now, and
go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I
will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I
found him not.
The watchmen that go about the city
found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul
loveth? It was but a little that I had passed from them, but
I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would
not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's
house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes,
and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up nor
awaken love, until it please. Who is this that cometh out of
the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh
and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
Behold it is the litter of Solomon; threescore valiant
men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. They all hold
swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword
upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
King
Solomon made himself a palanquin of the wood of Lebanon.
He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof
of gold, the covering of it of purple: the midst thereof
being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon,

with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the
day of his espousals and in the day of the gladness of his
heart.
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou
hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of
goats, that appear from mount Gilead. Thy teeth are like a
flock of sheep that are even shorn, which are come up from
the washing: whereof every one beareth twins and none is
bereaved among them. Thy hps are like a thread of scarlet,
and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a
pomegranate within thy locks. Thy neck is like the tower
of David, builded for an armoury: whereon there hang a
thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. Thy two
breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe, which
feed among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows
flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh and to the
hill of frankincense. Thou art all fair, my love; there is no
spot in thee. Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with
me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the
top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the
mountains of the leopards. Thou hast ravished my heart,
my sister, my spouse: thou hast ravished my heart with one
of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. How fair is thy
love, my sister, my spouse: how much better is thy love than
wine, and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! Thy
lips, O my spouse, drop as the honey-comb: honey and milk
are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like
the smell of Lebanon. A garden inclosed is my sister, my
spouse: a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are
an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits: henna with
spikenard: spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frankincense: myrrh and aloes, with all the
chief spices. Thou art a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. Awake, O north
wind; and come, thou south ; blow upon my garden, that the
spieces thereof may flow out: let my beloved come into his
garden, and eat his precious fruits.
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse; I
have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my
honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with
my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O

beloved. I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of

my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister,
my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with
dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. I have put
off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet;
how shall I defile them? My beloved put in his hand by the
hole of the door, and my heart was moved for him. I rose
up to open to my beloved: and my hands dropped with
myrrh, and my fingers with sweet-smelling myrrh, upon the
handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved
had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul went forth
when he spake; I sought him, but I could not find him: I
called him, but he gave me no answer. The watchmen that
went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded
me: the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. I
charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem: if ye find my beloved,
that ye tell him this, that I am sick of love. What is thy
beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among
women: what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that
thou dost so charge u s
My beloved is white and ruddy, the
chiefest among ten thousand His head is as the most fine
gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. His eyes are
as the eyes of doves by the water-brooks, washed with milk,
and fitly set. His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet
flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet-smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his body is
as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance
is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars His mouth is most
sweet; yea, he is altogether lovely: this is my beloved, and
this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
?
Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women,

whither is thy beloved turned aside, that we may seek him
with thee? My beloved is gone down into his garden,
to the beds of spices: to feed in the gardens, and to gather
lilies. I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he
feedeth among the lilies
Thou art beautiful, O my love,
as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem: terrible as an army with

overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear
from Gilead. Thy teeth are as a flock of ewes which go up
from the washing: whereof every one beareth twins, and
there is not one bereaved among them. As a piece of a pome
granate are thy temples within thy locks. There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and maidens without
number. My dove, my undefiled, is but one; she is the only
one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare
her: the daughters saw her, and called her happy; yea, the
queens and the concubines, and they praised her. Who is she
that looketh forth as the morning: fair as the moon, clear as
the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? I went down
into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley: to see
whether the vine budded and the pomegranates were in
flower. Or ever I was aware, my soul set me among the
chariots of my princely people.
Return, return, O Shulammite; return, return, that we
may look upon thee. Why look ye upon the Shulammite as upon the dance of two camps? How beautiful are
thy feet in sand^'s, O prince's daughter! the joints
of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of
a cunning workman. Thy navel is like a round goblet,
which wanteth not mingled wine: thy body is like an
heap of wheat set about with lilies. Thy two breasts are
like two fawns that are twins of a roe. Thy neck is as
a tower of ivory: thine eyes like the pools in Heshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim; thy nose is as the tower of
Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. Thine head
upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like
purple: the king is held in the tresses. How fair and how
pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature
is like to a palm-tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the
boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters
of the vine, and the scent of thy breath like apples: and
thy palate like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth
down smoothly: causing the lips of those that are asleep to
speak. I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge
in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let
us see if the vine hath budded, whether the tender grape

