selves to an English rendering. In order, moreover, to
make the arrangement as convenient as possible, having
regard to the existing divergence of usage, these additional
poems have been collected in an appendix, and references
to the pages therein have been inserted in the body of the
work wherever needful.
The Hebrew text of the Bible passages in the work and
their translation were revised by the late Mr. Arthur
Davis before his death ; those also of his translations which
are common to all the volumes have again been used. The
loss of his zeal and scholarship have been keenly felt in the
progress of the work. The Editor (Mr. Adler) has prepared
the Hebrew text and has translated the remaining prayers
for this volume which appear in prose. The verse transla-
tions have, as before, been executed by Mr. Israel Zangwill,
Mrs. Redcliffe Salaman (" Nina Davis "), and Miss Elsie
Davis. A translation by Mrs. Henry Lucas, which has
already appeared in the Jewish Year, is also included.
The Editor's thanks are due to the Rev. B. Berlinei
and to Dr. M. Berlin for their aid in the correction of the
Hebrew proofs.
PREFACE
The issue of this volume containing the Service for the
Festival of Tabernacles marks the commencement of the
second portion of this work. The compilation of the Service
for the three Festivals presented a difficulty which did not
arise in the case of the liturgy for the New Year and the
Day of Atonement. In the case of the Festivals there is a
considerable difference of usage at the present day with
regard to the recital of the Piyutim or additional poems
which have grown round the statutory prayers. The
obscurity of style and matter of many of these compositions
(particularly those of Kalir), teeming as they do with
allusions to the Midrash which must be unintelligible to
many, are accentuated in the liturgy for the three Festivals,
with the result that in a number of congregations some,
and in a few practically all of them, are omitted. It was
at first contemplated that all those compositions, the omis-
sion of which the late Chief Rabbi had permitted, should
be excluded. This course, however, would have involved
the sacrifice of many poems (such as Yehudah Halevi's
7TtU2*b HT DV for the seventh day of Passover) which from a
literary, and often from a devotional aspect, have every
claim to be preserved. It was decided, therefore, to retain
the whole of them, and to translate those that lent them-

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]

AFTERNOON SERVICE
FOR
THE EVE OF TABERNACLES
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. All 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.
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.

3 AFTERNOON SERVICE
The Amidah until as in ancient years, on p. 8, is said silently.
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 re-
memberest 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 quicken-
est the dead and art mighty to save. Thou sustainest the
living with loving-kindness, 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 from We will
sanctify to Holy God for the preceding paragraph.
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 Lord from
his place.

4 AFTERNOON SERVICE
Reader. And in thy holy words it is written, saying —
Cong, and Reader. The Lord shall reign for ever, thy God,
O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
Reader. Unto all generations we will declare thy great-
ness, and to all eternity we will proclaim thy holiness ; and
thy praise, O our God, shall not depart from our mouth for
ever ; for thou art a great and holy God and King. Blessed
art thou, O Lord, the holy God.
Thou dost graciously give knowledge unto man, and
teachest mortals understanding ; O graciously give us
knowledge, understanding and discernment from thee.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, gracious giver of knowledge.
Cause us to return, O our Father, unto thy Law ; draw
us near, O our King, unto thy service, and bring us back in
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.
Heal us, O Lord, and we shall be healed, save us and we
shall be saved ; for thou art our praise. And bring perfect
healing to all our wounds ; for thou, Almighty King, art a
faithful and merciful healer. Blessed art thou, O Lord,
who healest the sick of thy people Israel.
Bless this year unto us, O Lord our God, and every kind
of the produce thereof for our benefit ; set a blessing upon
the face of the earth. O satisfy us from thy goodness, and
bless our year like other good years. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who blessest the years.
Sound the great horn for our freedom ; lift up the ensign
to gather our exiles, and gather us together from the four
corners of the earth. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who
gatherest the outcasts of thy people Israel.

5 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 compas-
sionate us, and accept our prayer in mercy and favour :
for thou art a God who hearkenest unto prayers and sup-
plications. 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.

6 AFTERNOON SERVICE
Accept, O Lord our God, thy people Israel and their
prayer ; restore the service to the innermost part of thine
house ; receive in love and favour the fire-offerings of Israel
and their prayer ; and may the service of thy people Israel
be ever acceptable to thee.
During the Intermediate Days of the Festival, the following paragraph
is added :
Our God and God of our fathers, may our remembrance
and our name, and the remembrance of our fathers, the
remembrance of Messiah the son of David, the remembrance
of Jerusalem thy holy City, and the remembrance of all
thy people the house of Israel, rise and go up, approach to
thy presence and find grace ; may it be heard, visited, and
remembered, for deliverance and for good, for grace, loving-
kindness and mercy, for life and for peace on this Day of
the Feast of Tabernacles. Remember us, O Lord our God,
thereon for good ; visit us with a blessing, and save us unto
life. And with thy word of salvation and mercy, spare us
and be gracious unto us ; have mercy upon us and save us ;
for unto thee our eyes are turned, for thou art a gracious
and merciful God and King.
And let our eyes behold thy return in mercy to Zion.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who restorest thy divine presence
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 com-
mitted 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.

7 AFTERNOON SERVICE
When the Reader repeats the Amidah, the Congregation substitute
for the above paragraph :
We make acknowledgment unto thee, that thou art the
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 sup-
ported 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 command-
ments. 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 thy
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,

8 AFTERNOON SERVICE
O Lord our God and God of our fathers, that the temple
be speedily rebuilt in our days, 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. And the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem shall be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the
days of old and as in ancient years.
The Reader repeats the Amidah aloud to Israel with peace
above, and continues with the following Kaddish :
Magnified and sanctified be his great Name in the world
which he hath created according to his will. May he estab-
lish 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.
Cong. Let his great Name be blessed for ever and ever.
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.
May the prayers and supplications of the whole house
of Israel be accepted in the presence of their Father who
is in heaven ; and say ye, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for
us and for all Israel ; and say ye, Amen.
May he who maketh peace in his high places, make peace
lor us and for all Israel ; and say ye, Amen.

EVENING SERVICE
FOR
TABERNACLES
On Sabbath the following Psalms and Kaddish are said :
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 show 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, 0 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,
lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, 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 heard 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 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, 0 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.

n EVENING SERVICE
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
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 judg-
ments 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 ana
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. 4-9.
Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
The following verse is said silently :
Blessed be his glorious, sovereign Name 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. 13-21.
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 first rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn and thy wine and
thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle,
that thou mayest eat and be satisfied. Take heed to your-
selves, 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 Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days
of the heavens upon the earth.
Numbers xv. 37-41.
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 com-
mandments of the Lord, and do them ; and that ye seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye
use to go astray : that ye may remember and do all my
commandments, and be holy unto your God. I am the

i3 EVENING SERVICE
Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be vour 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. It 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 J 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

save us for the sake of thy Name. Be thou a shield
about us ; remove from us every enemy, pestilence, sword,
famine and sorrow ; remove also the adversary from before
us and from behind us. Shelter us beneath the shadow
of thy wings. For thou, O God, art our Guardian and our
Deliverer ; yea, thou, O God, art a gracious and merciful
King. Guard our going out and our coming in, unto life
and peace from this time forth and for evermore ; and
spread over us the canopy of thy peace. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who spreadest the canopy of peace over us, and
over all thy people Israel, and over Jerusalem.
On Sabbath add until and rested :
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 Moses declared unto the children of Israel the
appointed seasons of 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.
Cong, and Reader. 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.

15 EVENING SERVICE
The Amidah until in ancient years, on page i8, is said standing
and in silence.
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 re-
memberest 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.
In the Afternoon Service of the Eighth Day and on the Ninth Day, add :
Thou causest the wind to blow and the rain to descend.
Thou sustainest the living with loving-kindness, 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.
Thou hast chosen us from all peoples ; thou hast loved us
and taken pleasure in us, and hast exalted us above all
tongues. Thou hast sanctified us by thy commandments,
and hast drawn us near, O our King, unto thy service, and
hast called us by thy great and holy Name.
On Saturday night the following is added :
Thou hast made known unto us, O Lord our God, thy
righteous judgments, and hast taught us to perform the
statutes of thy will. Thou hast given us, O Lord our God,
just ordinances and laws of truth, statutes and command-
ments that are good. Thou hast caused us to inherit joyous
seasons and holy days, and festivals of freewill offering.
Thou hast endowed us with the sanctity of the Sabbath,

the honour of the holy days, and the festive delight
of thy feasts. And thou hast bidden us, O Lord our God, to
distinguish between holy and profane, between light and
darkness, between Israel and other peoples, between the
seventh day and the six days of work. Thou hast set a
distinction between the holiness of the Sabbath and the
holiness of the Festival, and hast hallowed the seventh
day above the six days of work. Thou hast distinguished
and sanctified thy people Israel with thy holiness.
On Sabbath add the bracketed words :
And thou hast given us in love, O Lord our God, [Sabbaths
for rest,] festivals for rejoicing, feasts and seasons for
gladness, [this Sabbath day and] this Day of the Feast
On the first two evenings
of Tabernacles,
On the eighth and ninth evenings :
of the Eighth Day of Solemn
Assembly,
the season of our rejoicing, [in love :] a holy convocation,
a memorial of the departure from Egypt.
Our God and God of our fathers, may our remembrance
and our name, and the remembrance of our fathers, the
remembrance of Messiah the son of David, the remembrance
of Jerusalem thy holy City, and the remembrance of all
thy people the house of Israel, rise and go up, approach to
thy presence and find grace ; may it be heard, visited, and
remembered, for deliverance and for good, for grace, loving-
kindness and mercy, for life and for peace on this Day of the
Feast
On the first two evenings :
of Tabernacles.
On the eighth and ninth evenings :
of the Eighth Day of Solemn
Assembly.
Remember us, O Lord our God, thereon for good ; visit
us with a blessing, and save us unto life. And with thy
word of salvation and mercy, spare us and be gracious
unto us ; have mercy upon us and save us ; for unto thee
our eyes are turned, for thou art a gracious and merciful
God and King.
Grant us, O Lord our God, the blessing of thy festivals,
for life and peace, for joy and gladness, even as thou hast
graciously promised to bless us. [Our God and God of
our fathers, accept our rest,] sanctify us by thy command-

with thy goodness, and gladden us with thy salvation,
and purify our hearts to serve thee in truth. Cause us,
O Lord our God, [in love and favour,] in joy and gladness
to inherit thy holy [Sabbath and] Festivals ; and may
Israel rejoice in thee who sanctify thy Name. Blessed art
thou, O Lord, who sanctifiest [the Sabbath and] Israel
and the appointed seasons.
Accept, O Lord our God, thy people Israel and their
prayer ; restore the service to the innermost part of thine
house ; receive in love and favour the fire-offerings of Israel
and their prayer ; and may the service of thy people Israel
be ever acceptable to thee. And let our eyes behold thy
return in mercy to Zion. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who
restorest thy divine presence 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.
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.

18 EVENING SERVICE
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 command-
ments. 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 thy
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, O Lord
our God, and God of our fathers, that the temple be speedily
rebuilt in our days, 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. And the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem shall be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the
days of old and as in ancient years.
On Sabbath until who sanctifiest the Sabbath, on page 19, is said :
Reader and Cong. Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh
day God had ended his work which he had made ; and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had
made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it,
because that in it he had rested from all his work which
God created and made.
Reader. 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 possessest heaven and earth.
Reader and Cong. He was a Shield unto our ancestors,
according to his word ; he quickeneth the dead with his
command. He is the Holy God, and there is none like
unto him, who hath granted rest unto his people on his

21 EVENING SERVICE
It behoveth us to praise the Lord of all, to ascribe great-
ness 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 acknowledgment 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. 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.
Mourners' Kaddish.
Mourner. Magnified and sanctified be his great Name
in the world which 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.

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.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for
us and for all Israel ; and say ye, Amen.
May he who maketh peace in his high places, make peace
for us and for all Israel ; and say ye, Amen.
1. The living God O magnify and bless,
Transcending Time and here eternally.
2. One Being, yet unique in unity ;
A mystery of Oneness measureless.
3. Lo ! form or body He has none, and man
No semblance of His holiness can frame.
4. Before Creation's dawn He was the same ;
The first to be, though never He began.
5. He is the world's and every creature's Lord ;
His rule and majesty are manifest,
6. And through His chosen, glorious sons exprest
In prophecies that through their lips are poured.
7. Yet never like to Moses rose a seer,
Permitted glimpse behind the veil divine.
8. This faithful prince of God's prophetic line
Received the Law of Truth for Israel's ear.

9. The Law God gave He never will amend.
Nor ever by another Law replace.
10. Our secret things are spread before His face ;
In all beginnings He beholds the end.
11. The saint's reward He measures to his meed;
The sinner reaps the harvest of his ways.
12. Messiah He will send at end of days.
And all the faithful to salvation lead.
13. God will the dead again to life restore
In His abundance of almighty love.
Then blessed be His name, all names above.
And let His praise resound for evermore.
Prayer to be said in the Tabernacle on the first night of the 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. As 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
set Lest 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. Amen and Amen.
Blessed art thou, 0 Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us by thy commandments, and hast
commanded us to dwell in the Tabernacle.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast kept us in life, and hast preserved us and enabled
us to reach this season.

MORNING SERVICE.
Prayers on entering the Synagogue t
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-kind-
ness 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 multi-
tude 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 eye beholdeth
Deep within my bosom laid.
And withal what is it
Heart and tongue can do ?
What is this my 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.

In dread lone splendour He shall reign.

26 MORNING SERVICE
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'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.
Blessed art thou, 0 Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us with thy commandments and com-
manded us concerning the washing of the hands.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast fashioned man in wisdom and created in him many
orifices and tubes. It is revealed and known before thy
glorious throne that if but one of these be stopped or opened
it would be impossible to exist and to stand before thy
presence. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who healest all flesh
and workest wondrously.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us with thy commandments and com-
manded us to study the words of the Law.
And mayest thou make the words of thy Law, O Lord
our God, pleasant in our mouth and in the mouth of thy
people, the house of Israel, so that we and our descendants
and the descendants of thy people, the house of Israel, may
all have knowledge of thy Name and may study thy Law
for its own sake. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who teachest
the Law to thy people Israel. Blessed art thou, O Lord
our God, King of the Universe, who hast chosen us from
all peoples and hast given us thy Law. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, giver of the Law.
The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord make his
face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The
Lord incline his countenance unto thee and give thee peace.

27 MORNING SERVICE
Mishnah Peah I, 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 wayfarers, 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.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast given the cock understanding to distinguish
between day and night.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast not made me a heathen.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast not made me a slave.
Men say :
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast not made me a woman.
Women say :
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast made me according to thy will.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who enlightenest the blind.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who clothest the naked.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who loosest the bound.

28 MORNING SERVICE
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who raisest them that are bowed down.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who stretchest out the earth upon the waters.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast provided me with all my necessities.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast ordained the steps of man.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who girdest Israel with might.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who crownest Israel with glory.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who givest strength to the weary.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who causest sleep to pass from mine eyes and slumber from
mine eyelids. And may it be thy will, O Lord our God
and God of our fathers, to cause us to walk in thy Law and
to cleave to thy commandments ; bring us not into sin,
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
day grace, favour and mercy both in thy sight and in the
sight of all who see us, and bestow thy loving-kindness upon
us. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who bestowest loving-kind-
nesses upon thy people Israel.
May it be thy will, O Lord my God and God of my fathers,
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 :—

29 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 ? What 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 without 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 pre-
eminence 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 morn-
ing and evening, at sunrise and sunset, saying twice every
day:—
Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
Blessed be bis glorious, sovereign Name 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.

3o MORNING SERVICE
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 xxviii. 1-8.
And the Lord spike 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 morn-
ing, 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. It 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.

3i MORNING SERVICE
Leviticus i. 1 1 .
And he shall kill it on the side of the altar, northward
before the Lord ; and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall
sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about.
On Sabbath the following is added :
Numbers xxviii. 9-10.
And on the Sabbath day two he-lambs of the first year
without blemish, and two tenth parts of fine flour for a
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 if he did not
do so, the ceremony was not invalid. 2. The bulls and he-
goats 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 sin-
offerings of the congregation and of the individual— the
following are the sin-offerings of the congregation : the he-
goats of new moons and festivals — these 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 ledg-
ment bordering the altar, he walked along it to the south-
east, north-east, north-west and south-west corners succes-
sively. The rest of the blood he poured upon the southern
base. These sacrifices had to be eaten within the hangings
of the court by males of the priesthood, and might be dressed
in any fashion, but had to be consumed within the same day

32 MORNING SERVICE
and the following night until midnight. 4. The burnt offering
belonged to the most holy sacrifices. It had to be killed at the
north, and its blood, which was received in a vessel of minis-
tration at the north, required two sprinklings at opposite angles
of the altar, making four in all. The offering had to be flayed
and cut up, and entirely consumed by fire. 5. As to the peace-
offerings of the congregation and trespass-offerings — the following
are the trespass-offerings : the trespass-offerings for robbery, for
appropriating sanctified objects, in regard to a betrothed
handmaid, the trespass-offerings of a Nazarite who has become
defiled, of a leper on his cleansing, and for a sin, the commission
of which is doubtful — all these were killed at the north, and
their blood, which was received in a vessel of ministration at
the north, required two sprinklings at opposite angles of the
altar, making four in all. They had to be eaten within the
hangings of the court by males of the priesthood, and might be
dressed in any fashion, but had to be consumed within the same
day and the following night until midnight. 6. The thank-
offering and the ram offered by the Nazarite on the termination
of his vow were of a minor degree of holiness. They might be
killed in any part of the court, and their blood required two
sprinklings at opposite angles of the altar, making four in all. They
might be eaten, dressed in any fashion, in any part of the city and
by any person ; but had to be consumed within the same day
and the following night until midnight. The heaved and waved
portions were treated like the rest, except that they might only
be eaten by the priests, their wives, children and servants.
7. Peace-offerings were also of a minor degree of holiness. They
might be killed in any part of the court, and their blood required
two sprinklings at opposite angles of the altar, making four in all ;
and they might be eaten, dressed in any fashion, in any part of the
city, and by any person within two days and one night. The heaved
and waved portions were treated like the rest, except that they
might only be eaten by the priests, their wives, children and
servants. 8. The first-born, the tithe of animals and the paschal
lamb, were of a minor degree of holiness. They were
killed in any part of the court, and their blood required one
sprinkling ; only the priest had to direct it towards the base of
the altar. The difference in their consumption was that the first-
born might only be eaten by the priests, but the tithe by any per-
son. They might both be eaten, dressed in any fashion, in any
part of the city, and by any person within two days and one night.
The paschal lamb, however, might only be eaten by night, only
up till midnight, only by members of each previously appointed
number, and only roasted.

33 MORNING SERVICE
Sifra i.
Rabbi Ishmael says the Torah is expounded by thirteen
methods :—
i. 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 concern-
ing a special case, is not detached to predicate con-
cerning that case only, but concerning the whole of
the general law.
9. Any matter which is included in a general law and
which is detached to elucidate something in har-
mony therewith, is detached to relax and not to
restrict.
10. Any matter which is included in a general law and
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 days, 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.