appear, and the pomegranates be in flower: there will I give
thee my loves. The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and at
our gates are all manner of precious fruits, new and old,
which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts
of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would
kiss thee; yea, none would despise me. I would lead thee,
and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct
me: I would cause thee to drink of the spiced wine of the
juice of my pomegranates. His left hand should be under
my head, and his right hand should embrace me. I charge
you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up nor
awaken love, until it please. Who is this that cometh up
from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the
apple tree T awakened thee; theie thy mother was in travail
with thee; there she travailed and brought thee forth. Set
me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for
love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the
coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a flame of God.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods
drown it: if a man would give all the substances of his house
for love, it would utterly be contemned. We have a little
sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our
sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? I f she be a
wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver: and if she be
a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. I am a
wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as
one that found peace. Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers: every one for
the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: the thousand be
unto thee, O Solomon, and the two hundred unto them that
keep the fruit thereof. Thou that dwellest in the gardens,
the companions hearken to thy voice; cause me to hear it.
!Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or to a young
hart upon the mountains of spices.

At the beginning of His words,* before I begin to read them,
I ask authorization and permission
To introduce them with two words or three tremblingly spoken
Of the Creator who sustains the world to its hoary age.
His is eternal power that no words can sufficiently define,
Even were all the heavens parchment, all the reedspens,
The seas and all gatherings of waterink,
And the inhabitants of the earthwriters and recorders.
The glorious Master of the heavens and ruler of the earth
Alone raised the world and brought it under His dominion,
And perfected it without exertion or fatigue,
With only one light, impalpable sound.
In six days He created and made all His work,
And then the splendor of His Glory ascended on His throne
of fire.
Legions of thousands and myriads flocked to His service,
Newly springing every morn with great firmness of fate,
More brightly glowing are the Seraphim adorned with six
wings,
Waiting patiently in silence until the word is given.
They call to one another restlessly, that they may not retard:
"All the earth is full of the Glory of the thrice Holy One."
Like the sound of the Almighty, like the sound of the great
waters,
The Cherubim rise towards the heavenly spheres with noise
*
The Poet refers to the Ten Commandments.

To nehold the countenance shining like the colors of the rainbow

To every place whither they are sent they fly in haste,
Saying:
"Praised be His Glory by every whispering lip
From the place of His abode which is everywhere!"

All the celestial legions roar, praising Him with fear:
"The splendor of His dominion is declared from age to age."
When their sanctification is done, when the hour has passed,
It is ended forever, their turn never comes again.
Dearer to Him than this is His possession, His loved ones
(Israel)
Who
eternally utter His praise morning and evening.
He has chosen them as His portion that they may do His will,
That they may declare His praise at the proper time;
That they diligently labor (in the L a w ) is His ardent desire,
And He accepts their prayers with satisfaction.
Wound as a crown around the Head of the Eternal,
Their prayers eternally rest opposite His precious frontlet
Inscribed with wisdom and with knowledge,
Declaring the greatness of Israel who proclaims the Unity
of God.
It behooves me, therefore, to declare before the kings of the
earth
The Glory of the Master of the universe.
They came in multitudes like the waves of the sea,
And in mock astonishment asked about His miraculous deeds.
Who is Hethy resplendent lover,
For whose sake Thou hast thrown thyself into a den of lion*.
Worthier and fairer wilt thou be, if thou yield to our command ;
All thy desires, wherever thou be, will be gratified then

With wisdom and deliberation I gave them a short reply:

Do you really conceive Him with your foolish minds?
Of what avail is your greatness against that Glory
The greatness that He will prepare for me when the hour of
salvation comes?
When the light will shine for me and you will be wrapped in
darkness,
When His splendor will be revealed in all its might and power ?
When He will repay His enemies, the inhabitants of the isles,
And bring unto His beloved people great salvation;
When He will bring to me great joy and restore the pure holy
vessels of the Temple,
When He will gather the exiles unto the city of Jerusalem;
When day and night His splendor will illuminate,
When He will pitch His tent for extolling hymns
Under a splendid canopy of bright clouds;
When for their merits the pious will be sheltered in celestial
abodes,
And on thrones of pure gold with the seven steps
The pious will be seated in rows before the great Creator,
And their countenances, reflecting great joy, will be like
The azure of the sky and the brightness of the stars
A splendor that no lips can describe,
That no ear ever heard, that no prophet ever beheld;
For no eye ever looked into the Garden of Eden
Where the pious rejoice and dance in the presence of God,
Pointing at Him they will say in fear: It is He
On whom in exile we relied with firm faith.

He will eternally lead us as in a round dance,

And give us the portion which of old he set apart for us.
Leviathan and the wild ox of the mountain
Will encounter in a fight:
The giant beast will gore with his horns,
And the sea-monster will smite him with his powerful fins;
His creator will then approach him with His mighty sword
And prepare a banquet for the righteous.
They will sit around tables made of precious stones
And before them there will flow rivers of balsam,
They will regale themselves and drink full cups
Of the wine preserved from the time of Creation.
You righteous, as you have heard the hymn of praise
So may you eternally be in that blessed circle;
And you will be worthy of a place in the highest row,
If you will obey the words uttered in glory.
Exalted is the Lord from the beginning to the end,
Who loved us and graciously gave us His Law.

On the Second Day of the Feasi of Weeks the Book of Ruth is read at the
conclusion of the Morning Service.
Now it came to pass in the days when the judges judged,

that there was a famine in the land: and a certain man of
Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab,
he and his wife and his two sons. And the name of the
man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and
the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites
of Beth-lehem-judah: and they came into the country
of Moab and continued there. And Elimelech, Naomi'9
husband, died: and she was left and her two sons. And
they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of
the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and
they dwelled there about ten years.
And Mahlon and
Chilion died also both of them: and the woman was left
of her two sons and her husband. Then she arose with her
daughters in law, that she niHit return from the country of
Mcab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that
the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread. Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her
two daughters in law with her: and they went on the way
to return unto the land of Judah. And Naomi said unto
her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's
house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt
with the dead and with me. The Lord grant you that ye
may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband
Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voices and
wept. And they said unto her, Nay, but we will return
with thee unto thy people. And Naomi said, Turn backs,
my daughters; why will ye go with me? are there yet
any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands ? Turn again, my daughters, go; for I am too old
to have an husband: if I should say, I have hope, i I should
even have an husband to-night, and should also bear sons,
would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye
stay for them from having husbands ? nay, my daughters;
for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the

Lord is gone out aai.ist r:e. Ad they lifted up their

voice, and wept again: and Orpah ki-scd her mother in
law; but Ruth clave unto her And she said, Behold, thy
sister in law is gone back unto her people and unto her god':
return thou after thy sister in law. And Ruth said, E n treat me not to leave thee, or to return from following
after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where
thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God. Where thou diest, will I die, and
there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part thee and me. When she saw
that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left
speaking unto her. So they two went until they came to
Beth-lehem: and it came to pass, when they were come
to Beth-lehem, that al! tbe city was moved about them,
and they said, Is this Naomi? And she said unto them,
Call me not Naomi: call me Mara; for the Almighty hath
dealt very bitterly w ith me. I went out full, and the Lord
hath brought me home again empty; why then call ye me
Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me and the
Almighty hath afflicted me? So Naomi returned and Ruth
the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned
out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem
in the beginning of barley-harvest.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty
man of valour, of the family of Elimelech: and his name was
Boaz. And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me
now go to the field and glean ears of corn after him in whose
sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my
daughter. And she went and came and gleaned in the
field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the
portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the
kindred of Elimelech. And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said unto the reapers, The Lord be w ith you.
And they answered him, The Lord bless thee. Then said
Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose
damsel is this? And the servant that was set over the
reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that
came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab. And
she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the
reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued
even from the morning until now, but that she tarried a
little in the house. Then said Boaz unto Ruth, TIearest

thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field,

neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou
after them; have I not charged the young men that they
shall not touch thee ? And when thou art athirst, go unto the
vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes,
that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a
stranger? And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath
fully been told me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother
in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou
hast left thy father and thy mother and the land of thy
nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest
not heretofore. The Lord recompense thy work, and a full
reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose
wings thou art come to take refuge. Then she said, Let me find
favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted
me, and for that thou hast spoken unto the heart of thine
handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine bandmaidens. And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou
hither, and eat of the bread and dip thy morsel in the
vinegar: and she sat beside the reapers; and he reached
her parched corn, and she did eat and was sufficed and left
thereof. And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among
the sheaves and reproach her not. And let fall also some
of the handfuls of purpose for her and leave them, that
she may glean them, and rebuke her not. So she gleaned
in the field until even: and she beat out that she had
gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley. And she
took it up and went into the city; and her mother in law
saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and
gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou
gleaned to-day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be
he that did take knowledge of thee: and she shewed her
mother in law with whom she had wrought and said, The
man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz. And
Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the
Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and
to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of
kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen. And Ruth the Maobi-

tess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by

my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
And Naomi said unto Ruth, her daughter in law, It is good,
my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they
meet thee not in any other field. So she kept fast by the
maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley-harvest and
of wheat-harvest: and she dwelt with her mother in law.
Then Naomi, her mother in law, said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with
thee? And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose
maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night
in the threshing-floor. Wash thyself, therefore, and anoint
thee and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down
to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man,
until he shall have done eating and drinking. And it shall
be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where
he shall lie and thou shalt go in and uncover his feet and
lay thee down: and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will
do. And she went down unto the floor and d i d according
to all that her mother in law bade her. And when Boaz
had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to
lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly,
and uncovered his feet and laid her down. And it came to
pass at midnight, that the man was afraid and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. And he said,
Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid; spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid;
for thou art a near kinsman. And he said, Blessed be thou
of the Lord, my daughter; for thou hast shewed more
kindness in the latter end than at the beginning: inasmuch
as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that
thou sayest: for all the city of my people doth know that
thou art a virtuous woman. And now it is true that I am
thy near kinsman : howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than
I. Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if
he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let
him do the kinsman's part; but if he w i l l not do the part
of a kinsman to thee, then w i l l I do the part of a kinsman
to thee, as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning. And
she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before

one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known

that a woman came into the threshing-floor. Also he said,
Bring the mantle that thou hast upon thee, and hold it: and
when she held it, he measured six measures of barley and laid
it on her and she went into the city. And when she came to
her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And
she told her all that the man had done to her. And she said,
These six measures of barley gave he me: for he said to me,
Go not empty unto thy mother in law. Then said she, Sit still,
my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the
man will not rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
Then went Boaz up to the gate and sat him down there;
and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by;
unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down
here. And he turned aside and sat down. And he took
ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down
here. And they sat down. And he said unto the kinsman,
Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth
the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's. And
I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them
that sit here and before the elders of my people; if thou
wilt redeem it, redeem it; but if thou wilt not redeem it,
then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem
it beside thee, and I am after thee: and he said, I will redeem it. Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field
of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the
Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of
the dead upon his inheritance. And the kinsman said, I
cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance:
redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, for to confirm
all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his
neighbour; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel.
Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself.
So he drew off his shoe. And Boaz said unto the elders,
and unto all the people, Y e are witnesses this day that I
have bought all that was Elimelech's and all that was
Chilion's and Mahlon's of the hand of Naomi. Moreover
Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased
to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his

gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses: the Lord
make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel
and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel;
and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem. And let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom
Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall
give thee of this young woman. So Boaz took Ruth, and
she was his wife; and he went in unto her: and the Lord
gave her conception, and she bare a son. And the women
said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left
thee this day without a kinsman, and let his name be famous
in Israel. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life and
a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which
loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath
born him. And Naomi took the child and laid it in her
bosom and became nurse unto it.
And the women her
neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to
Naomi: and they called his name Obed; he is the father
of Jesse, the father of David. Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron. And Hezron begat
Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab. And Amminadab begat
Nashhon, and Nashhon begat Salmon. And Salmon begat
Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed. And Obed begat Jesse, and

I will pour forth my supplication in this my house of

besought thee upon it to save me. Hearken to the voice
of my cry ; arise and save me. Remember and have compassion, my Saviour. Comfort me with thy solaces, O
living God. I n thy goodness incline to my calling. Hasten
the advent of my Redeemer and destroy my accusing sins,
so that thou condemn me not ever again. Speed, O God of
m y salvation, to save me for eternity. Forgive the stain of
my wickedness and pass by mine iniquities, and turn, I
pray thee, to save me. O my Rock, my righteous Saviour,
accept my cry ; exalt the hour of my salvation. Almighty,

Save now this nation once firm as a rampart and clear as the sun ;
She is exiled, a wandering one.
Likened of yore to a palm-tree, to-day she is bome to the stake.
To-day she is slain for Thy sake.
Scattered amid her oppressors she flyeth to Thee from their stroke.
She bends to the love of Thy yoke.
One to proclaim Thou art One, crushed by the far and the near,
She waits, she is learning Thy fear.
Giving the cheek to the smiters. Thy burden of sorrow she bears.
Tossed in the storm of the years
Moses delivered her once;the sanctified sheep of his fold
Were Jacob's assembly of old
Marked by Thy Name :O save ! They are falling, they grasp,

They are calling, beseeching Thee, " Save ! "

For the sake of thy truth, for the sake of thy covenant,
for the sake of thy greatness and glory, for the sake of thy
Law, for the sake of thy majesty, for the sake of thy troth,
for the sake of the memory of thee, for the sake of thy
mercy, for the sake of thy goodness, for the sake of thy
Unity, for the sake of thine honour, for the sake of thy
wisdom, for the sake of thy sovereignty, for the sake of
thine Eternity, for the sake of thy mysterious communion,
for the sake of thy strength, for the sake of thy splendour,
for the sake of thy righteousness, for the sake of thy hohness, for the sake of thine abundant mercies, for the sake
of thy Divine Presence, O save; for the sake of thy praise,
O save, we beseech thee.
During
the second
circuit:
Save the world's corner-stone, the house of thy choice,

the threshing-floor of Oman, the veiled shrine, even Mount
Moriah, hill of revelation and abode of thy majesty, where
once David dwelt, goodliest of Lebanon, lovely height, the
joy of the whole earth, perfection of beauty, lodging-place
of righteousness. Help thine established dwelling, the
tranquil habitation, the tabernacle of Salem, the goal of
the tribe's ascent, precious corner-stone, even Zion, monument of our greatness, the holy of Holies, with love overlaid,
home of thy glory. O save her, yea save her embattled hill.
During
the third circuit :'
Save now this nation, once firm as a rampart and clear as the sun
She is exiled, a wandering one.
Likened of yore to a palm-tree, to-day she is bome to the stake.
To-day she is slain for Thy sake.
Scattered amid her oppressors she flyeth to Thee from their stroke.
She bends to the love of Thy yoke.
One to proclaim Thou art One,- crushed by the far and the near.
She waits, she is learning Thy fear.
Giving the cheek to the smiters. Thy burden of sorrow she bears.
Tossed in the storm of the years.
Moses delivered her once;the sanctified sheep of his fold
Were Jacob's assembly of old
Marked by Thy Name :O save ! They are falling, they grasp
Thee, they crave,
They are calling, besaeching Thee " Save ! "