34 MORNING SERVICE
On putting on the Tallith say :
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us with thy commandments and hast
commanded us to robe in the garment with fringes.
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 house ; and thou shalt make them drink of
the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain
of life : in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy
loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy right-
eousness to the upright in heart.
Psalm for the first day of the week :
This is the first day in the week, on which the Levites in the
Temple used to say :
Psalm xxiv. A Psalm of David.
The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof ; the
world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded
it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who
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 ;
and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors ; and the King of
glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory ? The
Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift
up your heads, O ye gates ; even lift them up, ye ever-
lasting doors ; and the King of glory shall come in. Who
is this King of glory ? The Lord of hosts, he is the King
of glory. Selah.
Psalm for the second day of the week :
This is the second day in the week, on which the Levites in the
Temple used to say :
Psalm xlviii. : A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city
of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful in
elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the

sides of the north, the city of the great King. God hath made
himself known in her palaces for a refuge. For, lo, 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
of thy temple. According to thy Name, O God, so is thy praise
unto the ends of the earth : thy right hand is full of righteous-
ness. Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be
glad, because of thy judgments. Walk about Zion, and go
round about her : tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her
bulwarks, consider her palaces ; that ye may tell it to the
generation following. For this God is our God for ever and
ever : he will be our guide even beyond death.
Psalm for the third day of the week :
This is the third day in the week, on which the Levites in the
Temple used to say :
Psalm lxxxii. A Psalm of Asaph.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty ; he judgeth
among the judges. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept
the persons of the wicked ? Selah. Judge the poor and fatherless :
do justice to the afflicted and destitute. Deliver the poor and
needy : rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know
not, neither do they understand ; they walk on in darkness :
all the foundations of the earth are moved. I have said, Ye
are gods ; and all of you are children of the most High. But
ye shall die like men, and fall together, all ye princes. Arise,
O God, judge the earth : for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Psalm for the fourth day of the week :
This is the fourth day of the week, on which the Levites in the

whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. Lift up thyself, thou

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. When 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
Temple used to say :
Psalm Ixxxi. : 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

the burden : his hands were delivered from the basket.
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 nil 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.
Psalm for the Sixth Day of the Week :
This is the sixth day in the week, on which the Levites in the Temple
used to say :
Psalm xciii. (page 9).
Psalm for the Sabbath :
This is the holy Sabbath whereon the Levites in the Temple used
to say :
Psalm xcii. (page 9).
Psalm for the First Day of the Festival :
Psalm xlii.
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth
my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for
the living God : when shall I come and appear before God ?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they
continually say unto me, Where is thy God ? This let
me remember, as I pour out my soul within me, how
I was wont to pass as with the throng, leading them
to the house of God with the voice of joy and praise, a
multitude keeping holyday. Why art thou cast down,
O my soul ? and why art thou disquieted in me ? hope
thou in God : for I shall yet praise him for the help

of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down
within me : therefore will I remember thee from the land
of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar. Deep
calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts : all thy
waves and thy billows are gone over me. The Lord will
command his loving-kindness in the daytime, and in the
night his song shall be with me, even a prayer unto the God
of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou
forgotten me ? why go I mourning because of the oppression
of the enemy ? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies
reproach me : while they say daily unto me, Where is thy
God ? Why art thou cast down, O my soul ? and why art
thou disquieted within me ? hope thou in God : for I shall
yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and
my God.
Psalm for the Second Day of the Festival :
Psalm xliii.
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly
nation : O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
For thou art the God of my strength : why dost thou cast
me off ? why go I mourning because of the oppression of
the enemy ? O send out thy light and thy truth : let them
lead me ; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy
tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto
God my exceeding joy : yea, upon the harp will I praise
thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul ?
and why art thou disquieted within me ? hope thou in God :
for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance,
and my God.
Psalm for the Eighth Day and the Rejoicing of the Law :
Psalm xii.
To the Chief Musician ; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
Help, Lord ; for the godly man ceaseth ; for the faithful
fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity
every one with his neighbour : with flattering lip and with
a double heart do they speak. The Lord shall cut off all
flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things :
who have said, With our tongue will we prevail ; our lips
are our own : who is lord over us ? For the oppression
of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I

MORNING SERVICE
arise, saith the Lord ; I will set him in safety at whom they
puff. The words of the Lord are pure words : as silver tried
in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt
keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when
vileness is exalted amongst the sons of men.
HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
The verses of these hymns are said by the Reader and Congregation
alternately.
I will sing songs to my God while I yet have being — God who
hath shepherded me since I have been.
Until this day thou hast held fast hold of my hand ; life and loving-
kindness hast thou given to me.
Blessed be the Lord, and blessed be his glorious Name ; for unto
his servant his mercy is wonderful.
How shall I come before God, the most high ? and how shall I
bow before the God of old ?
If the mountains were an altar, and all the wood of Lebanon were
laid thereon ;
If all cattle and all beasts were slain, prepared, and laid upon the
wood ;
And if blood covered the corners of the altar, as the waters cover
the sea ;
If fine flour, rich and abundant as sand, were mingled with ten
thousand rivers of oil ;
And for a memorial, frank-incense and spices, yea, all the chief
spices ;
If the lights on the lamps were radiant as the two great luminaries ;
And if the shew-bread, arranged upon tables within, were like high
mountains ;
And if for drink-offering there were wine like the rain of heaven,
and strong drink abundant as fountains of water ;
If all the sons of men were priests ; Levites chanting like winged
songsters ;

40 HYMNS OF UNITY
And all the trees of Eden and all the trees of the forests were harps
and viols for the singers ;
If all the angels gave their voice in song and the stars did sing from
their courses —
All Lebanon would not suffice for fuel, nor all its beasts for burnt-
offering —
Lo ! all these were not enough to serve, to come therewith before
the God of glory.
For thou, our King, art exceeding glorious : how then should we
bow down before our Lord ?
Verily none living can honour thee — how then can I, thy servant ?
Seeing I am despised and least of men, contemptible in mine own
eyes, and lowly among mankind ;
And thy servant hath naught wherewith to honour thee, to render
unto thee for all thy loving-kindness.
For thou hast multiplied good things towards me — for thou hast
magnified thy mercy unto me.
Great are the debts I owe thee for the good thou hast wrought
for me.
But thou owest no debt of benefit to me ; for thou needest not
to bestow aught upon me.
I have not served thee in accordance with thy benefits ; one in
ten thousand I have not repaid thee.
If I say, I will declare their number, I know not how to count them.
And what shall I return unto thee, seeing that all is thine ? thine
are the heavens, and the earth also is thine.
The seas and all that is within them are in thine hand, yea, and
out of thine hand all these are satisfied.
We are thy people and thy sheep, who delight to obey thy will.
But how shall we serve, since our hand hath no power, and our
sanctuary is burnt with fire ?
How shall we serve without sacrifice and meat offering ? for we
are not yet come unto our rest.
Neither is there water to wash away defilement ; lo ! we are upon
unpurified ground.
But I rejoice at thy word, and I am come according to thy bidding ;
For it is written : I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or
thy burnt offerings.
Concerning your sacrifices and your burnt offerings I commanded
not your fathers.
What have I asked, and what have I sought of thee but to fear me ?
To serve with joy and a good heart ; behold, to hearken is better
than sacrifice,
And a broken heart than a pure offering. The sacrifices of God
are a broken spirit.

41 HYMNS OF UNITY
In sacrifice and meat-offering thou delightest not ; sin-offering and
burnt-offering thou hast not asked.
I will build an altar of the broken fragments of my heart, and
will break my spirit within me.
The haughty heart I will humble, yea, the haughtiness of mine
eyes ; and I will rend my heart for the sake of the Lord.
My broken spirit — that is thy sacrifice ; let it be acceptable upon
thine altar.
I will proclaim aloud thy praise, I will declare all thy wonders.
That which my soul knoweth I will tell ; I will speak and declare
thy mighty acts.
But what should I set forth, when I know naught ? Lo ! is there
anything that I can utter ?
For there is no searching out his greatness, and his understanding
is beyond measure.
Wise of heart, who is like unto him ? Mighty in strength, we
cannot comprehend him.
Doing great things and abundant in marvels, thou art great and
workest wonders
That are without number, yea, they are not to be searched out ;
neither can they be understood, for they are inscrutable.
Where is the eye that can testify of thee ? and where is the mouth
that can tell of thee ?
None living hath seen thee, and no heart knoweth thee ; then
where is the praise that shall comprehend thee ?
Even thy ministering angels have not seen thee, neither can the
wise of heart perceive thee.
Thou alone knowest thy praise, and none beside thee hath know-
ledge of thy strength,
And none knoweth beside thee the praises befitting thy glory.
Therefore be thou blessed as it befitteth thee, according to thy
holiness, thy glory and thy greatness ;
Yea, from the mouth of all, with their whole strength, according
to the knowledge wherewith thou hast graciously endowed
them.
The heavens shall acknowledge thy wonders, and the voice of the
waters shall glorify thee.
And all the earth shall shout unto thee, and all the kings of the
earth shall give thanks unto thee.
Yea, all the people shall give thanks unto thee, and all the nations
shall praise thee ;
And all the seed of Jacob, thy servant ; for upon them have thy
loving-kindnesses been exceeding great —
They all shall praise the Name of the Lord God, the true God and
everlasting King.

HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE SECOND DAY.
I, thy servant, the son of thine handmaid, I will speak, I will tell
of thy might.
I will declare but the uttermost border of the ways of thy praise ;
I will say how tremendous are thy works.
Thy praises cannot be set forth in a book ; if I would declare them,
they would be beyond my power to tell.
The secret of God cannot be found, and the perfection of the
Almighty cannot be limited.
Is there any searching out his understanding ? and can the number
of his years be discovered ?
There is no number to thy troops ; in thine hosts is the sign of
thy glory.
Where is the eye that shall testify of thee ? for none living hath
seen the face of thy glory.
The understanding and the wise — lo ! they know not ; how then
can I set forth that whereof I have no knowledge ?
If a man should say : "I will prepare meet praise unto him, yea,
unto the full measure thereof ;
I will come and I will discover the perfection of his praise," verily
his spirit is not steadfast with God.
He would be confounded, for he knoweth not the estimation thereof ;
when he hath exhausted the words of his mouth, he hath told
but the beginning of God's way.
It is not thus with me ; I will not suffer my mouth and my lips to
sin.
I will declare unto my brethren but a part of God's ways, and
unto Israel what God hath wrought.
As it is written : " Say ye unto God, How terrible are thy works,
O God ! "
And thou hast said : " This people which I formed for myself
shall declare my name and my praise.
In Egypt I performed my wonders in order that thou shouldst
declare my signs."
Therefore I, thy servant, will declare that which I may seek out
of the Book.
My soul shall praise the might of thy works, and all that is within
me thy holy Name ;

43 HYMNS OF UNITY
And I will bless thee in all my thoughts, and with my whole heart
I will thank the Lord.
Yea, my throat and my mouth will I fill with thine exaltation and
thy praise.
For my mouth shall declare thy praise, and thy glory all the day.
I will say, how mighty are thy terrible deeds ; and I will meditate
on the words which tell of thy wonders.
I will make mention of thy goodness and thy righteous deeds ;
thy mercies and thy might.
I know that thou art great, that thou art very great above all gods.
For these give no reward unto them that serve them ; wherefore
then do they honour them ?
In the time of trouble, then they pray ; but they answer not, nor
can they profit them.
They seek with all their heart that which hath no spirit ; but the
Lord is nigh unto the people near unto him.
For all the gods of the heathen are dumb idols ; there is no spirit
in them.
He who hath formed all, he is our God ; he made us, and unto him
alone do we belong,
People of his pasture and sheep of his hand ; we will bless his Name,
for his mercy endureth for ever.
In our distress thou art verily found of us, for thou forsakest not
them that seek thee.
And continually is thy praise in our mouth, praises unto thy glorious
Name.
Thou art witness of thyself and of thy glory ; yea, also thy minis-
tering angels and thy servants,
That thy glory is the fulness of the whole earth, and that thy glory
is over all the earth.
Our fathers chose thee alone to serve, and no strange god beside
thee.
We also will serve thee alone, and, as a son his father, will we honour
thee.
Behold us, thy witnesses by day and by night, to declare thy unity.
Yea, all of us declare from our heart that thou alone art our God.
Thou art our God ; we are witnesses to thy unity, we thy servants.
There is no beginning to thine existence, neither is there any limit
or end to thy being ;
First and last, without beginning and without end ; no heart can
conceive it.
There is no limit to thine exaltation, and there is no fathoming the
depth of thine attributes.

44 HYMNS OF UNITY
There is no boundary unto thee nor any limit; wherefore none
living hath seen thee.
Surface and side do not enclose thee ; to thee neither breadth nor
length nor depth can be ascribed.
There is no confine that can encompass thee, neither is space con-
tained within thee.
There is no wisdom that can know thee, and no knowledge that can
approach thee ;
For naught of it can reach unto thee, and there is no intelligence
that can understand and know
Aught of thee whatsoever, or how, from nothing, thou hast created
all.
HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE THIRD DAY.
In truth, I know that thou, O God of Jacob, art he that hath formed
all things.
Thou art the Creator, but thou wast not created ; thou art the
Former, but thou wast not formed.
Thou killest and thou causest all to pass away ; thou bringest
down to the grave, and bringest up.
Thou art faithful to revive the dead, and this hast thou made
known by the hand of thy prophet.1
Thou, who art the living God, wilt ever live ; thou art from
eternity to eternity.
Thou bringest to the birth and causest to bear, but thou existest
of thyself ; thou dost wound and heal, but thou art invulner-
able.
Death and disease are not before thee ; slumber and sleep are not
in thine eyes.
Lo ! thou art the living God from eternity ; from ever thou art
changeless.
Unto everlasting thou art the same ; and thy divine attributes
will never be dimmed.
Thou existest ! new and old are naught unto thee ; thou renewest
all, but thou art immutable.
Nor old age nor youth have rested upon thee ; neither hoary age
nor dawn of years.
Joy and pain come not unto thee ; nor can form or shape image
thee.
Substance cannot encompass thee ; neither canst thou be likened
unto any breathing thing.
Thou hast set limits around every being, from their beginning unto
their end.
1 Deut. xxxii. 39.

45 HYMNS OF UNITY
Yea, thou hast set all creatures within bounds ; and the days of
their appointed time hast thou encircled with a border.
But unto thee there are no bounds, nor to thy days, thy years,
or thy being.
Wherefore thou hast no need of anything ; but of thine hand, and
of thy mercy, all have need.
Yea, all have need of thy charity ; but thou hast no need of thy
creatures.
While yet naught was formed, thou alone didst exist ; and nothing
was wanting unto thee.
The beginning and the end of all things are ordered by thine hand ;
thou art in them, and they grow by thy spirit.
Lo ! all that was at the beginning, and all that shall be hereafter ;
Every created being, and all their works, their words and then-
thoughts
Thou knowest, from the beginning unto the end ; thou wilt not
forget them, for thou art near unto them.
Thou didst create them, and thy wisdom hath directed them ;
thou alone knowest their place and their way.
Lo ! nothing is hid from thee ; for all things are set before thee.
There is no darkness, nor refuge, nor secret place, whither a man
may flee to hide himself.
For that which thou seekest, thou turnest not aside ; at the time
thou desirest, thou findest.
For thou seest all things at once ; thou doest all things, thou alone,
and thou art never weary.
Thou speakest in one moment concerning all ; yea, of all nations
and all mankind together.
In one moment thou hearest every voice, cry and whisper, and
every prayer.
Thou dost also observe their every action, and in a moment thou
searchest all their hearts.
Thou tarriest not in thy purposes, neither haltest thou over thy
counsel.
Thy decree is instantaneous with thy counsel, to the appointed
time that thou hast proclaimed.
And all is done in truth and rectitude and justice ; nothing is
superfluous, and nothing is deficient.
Naught can fail thee ; nothing can be too difficult for thee.
All that thou desirest thou canst do ; and no one may stay thy
hand.
The power of the Lord is bound within his will ; and when the
Lord willeth, there is no delay.

46 HYMNS OF UNITY
No secret thing can be hid from thee ; the things of the future
and the things of the past are the same with thee.
From everlasting unto everlasting all things are in thee, and thou
art in all.
Unto thy servants and messengers thou hast declared the things
to come, and the mystery of thy ways.
There is no need to tell thee, to make known any concealed and
secret thing.
For with thee, every mystery is revealed, while yet it hath not
come up upon the heart of any creature.
No man's heart can comprehend thee ; then let not arrogancy
come out of our mouth.
He is infinite and indivisible ; no heart can perceive him ; no
mouth can depict him.
For he hath no boundaries, and includeth no space ; so that words
fail to tell of him.
Who can fetch his knowledge from afar, to reach unto him who
is without beginning and without end ?
For midst, end and beginning are bound together. I will restrain
both mouth and heart from seeking, and from deep research.
Height and depth are one as in a turning sphere ; x lo ! the wise
man and the understanding cannot conceive it.
Thou encompassest all and fillest all ; and since thou art the All,
thou art in all.
There is none above thee, and there is none below thee ; there can
be nothing without thee, and naught can be in the midst of
thee.
Colour and shape cannot be applied to thy Oneness, nor body to
the essence of thy Unity.
Neither is anything separate from thee in the midst ; nor is the
smallest place void of thee.
Thou art not derived or detached from anything ; nor is any place
empty or devoid of thee.
Accident and change do not exist in thee, nor time, nor discord,
nor any imperfection.
Thou hast arranged all seasons and times ; thou appointest and
changest them.
No knowledge can reach thee ; no understanding can comprehend
thee.
For thy wisdom is according to thine attribute, and thine under-
standing is according to thy greatness.
Thou art wise of thine own self, living of thyself, and there is none
like unto thee.
Except thy wisdom, there is no wisdom ; save for thine under-
standing, there is no counsel.
Thou hast imparted intelligence to the heart of the wise ; thy
spirit filleth them, and thou directest their knowledge.
Without thy power, there is no strength ; and without thy might,
there is no help.
1 See Ibn Gabirol's Kether Malchuth.

47 HYMNS OF UNITY
None is honourable unless thou hast honoured him ; and no man
is great, unless thou hast exalted him.
Everything precious and good is from thine hand, for him to whom
thou delightest to shew thy mercy.
Thy greatness cannot be searched out, nor can thine understanding
be declared.
There is no being but thine, O living God ; thou canst do all things,
and there is none beside thee.
Before anything was, thou wast the All ; and when all was, thou
didst fill aU.
Thy creation did not weary thee ; neither did it turn thee aside
nor diminish thee.
When thou hadst made all, thou wast not separated, nor didst
thou cease from being in the midst of thy works.
When thou didst make the heavens, the earth and the waters,
They did not draw thee nearer, nor did they distance thee ; for
no walls can separate thee.
Torrents of water cannot overwhelm thee ; nor can the mighty
wind drive thee.
No impurity can touch thee ; thou who art a consuming fire, no
fire can consume thee.
Thy existence is without defect ; and thy Oneness hath no fault.
As thou hast been, so thou wilt ever be ; less and more have no
existence in thee.
Thy Name testifieth of thee : thou hast been, art and ever wilt
be ; and thou art in all.
Thou existest eternally, and thus hast thou made thyself known ;
we testify of thee, for thus hast thou testified of thyself —
That thou art he who existeth in all ; all is thine, and all is from
thee
Thy glorious Names declare and bear witness ; yea, they testify
to the power of thy glory.

48 HYMNS OF UNITY
HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE FOURTH DAY
I will extol the God of my father and my God ; yea, I will praise
my God, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Twice will I proclaim every day the Unity of the God of heaven and
earth.
The one living God, he created us ; the Mighty One of Israel,
Father to us all.
Our Lord, Lord of all the earth ; how glorious is thy Name in all
the earth !
There is none like God, a devouring fire and jealous. The Lord
is true for ever, he is the faithful God,
My Light and my Salvation, the Stronghold of my life ; all my
desires centre in him.
He is the God of truth, the living God ; the nations and the isles
cannot endure his wrath,
Glorious and mighty in strength, and great in power ; God of gods
and Lord of lords.
God is my Maker, my Beloved and my Lord, Guide of my youth,
my Guardian and my Refuge,
Creator of all and Redeemer of Israel ; blessed be God, the God of
Israel.
Creator of the wind, former of the mountains, from thee no design
is withheld.
The exalted One will render a reward unto the proud, unto the
lofty, and those who are lifted up.
He is mighty when he ariseth to strike terror with his wrath ; at
the glory of his majesty who shall not be afraid ?
He is most high, he beareth up all that is under him ; and, great
in strength, he doeth great deeds.
He is great and his Name is mighty ; if a lion roar who is not afraid ?
My Beloved is the chiefest among ten thousand ; a God very
terrible in the council of the holy ones.
He sitteth to judge as the Ancient of Days ; his host is upon
the left hand and upon the right.
His honour and his majesty are upon the children of his servants ;
he is honoured by all his saints.
He is God, God of the spirits of all flesh ; he hearkeneth unto the
prayer of all.
True and perfect, he knoweth and beareth witness ; the Lord shall
reign for ever and ever,
Who is the sword of our excellency1 to fight our battles.

49 HYMNS OF UNITY
He remembereth for ever the covenant of the ancestors ; a thousand
years are with him but as yesterday.
This is our God, in him we hope ; the Lord is our song, he will save
us.
The portion of Jacob, the Former of all, the Lord is merciful and
gracious unto all.
The Lord who liveth for ever is my portion ; the Lord, wise in
secret things, is my strength.
Good and beneficent is he that teacheth knowledge ; too pure of
sight to look upon evil.
Upright is the Lord and upright his word ; most lovely are his
holy tabernacles.
He counselleth and decreeth, who can frustrate it ? he worketh
suddenly, who shall undo it ?
My Beloved is fair ; they shall see and behold his beauty and his
excellence when he returneth unto Zion.
Like a mighty man he shall go forth, like a man of war ; he shall
arouse his anger to do vengeance.
Like an eagle on eagles' wings he carried his servants, and he made
the rugged places plain.
Like a bear bereaved, like a fierce leopard, like destruction,
and like the moth ; his spirit also is as a torrent.
Like a bear bereaved, like a leopard will he hasten, and as the rod
of an almond tree,1 to perform his word.
Mighty in power as a leopard ; like a lioness and a lion ; his spirit
also is like a torrent.
Like a choice cedar is his greatness ; yet he is gentle as the green
fir tree.
Like the fragrance of an apple tree is the strength of his love ; his
majesty is over Israel.
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, thus is my beloved
among those who sit in the gate.
Mighty in power, he taketh vengeance on them that provoke him ;
but he is like the dew unto Israel.
My cup, the portion of mine inheritance, and my lot ; I am the
heritage of my Beloved, and my Beloved is mine.
The Lord is my glory, I will not turn from him ; he hath plighted
troth unto us, and we have plighted troth unto him.
Like a lion he will rage, and roar like a young lion ; he will not be
like a stranger, like a man astonied ;
Like a shepherd who is unable to deliver his flock, so they become
a prey ;
Like a mighty man whose strength is gone ; nor like a wayfarer
that fleeth and hasteth away lamenting bitterly.
He will be like a ravening lion, like a strong lion, unto them that
forsake him ; like destruction, even like the moth, unto his
enemies.
Of mighty strength, he will destroy them like the thorn and the
briar ; he shall not leave aught of them, even as when the olive
tree is shaken.