O Lord and Saviour, who art mighty and savest, beside

thee there is none who can save. I was brought low, but
thou didst save me. O God of salvation, who deliverest
and savest, save thy supplicants, save them that hope in
thee. Satisfy thy lambs: pour out the earth's riches.
Water and save each shrub, and condemn not the valley
to infertility, but sweeten and save its fruit. Urge on the
rain-mists that they discharge their showers, and hold not
back the clouds. Thou who openest thine hand to satisfy,
satisfy thy thirsting creatures. Save them that call on
thee, thou who art mighty to save. Save them that seek
thee at morn, yea save them, we beseech thee.
Save thy
perfect servants, yea save them, wc beseech thee.
During
the fifth circuit :
O save man and beast, flesh, spirit and soul: sinew

bone and veil of skin : form and image of wondrous frame :
beauty akin, alas, to vanity and like the beasts that perish :
radiance and glorious stature. Send thy quickening force
over the face of the earth and suffer trees to sprout from
the arid soil. Bless the vine-press and the standing corn,
vineyards and sycamores upon the fair-bounded earth.
Suffer the reviving rains to send forth their fragrance and
raise up the forgotten world. Nurture the green herbs,
foster the pleasant fruits, strengthen the buds. Send rain
upon the tender shoots, cool waters and ripening floods.
Lift up and save the world of thy founding, yea save our
earth, suspended amid the void.
During
the sixth circuit :
Save the earth from the curse, our cattle from sterility,
our threshing-floor from the locust, our corn from fire, our
substance from misadventure, our food from destruction.
Guard the olives from falling and save the wheat from the
grasshopper. Protect our stores from the worm, our vines
from the caterpillar, the vineyard from the canker-worm,
the autumn-fruit from blight. O protect our produce from
rains, our souls, from terror, our plenty from corruption.
Keep our flocks from ravaging disease, our fruits from the
blasting wind. Avert the plague from our sheep, ruin
from our harvest, leanness from our abundance. Save the

with a prince of fire : for the sake of the hosts thou didst
lead by cloud and flash of fire . for the sake of him that
was received on high and exalted as the angel of fire : for
his sake who was as thy vicegerent amid the host of fire :

the fire : for the sake of the tabernacle canopied beneath
curtains and a cloud of fire for the sake of the fair mountain whereon thou didst descend in fire : for the sake of
the beloved habitation which thou didst love more than
the heavens of fire for his sake who abode in prayer until
the fires sank : for his sake who with fiery censer allayed
thy fiery work : for his sake who burned with a jealousy
great as of fire : for the sake of Kim who waved his hand
and there fell stones of fire

placed upon the altar a suckling lamb, an offering made by
fire .

grace by fire

rose and was received aloft with chariot and horses of

of fire :

angels and streams of fire :

I beseech Thee, give ear to their cry that implore Thee to save,
That seek to give joy unto Thee with the willows that wave

I beseech Thee, deliver the stock thou hast planted, and say
On the day when Thou sweepest the remnant of nations away:
" I will save."
I beseech Thee to look to the covenant sealed at our birth,
When Thou castest men down to the darkness under the earth.
And save.
I beseech Thee, remember the father who knew Thee alone,
When we say, " To his children to-day make Thy kindnesses

Then save.
I beseech Thee, O worker of wonders for hearts without stain
Be it known that herein is the wonder of Theethat again

I beseech Thee, 0 honoured in strength, give salvation to us,
For in ages of yore Thou didst swear to our forefathers thus:
" I will save."

That are bound as Thy suppliant was on the mountain, when 10 !

I beseech Thee, the trees of Thy planting !give shelter to these ;
When uprooting the mightyAlmighty, remember Thy trees,
And save.

The good of the land that is thirsting for showers from Thee,