50 HYMNS OF UNITY
Like the thorn and briar, he will consume his enemies ; like
winged birds, he will fly to shield his city.
Like welcome rain, he will come unto us ; like the latter rain, and
like dew, to those that cleave unto him.
Like the eagle hovereth over its young, so in the shadow of his wings
all those who trust in him will find shelter.
Like birds, he will protect his city ; and in the shadow of his wings
we will sing joyful songs.
The Lord alone worketh great wonders, God, awful in deeds.
My Beloved is like the hart and the young roe ; my God of mercy
goeth before me.
Before his people he will make the rugged places plain ; he will
bear them upon eagles' wings.
The Lord is my portion for ever, and the Rock of my heart ; my
flesh and my heart pine for him.
The Lord alone worketh great wonders, and he is great in terrible
deeds.
Thou art the place of thy world ; and no one knoweth thy place.
God is my fear, my shepherd and my former ; the Rock who bore
me and brought me forth ; yea, he is my Rock.
He is a high place and a stronghold unto me, and my shelter ; a
tower of strength is the Name of the Lord my Refuge.
The King of Jacob is a high tower unto us ; he is our law-giver and
our Saviour.
A tower of salvation and a support he shall be unto me ; God is
my trust, the Lord is my strength.
Thy kingdom is an everlasting dominion ; thy rule is throughout
all generations.
O that thou wert as my brother in my distress ! Save, O Lord,
for thy hand is not waxen short.
Fountain of life, Hope of Israel, I will not forsake him ; for God is
my strength.
Shield of my salvation and sword of excellence, the soul longeth
for thy Name and the remembrance of thee.
He is a shield unto all that trust in him ; happy is the man whose
strength is in him.
Pure and gracious, radiant and awful ; his Name is glorious and
girt with might.
He is faithful, the strength of Israel and his deliverer ; he lieth not ;
happy are all that trust in him.
The strength of Jeshurun, the faithful God ; Judah is not forsaken
of his God.
Wonderful is he above all wonders, exalted above all that are
exalted.
My holy God is sanctified and feared ; abiding and exalted is the
Lord, my banner.
He avengeth and keepeth anger : he is Lord of wrath against them
that vex him, a man of war unto his enemies.

5i HYMNS OF UNITY
The Lord is my lamp, when he sheddeth his light upon my head ■
and his word is as a lamp unto my feet.
The Lord, my Rock, upholdeth and supporteth ; he beareth and
pardoneth, and forgiveth my transgression.
The Lord is my witness, my Rock and my hiding-place ; he par-
doneth and is patient ; he is my support and my hope.
The Lord is our Rock and our Stronghold, our Help and our De-
liverer,
Powerful and mighty, my Might and my Help ; the Most High is
strength unto me ; let him not be mine enemy.
Angels and holy ones hath he set round about his secret place ;
verily, O God, thou art concealed from us.
He is a speedy witness to render a reward unto his enemies ; he
keepeth his covenant and his mercy with them that love him.
He delivered Abraham his beloved ; he will deliver Israel his
servant.
The fear of Isaac will set his fear upon the enemies of the sons of
his servant Jacob.
He worketh and seekethout and inquireth, and searcheth narrowly
all hearts ; unto him I will ascribe righteousness.
As a bundle of myrrh, as a cluster of copher ; * he delivereth unto
his people his enemies for a ransom.
My Beloved is white and ruddy, an ensign among his hosts ; there-
fore is his Name called the Lord of Hosts.
Righteous is the Lord, the perfect Rock ; I will trust for evermore
in the everlasting Rock,
The host of heaven boweth down before him ; above him stand the
seraphim.
He is holy with all manner of holiness ; three bands of holy ones
thrice cry, Holy.
The living God abideth for ever, Lord of the earth and Lord of
heaven.
My possessor is compassionate, he is jealous against his enemies ;
the horn of my salvation, he is nigh unto them that call upon
him.
He is far from all, yet he seeth all ; for the Lord is exalted, yet
beholdeth he the lowly.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want ; and he is of great
strength and of abundant mercy unto all.
Merciful is the Lord : he healeth and bindeth up the broken of
heart, and subdueth iniquity.
My Beloved is altogether lovely ; his judgments are true, sweet and
pleasant.
First and last, from everlasting unto everlasting, thou art God, who
dwellest in eternity.
The Ruler, king of heaven throughout all generations ; him we
praise, exalt and glorify.
1 Cant. i. 14.

52 HYMNS OF UNITY
Sun and shield is the Lord God ; he judgeth uprightly and casteth
down the haughty.
Excellent in strength, we have not found him ; he doeth loftily
in his power, and who is like unto him ?
His Name is Peace, for peace is his • he speaketh peace unto his
pious ones.
The Name of the Lord is : "I am that I am " ; the strength of the
wild ox is his, he is like a young lion, yea, a mighty lion.
Almighty, my Light, my King and my God ; praise ye the Lord,
praise his Name, O my soul.
Thou wilt show thyself perfect with the inhabitants of Netaim,1
the noble branches of the three shepherds.
Thou wilt show thyself merciful and pure unto them ; but with
the perverse thou wilt appear froward, to confound them.
Perfect is thy way, mighty beyond all ; thou art able, thou alone,
to do all things.
For thee I wait, thou art my trust and my hope ; my soul longeth
for thee, thou art my desire.
Thou art he who brought me forth from my mother's womb ; my
praise, my glory and my strength.
Perfect in knowledge, God of knowledge, thou art One ; all hearts
thou searches t together.
HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE FIFTH DAY
Who is like unto thee who teachest knowledge and createst the fruit
of the lips ?
Thy purposes are deep and exalted, and thy years have no end.
None taught thee thy wisdom nor imparted to thee thy understanding.
Thou didst not succeed to thy kingdom, nor inherit thy dominion.
For all time shall the glory of thy majesty be thine alone and
unshared by others ;
For thou wilt not yield of thy praise unto other gods, unto graven
images and idols.
Glory and honour proceed from thee, idols shall not share them
with thee.
Thy Unity is declared by thee, by thy law and by thy servants ;
Yea, O our God, to thy Unity thou art thyself a faithful witness,
and we thy servants.
No god preceded thee, and there was no stranger with thee in thy
work.
Thou wast not counselled, nor instructed when thou madest all
things new ; for understanding is thine.
1 I Chron. iv. 23 ; Talmud Babli, Baba Bathra, 91b.

53 HYMNS OF UNITY
From the depths of thy mind and from thine own heart thou didst
conceive all thy works.
Have we not discerned a little portion of thy ways ? Lo 1 we have
learnt from thy works
That thou art the God who unaided didst create everything, thyself
undiminished.
Thou wast not compelled to perform thy work, and hadst no need
of a helper.
Yea, thou wast before all, and couldst need naught when naught
existed.
For from thy love to thy servants, thou didst create the whole world
unto thy glory.
No God save thee is known, none like thee, none beside thee ;
Nor ever hath arisen or existed, or been heard or seen ;
Nor after thee shall there be any god. First and last is the God of
Israel.
Blessed art thou, O one and only God ; the Lord is one and his
Name is one.
For who can do like unto thy works, thy deeds, thy mighty actions ?
There is no form save of thy forming, no creature save of thy creation.
Thou workest thy pleasure over all, for thou art exalted above all.
Yea, there is none like thee and none beside thee, for there is no
God save thee.
Thou art He who performest marvels, but unto whom naught is
marvellous.
Who is like unto thee, tremendous in praise, O God who alone
workest wonders ?
There are no signs like thy signs, no portents like thy portents ;
There is no knowledge like thy knowledge, no greatness like thy
greatness.
For thy purposes are very deep, and the paths of thy treading are
very lofty.
There is no majesty like thy majesty, yea, and there is no gentleness
like thy gentleness ;
No holiness like thy holiness, no nearness like nearness to thee ;
No righteousness like thy righteousness, no salvation like thy
salvation ;
No strength like thy strength, no sound like the thunder of thy
might.
There is no mercy like thy mercy, and no grace like thy gracious-
ness.
There is no divinity like thy divinity, and naught full of wonders
like thy glorious Name.

54 HYMNS OF UNITY
For thy Names are swift angels who speed upon thy miracles, when
thou rememberest the oppressed.
No enchanter or magician can compel thee, no spell or sorcery can
prevail against thee.
Not all the wizards, the enchanters and magicians can avail against
thee.
Thou turnest the wizards back, and the subtle enchanters strive in
vain
To annul thy designs, to frustrate the purpose of thy secret decree.
From thy will they cannot move thee, nor hasten thee, nor delay
thee.
For thy counsel frustrateth the counsel of all counsellors, and thy
strength dissolveth the heart of the mighty.
Thou commandest, and thy terror levelleth all before thee, but over
thee lies no directing power.
Thou knowest not hope, who art the Hope of the world, and in whom
every soul that hopeth is satisfied.
Among all thy manifold creatures there is naught to compare with
thy great majesty.
Their thoughts are not thy thoughts, for there is no creator beside
thee.
Our God is wondrous beyond compare, yea, our Lord is exalted
past conception ;
More hidden than aught that is hidden or stored up or treasured,
Finer than the finest substance, invisible of the invisible, mightiest
of the mighty.
Highest is he of the high, and most impenetrable ; his Name also
is eternal.
He is loftier than the loftiest, greater than the greatest ; most
mysterious
Of all that is mysterious ; he is unsearchable above all else, and
the heart of all knowledge centres about him.
For no understanding, no wit, no wisdom can bring aught to com-
pare with him.
For these cannot predicate manner or quantity of him ; they cannot
find analogy to him,
Nor any chance or accident, association or combination, fight or
darkness.
They cannot find in him form or colour nor any corporeal property.
Wherefore every investigation of him is baffled, and every calculation
is confounded.
All thoughts and all reflections weary themselves to find terms for
him,
To estimate him, to delimit him, to delineate him, to reveal him.

55 HYMNS OF UNITY
Though with all our wit and mind we have searched to discover
what he is,
Yet we have not found him nor known him. Howbeit from his
works we recognize and learn
That he is the sole Creator, Living, Omnipotent, and All-wise ;
That he is older than aught, wherefore he is called the God of old.
Forasmuch as he made everything from nothing, we know that
he is almighty.
Forasmuch as all his works are wise, we know that he fashioned
them with understanding.
As day by day he reneweth them all, we know that he is an ever-
lasting God ;
And since he existed before any of them, we know that he is living
and everlasting.
Therefore we may not attempt to reason of our Creator by thought
or speech.
We may not class him with matter or substance, or ascribe to him
accident or attribute.
We may not think of him as of root or stem, as genus or species, or
as in any wise limited.
All things that are seen or conceived or known are included in the
ten categories.
There are seven kinds of quantity and six kinds of motion, three
modes of predication, three times, and three dimensions.
Lo I in the Creator not one of them exists, for he created them all
together.
They shall all wither and pass away, yea, they shall perish and be
no more.
But thou wilt abide and see them all to fade, for thou livest and
endures t to all eternity.

HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE SIXTH DAY.
Thou alone art the Creator of all things, but naught in creation
can be likened unto thee.
Not all the earth can contain thee, nor heaven itself sustain thee.
Of yore the living waters trembled at thy presence, O God of Life ;
The earth quaked, and the waters fled and streamed from the sky.
Thou who stretchest out the heavens by thyself and spreadest out
the earth upon the waters,
Alone thou didst complete thy whole purpose, and hadst no need
of a helpmate.
There is none that could assist thee ; for everything is from thee
and of thy hand.
As were thy power and knowledge then, so are they now ; for thy
glory abideth with thee to eternity.
Thou wast not weary, thou wast not faint ; for in thy work was
no labour.
By thy word thy creatures were formed, and the design of thy
purpose by thy mere utterance.
Thou didst not delay it, thou didst not speed it, but madest every-
thing good in its due season.
From nothingness thou broughtest forth a new world, forming
everything from nothing.
Before any foundation existed, thou didst found the universe, and
by the will of thy spirit thou didst suspend it.
Yea, the everlasting arms support the world from the beginning
to the end of time and grow not weary.
Naught is difficult in thy sight, for thy will performeth every man-
date of thy Spirit.
Thou art not like unto thy work, nor comparable to any shape.
No work preceded thine, but thy wisdom prepared everything.
Thy creatures were fashioned nor earlier nor later than thy will ;
they neither overstepped thy pleasure nor fell short of it.
Thou didst not forget aught of thy purpose, nor leave aught
unfinished.
There was nothing deficient, nothing superfluous, nothing useless
in all thy works.
Thou didst approve of them ; who, then, could reject them ? No
matter of reproach can be found in them.
In wisdom thou didst begin them, and with understanding and
knowledge didst complete them.

57 HYMNS OF UNITY
From the first of them to the last, they were fashioned in truth
and in righteousness ; yea, and thou didst declare them good.
Before thy handiwork thou didst send forth the abundance of
thy mercies and loving-kindness ;
For, as for these, are they not of old unto thy servants ?
Before the birth of each living thing, its sustenance was provided ;
before the eater existed, thou didst prepare his eating.
For all thy creatures thou didst provide food, for each of them
according to his wants.
Thus thou didst make the first three days a prelude to the latter
three.
First thou didst clothe thee with light as with a garment, even
with the splendid mantle of the luminaries.
Thou wast exceeding great before all, and exceeding great after all.
Before any raiment was fashioned, he was arrayed in glory and
honour ; ere yet a weaver breathed, he was clothed in majesty,
Who covereth himself with light as with a garment and a mantle,
who stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain.
Therein thou didst set pathways for the stars that travel calmly
onward.
Thou didst separate the waters with the curtain of the firmament.
The depths of ocean thou madest the feeding-ground of water-
animals, and the sky of winged birds.
The earth was clad with grass and herbs, food for every kind of
beast and cattle.
In a fruitful spot thou didst plant a garden for the man thou
madest ;
And gavest him a helpmate that should make his life complete.
All thy works thou didst place in his hand : yea, and didst set
them beneath his feet,
That of them he might offer oxen and sheep, an acceptable offering
upon thine altar.
Thou madest him a garment that he might minister therein in the
beauty of holiness and glory.
In his heart thou didst set the wisdom of God, for in the image
of God thou didst form him for thee.
And from the face of the earth in wisdom thou didst supply all
his wants, leaving none unsatisfied.
Lo ! thy works are very many and very great, and all of them
shall praise thy Name, O Lord.
Yea, and in all their greatness and multitude, O Lord, they shall
give thanks unto thy Name.
Thou hast created the whole world for thy sake, and all thy
possessions exist but for thy glory.

HYMN OF UNITY FOR THE SABBATH
On the seventh day thou didst rest of old, and therefore thou hast
blessed the Sabbath.
Thy pious servants will continually bless thee in well ordered praise
for all thy works.
Blessed be the Lord who hath created them all, the living God and
everlasting King.
From eternity the abundance of thy mercies and loving-kindnesses
have been extended to thy servants.
In Egypt thou didst begin to make it known how greatly thou art
exalted
Above all gods, when thou didst execute great judgments on the
nation and its gods.
And when thou didst cleave the Red Sea, thy people saw thy great
Hand and were afraid.
Thou didst guide them on their way to make thee a glorious name,
and to show forth thy might.
Thou spakest to them from heaven, and the clouds dropped water.
Thou didst observe their journeying in the wilderness, in a parched
land untrodden by man.
And thou gavest thy people the corn of heaven, flesh abundant as
dust, and water from the rock.
Thou didst drive out many nations and peoples, whose land and
whose labour they inherited.
That so they might observe statutes and laws, even the sayings of
the Lord, which are pure.
They enjoyed fat pastures and pools of oil from the flinty rock.
And when they had rest, they built thy holy city and glorified thy
sanctuary.
And thou saidst : " In Zion I will dwell for aye, and her substance
I will greatly bless."
There her people were wont to offer up righteous sacrifices, and thy
priests clothed themselves with righteousness.
The house of Levi sang sweet melody and praised thee with trium-
phant song.
The house of Israel, too, and all that feared the Lord gave thanks
unto thy Name, O Lord.
Thou didst deal very kindly with those that went before : deal
kindly, too, with those that come after.

59 HYMNS OF UNITY
Yea, rejoice over us, O Lord, as thou didst rejoice over our ancestors,
To multiply us and to prosper us, that we may thank thee forever
for thy goodness.
O Lord, build thy city speedily, for it is called by thy Name ;
Cause the horn of David to spring up in it, and do thou, O Lord,
dwell in its midst for ever.
Let us there again offer up righteous sacrifices, and let the meat-
offering be accepted as in the days of old.
O bless thy people with the light of thy countenance ; be it thy
will to do their longing,
Even as they long to do thy will. O Lord, we beseech thee, we are
all thy people.
Thou hast chosen us to be unto thee a peculiar people, and upon
us thou hast set thy blessing. Selah !
We will continually declare thy praise and extol thy glorious Name.
Let thy people be blessed of thee, for whomso thou blessest is
blessed.
And as for me, whilst yet I live, I will praise my Creator, yea, I
will bless thee all the days of my pilgrimage.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord from everlasting unto everlasting.
As it is written, " Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for
ever and ever. And all the people said Amen, and Praise
to the Lord." "And Daniel answered and said: Blessed be
the name of Gcd for ever and ever : for wisdom and might
are his." And it is said, " Then the Levites, Jeshua and
Kadmiel, Bani, Hashbaniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebeniah
and Pethahiah said : Stand up and bless the Lord your
God for ever and ever, that all may bless thy glorious
name, which is exalted above all -blessing and praise."
And it is said : " Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from
everlasting to everlasting, and let all the people say Amen,
Praise ye the Lord." And it is said : " David blessed the
Lord before all the congregation ; and David said, Blessed
be thou, Lord God of Israel our father, from everlasting
unto everlasting."]

THE HYMN OF GLORY
The Ark is opened.
Sweet hymns shall be my chant and woven song3,
For Thou art all for which my spirit longs —
To be within the shadow of Thy hand
And all Thy mystery to understand.
The while Thy glory is upon my tongue,
My inmost heart with love of Thee is wrung.
So though Thy mighty marvels I proclaim,
'Tis songs of love wherewith I greet Thy name,
II
I have not seen Thee, yet I tell Thy praise,
Nor known Thee, yet I image forth Thy ways.
For by Thy seers' and servants' mystic speech
Thou didst Thy sov'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 youthful 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 f
His head is like pure gold : His forehead's flam©
Is graven glory of His holy name.
And with that lovely diadem 'tis graced,
The coronal His people there have placed.

6i HYMN OF GLORY
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 kingly brow to band.
By Him they were uplifted, carried, crowned,
Thus honoured inasmuch as precious found.
His glory is on me, and mine on Him, '
And when I call He is not far or dim.
Ruddy in red apparel, bright He glows
When He from treading Edom's wine-press goes.
Phylacteried the vision Moses viewed
The day he gazed on God's similitude.
He loves His folk ; the meek will glorify,
And, shrined in prayer, draw their rapt reply.
Truth is Thy primal word ; at Thy behest
The generations pass — O aid our quest
For Thee, and set my host of songs on high,
And let my psalmody 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.
Rise, 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).

62 MORNING SERVICE
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 com-
passion upon the earth. Blessed be he who hath compas-
sion 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,
0 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.
i 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 cove-
nant 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
1 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.

63 MORNING SERVICE
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 fulness 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 ever and ever. And all the people
said, Amen, and praised the Lord.
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool ;
for he is holy. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at
his holy hill ; for the Lord our God is holy. 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. 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
God. O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth ; O God
to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. Lift up thy-
self, thou judge of the earth : render to the proud their

desert. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord : thy blessing
be upon thy people. Selah. The Lord of Hosts is with us ;
the God of Jacob is a high tower unto us. Selah. O Lord
of Hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in thee. Save,
O Lord : may the King answer us on the day we call.
Save thy people and bless thine inheritance : feed them also,
and lift them up for ever. 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. Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us
thy salvation. Rise up for our help and redeem us for thy
mercy's sake. I am the Lord thy God which brought thee
out of the land of Egypt : open thy mouth wide and I wi!l
fill it. Happy is the people that is in such 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 salva-
tion. 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 firma-
ment 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 it : 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 judg-
ments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More
to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold :
sweeter also 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 thy servant also
from presumptuous sins ; let them not have dominion over
me : then shall I be upright, and I shall be clear from great
transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the medi-
tation 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 con-
tinually be in 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 to-
gether. I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered
me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were
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 fear 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 right-
eous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the
Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remem-
brance 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 re-
deemeth the soul of his servants : and none of them that
trust in him shall be condemned.

66 MORNING SERVICE
Psalm xc. A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to ever-
lasting, 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 are as in
sleep : 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 withereth. For we are 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 tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years
and ten ; and if 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 thy fear, 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 waste th
at noonday. 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;

67 MORNING SERVICE
thou hast set thine habitation on high. 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 Hon 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 cxxxv.
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, in 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 maketh lightnings for the rain ; he bringeth the wind
out of his treasuries. Who smote the firstborn of Egypt,
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 Amorites, and Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan : and gave their land for
an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Thy
Name, O Lord, endureth for ever ; thy memorial, O Lord,
throughout all generations. For the Lord will judge his
people, and he will repent him 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 there 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,

69 MORNING SERVICE
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. Give 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.

70 MORNING SERVICE
Psalm xcii. A Psalm, a Soag 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, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, 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 heard 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

71 MORNING SERVICE
memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations. The Lord
hath established his throne in the heavens ; and his king-
dom 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 habi-
tation. For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and
Israel for his 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 Lord : may the King
answer us on the day we call.
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. All thy works shall

72' MORNING SERVICE
give thanks unto thee, O Lord ; and thy pious servants
shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy king-
dom, 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.
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 stran-
gers ; he relieveth the fatherless and widow : but the way
of the wicked he subverteth. The Lord shall reign for ever,
thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.

73 MORNING SERVICE
Psalm cxlvii.
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 lifteth 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 young ravens which cry. He
delighteth not in the strength of the horse : 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 hoar-
frost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels : who
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 :
praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of
heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let
them praise the name of the Lord : for he commanded, and
they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever
and ever : he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea monsters, and all

74 MORNING SERVICE
deeps : fire, and hail ; snow, and vapours ; stormy wind
fulfilling his word : mountains, and all hills ; fruitful trees,
and all cedars : beasts, and all cattle ; creeping things, and
flying fowl : kings of the earth, and all peoples ; princes,
and all judges of the earth : both young men, and maidens ;
old men, and children : let them praise the Name of the
Lord : for his Name alone is exalted ; his glory is above
the earth and heaven. He also hath lifted up the horn of
his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children
of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm cxlix.
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and
his praise in the congregation of his pious servants. Let
Israel rejoice in him that made him : let the children of
Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his Name in
the dance : let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel
and harp. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people : he
will beautify the meek with salvation. Let his pious ser-
vants be joyful in glory : let them sing aloud upon their
beds. Let the high praises of God be in their throat, and
a two-edged sword in their hand ; to execute vengeance
upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, to
bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters
of iron ; to execute upon them the judgment written : He
is the honour of all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm cl.
Praise ye the Lord ; praise God in his sanctuary : praise
him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his
mighty acts : praise him according to his excellent great-
ness. Praise him with the sound of the horn : praise
him with the psalter and harp. Praise him with the
timbrel and dance : praise him with stringed instruments
and the pipe. Praise him upon the loud cymbals : praise
him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing
that hath breath praise the Lord ; praise ye the Lord.
The last verse is repeated.
Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen and Amen.
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of

Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things. And blessed be
his glorious Name for ever : and let the whole earth be filled
with his glory ; Amen and Amen.
From And David to worshippeth thee is said standing.
I Chronicles xxix. 10-13.
And David blessed the Lord before all the congregation :
and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our father,
for ever and ever. 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. Both riches and honour come
of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is
power and might ; and in thine hand it is to make great,
and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God,
we thank thee, and praise thy glorious Name.
Nehemiah ix. 6-1 1.
Thou, even thou, art Lord alone ; thou hast made heaven,
the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all
things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and
thou preservest them all ; and the host of heaven worship-
peth thee. Thou art the Lord the God, who didst choose
Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees,
and gavest him the name of Abraham ; and foundest his
heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him
to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amor-
ites and the Perizzites and the Jebusites and the Girgash-
ites even to give it unto his seed, and hast performed thy
words ; for thou art 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
through the midst of the sea on the dry land ; and their
pursuers thou didst cast into the depths, as a stone into
the mighty waters.

Exodus xiv. 30-xv. 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 Philistia.

Then were the dukes of Edom amazed ; the mighty men
of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them ; all the
inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
Terror and dread fall upon them ; by the greatness of thine
arm they shall be as still as a stone ; till thy people
pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou
hast gotten.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain
of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou
hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O
Lord, which thy hands have established.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
The last verse is repeated.
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 rule — and I be healed :
His word is true ; it makes the simple wise.
The soul of sons of knowledge — with a voice
Glad from the heart's well-being — shall impart
The hidden secrets dwelling in the heart :
His laws are right; they make the heart rejoice.

Lord, let the soul of sons that hold aright
The scales of justice — let 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 knowledge of Thy Law within 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 art His judgments ; they are justice whole.
The soul of those assembled in their throng
In lands of exile ; all those left of Thine,
Scattered — their soul shall praise Thee when they shine
Enthroned again where glory and grace belong,
Saying " Would, like the sea, our mouth were full of 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 ever-
lasting unto everlasting thou art God, and beside thee we
have no King, O thou who redeemest and savest, who
rescuest and deliverest, who supportest and hast compas-
sion 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
dumb to speak, he looseth the bound, he stayeth the
falling and supporteth them that are bowed down. To
thee alone do we give thanks. Though our mouths
were full of song as the sea, our tongues of exult-

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 mercies 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 deliverest 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.

80 MORNING SERVICE
Thou art God
in the vastness of thy power ; thou art great in the glory
of thy Name, mighty through thine Eternity and awful in
thine awful works. Thou art the King who sitteth upon
a throne, high and exalted.
He abideth to eternity ; exalted and holy is his Name.
And it is written, Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous : for
praise is comely for the upright. Through the mouth of
the upright thou shalt be praised ; with the words of the
righteous thou shalt be blessed ; thou shalt be exalted by
the tongue of the pious, and hallowed in the midst of the
holy.
And in the assemblies of the tens of thousands of thy
people, the house of Israel, thy Name, O our King, shall be
glorified, with song throughout every generation. For such
is the duty of all creatures before thee, O Lord our God and
God of our fathers, to give thanks unto thee, to praise,
laud, glorify, exalt, adore, bless, magnify and acclaim thee
with all the words of song and praise of David, the son of
Jesse, thine anointed servant.
Praised be thy Name, O our King for ever, thou God and
King that art great and holy in heaven and on earth. For
unto thee, O Lord our God and God of our fathers, song
and praise are meet, psalm and hymn, power and dominion,
supremacy, greatness, might, psalmody and glory, holiness
and sovereignty, blessings and thanksgivings henceforth and
evermore. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God and King, great
in praises, God of thanksgiving, Lord of wonders, who
makest choice of song and psalmody, sovereign God, the
Life of worlds.
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.

Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted and extolled be the Name of
the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be he, who is

that rideth upon the heavens whose Name is Jah, and rejoice before
him. His Name is exalted above all blessing and praise. Blessed

of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore.

windows of the firmament, bringing forth the sun from his place,
and the moon from her dwelling; giving light to the whole world
and the inhabitants thereof, whom thou createdst by the attribute
of mercy. In mercy thou givest light to the earth and to them
that dwell thereon, and in thy goodness renewest the creation
every day continually. O King, thou alone hast been exalted
of yore ; praised, glorified and extolled from days of old. 0
everlasting God, in thine abundant mercies have mercy upon us,
Lord of our strength, Rock of our stronghold, Shield of our
salvation, O thou Stronghold around us. There is none to be
compared unto thee, neither is there any beside thee ; there is
none but thee ! who is like unto thee ? 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, 0 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 sur-
round him. He is exalted above the holy Chayoth, and is
adorned in glory above the Chariot x ; 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 calleth 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 —
To God who rested from all his works, and on the seventh
day exalted himself and sat upon the throne of his glory ; who
robed himself in majesty on the day of rest, and called the

83 MORNING SERVICE
Sabbath day a delight. This is the praise of the seventh day,
that God rested thereon from all his work ; and the seventh
day uttered praise and said 1 : "A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath
day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord." There-
fore let all his creatures glorify and bless God ; let them render
praise, honour and greatness unto God, the King and Creator
of all, who in his holiness giveth an inheritance of rest unto his
people Israel on the holy Sabbath day. Thy Name, O Lord our
God, shall be sanctified, and thy remembrance, O our King,
shall be glorified in heaven above and on the earth beneath.
Be thou blessed, O our Saviour, for the excellency of thy handi-
work, and for the bright luminaries which thou hast made :
they shall glorify thee ; selah.
Continue with Be thou blessed.
On week days :
Thou givest light in mercy to the earth and to them that dwell
thereon, and in thy goodness renewest the creation every day
continually. How great are thy works, 0 Lord ! in wisdom
hast thou made them all ; the earth is full of thy possessions.
O King, thou alone hast been exalted of yore, praised, glorified,
and extolled from days of old. O everlasting God, in thine
abundant mercies have mercy upon us, Lord of our strength,
Rock of our stronghold, Shield of our salvation, O thou Strong-
hold around us. The blessed God, who is great in knowledge,
hath designed and made the radiance of the sun : the Beneficent
One hath wrought glory unto his Name ; he hath set luminaries
round about his strength. Chiefs of holy hosts continually
declare the high praises of the Almighty, the glory of God and
his holiness. Be thou blessed, O Lord our God, for the excellency
of thy handiwork and for the bright luminaries which thou hast
made : they shall glorify thee ; selah.
Be thou blessed, O our Rock, our King and our Redeemer,
Creator of holy beings. Praised be thy Name for ever, O our
King, Creator of ministering angels : whose ministering angels all
stand in the heights of the Universe and together proclaim with
awe aloud the words of the living God and everlasting King.
All of them are beloved : all of them are pure : all of them are
mighty, and all of them in dread and awe do the will of their

84 MORNING SERVICE
Master : and all of them open their mouths in holiness and
purity, with song and psalm, and bless and praise, glorify
and reverence, sanctify and ascribe sovereignty —
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. In 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
mighty 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 art thou, O Lord,
Creator of the luminaries.
With much love hast thou loved us, O Lord our God, and
with great and exceeding tenderness hast thou pitied us. O
our Father, our King, for the sake of our fathers, who trusted
in thee and whom thou didst teach the statutes of life, be
gracious unto us also and teach us. O our Father, com-
passionate Father, who art merciful, have mercy upon us
and put it into our hearts to understand and to discern, to
hearken, to learn and to teach, to observe, to do and to

lighten our eyes in thy Law, and cause our hearts to cleave
to thy commandments, and unite our hearts to love and
fear thy Name, so that we be never put to shame. For we
have trusted in thy holy, great and awful Name. Let us
rejoice and be glad in thy salvation. O bring us in peace
from the four corners of the earth, and make us go upright
to our land ; for thou art the God who worketh salvation.
Thou hast chosen us from all peoples and tongues, and hast
brought us near unto thy great Name in truth ; selah :
that we may give thanks unto thee and proclaim thy
Unity in love. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast chosen
thy people Israel in love.
Deuteronomy vi. 4-9.
Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
Blessed be his glorious, sovereign Name 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. 13-21.
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 first rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn and thy wine and
thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle,
that thou mayest eat and be satisfied. Take heed to your-

selves, 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 Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days
of the heavens upon the earth.
Numbers xv. 37-41.
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 com-
mandments of the Lord, and do them ; and that ye seek
not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye
use to go astray : that ye may remember and do all my
commandments, and be holy unto your God. I am the
Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God ; I am the Lord your God.
True and firm, established and enduring, right and faith-
ful, beloved and precious, desirable and pleasant, awful and
mighty, set and acceptable, good and beautiful, is this word
unto us for ever and ever. It is true, the God of the Uni-
verse is our King, the Rock of Jacob, the Shield of our

Name endureth ; his throne is established, and his king-
dom and his faithfulness endure for ever. His words also
live and endure : they are faithful and desirable for ever
and to all eternity, as for our fathers, so also for us, for our
children and for our generations, and for all the generations
of the seed of Israel thy servants. For the first and for
the last ages this word is good and endureth for ever and
ever ; it is true and constant, a statute which shall not pass
away. It is true that thou art the Lord our God and
the God of our fathers, our King, our fathers' King, our
Redeemer, the Redeemer of our fathers, our Creator, the
Rock of our salvation, our Preserver and Deliverer : thy
Name is from everlasting ; there is no God beside thee.
Thou hast been the help of our fathers from of old, a
Shield and a Saviour to their children after them in every
generation. In the heights of the Universe is thy habitation,
and thy judgments and thy righteousness reach unto the
ends of the earth. Happy is the man who hearkeneth unto
thy commandments, and layeth up thy Law and thy word
in his heart. It is true that thou art the Lord of thy people,
and a mighty King to plead their cause. It is true that
thou art the first and thou art the last, and beside thee we
have no King, redeemer and saviour. From Egypt thou
didst redeem us, O Lord our God, and from the house of
bondage thou didst deliver us ; all their first-born thou
didst slay, but thy first-born didst thou redeem ; thou
didst divide the Red Sea and drown the proud ; thou madest
the beloved to pass through, but the waters covered their
adversaries ; not one of them was left. Wherefore the
beloved praised and extolled God, yea, the beloved offered
hymns, songs, praises, blessings and thanksgivings to the
King and God who liveth and endureth, who is high and
exalted, great and awful, who bringeth low the haughty
and raiseth up the lowly, leadeth forth the prisoners, de-
livereth the meek, helpeth the poor and answereth his people
when they cry unto him — even praises to the Most High God,

blessed is he, yea blessed. 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 ?
With a new song the redeemed offered praise unto thy
Name at the sea-shore ; together they all gave thanks and
proclaimed thy sovereignty, saying :
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
O Rock of Israel, arise to the help of Israel, and deliver
according to thy word Judah and Israel. Our Redeemer,
the Lord of hosts is his Name, and Holy One of Israel.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast redeemed Israel.
The Amidah until in ancient years, on page 94, is said standing
and in silence.
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 re-
memberest 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 quicken-
est the dead, and art mighty to save.
On the Rejoicing of the Law add :
Thou causest the wind to blow and the rain to descend.
Thou sustainest the living with loving-kindness, quicken-
est 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

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 from We will sanctify
to holy God for the preceding paragraph :
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. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts ; the whole
earth is full of his glory.
Reader. Then with a noise of great rushing, mighty and
strong, they make their voices heard, and, raising themselves
toward the Seraphim, they exclaim over against them :
Blessed —
Cong. Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.
Reader. From thy place shine forth, O our King, and
reign over us ; for we wait for thee. When wilt thou reign
in Zion ? Speedily, in our days, do thou dwell there for
ever and ever. Mayest thou be magnified and sanctified
in the midst of Jerusalem, thy City, throughout all genera-
tions and to all eternity. And let our eyes behold thy
Kingdom, according to the word spoken in the songs of
thy might by the hand of David thy righteous anointed :
Cong, and Reader. The Lord shall reign for ever, thy God,
O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
Reader. Unto all generations we will declare thy great-
ness, and to all eternity we will proclaim thy holiness ; and
thy praise, O our God, shall not depart from our mouth for
ever ; for thou art a great and holy God and King. Blessed
art thou, O Lord, the holy God.

go MORNING SERVICE FOR TABERNACLES
Thou hast chosen us from all peoples ; thou hast loved us
and taken pleasure in us, and hast exalted us above all
tongues. Thou hast sanctified us by thy commandments,
and hast drawn us near, O our King, unto thy service, and
hast called us by thy great and holy Name.
On Sabbath add the bracketed words :
And thou hast given us in love, O Lord our God, [Sabbaths
for rest,] festivals for rejoicing, feasts and seasons for glad-
ness, [this Sabbath day and] this Day of the Feast
On the First and Second Days :
of Tabernacles,
On the Eighth and Ninth Days :
of the Eighth Day of Solemn
Assembly,
the season of our rejoicing, [in love :] a holy convocation,
a memorial of the departure from Egypt.
On the Intermediate Sabbath :
Moses rejoiced in the lot of his portion, for a faithful
servant didst thou call him. A crown of glory didst thou
place about his head when he stood before thee on Mount
Sinai. Two tables of stone did he bring down in his hand
and therein was inscribed the observance of the Sabbath,
and thus it is written in thy Law :
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.

And let our eyes behold thy return in mercy to Zion.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who restorest thy divine presence
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.
When the Reader repeats the Amidah, the Congregation substitute for
the preceding paragraph :
We make acknowledgment unto thee, that thou art the
Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, the God of all
flesh, our Creator and the Creator of all things in the begin-
ning. 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.
When the Reader repeats the Amidah, he adds the following paragraph :
Our God and God of our fathers, bless us with the three-
fold blessing in the Law, written by the hand of thy servant
Moses, and uttered by the mouth of Aaron and his sons,
the priests, thy holy people, as it is said : The Lord bless
thee and keep thee.

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 command-
ments. And as to any who devise evil against me, speedily
make their counsel of none effect and frustrate their designs.
Do thou it for the sake of thy Name, do it for the sake of thy
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, O Lord
our God and God of our fathers, that the temple be speedily
rebuilt in our days, 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. And the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem shall be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the
days of old and as in ancient years.

95 MORNING SERVICE FOR TABERNACLES
The Reader repeats the Amidah aloud till Israel with peace, above.
In some Synagogues the Morning Service is said separately. Kaddish,
p. ioo, is then said here and the second Service is commenced with
the taking of the Lulab. On the Intermediate Sabbath, or on the Eighth
Day if it fall on Sabbath, Ecclesiastes (pp. 156-169) is read at the
conclusion of the Morning Service.
PRAYER ON TAKING THE LULAB.
The Lulab is taken on the first seven days of the Festival {except on
Sabbath) and the following prayer and meditation are said :
Lo, I am prepared and ready to fulfil the command of my Creator,
who hath commanded us in his Law, And ye shall take unto you on
the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, a
bough of thick-leaved trees, and willows of the brook. While I
wave them, may abundance of blessings flow upon me, together with
holy thoughts : for verily he is the God of gods and Lord of lords ;
he ruleth below and above, and his sovereignty hath dominion over
all. May this my observance of the precept of the Four Species
oe accounted as though I had fulfilled it in all its details and par-
ticulars. 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. Blessed be the Lord for ever.
Amen, and Amen. .
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us with thy commandments, and hast
commanded us that we should take the Lulab.
The following Blessing is said on the first day of the Festival, or on the
second day if the first fall on Sabbath :
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast kept us in life, and hast preserved us, and enabled
us to reach this season.

HALLEL
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast sanctified us with thy commandments, and hast
commanded us to read the Hallel.
Psalm cxiii.
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
God, 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 cxiv.
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. WThat 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 the presence of the Lord tremble
thou earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob, which
turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a pool
of waters.
Psalm cxv.
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name
give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. Where-
fore should the nations say, Where is now their God ? But

HALLEL
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 have they, but they
walk not : neither speak they through their throat. They
that make them are like unto them : so is every 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 their shield.
The Lord hath been mindful of us ; he will bless us : he
will bless the house of Israel ; he will 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 which 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 this time forth
and for evermore ; praise the Lord.
Psalm cxvi.
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,
All men are liars.

What shall I render unto the Lord, for all his benefits
toward me ? I will take the cup of salvation, and call
upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the
Lord, now in the presence of all his people. Precious in
the sight of the Lord, is the death of his pious ones. O
Lord, truly I am thy servant : I am thy servant, and the
son of thine handmaid ; thou hast loosed my bonds. I will
offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon
the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord,
now in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the
Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise
ye the Lord.
Psalm cxvii.
O praise the Lord, all ye nations : praise him, all ye
peoples. For his merciful kindness is great toward us : and
the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.
The following verses are chanted by the Reader, the Congregation
responding with the first at the end of each verse.
Psalm cxviii.
O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good : for his
mercy endureth for ever.
Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth
for ever.
Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy
endureth for ever.
Out of the straitness I called upon the Lord : the Lord
answered me with enlargement. The Lord is for me ; I
will not fear : what can man do unto me ? The Lord is
for me among them that help me : therefore shall I look
upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in
the Lord than to put confidence in princes. All nations
compass me about : in the name of the Lord I will cut
them off. They compass me about ; yea, they compass
me about : in the name of the Lord I will cut them off.
They compass me about like bees ; they shall be quenched
as the fire of thorns : in the name of the Lord I will cut
them off. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall :
but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and song,
and is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and
salvation is in the tents of the righteous : the right hand
of the Lord doeth valiantly. The right hand of the Lord

For the Reading of the Law on the Rejoicing of the Law, see page 187.
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord ;
neither are there any works like unto thy works. Thy
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion en-
dureth 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
worlds.

ioi READING OF THE LAW
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.
On Sabbath the following until thy salvation is omitted .
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 acquitting.
The foregoing paragraph is said thrice.
Lord of the Universe, fulfil the wishes of my heart for good, yield
my desire and grant me my petition ; and render me [and my wife]
[and my husband] [and my sons and daughters] worthy to perform
thy will with a perfect heart, and deliver me from the evil inclina-
tion. Grant our portion in thy Law. O make us worthy that thy
Presence abide among us. Cause the spirit of wisdom and under-
standing to shine upon us, the spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. And thus may
it be thy will, O Lord our God and God of our fathers, that I may
become worthy to perform good deeds in thy sight and to walk in
the way of the upright before thee. Hallow us with thy command-
ments, so that we may attain to the long and blessed life of the
world to come. Guard us from evil deeds and from the evil hours
that distract the world. And he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy
shall compass him about. Amen.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
heart be acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock and my
Redeemer.
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.
The last verse is said three times.
Reader. Blessed be he who in his holiness hath given
the Law unto his people Israel.
Two Scrolls of the Law are taken from the Ark.

102 READING OF THE LAW
Reader and Cong. Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God, the
Lord is One.
Reader and Cong. One is our God ; great is our Lord :
holy is his Name.
Reader. Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his
Name together.
Cong. 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. Exalt ye the Lord our God and worship
at his footstool : holy is he. Exalt ye the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy mount ; for the Lord our God is
holy
For silent prayer :
Magnified and sanctified, praised and glorified, exalted and
extolled above all be the Name of the supreme King of kings,
the Holy One, blessed be he, in the worlds he hath created, this
world and the world to come, in accordance with his will and
the will of them that fear him, and of all the house of Israel.
He is the everlasting Rock, the Lord of all creatures, the God
of all souls : who dwelleth in the wide extended heights, who
inhabiteth the heaven of heavens of old : whose holiness is
above the Chayoth and above the throne of glory. Therefore
thy Name, O Lord our God, shall be hallowed among us in the
sight of all living. And we will sing a new song before him,
as it is written, Sing unto God, sing praises unto his Name ;
extol him that rideth upon the heavens, whose Name is J ah,
and rejoice before him. And may we see him eye to eye, when
he returneth to his habitation, as it is written : For they shall
see eye to eye, when the Lord returneth unto Zion. And it is
said : And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh
shall see it together ; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Reader. May the Father of compassion have mercy upon a
people that have been borne aloft by him. May he remember
the covenant with the patriarchs ; may he deliver our souls
from evil hours, curb the evil inclination in them that have
been carried by him, and graciously grant us an everlasting
deliverance, and fulfil our desires in the measure of his goodness,
salvation and mercy.

simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart :
the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The Lord will give strength unto his people ; the Lord will bless
his people with peace. As for God, his way is perfect : the
word of the Lord is tried ; he is a shield unto all that trust in
him.

For the First and Second Days.
Leviticus xxii. 26-xxiii. 44.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, When a bullock,
or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven
days under its dam : and from the eighth day and thence-
forth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering
made by fire unto the Lord. And whether it 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 command-
ments, 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
rest, an holy convocation ; ye shall do no manner of work :
it is a sabbath unto the Lord in all your dwellings.
These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, even holy
convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed
season. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the
month towards even, is a passover unto the Lord. And
on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto the Lord : seven days ye shall
eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an

shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven
days : in the seventh day is an holy convocation ; ye shall
do no servile work.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come
into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the
harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-
fruits of your harvest unto the priest. And he shall wave
the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you : on the
morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And in
the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb
without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto
the Lord. And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth
parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering
made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour : and the
drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of
an hin. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn,
nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought
the oblation of your God : it is a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings. And ye shall count
unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day
that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering ; seven sab-
baths shall there be complete. Even unto the morrow
after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days : and
ye shall offer a new meal-offering unto the Lord. Ye shall
bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth
parts of an ephah ; they shall be of fine flour, they shall be
baken with leaven, for firstfruits unto the Lord. And
ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish
of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams :
they shall be a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their
meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. And ye
shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs
of the first year for a sacrifice of peace-offerings. And
the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits
for a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs :
they shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. And ye shall

make proclamation on the self-same day ; there shall be
an holy convocation unto you ; ye shall do no servile
work : it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout
your generations. And when ye reap the harvest of your
land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field,
neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest : thou
shalt leave them for the poor, and for the stranger ; I am
the Lord your God.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying : Speak unto
the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the
first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a
memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work : and ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the Lord. And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh
month is the day of atonement ; it shall be an holy convoca-
tion unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls : and ye shall
offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And ye shall
do no manner of work in that same day : for it is a day of
atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord
your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be
afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work
in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his
people. Ye shall do no manner of work : it is a statute for
ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall
afflict your souls : in the ninth day of the month at even,
from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying : On the fifteenth day of this
seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven
days unto the Lord. On the first day shall be an holy
convocation : ye shall do no servile work. Seven days
ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord :
on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you ;
and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord ;
it is a solemn assembly ; ye shall do no servile work.

107 READING OF LAW— FIRST AND SECOND DAYS
These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, which ye
shall proclaim to be holy convocations : to offer an offering
made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meal-
offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day,
beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and
beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offer-
ings, which ye give unto the Lord. Howbeit on the fifteenth
day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the
fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of the Lord seven
days : on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the
eighth day shall be a solemn rest. And ye shall take you
on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, a branch of palm
trees, and boughs of thick-leaved trees, and willows of the
brook : and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven
days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven
days in the year : it is a statute for ever in your generations ;
ye shall keep it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in
booths seven days : all that are homeborn in Israel shall
dwell in booths : that your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I
brought them out of the land of Egypt : I am the Lord
your God. And Moses declared unto the children of Israel
the appointed seasons of the Lord.
Both Scrolls being placed upon the Desk, the Reader says :
Magnified and sanctified be his great Name in the world
which he hath created according to his will. May he estab-
lish 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.
Cong. Let his great Name be blessed for ever and ever.
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 first Scroll is then held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law which Moses set before the children
of Israel, according to the command of the Lord by the
hand 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 its right hand ; in its left hand are riches and
honour. It pleased the Lord for the sake of his righteous-
ness to magnify the Law and to make it honourable.
The following section is then read from the second Scroll :
Numbers xxix. 12-16.
And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall
have an holy convocation ; ye shall do no servile work,
and ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days.
And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by
fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord : thirteen young bul-
locks, two rams, and fourteen he-lambs of the first year ;
they shall be without blemish : and their meal-offering,
fine flour mingled with oil : three tenth parts unto every
bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth parts to each
ram of the two rams, and a several tenth part to each
lamb of the fourteen lambs : and one he-goat for a sin-
offering, beside the continual burnt offering, the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
The second Scroll is held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our King, King of the Universe,
who hast chosen good prophets and hast found pleasure in
their words, which were spoken in truth. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who hast chosen the Law, and Moses thy servant,
and prophets of truth and righteousness.

ioq HAPHTORAH— FIRST AND SECOND DAYS
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 it 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 Kings viii. 2-21.
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.
Ibr the first day.

no HAPHTORAH— FIRST AND SECOND DAYS
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 rilled the house of the Lord. Then
spake Solomon : The Lord said that he would dwell in the
thick darkness. I have surely built thee anTiouse of habita-
tion, a place for thee to dwell in for ever. And the king
turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of
Israel : and all the congregation of Israel stood. And he
said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which spake with
his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand
fulfilled it, saying : Since the day that I brought forth my

in HAPHTORAH— FIRST AND SECOND DAYS
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.

ii2 HAPHTORAH— FIRST DAY
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 rain. 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. In that
day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS
UNTO THE LORD : 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 shall be
no more a trafficker in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Exodus xxxiii. 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 : If thy presence go not with me, carry 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 ?

H3 READING OF LAW— INTERMEDIATE SABBATH
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 rose 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 ; x 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, If now I
have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray
1 Or, he cleareth the penitent, but cleareth not the impenitent :

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 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. Ob-
serve 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 a whoring 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 a whoring after their gods,
and make thy sons go a whoring 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 firstling 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 seventh day thou shalt rest : in plowing time and in
harvest thou shalt rest. And thou shalt observe the feast
of weeks, even of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the
feast of ingathering at the year's end. 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,

when thou goest up to appear before the Lord thy God
three times in the year. Thou shalt not offer the blood
of my sacrifice amid leavened bread : neither shall the
sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
The first of the firstfruits of thy ground thou shalt bring
unto the house of the Lord thy God : thou shalt not seethe
a kid in its mother's milk.
Both Scrolls being placed upon the Desk, the Reader says :
Magnified and sanctified be his great Name in the world
which he hath created according to his will. May he estab-
lish 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.
Cong. Let his great Name be blessed for ever and ever.
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 word ; and say ye,
Amen.
The first Scroll is then held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law which Moses set before the children
of Israel, according to the command of the Lord by the
hand 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 its right hand ; in its left hand are riches and
honour. It pleased the Lord for the sake of his righteous-
ness to magnify the Law and to make it honourable.
If the Sabbath fall on the first Intermediate Day, the sections beginning
And on the second day and And on the third day are read from the
second Scroll ; if on the third day, those beginning And on the fourth
day and And on the fifth day ; if on the fourth day, those beginning
And on the fifth day and And on the sixth day.
Numbers xxix. 17-31.
And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bul-
locks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs of the first year without
blemish : and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings

the lambs according to their number, after the ordinance :
and one goat for a sin-offering ; beside the continual burnt
offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering
thereof. And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams,

offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. And

the rams, and for the lambs according to their number, after

bullocks, two rams, and fourteen he-lambs of the first year
without blemish : and their meal-offering and their drink-
offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs
according to their number, after the ordinance : and one
goat for a sin-offering ; beside the continual burnt offering,
the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offerings thereof.
The second Scroll is held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast chosen good prophets and hast found pleasure in
their words, which were spoken in truth. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who hast chosen the Law, and Moses thy servant,
and prophets of truth and righteousness.

ii7 HAPHTORAH— INTERMEDIATE SABBATH
Ezekiel xxxviii. 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 hoi}/ 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
cometh, 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

and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears : and
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 will 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
it : after the end of seven months shall they search. And
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.

For the Eighth Day :
Deuteronomy xiv. 22-xvi. 17.
Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that
which cometh forth of the field year by year. And thou
shalt eat 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, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of
thy herd and of thy flock : 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 carry it, because the place
is too far from thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose
to set his name there, when the Lord thy God shall bless
thee : then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the
money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the
Lord thy God shall choose. And thou shalt bestow the

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
it 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 shall
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 it : 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 inherit-
ance 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 a 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, and 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
unto him : because that for this thing the Lord thy God

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. It 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 God : 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
leavened bread with it ; seven days shalt thou eat un-

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
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 Egypt :
and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after
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 Loi<l

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
of tabernacles : and they shall not appear before the Lord
empty. Every man shall give as he is able, according to
the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.
Both Scrolls being placed upon the Desk, the Reader says :
Magnified and sanctified be his great Name in the world
which he hath created according to his will. May he estab-
lish 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.
Cong. Let his great Name be blessed for ever and ever.
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 first Scroll is then held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law which Moses set before the children
of Israel, according to the command of the Lord by the
hand 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 its right hand ; in its left hand are riches and
honour. It pleased the Lord for the sake of his righteous-
ness to magnify the Law and to make it honourable.
The following section is then read from the second Scroll :
Numbers xxix. 35 — xxx. 1.
On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly : ye
shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer a burnt
offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
Lord : one bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs of the first
year without blemish : their meal-offering and their drink-
offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs,
shall be according to their number, after the ordinance : and
one goat for a sin-offering ; beside the continual burnt offering,

and the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.
These ye shall offer unto the Lord in your appointed seasons :
beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your
burnt offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for your
drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings. And Moses
told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord
commanded Moses.
The second Scroll is held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast chosen good prophets and hast found pleasure in
their words, which were spoken in truth. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who hast chosen the Law, and Moses thy servant,
and prophets of truth and righteousness.
I Kings viii. 54-66.
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of
praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he
arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on
his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven. And
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
not leave us, nor forsake us ; that he may incline our hearts
unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his command-
ments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he com-
manded our fathers. And let these my words, wherewith I

124 HAPHTORAH FOR THE EIGHTH DAY
have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the
Lord 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 God : 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 meal-
offering, 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.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
Rock of all worlds, righteous throughout all generations,
O faithful God, who sayest and doest, who speakest and
fulfillest, whose words are all truth and righteousness.
Faithful art thou, O Lord our God, and faithful are thy
words, and not one of thy words shall return void ; for thou
art a faithful and merciful God and King. Blessed art thou,
O Lord God, who art faithful in all thy words.

125 READING OF THE LAW FOR TABERNACLES
Have mercy upon Zion, for it is the home of our life, and
save her that is grieved in spirit speedily, in our days.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who causest Zion to rejoice in
her children.
Make us to rejoice, O Lord our God, in Elijah the prophet,
thy servant, and in the kingdom of the house of David,
thine anointed. Soon may he come and gladden our hearts.
Suffer not a stranger to sit upon his throne, nor let others
any longer inherit his glory ; for by thy holy Name thou
didst swear unto him, that his lamp should not be quenched
for ever. Blessed art thou, O Lord, the Shield of David.
On Sabbath add the bracketed words :
For the Law and for the Service and for the prophets,
[for this Sabbath day] and for this Day of the Feast
On the first seven days say ,
of Tabernacles,
On the Eighth Day say :
of the Eighth Day of Solemn
Assembly,
which thou, O Lord our God, hast given us [for holiness and
for rest,] for joy and gladness, for honour and for glory ;
for all these, O Lord our God, we thank and bless thee.
Blessed be thy Name by the mouth of every living being
continually and for evermore. Blessed art thou, O Lord,
who sanctifiest [the Sabbath and] Israel and the appointed
seasons.
The following two paragraphs are omitted on a week-day.
May deliverance come forth from heaven with grace,
mercy and compassion, long life, plentiful sustenance,
heavenly aid, health of body, true enlightenment, and a
living and robust offspring, an offspring that will not for-
sake nor neglect any of the words of the Law, unto all this
holy congregation, great and small, children and women.
May the King of the Universe bless you, prolong your lives,
increase your days and add to your years ; and may you
be delivered and saved from every affliction and mishap.
May the Lord of heaven be your help in all times and
seasons ; and let us say, Amen.

126 READING OF THE LAW FOR TABERNACLES
May he who blessed our fathers, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, bless all this holy congregation, together with all
other holy congregations ; them, their wives, their sons,
and their daughters, and all that belong to them ; those
who unite to form synagogues for prayer, and those who
enter therein to pray ; those who give lamps for a light
and wine for Kiddush and Habdalah, bread to way-
farers and charity to the poor, and all those who occupy
themselves in faithfulness with the wants of the congrega-
tion. May the Holy One, blessed be he, give them their
reward ; may he remove from them all sickness ; may he
heal their body, forgive all their iniquity, and send blessing
and prosperity upon all the work of their hands, and upon
all Israel their brethren ; and let us say, Amen.
He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto
princes, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, who
delivered his servant David from the hurtful sword, who
maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters :
may he bless, guard, protect and help, exalt, magnify and
highly aggrandize our Sovereign Lord, King Edward, our
Gracious Queen Alexandra, George, Prince of Wales,
the Princess of Wales, and all the Royal Family.
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy preserve
the king in life, guard him and deliver him from all trouble,
sorrow and hurt. May he make his enemies fall before
him ; and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper.
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy put a spirit
of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the
hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the
peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and
deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in
ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely ; and
may the redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be
his will ; and let us say, Amen.
He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto
princes, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, who
delivered his servant David from the hurtful sword, who
maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters :
may he bless, guard, protect and help, exalt, magnify
and highly aggrandize the President, the Vice-President,
and the Members of the Cabinet of the United States
of America.
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy preserve
the President in life, guard him and deliver him from all
trouble, sorrow and hurt. May he make his enemies fall
before him ; and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he
prosper. May the supreme King of kings in his mercy

days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell
securely ; and may the redeemer come unto Zion. O
that this may be his will ; and let us say, Amen.
I27 MEMORIAL OF THE DEPARTED
On the Eighth Day the following prayers are added.
Prayer in memory of a departed father :
May God remember the soul of my honoured father, who
has gone to his eternal home. O let his soul be bound up
in the bond of life, and may he rest in honour, with fulness
of joy in thy presence, with pleasures at thy right hand for
evermore. Amen.
Prayer in memory of a departed mother :
May God remember the soul of my honoured mother, who
has gone to her eternal home. O let her soul be bound up
in the bond of life, and may she rest in honour, with fulness
of joy in thy presence, with pleasures at thy right hand for
evermore. Amen.
Reader. May he who blessed our fathers, Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, bless all the members of this holy congregation,
who have vowed charity in memory of the souls of their
kinsfolk who have gone to their eternal home. May the
Holy One, blessed be he, preserve this holy congregation
and deliver them from all sorrow and distress and from all
sickness and disease, and may he send blessing and pros-
perity upon all the work of their hands, and grant them
to go up to celebrate the festival with all Israel our brethren,
and let us say, Amen.
O God, who art full of compassion, who dwellest on high,
grant perfect rest beneath the shelter of thy divine Presence,
in the exalted places among the holy and pure, who shine
as the brightness of the firmament, to
[Here are mentioned the names of the departed Chief Rabbis],
who have gone to their eternal home. We beseech thee,
Lord of compassion, shelter them evermore under the
cover of thy wings, and let our souls be bound up in the
bond of life, and may they rest in peace upon their couches ;
and let us say, Amen.

128 READING OF THE LAW
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. All 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 preserve th 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.
The Ark is opened.
Reader. Let them praise the Name of the Lord ; for his
Name alone is exalted ;
Cong. His glory is above the earth and heaven. He
also hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all
his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near unto
him. Praise ye the Lord.
On Sabbath the following Psalm is sung :
Psalm xxix. A Psalm of David.
Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord
glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due
unto his Name ; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters : the God of glory
thundereth : the Lord is upon many waters. The voice of
the Lord is powerful ; the voice of the Lord is full of
majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars ; yea,
the Lord breaketh 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 divideth the flames
of fire. The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness ; the
Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the
Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests :
and in his temple every thing saith, Glory. The Lord sitteth
upon the flood ; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever. The
Lord will give strength unto his people ; the Lord will
bless his people with peace.
On a week-day the following Psalm is sung f
Psalm xxiv. A Psalm of David.
The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the
world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded
it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who
shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ? or who shall stand
in his holy place ? He that hath clean hands, and a pure

This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy
face ; O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates ;
and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors ; and the King of
glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory ? The
Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift
up your heads, O ye gates ; even lift them up, ye ever-
lasting doors ; and the King of glory shall come in. Who
is this King of glory ? The Lord of hosts, he is the King
of glory. Selah.
As the Scrolls are placed in the Ark, the following is said :
And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, unto the
many thousands of Israel. Arise, O Lord, unto thy resting-
place ; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests
be clothed with righteousness ; and let thy pious ones
shout for joy. For the sake of David thy servant, turn
not away the face of thine anointed. For I give you good
doctrine ; forsake ye not my Law. 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. Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord,
and we shall be turned ; renew our days as of old.
The Ark is closed.

(pages 138-139) is said here.
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.
Cong, and Reader. Let his great Name be blessed for ever

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 re-
memberest 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

Thou causest the wind to blow and the rain to descend.
Thou sustainest the living with loving-kindness, 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.
Thou hast chosen us from all peoples ; thou hast loved
us and taken pleasure in us, and hast exalted us above all
tongues. Thou hast sanctified us by thy commandments,
and hast drawn us near, O our king, unto thy service, and
hast called us by thy great and holy Name.
On Sabbath add the bracketed words.

But because of our sins we have been exiled from our
land and removed far away from our country, and we are
unable to go up and appear and worship before thee, or
to perform our duties in the house of thy choice, the great
and holy house called by thy Name, because of the hand
that hath been stretched out against thy sanctuary.
May it be thy will, O Lord our God and God of our fathers,

They shall rejoice in thy Kingdom who keep the Sabbath
and call it a delight ; the people that hallow the seventh
day shall, all of them, be satisfied and delighted with thy
goodness ; for thou didst find pleasure in the seventh day
and didst hallow it ; the desirable of days didst thou call
it, in remembrance 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 com-
passion, 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 Law : 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 of tabernacles : and they
shall not appear before the Lord empty. Every man shall
give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy
God which he hath given thee.
On Sabbath add the bracketed words :
Grant us, O Lord our God, the blessing of thy festivals,
for life and peace, for joy and gladness, even as thou hast

our fathers, accept our rest,] sanctify us by thy command-
ments and grant our portion be in thy Law ; satisfy us with
thy goodness, and gladden us with thy salvation, and purify
our hearts to serve thee in truth. Cause us, O Lord our

holy [Sabbath and] Festivals ; and may Israel rejoice in

thee who sanctify thy Name. Blessed art thou, O Lord,
who sanctifiest [the Sabbath and] Israel and the appointed
seasons.
Accept, O Lord our God, thy people Israel and their
prayer ; restore the service to the innermost part of thine
house ; receive in love and favour the fire-offerings of Israel
and their prayer ; and may the service of thy people Israel
be ever acceptable to thee. And let our eyes behold thy
return in mercy to Zion. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who
restorest thy divine presence 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 a Beneficent One,
for thy mercies never fail ; thou art the Merciful One, for
thy kindnesses never cease. We have ever hoped in thee.
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 peace, welfare, blessing, grace, loving-kindness and
mercy unto us and unto all Israel, thy people. Bless us,
O our Father, yea, all of us together, with the light of thy
countenance ; for by the light of thy countenance thou
hast given unto us, O Lord our God, the Law of life, loving-
kindness and righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and 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 command-
ments. And as to any who devise evil against me, speedily
make their counsel of none effect and frustrate their designs.
Do thou it for the sake of thy Name, do it for the sake of thy
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, O Lord
our God and God of our fathers, that the temple be speedily
rebuilt in our days 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. And the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem shall be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the
days of old and as in ancient years.
READER'S REPETITION OF THE AMIDAH.
On the Eighth Day the Ark is opened.
Reader. Blessed art thou, O Lord our God and God of
our fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of
Jacob, 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 quicken-
est the dead and art mighty to save.
On the Rejoicing of the Law add :
Thou causest the wind to blow and the rain to descend.

138 PRAYER FOR RAIN
On the Eighth Day, from here till and not for famine. Amen
(page 139) is added :
Our God and God of our fathers,
Remember one who followed Thee as to the sea
Flows water.
Thy blessed son, like tree well set where rivers met
Of water.
Where'er he moved, Thou wast his shield ; in fire or field
Or water,
And heaven-proved, his seed he sowed, wherever flowed
A water.
For Abram's sake send water !
11.
Remember one whose heralds three beneath the tree
Had water.
Whose sire was won to do Thy will, his blood to spill
Like water.
Himself as high in faith could soar, his heart to pour
Like water.
Where earth lay dry, he dug and found deep underground
The water.
For Isaac's sake send water !
in.
Remember one, his Staff who bore from Jordan's shore
O'er water,
And rolled the stone — his love to tell — from off the well
Of water,
And, wrestling hard, achieved to tire a prince of fire
And water.
Hence Thy regard him safe to bear through fire and air
And water.
For Jacob's sake send water !
iv.
Remember one whose ark 'mid sedge was drawn from edge
Of water.
Thy shepherd son who could not sleep before his sheep
Had water.
And when Thy flock did likewise burn with thirst and yearn
For water,
He struck the rock, there gushed a rill, to give their fill
Of water.
For Moses' sake send water !
v.
Remember one, Thy Temple-priest, who hallowed feast
With water.
Atonement's sun declined to night with fivefold rite
Of water.
The Law was read, and then afresh he laved his flesh
With water.
Remote, in dread, he served his folk that swiftly broke
Like water.
For Aaron's sake send water 1

139 PRAYER FOR RAIN
VI.
Remember last the tribes who fled across the bed
Of water.
Thy chosen caste for whom turned sweet the bitter sheet
Of water.
For Thee their race have ever shed their hearts' best red
Like water.
Without Thy face their spirits whirl as in a swirl
Of water I
For Israel's sake send water !
For thou art the Lord our God who causest the wind to
blow and the rain to descend :
Reader : Congregation :
For a blessing and not for a curse. Amen.
For life and not for death. Amen.
For plenty and not for famine. Amen.
The Ark is closed.
Thou sustainest the living with loving-kindness, 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,
0 King, who killest and restorest to life and causest salva-
tion to spring forth ? And faithful art thou to quicken
the dead. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who quickenest the
dead.
We will reverence thee and sanctify thee according to the
mystic utterance of the holy Seraphim, who hallow thy
Name in the sanctuary, 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. His glory filleth the Universe : his ministering
angels ask one of another, Where is the place of his glory ?
Those over against them say, Blessed —
Cong, and Reader. Blessed be the glory of the Lord from
his place.
Reader. From his place he will turn in mercy and be
gracious unto a people who continually, evening and morn-

thy divine presence unto Zion, and the ordained service to
Jerusalem. And let our eyes behold thy return in mercy
to Zion, and there will we worship thee in awe, as in the

Reader. Blessed art thou, O Lord, whom alone we serve
in awe.

perfect servant. Grant me and all my household our food and
sustenance, in plenty and not in penury, earned by righteous and
not by wrongful means, in happiness and not in sorrow, from out
of thine ever-open hand, even as thou didst give Jacob our father
bread to eat and raiment for clothing. Grant that we may find
love and grace and favour in thy sight and in the sight of all who
see us, and may my words be heard in thy service, even as thou
didst grant grace and favour and mercy unto Joseph, thy righteous
one, in thy sight and in the sight of all that beheld him. Do thy
wondrous deeds and miracles by me ; shew me a sign for good and
prosper me in my ways. Put understanding into my heart, that
I may discern and know and fulfil all the words of the study of thy
Law and thy deep mysteries. Deliver me from error and purify
my thoughts and my heart for thy worship ; and prolong my days
[and the days of my wife, my sons and my daughters] [and the
days of my parents] in welfare, in happiness, in abundance of strength

Moriah, hill of revelation and abode of thy majesty, where
once David dwelt, goodliest of Lebanon, lovely height, the

tranquil habitation, the tabernacle of Salem, the goal of

home of thy glory. O save her, yea save her embattled hill.
O Eternal, we beseech thee, save us now.
Saviour of mighty ones that dwelt with Thee
In Lud,4 the land whence Thou didst set them free ;
So save Thou us !
As Thou didst save together God and nation,
The people singled out for God's salvation ;
So save Thou us !
The hosts of Thy redeemed, with manifold
Angelic hosts were saved by Thee of old.
So save Thou us !
From bondage grim Thy power brought forth the pure,
Thou, Gracious One, didst all their grief endure.
So save Thou us !
They passed between the deep divided sea ;
And with them for their guide, the light from Thee.
So save Thou us !

enquiry concerning the bearing of burdens and setting at
two thousand cubits the Sabbath-day's journey. They
restrain their foot from profaning the Sabbath, and fulfil thy
behest to remember and to keep the Sabbath. They hasten
to welcome its advent, and from the six days labour to
provide all for the Sabbath. They rest and wait until the
Sabbath is ended, calling it a glory and a delight. They
don fresh raiment and new garments on the Sabbath. They
prepare food and drink for its coming, and honour it with
choice fare. They appoint three meals for the Sabbath and
break bread upon two loaves. They teach the four-fold
limits of the Sabbath.2 They kindle the appointed light

freedom and with one intent chose the Sabbath day for

a double measure of food on the sixth day, so save us now.

their shepherd approved and praised their deed, so save us now.
As thou didst save them, richly sustained on the Sabbath
by the manna laid by, whose appearance altered not, neither
did its savour change, so save us now.
As thou didst save those who ordained the laws of
Sabbath-burdens, who rested and reposed thereon and
observed its bounds and limits, so save us now.
As thou didst save them who in thy fourth utterance
heard the twain command " Remember " and " Observe " 5
the holiness of the Sabbath, so save us now.
As thou didst save them that were appointed to encircle
Jericho seven times, who shut it in, until it fell on the
Sabbath and lay beneath their power, so save us now.

As thou hast saved thy heaven-comforted sons, whose

made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day

of this people Israel at all times as the matter shall reqjire: that
all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that
there is none else.

sixteen manehs ; of costus twelve, of bark three, and of cinnamon
nine manehs ; of alkali procured from Karshina nine kabs ; of
Cyprus wine three seahs and three kabs, though if Cyprus wine was
not procurable old white wine was brought ; of salt of Sodom the
fourth part of a kab, and a minute quantity of maaleh ashan.1
Rabbi Nathan says, a minute quantity of the herb that grew on
the banks of the Jordan was used ; if one added honey he rendered
the incense unfit for use, and if he omitted one of its sweet spices
he was deserving of death. Rabban Simeon son of Gamaliel says,
the balm is a resin that exudes from the wood of the balsam tree.
The alkali procured from Karshina was used to bleach and beautify
the cloves, and the Cyprus wine to steep them therein that the
odour might be pungent.
Mishnah Tamid, Cap. vii.
These are the Psalms which the Levites used to say in the
Temple 2 : —
On the first day of the week they said — " The earth is the Lord's,
and the fulness thereof ; the world, and they that dwell therein."
On the second day—" Great is the Lord and greatly to be
praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness."
On the third day — " God standeth in the congregation of the
mighty : he judgeth among the judges."
On the fourth day — " O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth ;
O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth."
On the fifth day — " Sing aloud unto God our strength ; make
a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob."
On the sixth day — " The Lord reign eth, 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."
On the Sabbath — " A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath Day." It
is the psalm and song for eternity, for the day that shall be wholly
a Sabbath, even repose for life everlasting
Talmud, Berachoth 64.
Rabbi Eleazar said in the name of Rabbi Chanina, The disciples
of the sages increase peace in the world, as it is said, " And all thy
children shall be taught of the Lord : and great shall be the peace
of thy children." Read not banayich — " thy children," but bonayich
— " thy builders." Great peace have they who love thy Law :
and there is no stumbling for them. Peace be within thy walls :
prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions'
sakes : I will now say, Peace be within thee. For the sake of the
house of the Lord our God : I will seek thy good. The Lord will
give strength unto his people : the Lord will bless his people with
peace.

It behoveth us to praise the Lord of all, to ascribe great-
ness 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 acknowledgment 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. 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.

and at a near time ; and say ye, Amen.

Cong, and Mourner. Let his great Name be blessed for
ever and ever.
Mourner. 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.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life for
us and for all Israel ; and say ye, Amen.
May he who maketh peace in his high places make peace
for us, and for all Israel ; and say ye, Amen.
Lord of the world, He reigned alone
While yet the universe was naught.
When by His will all things were wrought,
Then first His sov'ran 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'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.

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. All 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.
And a redeemer shall come to Zion and unto them that
turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. And as
for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord :
my spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have
put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor
out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of
thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for
ever. But thou art holy, that dwellest amid the praises
of Israel. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy,
holy, holy is the Lord of hosts : the whole earth is full of
his glory. [* And they receive sanction one from the other,
and say, Holy in the highest heavens, the place of his
abode ; holy upon earth, the work of his might ; holy for
ever and to all eternity is the Lord of hosts ; the whole
earth is full of the radiance of his glory.] And a wind
lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a mighty
rushing — Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.
[* And a wind hf ted me up, and I heard behind me the voice
of a mighty rushing of those who uttered praises and said,
Blessed be the glory of the Lord from the place of his
abode.] The Lord shall reign for ever and ever, f1 The
kingdom of the Lord endureth for ever and to all eternity.]
O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers,
keep this for ever in the innate thoughts of the heart of thy
people, and direct their heart unto thee. 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. For thou, O Lord, art good and
ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that
call upon thee. Thy righteousness is an everlasting right-
eousness, and thy Law is truth. Thou wilt perform truth

to Jacob and mercy to Abraham, as thou hast sworn unto
our fathers from the days of old. Blessed be the Lord who
day by day loadeth us with blessings : he is the God of our
salvation, Selah. The Lord of hosts is with us ; the God
of Jacob is a stronghold unto us. Selah. O Lord of hosts,
happy is the man that trusteth in thee. Save, O Lord :
may the King answer us on the day when we call.
Blessed is our God who hath created us for his glory, and
hath separated us from them that go astray, who hath given
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 happiness and blessing in the days of
the Messiah and in the life of the world to come. 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. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord and
whose trust the Lord is. Trust ye in the Lord for ever :
for in J ah the Lord is an everlasting rock. And they that
know thy Name will put their trust in thee ; for thou hast
not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord. It pleased the
Lord for the sake of his righteousness to magnify the Law
and to make it honourable.
The Reader says Half Kaddish, page 14.
On Sabbath :
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.
On Sabbath a Scroll is taken from the Ark and the following passage
is read :
Deuteronomy xxxiii. 1-17.
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 up from Seir
unto them ; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he
came from the ten thousands of holy ones : at his right

hand was a fiery law unto them. Yea, 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 com-
manded 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 him ; and be thou an help against his adversaries.
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with
thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, with
whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah ; who said
of his father and of his mother, I have not seen him ; neither
did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own chil-
dren : for they have observed thy word, and shall keep thy
covenant. They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and
Israel thy law : they shall put incense before thee, and
whole burnt offering upon thine altar. Bless, Lord, his
substance, and accept the work of his hands : smite through
the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that
hate him, that they rise not again. And of Benjamin he
said, The beloved 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 things of
the lasting hills : and for the precious things of the earth
and fulness thereof, and for 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.
The Scroll is returned to the Ark. TJie Amidah is then said {pp.
15-18), and is repeated by the Reader, and the Service is continued
with Kaddish (p. 8), It behoveth us and the Mourners' Kaddish {pp.
21-22).

ECCLESIASTES
On the Intermediate Sabbath, or on the Eighth Day if it fall on 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 he 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. All 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 it : 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. Is 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 con-
cerning 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 sun : 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, Lo, 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 is 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, It is mad : and of mirth, What
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 there-
with 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. So 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 comet h 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 : and I myself perceived also that one event

happeneth to them all. Then said I in my heart, As it
happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me ; and
why was I then more wise ? Then I said in my heart, that
this also is vanity. For there is no remembrance of the
wise more than of the fool for ever : seeing that which
now is, in the days to come shall all be forgotten ; and how
dieth the wise man even as the fool. Therefore I hated
life ; because the work that is wrought under the sun is
grievous unto me : for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Yea, I hated all my labour wherein I had laboured under
the sun : because I should leave it unto the man that shall
be after me. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise
man or a fool ? yet shall he have rule over all my labour
wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed
wisdom under the sun : this is also vanity. Therefore I
went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour
which I took under the sun. For there is a man whose
labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in skill : yet
to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it
for his portion ; this also is vanity and a great evil. For
what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of
his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun ? For
all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief ; yea, his
heart taketh not rest in the night : this is also vanity.
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat
and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in
his labour : this also I saw, even I, that it was from the
hand of God. For who can eat, or who can hasten hereunto,
more than I ? For God giveth to a man that is good in
his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy : but to the
sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that
he may give to him that is good before God ; this also is
vanity and vexation of spirit.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven : a time to be born, and a time
to die : a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which
is planted ; a time to kill, and a time to heal ; a time to
break down, and a time to build up ; a time to weep,

and a time to laugh ; a time to mourn, and a time to dance ;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
together ; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing ; a time to seek, and a time to lose : a time

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he
laboureth ? I have seen the travail, which God hath given
to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made
every thing beautiful in his time : also he hath set the
world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work
that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know
that there is naught so good for them as to rejoice and do
good as long as they live. And also that every man should
eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour : it is
the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it
shall be for ever ; nothing can be put to it, nor any thing
taken from it : and God doeth it, that men should fear
before him. That which hath been is now ; and that
which is to be hath already been : and God seeketh that
which is past. And moreover I saw under the sun : lo,
the place of judgment, wickedness was there ; and the
place of righteousness, iniquity was there. I said in mine
heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked : for
there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of
men, that it was that God might shew them, and that they
might see that they themselves are as the beast. For that
which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts ; even one
thing befalleth them ; as the one dieth, so dieth the other ;
yea, they have all one breath : and the pre-eminence of

man over beast is naught ; for all is vanity. All 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 lie 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
reign : 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 aft er shall not rej oice in him :
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 God : 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 it ; 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 angel, 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 pro-
vince, 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 all : 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. Every 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 it : this is
vanity, and it is an evil disease. If 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 de-
parteth 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. Yea,
though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he
seen no good : do not all go to one place ? All 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 ? For who knoweth what is good

for man in life, all the days of his vain life 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 ? for
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 hath 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 life in his wicked-
ness. 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 strengtheneth 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
folly, 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. Lo, 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 interpre-
tation 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 what-
soever pleaseth him. Because the word of a king hath
power : and who may say unto him, What doest thou ?
Whoso 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 : there-
fore the misery of man is great upon him. For he knoweth
not that which shall be : for who can tell him when 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 vanity. 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 pro-
longed : 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 com-
mended 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 farther ; 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 all : 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. Let thy garments be always white : and let thy
head lack no ointment. Live joyfully with the wife whom
thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which
he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity :
for that is thy portion in this life, 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 it : 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. Yea 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 it : 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 mis-
chievous 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 knoweth not how to go to the
city. Wroe 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. By
much slothfulness the building 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.

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. In
the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold
not thine hand : for thou knowest not whether 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 all : 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 nourish,
and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail :

169 ECCLESIASTES
because 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 are given
from one shepherd. And furthermore, my son, be
admonished : of making many books there is no end ;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let 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 every
secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter : Fear God, and keep
his commandments ; for this is the whole duty of man.
The Mourners' Kaddish is said (page 21).

On the first intermediate day :
I will pour forth my supplication in this my house of
prayer. On the Fast I revealed my transgression and
besought thee upon it to save me. Hearken to the voice
of my cry ; arise and save me. Remember and have com-
passion, my Saviour. Comfort me with thy solaces, O
living God. In 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
my 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,
my Saviour, save me now. Shine forth to save, yea save,
I beseech thee.
On the second intermediate day, if it fall on Thursday or Friday,
the following hymn is said ; if on Sunday, I will pour forth my
supplication is substituted ; if on Tuesday, Save the world's corner-
stone, page 173.
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 borne 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, beseeching Thee, " Save ! "

171 SERVICE FOR THE INTERMEDIATE DAYS
On the third intermediate day :
O God of salvation, sealed by a four-fold oath, thy people
draw nigh in supplication and knock at thy gate with
offering of prayer, meditating upon the solacing words of
thy Law and delighting in their deep-stored message. They
cry aloud to win thy heed. They long for salvation, yea
their hearts are woven unto thee. O incline unto them.
They con and note the advent of the sacred seasons. They
bend the knee beseeching that they may hear proclaimed
from thy lips, O thou who dispensest salvation, the tidings
foretold and declared of yore that shall fulfil thy testimony.
O thou who workest salvation, who art righteous to save,
thrice x save the city of our salvation in the clash of con-
flict. Speed unto our salvation ; yea save, we beseech thee.
On the fourth intermediate day :
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, we beseech thee.
O Eternal, we beseech thee, save us now.
The service is continued with Saviour of mighty ones {page 144),
Save thy people and Kaddish {pages 147-148), It behoveth us and
the Mourners' Kaddish {pages 150-15 1).

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

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, monu-
ment 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 borne 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.

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.
Surfer 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.

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

During the seventh circuit :
For the sake of the patriarch cast into flames of fire : 1
for the sake of the son who was bound upon the wood and
the fire : 2 for the sake of the mighty hero who wrestled
with a prince of fire : 3 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 : 4 for
his sake who was as thy vicegerent amid the host of fire : 5
for the sake of the guerdon of commands given from out
the fire : for the sake of the tabernacle canopied beneath
curtains and a cloud of fire : for the sake of the fair moun-
tain 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 : 6 for his sake who with fiery censer allayed
thy fiery work : 7 for his sake who burned with a jealousy
great as of fire : 8 for the sake of him who waved his hand
and there fell stones of fire : 9 for the sake of him who
placed upon the altar a suckling lamb, an offering made by
fire : 10 for him who stood on the threshing-floor and won
grace by fire : 1X for him who interceded in the Temple-
court till there descended fire : 12 for the messenger who
rose and was received aloft with chariot and horses of
fire : 13 for the holy ones who were cast into the furnace
of fire : 14 for him that beheld many myriads of ministering
angels and streams of fire : 15 for the sake of the desolations
of thy city, burnt with fire, O save. Save for the sake of
the generations of Judah's princes whom thou wilt make
as a refining furnace of fire.16
O, Eternal, we beseech thee, save us now.
Saviour of mighty ones that dwelt with Thee
In Lud, the land whence Thou didst set them free ;
So save Thou us !
As Thou didst save together God and nation,
The people singled out for God's salvation ;
So save Thou us \
The hosts of Thy redeemed, with manifold
Angelic hosts were saved by Thee of old.
So save Thou us !

From bondage grim Thy power brought forth the pure,
Thou, Gracious One, didst all their grief endure !
So save Thou us !
They passed between the deep divided sea ;
And with them for their guide, the light from Thee.
So save Thou us !
" He saved " : Thy stock with joyful singing told :
Then saved was He, who gave them birth of old.
So save Thou us !
" And I will bring you out," the mandate said :
" And I went out with you," the mystics read.
So save Thou us !
Thy sons with circling step, (their guardian Thou !)
Around Thine altar bore the willow bough,
So save Thou us !
Thine Ark was won by marvels from the foe,
Philistia, sinful, by Thy wrath laid low.
So save Thou us !
And with Thy banished throngs to Babylon
Journeyed in love Thy Presence, Gracious One !
So save Thou us !
Helper of Jacob's captive tribes of yore,
Return, and Jacob's exiled tents restore,
And save Thou us !
[Saviour of them that sought to do Thy will
And yearned for Thy salvation, save us still !
O save Thou us .'1
O Eternal, we beseech Thee, save us now.
Make us to be a name and praise ; restore us unto our
lot and inheritance, and exalt us higher and higher. Raise
us to be thy chosen vineyard and make us as a tree planted
by pools of water. Redeem us from all plague and disease,
and crown us with perfect love. Gladden us with our
house of prayer, and lead us by still waters ; selah. Fill
us with wisdom and discernment ; clothe us with strength
and greatness ; adorn us with the diadem of perfection.
Lead us forward on the plain road of righteousness. Guide
us upon the straight path of equity. Be gracious unto us

of thy mercy and compassion. Be it said of us again,
" Who is this that goeth up ? " l Save us with thy mighty
hand. Deck us with the radiance of a victorious host.
Cause us to cleave close to thee as an encircling girdle.
Bring us near to the end of redemption. Lead us to thy
house with song and gladness. Glorify us with salvation
and triumph. Strengthen us with enlargement and de-
liverance. Hearten us with the rebuilding of thy city as
at the first. Exalt us for a praise above every nation.
Make our name to resound with gladness and rejoicing.
Cause us to lie down in a goodly pasturage, bright with thy
splendour, and save us. Fortify us, O God of Jacob, and
save us ; selah.
O save, we beseech thee.
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 —
O save !
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
known " ; Then save.
I beseech Thee, 0 worker of wonders for hearts without stain,
Be it known that herein is the wonder of Thee — that again
Thou wilt save.
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."
I beseech Thee, fulfil their desire that do call Thee in woe,
That are bound as Thy suppliant was on the mountain, when lo !
Thou didst save.
I beseech Thee, the trees of Thy planting ! — give shelter to these ;
When uprooting the mighty — Almighty, remember Thy trees,
And save.
I beseech Thee, throw open Thy treasures of rain ; let us see
The good of the land that is thirsting for showers from Thee,
And save.

I beseech Thee, give friendship to those who have called Thee ;
and feed
With the goodness and fat of Thy pasture their hunger and need,
And save.
I beseech Thee, O lift up Thy gates from their desolate fall,
O lift up that ruinous heap for Thy people that call,
" O save ! "
O God, we beseech Thee, save ! O save !
O God ! like sheep we all have gone astray ;
From out Thy book wipe not our name away.
Save ! O save !
O God ! sustain the sheep for slaughter ; — see
These dealt with wrathfully and slain for Thee.
Save ! O save !
O God ! Thy sheep ! the sheep whom Thou didst tend
In pasture ; Thy creation and Thy friend.
Save ! O save !
O God ! the poor among the sheep ! Give heed :
Answer in time of favour to their need.
Save ! O save !
O God ! they lift their eyes to Thee, long sought :
Let those who rise against Thee count as naught.
Save ! O save !
O God ! they pour out water, worshipping —
Let them be drawing from salvation's spring.
Save ! O save !
O God ! to Zion saviours send at length,
Endowed of Thee, and saved by Thy Name's strength.
Save ! O save !
O God ! in garb of vengeance clad about,
In mighty wrath cast all deceivers out.
Save ! O save !
O God ! and Thou wilt surely not forget
Her, by love-tokens bought, that hopeth yet.
Save ! O save !
O God ! they seeking Thee with willow bough.
Regard their crying from Thine Heaven now.
Save ! 0 save !

O God ! as with a crown bless Thou the year ;
Yea, Lord, my singing, I beseech Thee, hear.
Save ! O save !
I beseech thee, O God, save ! O save, I beseech thee. Thou
art our Father.
For him who was a perfect man 'mid all,1
Who once was saved through goodness at Thy call,
Redeemed from overflowing floods of water —
Save her who standeth steadfast as a wall,
Save her, our Father.
For one unblemished in his works and ways
Though tried tenfold ; 2 who, lifting up his gaze,
Saw angel forms, and ran to give them water 3 —
Save her that shineth as the sunlight's rays,
Save her, our Father.
For that loved son 4 who asked his aged sire,
" Where is the lamb for offering made by fire ? "
For him who heard the tidings, " Here is water " 5 —
Save her that wandereth in exile dire,
Save her, our Father.
For his sake who before his brother came
To take his blessing 6 — hoping in Thy Name ;
For him whose flocks increased by troughs of water —
Save her that was a palm-tree in her fame,
Save her, our Father.
For him who meet to serve Thee Thou didst deem,
Apparelled as a bridegroom doth beseem ;
At Massah tried, at Meribah's sad water 7 —
0 save that goodly mountain of our dream,
Save her, our Father.
For him above his brethren set to shine : —
Yet we be but a fourth of Judah's line —
Whereof 'tis said " His buckets flowed with water " 8 —
So save not, Lord, for our sake, but for Thine,
Save now, our Father.
For one more meek than all men and more true,
Whose merit brought down manna on the dew,9
Chosen redeemer, drawn from out the water —
Save her that ever looketh forth anew,
Save her, our Father.

Who, meetly clad, did in Thy precincts move
In holiness, all purified with water —
Save her, O Lord, her that is sick with love,
Save her, our Father.
For that glad prophetess who danced before
The camp, to them whose heart was sad and sore,
For whom there rose and sank a well of water 2 —
Save them that dwelt in goodly tents of yore,
Save them, our Father.
For him who in the tent was fain to stay,3
On whom the spirit shone, who went his way
O'er Jordan, and Thou didst divide the water —
Save her, the beautiful and pure as day,
Save her, our Father.
For his sake who besought a sign, who cried
" Where be Thy wonders ? " and at morning-tide
Wringed dew from out the fleece, a bowl of water 4 —
Save her who was in Lebanon a bride,
Save her, our Father.
For those of old who went Thy wars to fight
Whole-hearted, in their hands Thy saving might ;
Chossn when gathering in their palms the water5 —
Save them for ever faithful in Thy sight,
Save them, our Father.
For him, that only son, who crushed the foe,
Sacred from birth, a Nazarite to grow,
For whom from out a jaw-bone gushed forth water6—
Save ! even for Thine holy Name save now !
Save us, our Father.
For his sake who in favour yet grew on 7
When through their sinfulness the throngs had gone ;
Who, turning men from sin, spake " Now draw water " 8—
Save her more fair than Zion when she shone,
Save her, our Father.
For his sake who did play and dance and sing,9
Who taught the Law with sound of pipe and string,
Who, thirsting sore, poured out to Thee the water 10 —
Save those who trust salvation Thou wilt bring,
Save them, our Father.

For his sake whom a whirlwind once did bear
To Heav'n,1 whose zeal turned back Thy wrath, whose prayer
Drew fire from Heav'n, which licked up dust and water —
Save her, O God, whose eyes are fountains fair,
Save her, our Father.
For him who served his lord in deed and thought,
On whom twofold the spirit fell ; 2 who sought
A minstrel ere the ditches filled with water 3 —
Save them that sang " Lord, who such deeds have wrought ? "
Save them, our Father.
For his sake, swift to do the word from Thee,
Who bid Thy sheep repent, and set them free
From the blasphemer, staying founts of water 4 —
Save Zion, beautiful and fair to see,
Save her, our Father.
For those who sought in exile for Thy face,
Who knew Thy secret, who to gather grace
And shun defilement, ate but pulse and water 5 —
Save them that call Thee, grieving from their place,
Save them, our Father.
For one who witnessed wisdom's light arise,
The ready scribe 6 of yore, who made us wise
With outspread truth like spaces wide of water —
0 save that once full city, when she cries
Save us, our Father.
For their sake who with all their soul this day
Have come to pour their heart out and to pray,
Begging from Thee Thy rains of mighty water —
Save them who sang to Thee upon their way,
Save them, our Father.
For their sake who have said "Thy Name be blest,"
Thine heritage, the sons of Thy behest,
Longing for Thee like land that faints for water —
Save them for whom so long Thou seekest rest,
Save them, our Father.
Reader and Cong. O God, save, yea save, we beseech thee. O
save, O forgive, 0 send prosperity ; yea save us, God of our
stronghold.

183 SERVICE FOR HOSHANA RABBA
Reader and Congregation.
O pity Jeshurun's hosts, I pray to thee ;
Forgive them, pardon their iniquity.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
As slaves, with eyes beseeching, seek their lord,
We came before Thee stricken, and implored :
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
Triumphant Lord of lords, to Thee we pray :
Strife like a whirlwind scattered us, and we
Thy sons lay crushed beneath the tyrant's sway.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
Behold ! with supplication how we throng —
O Lord of grace and mercy, — unto Thee ;
Thy wondrous deeds, our never-ceasing song.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
" Flowing with milk and honey " : this Thy land
Spare Thou from drought. O stay her tears of woe :
Bind up her torrents with Thy healing hand.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
Plant us, we pray, upon a fruitful sod ;
Send as of old defenders from the foe,1
Thou just and righteous One ! Thou faithful God !
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
Recall Thy covenant with the earth of yore,
Thy sign, that while the earth doth yet abide,
Thine anger break and rend it nevermore.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
The while for water we entreat Thee now,
Athirst as willows by the waterside,
The pouring forth of old, remember Thou !
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
These bearing boughs held upward in the way
They sprout from earth ; these burdened by their plea,
O answer, when in sudden need they pray.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
Thou Worker of deliverance, alone !
Turn to them, hear the words that mount to Thee :
God of Salvation, justify Thine own.
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
List to the surging voices of Thy throng,
Open the earth, let help spring forth, O Thou
Delighting not in evil ; Saviour strong !
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !
Open for us the gates of heav'n, we crave :
Open for us Thy goodly treasure now :
Ah ! strife prolong not endlessly, but save !
O God of our salvation, save Thou us !

Reader and Congregation :
A voice heralds, heralds and saith:
O hark to the herald of sure salvation, I hear my Beloved,
his voice is nigh,
He comes with his myriads of hovering angels, on the
Mount of Olives to stand and cry.
The herald comes — be the trumpet sounded, beneath his
tread be the mountain cleft.
He knocks — at his radiant glance the hill-side shall half
from the eastward be rent and reft.
Fulfilled is his ancient prophetic saying, the herald is come
with his saints around ;
By all upon earth shall a still small voice to the uttermost
islands be heard resound.
The seed he begot and the seed he reared hath been born
as a child from its mother's womb.
But who then hath travailed and who brought forth, and
a similar thing hath been told to whom ?
The perfectly Pure hath achieved this marvel, what mortal
hath seen such a wondrous way ?
Salvation, Redemption in one united, the earth bringing
forth in a single day !
Though He in the heights and the depths be potent, yet
how can a nation at once be born ?
The radiant One shall redeem His people, and then at the
evening it shall be morn !

And up to Mount Zion shall march her saviours, for Zion
hath travailed and bringeth forth,
A voice is proclaiming in all her borders, thy tent-place
enlarge both to south and north,
Thy dwelling extend unto far Damascus, thy sons and thy
daughters again to take,
Exult and be joyful, O rose of Sharon, beholding the sleepers
of Hebron wake.
Return unto me and be saved, O Israel, if only to-day ye
would hear my voice !
A man hath sprung forth, and the Branch his name is —
yea David himself, 'tis King David, rejoice !
Up, up ! in the dust lie no longer buried ! ye dwellers in
ashes awake and sing !
The desolate city shall rise imperial to hail as aforetime her
ransomed King.
The name of the wicked shall God extinguish — He grants
His anointed celestial grace.
Then make of our seed an eternal people, preserving for
ever King David's race.

186 SERVICE FOR HOSHANA RABBA
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance : feed them
also, and lift them up for ever. And let these my words,
wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be
nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he main-
tain the cause of his servant and the cause of this people
Israel at all times as the matter shall require : that
all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God,
and that there is none else.
For silent prayer :
May it be thy will, O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
who choosest good prophets and their good teachings, to
receive in mercy and favour our prayer and our circling
of thy House. Remember unto us the merit of thy perfect
servants and remove the iniquities which divide us from
thee. Give ear to our cry and make it well with us at our
latter end for the sake of thy covenant which thou didst
make with our ancestors. Do thou seal us in the book of
happy life. We beseech thee, supreme King of kings, great,
mighty and tremendous God, that it be in thy grace to
comfort us and to purify us of all our transgressions and
sins. O look down upon us from thy dwelling-place, even
from Heaven, and from there pour forth forgiveness upon
thy servant who now prostrates himself before thee, so
that thou prolong his days and pardon his sins, his iniquities
and transgressions. Stretch out thy right hand to receive
him in perfect repentance, and open thy good treasure to
satisfy the thirsting soul, even as it is written : The Lord
shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven, to give
the rain unto thy land in his season and to bless all the
work of thine hand. Amen.
The Service is continued with Kaddish, There is none like unto our
God, It behoveth us, and the Mourner's Kaddish {pages 148-15 1).

READING OF THE LAW FOR THE REJOICING
OF THE LAW.
The following verses are said by the Reader and repeated by the
Congregation :
Unto thee it was shown that thou mightest know that
the Lord he is God : 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 Lord ; neither are there any works
like unto thy works. 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.
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
will reign for ever and ever.
The Lord will give strength unto his people ; the Lord
will bless his people with peace. And may our words be
acceptable, we pray, before the Lord of all.
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.
Arise, O Lord, unto thy resting-place ; thou, and the ark
of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteous-
ness ; and let thy pious ones shout for joy. For the
sake of David thy servant, turn not away the face of thine
anointed. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our
God : we have waited for him, and he will save us : this
is the Lord ; we have waited for him : we will be glad and
rejoice in his salvation. Thy kingdom is an everlasting
Kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all
generations.

i8g READING OF THE LAW— NINTH DAY
Reader and Cong. Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God, the
Lord is One.
Reader and Cong. One is our God ; great is our Lord :
holy and terrible is his Name.
Reader- Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his
Name together.
Cong. 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. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship
at his footstool : holy is he. Exalt ye the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy mount ; for the Lord our God is
holy.
Magnified and sanctified, praised and glorified, exalted
and extolled above all be the Name of the Supreme King
of kings, the Holy One, blessed be he, in the worlds he hath
created, this world and the world to come, in accordance
with his will and the will of them that fear him, and of all
the house of Israel. He is the everlasting Rock, the Lord
of all creatures, the God of all souls : who dwelleth in the
wide extended heights, who inhabiteth the heaven of
heavens of old : whose holiness is above the Chayoth and
above the throne of glory. Therefore thy Name, O Lord our
God, shall be hallowed among us in the sight of all living.
And we will sing a new song before him, as it is written,
Sing unto God, sing praises unto his Name ; extol him that
rideth upon the heavens, whose Name is J ah, and rejoice
before him. And may we see him eye to eye, when he
returneth to his habitation, as it is written : For they shall
see eye to eye, when the Lord returneth unto Zion. And it
is said : And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and
all flesh shall see it together ; for the mouth of the Lord
hath spoken it.
Reader. May the Father of compassion have mercy upon
a people that have been borne aloft by him. May he
remember the covenant with the patriarchs ; may he
deliver our souls from evil hours, curb the evil inclination
in them that have been carried by him, and graciously
grant us an everlasting deliverance, and fulfil our desires in
the measure of his goodness, salvation and mercy.

igo READING OF THE LAW— NINTH DAY
The first Scroll being placed upon the reading-desk, the Reader says :
And may he help, shield and save all who trust in him ;
and let us say, Amen. Ascribe ye all greatness unto our
God, and render honour to the Law. Stand forth —
The Reader here names the person who is first called to the reading
of the Law.
Blessed be he, who in his holiness hath given the Law
unto his people Israel. 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 Lord will give strength
unto his people ; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
As for God, his way is perfect : the word of the Lord is
tried ; he is a shield unto all that trust in him.
Cong, and Reader. And ye that cleave unto the Lord
your God are alive every one of you this day.
Deuteronomy xxxiii.-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
unto them ; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he
came from the ten thousands of holy ones : at his right
hand was a fiery law unto them. Yea, 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 him ; and be thou an help against his
adversaries.
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are
with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, with
whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah ; who
said of his father and of his mother, I have not seen him ;
neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own
children : for they have observed thy word, and shall keep
thy covenant. They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and
Israel thy law : they shall put incense before thee, and

whole burnt offering upon thine altar. Bless, Lord, his sub-
stance, and accept the work of his hands : smite through the
loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him,
that they rise not again. And of Benjamin he said, The beloved
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
things of the lasting hills : and for the precious things of the
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 re-
served : 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.
The Reader chants the following passage when the Hathan Torah is
called to the reading of the Law :
With the permission of the great, mighty and awful God,
I will open my mouth in song and hymn to praise and to
give thanks to him that dwelleth amid light, for that he
hath kept us alive and preserved us in his pure fear and

192 READING OF THE LAW— NINTH DAY
hath brought us near to rejoice in the Rejoicing of the Law
that gladdeneth the heart and enlighteneth the eyes, pro-
longed days and addeth strength to them that love her
and guard her in precept and prohibition. And now may
it be acceptable before the Omnipotent to grant life and
grace, and a crown of virtue to , who hath been
chosen to complete the reading of the Law. Stand forth,
stand forth, stand forth, bridegroom of the Law,
and by merit of this deed mayest thou be deemed worthy
by the All-feared to behold children and children's children
studying in the Law.
The eternal God is thy dwelling place, and underneath
are the everlasting arms : and he thrust out the enemy
from before thee ; and said, Destroy. And Israel shall
dwell in safety alone : the fountain of Jacob upon a land
of corn and wine ; yea, his heavens shall drop down dew.
Happy art thou, O Israel ; who is like unto thee, a people
saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and that is the
sword of thy excellency : and thine enemies shall submit
themselves unto thee ; and thou shalt tread upon their high
places. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto
the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over
against Jericho : and the Lord shewed him all the land of
Gilead, unto Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim,
and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the hinder-
most sea. And the south, and the plain of the valley of
Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. And the Lord
said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto
thy seed : I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but
thou shalt not go over thither. So Moses the servant of
the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the
word of the Lord. And he buried him in a valley in the
land of Moab, over against Beth-peor : but no man knoweth
of his sepulchre unto this day. And Moses was an hundred
and twenty years old when he died : his eye was not dim,
nor his natural force abated. And the children of Israel
wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days : so the

193 READING OF THE LAW— NINTH DAY
days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom ;
for Moses had laid his hands upon him : and the children
of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord com-
manded Moses. And there arose not a prophet since in
Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
in all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him
to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants,
and to all his land, and in all that mighty hand, and in
all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all
Israel.
The first Scroll is then held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law which Moses set before the children
of Israel, according to the command of the Lord by the
hand 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 its right hand ; in its left hand are riches and
honour. It pleased the Lord for the sake of his righteousness
to magnify the Law and to make it honourable.
The Reader chants the following passage when the Hathan Bereshith
is called to the Reading of the Law.
By permission of him that is exalted above all blessing
and praise, terrible above all psalmody and adoration, wise
in heart, mighty in strength and dominion, Ruler of the
world and Lord of Creation, and with permission of the
righteous band of the blessed congregation gathered here
this day for the rejoicing of the Law and assembled to
finish and again begin its recital in joy and reverence —
stand forth, stand forth, stand forth bridegroom
of the Beginning. Forasmuch as thou art chosen to be the
first to perform so perfect a command, how great is thy
good-fortune, how excellent shall be thy reward !

The following section is then read from the second Scroll :
Genesis i.-ii. 3.
In 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 light. 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 his kind,
and the tree yielding fruit, whose 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 light 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 dark-
ness : 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, Let
us make man in 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 it : 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 the which is the
fruit of a tree yielding seed : to you it shall be for meat.

there is life, I have given every green herb for meat : and
it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made ;
and, behold, it was very good : and there was evening and
there was morning, the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host of them. And on the seventh day God had ended
his work which he had made ; and he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had made. And God
blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because that in
it he had rested from all his work which God created and
made.
The three Scrolls being placed upon the Desk, the Reader says :
Magnified and sanctified be his great Name in the world
which he hath created according to his will. May he estab-
lish 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.
Cong. Let his great Name be blessed for ever and ever.
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 Second Scroll is held up and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law.
The following section is then read from the third Scroll :
Numbers xxix. 35-xxx. 1.
On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly : ye
shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer a burnt
offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the

197 READING OF THE LAW— NINTH DAY
Lord : one bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs of the first
year without blemish : their meal-offering and their drink-
offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs,
shall be according to their number, after the ordinance : and
one goat for a sin-offering ; beside the continual burnt offer-
ing and the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering
thereof. These ye shall offer unto the Lord in your appointed
seasons : beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for
your burnt offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for
your drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings. And
Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the
Lord commanded Moses.
The third Scroll is held up, and the Congregation say :
And this is the Law.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
who hast chosen good prophets, and hast found pleasure in
their words, which were spoken in truth. Blessed art thou,
O Lord, who hast chosen the Law, and Moses thy servant,
and prophets of truth and righteousness.
Joshua i.
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it
came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of
Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead ;
now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this
people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to
the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your
foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said
unto Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even
unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of
the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down
of the sun, shall be your coast. There shall not any man
be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life :
as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee ; I will not
fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good

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 written 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 Joshua 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, your
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.

Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe,
Rock of all worlds, righteous throughout all generations,
O faithful God, who sayest and doest, who speakest and
fulfillest, whose words are all truth and righteousness.
Faithful art thou, O Lord our God, and faithful are thy
words, and not one of thy words shall return void ; for thou
art a faithful and merciful God and King. Blessed art thou,
O Lord God, who art faithful in all thy words.
Have mercy upon Zion, for it is the home of our life, and
save her that is grieved in spirit speedily, in our days.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who causest Zion to rejoice in
her children.
Make us to rejoice, O Lord our God, in Elijah the prophet,
thy servant, and in the kingdom of the house of David,
thine anointed. Soon may he come and gladden our hearts.
Suffer not a stranger to sit upon his throne, nor let others
any longer inherit his glory ; for by thy holy Name thou
didst swear unto him, that his lamp should not be quenched
for ever. Blessed art thou, O Lord, the Shield of David.
For the Law and for the Service and for the prophets,
and for this Day of the Feast of the Eighth Day of
Solemn Assembly, which thou, O Lord our God, hast given
us for joy and gladness, for honour and for glory ; for all
these, O Lord our God, we thank and bless thee. Blessed be
thy Name by the mouth of every living being continually
and for evermore. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who sancti-
fiest Israel and the appointed seasons.
He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto
princes, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, who
delivered his servant David from the hurtful sword, who
maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters :
may he bless, guard, protect and help, exalt, magnify and

highly aggrandize our Sovereign Lord, King Edward, our
Gracious Queen Alexandra, George, Prince of Wales,
the Princess of Wales, and all the Royal Family.
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy preserve
the king in life, guard him and deliver him from all trouble,
sorrow and hurt. May he make his enemies fall before
him ; and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper.
May the supreme King of kings in his mercy put a spirit
of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the
hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the
peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and
deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in
ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely ; and
may the redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be
his will ; let us say, Amen.
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. All 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.
The three Scrolls are taken and the Reader chants :
1 Blessed be he who made the children great for their
fathers' sake, and through their merit gave the Law. In the
eddies of a whirlwind the Lord appeared, amid the mes-
sengers of the heavenly host, amid thousands of angels.
Exalted in his might above the proud, God in his glory
called unto Moses to receive the tables. The earth heard
the words of the living God, and her pillars trembled.
He bowed the heavens and came down ; he rode upon a
cherub and did fly upon the wings of the wind. Then words
came forth from the midst of the fire and engraved them-
selves upon the tables of stone. All the children of God
sang hymns : they blew the cornet in the high heavens. All
the children of Esau were clothed with fear ; for from Seir
had the Lord risen up. The sons of Ishmael, all of them,
smote their hands ; for from Paran did the Lord shine
forth. Go, Moses, and rejoice in thy greatness ; for there

is none like unto thee amongst all the prophets. Who
ascended heavenwards into the midst of the cloud, and who
beheld the glory of our God ? Moses ascended into the
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. Ha held back the sea by his prayer,
and by his messenger turned fierce wrath aside. The Lord
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 ? At the command of
the Lord died Moses, our teacher.
This Feast of the Law all your gladness display,
To-day all your homages render.
What profit can lead one so pleasant a way,
What jewels can vie with its splendour ?
Then exult in the Law on its festival d:ty,
The Law is our Light and Defender.
My God I will praise in a jubilant lay,
My hope in Him never surrender,
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,
The Law is our Light and Defender.

Happy are ye, O Israel. Happy are ye, O Israel. Happy
are ye, Israel, whom God hath chosen and to whom out
of the wilderness he gave the gift of his Law.
The Angels came a-mustering,
A-mustering, a-mustering,
The Angels came a-clustering
Around the sapphire throne.
A-questioning of one another,
Of one another, of one another,
A-questioning each one his brother
Around the sapphire throne.
Pray who is he, and where is he,
And where is he, and where is he,
Whose shining casts — so fair is he —
A shadow on the throne ?
Pray, who has up to heaven come,
To heaven come, to heaven come,
Through all the circles seven come,
To fetch the Torah down ?
'Tis Moses up to heaven come,
To heaven come, to heaven come,
Through all the circles seven come,
To fetch the Torah down !
I will rejoice and exult on the Rejoicing of the Law.
The Branch of David shall surely come on the Rejoicing
of the Law.
The Law is a tree of life : it is life to all ; for with thee
is the fountain of life.
The Service is continued with Let them praise, page 129.

HYMNS FOR THE FIRST EVENING.
Reader. Bless ye the Lord, who is blessed.
Cong, and Reader. Blessed be the Lord, who is blessed for ever
and evermore.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, 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.
Taking in their hands the four ordained plants, thy
people gather to extol thee amid harp and stringed instru-
ments ; with threads of pure gold they bind and prepare
the palm-branch. O make their bannered hosts as the
stars of the vault for multitude.
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 he 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.

205 HYMNS FOR THE FIRST EVENING
Meditating upon their ancient-consecrated Law, they
enter and abide seven days in the tabernacle. Grant that
they find merit, and shield them from sorrow's thorns,
never removing from them aught of thy wonted love.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who lovest thy people Israel.
Continue with Hear, O Israel (page n) till sang a song unto thee
(page 13).
May they who bear the fresh-grown plants win fulness
of joys on the Feast of Tabernacles. Shelter them with
the shadow of thy right hand for thy true servant's * sake
who brake the graven images. They make supplication
with heart of flesh ; do thou lead them as the only son 2
whose redemption was heralded in the wooded thicket.
Let the tabernacle be a protecting shelter to them for the
sake of the simple patriarch 3, who peeled him rods and
who encamped in Succoth. Hide thy remnant with thine
encompassing shade and crown them with the diadem of
salvation, guarding them from the clash of battle. O holy
One, let thy covenant prevail and banish the defiling spirit
of avowed and covert sin. Break thou the arm of wickedness,
and send salvation to the right with fortitude and reliance.
Be gracious to them who keep the Feast seven days, who
grasp the four ordained plants ; O bend unto their cry.
God, my salvation, incline unto the cry of thy people ;
feed them and delight them with thy good judgment.
Exalted, when thou didst humble the proud foe in thine
indignation, thy children attuned hymns of glory to thy
praise.
With gladness and song and great joy they all said : 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.
Through all eight days they recite the full Hallel and
read from the Scroll the appointed offerings for each day.
1 Abraham. 2 Isaac. 8 Jacob.

206 HYMNS FOR THE FIRST EVENING
Plant them to dwell in their goodly land, and be thou forever
acknowledged the Rock of their salvation.
This is the Rock of our salvation, they exclaimed of old, 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.
Amid the beauty of holiness chant ye praises in his
temple, framing new strains of song and thanksgiving.
And do thou mete out peace unto us in overflowing measure,
O King of Israel, his Rock and holy One.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, King and Rock of Israel and his
Redeemer.
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 save us for the sake of thy
Name. Be thou a shield about us ; remove from us every enemy,
pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow ; remove also the adversary
from before us and from behind us. Shelter us beneath the shadow
of thy wings. For thou, O God, art our Guardian and our De-
liverer ; yea, thou, O God, art a gracious and merciful King. Guard
our going out and our coming in, unto life and peace from this time
forth and for evermore ; and spread over us the canopy of thy
peace.
Omnipotent set anew the foundations of thy porch ;
strengthen thy beloved sons, framed in thine image, that
they may bless and hallow thy Name in thy world ; yea
shield them with the covenant of thy peace.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who spreadest the canopy of peace over
us, and over all thy people Israel, and over Jerusalem.
Continue with And Moses declared, page 14.
HYMNS FOR THE FIRST DAY.
For the Service until createst all things, see pages 24-81.
Yea, eternal light in the treasury of life ; for he spake, and out
of darkness there was light.
With a crown of praise I will encircle him who is tremendous
in deeds amid his people that ascendeth on high. I will
raise the soaring wing of song in a glorious tribute of praise

207 HYMNS FOR THE FIRST DAY
toward the high and exalted King. I have gathered these four
plants together, in number like Israel's fourfold camp, to worship
him that appeared enthroned above four-visaged beings.
Reader. I will exult in psalm and song in my assembled
congregation as I take palm-branch and cluster before thee, O
holy One.
Cong. Seek out righteousness in thy sons ; judge them in
charity, and bring forth their suit to the light of acquittal. I
will utter praise in their midst, and may the words that intercede
for me be accepted, that I issue forth as gold from the furnace.
Let sin that croucheth at the door be put to shame, and trans-
gression be cast into the waves. I have called thee ; let me
not be ashamed. The abiding memory of thy divine canopy x
hath enjoined upon us the shade and walls of the tabernacle ;
it teacheth us to shelter seven days beneath its covert according
to the ancient- consecrated ordinance. I will call to mind the
tabernacle of thy clouds and to all generations I will tell of
thy goodness, thou who rememberest the mercies of David. O
raise up his tabernacle, establish his kingdom and increase his
strength as in days of old. May sovereignty endure eternally
with David and his seed for ever. As thou rulest for all genera-
tions, so may his rule be everlasting. And over us reign, thou
who* . reignest and causest kings to reign. Speedily let his
branch blossom forth upon this nation that crieth to thee to
forgive its transgression. Grant us to behold thy might when
thou returnest into thy garden ; 2 yea, eye to eye let us behold
thee then. Spread thy canopy over us, that with its shade it
may shield thy chosen ones from the scorching fire of guilt.
Lo, they take the gifts of four trees and bring them to thy four
square porch,3 O thou who art mindful of the oath-bound
covenant. The fruit of the comely Hadar-tree I will take
unto him that is resplendent in might, whose vesture is majesty
and beauty. The palm-branch I will raise in homage to him
unto whom all saith glory. My gift of the myrtle's leaves I
will fasten with bands for him that looketh to the bond of the
fathers. I offer the green shoots of the willow, abundant as
Israel's luxuriant buds, unto him that is chiefest among ten
thousand. By these shall his suppliants, planted in his courts,
be redeemed from sorrow, even as by the call of memory-stirring
trumpets.4
Reader. They are meet atonement-gifts for her that is way-
ward as an heifer, that she go not downcast out of thy presence,
O holy One.

208 HYMNS FOR THE FIRST DAY
Continue with Thou givest light, page 83 (on Sabbath with All shall
give thanks, page 81) until earth is full of his glory, page 84.
Thy praise, O Lord, will I proclaim
In hymns unto Thy glorious name.
O Thou Redeemer, Lord and King,
Redemption to Thy faithful bring !
Before thine altar they rejoice
With branch of palm, and myrtle-stem,
To Thee they raise the prayerful voice-
Have mercy, save and prosper them.
May'st Thou in mercy manifold,
Dear unto Thee Thy people hold,
When at Thy gate they bend the knee,
And worship and acknowledge Thee.
Do Thou their hearts' desire fulfil,
Rejoice with them in love this day,
Forgive their sins, and thoughts of ill,
And their transgressions cast away.
They overflow with prayer and praise
To Him, who knows the future days.
Have mercy Thou, and hear the prayer
Of those who palms and myrtles bear.
Thee day and night they sanctify
And in perpetual song adore,
Like to the heavenly host, they cry
" Blessed art Thou for evermore."
The Chayoth sing : the Cherubim glorify : the Seraphim exult,
and the Arelim bless. The face of eveiy Chayah, Ophan and
Cherub is set toward the Seraphim, and thus confronting each the
other, they utter praise and say, Blessed be the glory of the Lord
from his place.
Continue with To the blessed God, page S4, until Israel thy servants,
page 87.
For the first and for the last ages to all eternity they are a statute
that shall not pass away. It is true that thou art the Lord our
God and God of our fathers for ever and evermore. Thou art our
King ; thou art our fathers' King. For thy Name's sake hasten
to redeem us, even as thou didst redeem our fathers. It is true
that from of old thou hast in love called us by thy great Name.
There is no God beside thee.

2og HYMNS FOR THE FIRST DAY
O save now, we beseech Thee
Thy sons — " the dust of Jacob who hath told ? "
And prosper, O Redeemer,
Thy suppliants, that seek Thee as of old.
Raise up the booth of David
The fallen, nevermore to be o'erthrown ;
Heed Thou Thy throng assembled,
And with Thy shadow, tent -like, guard Thine own.
Let joy spring forth and blossom :
Atonement grant them for the wrong they wrought :
Set Thou an end to sighing ;
For Thy sake speed deliverance, long sought.
Fulfil their heart's petition
Whose full hearts cry to Thee, imploring grace.
Their cause be Thou upholding ;
Now in their midst shall be Thy dwelling-place.
Turn, turn, to give them glory ;
Send forth the message ; help ! Thou Rock of old !
Upraise their house of splendour ;
The sudden dawn of hope let them behold.
Speedily build up Salem ;
Thus to Thy perfect ones fulfil Thy word.
The rebel smite, as smitten
Were Egypt's first-born, with afflicting sword.
Like the Red Sea, so rend them ;
And when we call Thee, Thou wilt answer, Lord !
Continue with Thou hast been the help until the end of the Amidah
{pages 87-94).
Reader. Blessed art thou, O Lord our God and God of our
fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob, 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.
From the counsel of the wise and understanding, and from know-
ledge gotten of the discerning, I will open my lips in song and
hymns to give thanks and to praise the Presence of him that dwelleth
in the heights.

212 HYMNS FOR THE FIRST DAY
O God, forever shalt thou be revered and forever hallowed, and
to all Eternity shalt thou reign and be magnified. Thou art God
and King, terrible, exalted and holy ; yea thou art supreme King
of kings and thy sovereignty is everlasting. Speak ye of his won-
drous deeds and declare his might. Laud him, ye his hosts, sanctify
him, extol him with strains of song and psalmody, with mighty
praises of his glory.
And thus his dwelling place abode in Salem.
Of yore, abode His dwelling place,
With mighty soaring angels,
With peaceful ones that praise,
With chariots twice ten thousand,
With saints of olden days.
His dwelling rested o'er the sapphire space.
In Salem then, He set His dwelling place,
With earth-born servants lowly,
Though veiled, His glory shone,
And sacred rites did hallow
His shrine, the chosen one.
Yea, even he-re His dwelling.
Of yore, abode His dwelling place,
With hosts that flash and sparkle,
With heralds from the Height,
Beings that burn as lightning,
Winged Cherubim in flight.
His dwelling rested o'er the sapphire space.
In Salem then, He set His dwelling place.
Within the well-loved forest,
The fortress, pure and strong,
Beneath the joyous shelter,
The home they crowned with song.
Yea, even here His dwelling.
Of yore, abode His dwelling place,
Where holy throngs assembled
With thundrous praise acclaim ;
With voice, the small and silent,
Where circling spirits flame.
His dwelling rested o'er the sapphire space.
In Salem then, He set His dwelling place,
With them of earth He fashioned.
Within the house He sought,
His tent desired for ever,
His palace, nobly wrought.
Yea, even here His dwelling.

HYMNS FOR THE SECOND EVENING.
Header. Bless ye the Lord, who is blessed.
Cong, and Reader. Blessed be the Lord, who is blessed for ever
and evermore.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, 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.
Thy people, cherished and favoured of thee, rejoice in
their feasts. They shelter in the tabernacle's shade seven
days, delighting themselves therein with goodly fare ; yea
thy beloved fulfil its precepts night and day.
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.
With song and praise and great gladness they rejoice
all seven days according to the written Law. In recital
they again offer up their free-will offerings, their peace-
offerings and their bulls. May these their sacrifices and
oblations be accepted of them in love.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who lovest thy people Israel.

216 HYMNS FOR THE SECOND EVENING
1 Honour and glorify the Lord by his precepts. Abide
ye now in booths even as ye dwell in your houses
on the feast of tabernacles.
On the first day take unto you the four ordained plants,
to win grace of cloud-borne rains
on the feast of tabernacles.
The second day beheld of old the outpouring of the
libation of water — shadowed in holy Writ 2 — when deep
calleth unto deep, on the feast of tabernacles.
The pilgrims marched with strains of song a day's journey
about the city on every side, to crown with fruits the
markets of Jerusalem on the feast of tabernacles.
Up into Zion the hosts went, chanting on their way, on
the feast of ingathering at the year's end,
on the feast of tabernacles.
There they kept holiday amid great joy, the joy of the
drawing of water, on the feast of tabernacles.
With instruments of music and with the flute they
wafted hymns and melody aloft
on the feast of tabernacles.
They exulted together and sang in unison ; and among
them were the buds of the priesthood —
on the feast of tabernacles.
Who leapt and frolicked as they bore in their hands
vessels of oil holding thirty measures
on the feast of tabernacles.
They that knew the Law and the wise of the assembly
shewed the people the ritual bend of prostration
on the feast of tabernacles.
Priests and Levites clashed the cymbals and chanted
praises, while the pious and notable danced
on the feast of tabernacles.
In the Temple-court great preparation was made that
men and women might there be separate
on the feast of tabernacles.
Great was the rejoicing ; loud the echo of the cymbals.
How beautiful were thy feet in sandals
on the feast of tabernacles !

217 HYMNS FOR THE SECOND EVENING
And even as they took the palm-branch seven days in
adoring worship, so did Israel afterward in all their borders
in memory of the Temple on the feast of tabernacles.
Make ye booths in all your habitations, that your genera-
tions may learn of the past on the feast of tabernacles.
Thy cherished people dwell seven days beneath the
verdure of boughs, a token of the seven miraculous clouds,1
on the feast of tabernacles.
The tabernacle shall cool the scorching blaze of noon ;
yea it shall be a shade to you from the heat by day
on the feast of tabernacles.
Its covert shall shield and protect you from the flame of
guilt. Therefore let all that are Israelites born dwell in
booths on the feast of tabernacles.
The rebellious shall break their bonds of error and turn
to thy fear. And thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy house-
hold, on the feast of tabernacles.
Lo, the princes have taken counsel together in the abund-
ance of their sighing. But all Israel shall exult in praise
and rejoicing on the feast of tabernacles.
They glorify thine honoured Name seven days with palm-
branch and with fruit of the Hadar-tree
on the feast of tabernacles.
They utter praises to thee and recite the full Hallel
on the feast of tabernacles.
The excellence of thy mercy we will utter every morning
in song, and declare thy faithfulness in the nights, O thou
who art hidden from every eye. All-fearful and almighty
Being, we will glorify thy Name for ever.
With gladness and song and great joy they all said : Who is like
unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty ones ? Who is like unto
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders ?

218 HYMNS FOR THE SECOND EVENING
Thy children beheld thy sovereign power as thou didst cleave the
sea before Moses.
With the beauteous veil of thy clouds thou didst cover
the redeemed. Thou didst spread the protecting canopy
of thy glory over them. When they passed through the
waves, they acclaimed thy Unity and glorified thee, yea
then did the sons of the mighty sing praises to thy Name.
This is the Rock of our salvation, they exclaimed of old, 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.
Build up and raise again thy fallen tabernacle. Set
her foundations and build her upon her mound. Restore
her inheritance, and feed thy flock upon thy dwelling-place,
and as of yore delight in sacrifices and offerings of
righteousness.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, King and Rock of Israel and his
Redeemer.
Cause us, O Lord our God, to lie down in peace, and raise us up.
O our King, unto life, and spead over us the canopy of thy peace ;
direct us with thy counsel, and save us for the sake of thy Name,
Be thou a shield about us ; remove from us every enemy, pestilence,
sword, famine and sorrow ; remove also the adversary from before
us and from behind us. Shelter us beneath the shadow of thy
wings. For thou, O God, art our Guardian and our Deliverer ;
yea, thou, O God, art a gracious and merciful King. Guard our
going out and our coming in, unto life and peace from this time
forth and for evermore ; and spread over us the canopy of thy
peace.
He who calls an holy convocation and observes it shall
on the day that cometh receive his reward from Heaven
in full measure beneath the celestial tabernacle.1
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who spreadest the canopy of peace over
us, and over all thy people Israel, and over Jerusalem.

HYMNS FOR THE SECOND DAY
For the Service until createst all things, see pages 24-81.
Yea, eternal light in the treasury of life ; for he spake, and out
of darkness there was light.
I will ascribe might unto the All-feared, and as I watch
at his doors, may I find redemption on the fifteenth day.
Taking the palm-branch and the three appointed plants,
I will praise him therewithal that is my light and salvation
on the seventh month.
With majesty will I clothe him that dwelleth in the
heights, lauding him with my gift of perfect and unblemished
branches. Ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days.
Reader. With mouth and tongue I will extol him that
hearkeneth to the voice of supplication ; as it is said :
And ye shall take these unto you on the first day.
Holy is he.
Cong. Pre-eminent, mightier than the thunder of waters,
I will invest him with majesty and beauty —
with the fruit of the Hadar-tree.
Exalted is he in the assembly of his cherished people,
who crown him with adoration and glory —
with branches of the palm-tree.
May he rain abundance of blessings from the windows of
heaven upon a nation that praiseth him from heart and
reins — and with branches of a thick-leaved tree.
May good deeds prevail in the scale, and iniquity be
forgiven : so that the scorching flame of guilt smite not
those who bear the willows of the brook.
Exceeding joy shall ye find in your assembly, if ye stand
firm in this ordinance of the Law of your King.
And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
He that causeth day to follow night shall banish your
care : he will cut down and silence the pride of your
oppressors, that ye suffer no harm when ye keep the feast
seven days.
May God incline to my intercession and give ear to my
meditations ; may he accept as sacrifice the utterance of
my thoughts. And ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord.
May he renew the Lily's x strength, that keepeth the
feast and calleth solemn assembly and abideth in the
tabernacle with joy seven days in the year.
When he shall remove the burden from your shoulders,

220 HYMNS FOR THE SECOND DAY
ye shall exult and keep the feast in the city of your solemn
season. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
In awe ye shall praise him that glanceth from the lattices
of heaven, attuning melody and holding not silence.
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days
Ye princes of the peoples who prepare ordered gifts of
prayer, be ye forever sheltered beneath his wing.
All that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths.
Exalt with praises him that dwelleth among you ; may
ye abide in tranquillity all your days —
so that your generations may know.
The Most-high made his marvels known by the hand
of the redeemer.1 With clouds he deigned to shield the
people borne aloft by him, and spake :
/ made the children of Israel to dwell in booths.
I have visited my people, taking compassion upon their
remnant. I brought forth their cause as the light and as
the noon-day, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Your outpoured cry hath reached mine ears, and I have
sent redemption to all my hosts.
And Moses declared the feasts of the Lord.
He who calleth forth generations, who is the life of worlds,
commanded the nation that maketh music to his Name —
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days.
From thy dwelling-place, exalted One, guard thy congre-
gations ; pity and save all these thine assemblies.
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou and thy son and thy
daughter.
The destroyer shall not again overwhelm thee : and to
give hope to thy pining exiles,
seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God.
Lo, a mighty host cometh to the city of encampment, to
appear in supplication before the Lord
three times in the car.
They long for his salvation ; they thirst to behold his
glory, to give tribute of his own to him in whose hand is
everything. Every man shall give as he is able.
May they who bear the green plants be guarded from
temptation and corrupting sin : may they live to hear the
good tidings : Therefore shall those days come.
The Service from here until the end of the silent Amidah is the same
as on the First Day.
1 Moses.

HYMNS FOR THE EIGHTH EVENING.
Reader. Bless ye the Lord, who is blessed.
Cong, and Reader. Blessed be the Lord, who is blessed for ever
and evermore.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, 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.
I will crown thee with glory and praise on the eve of this
Eighth Day of Assembly. I will speak of thy mighty
deeds among the multitude of my people, O Beloved, who
causest the day to pass and bringest on the night.
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
chem we will meditate day and night. And mayest thou never
take thy love away from us
Remember us, to crown us with a year of thy bounties,
and let us nourish from the abundance of thine abode.
Remember unto them that seek thee, that dwell in thine
house, the kindness of youth and the perfection of thy love.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who lovest thy people Israel.

236 HYMNS FOR THE EIGHTH EVENING
On the eighth day they come who seek after the excellence
of thy Unity, to prostrate themselves before the abundance
of thy lovingkindness. May their help speed from the
Sanctuary through the merit of thy saints and by aid of
thy witnesses who sang of old by the sea.
With gladness and song and great joy they all said : 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.
Taking upon them the yoke of the supreme God of truth,
they have dwelt for seven days faithfully in the tabernacle.
And even as they have given a portion to these seven days
and unto this eighth, mayest thou our Saviour speed the
coming of the seven shepherds and eight anointed.1
This is the Rock of our salvation, they exclaimed of old, 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.
They go from strength to strength. They have left the
tabernacle, and assemble to rejoice on the eighth day.
The hope of their lot they rest upon thee, and proclaim the
sovereignty of Israel's Help and Redeemer.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, King and Rock of Israel and his
Redeemer.
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 save us for the sake of thy Name.
Be thou a shield about us ; remove from us every enemy, pestilence,
sword, famine and sorrow ; remove also the adversary from before
us and from behind us. Shelter us beneath the shadow of thy
wings. For thou, O God, art our Guardian and our Deliverer ;
yea, thou, O God, art a gracious and merciful King. Guard our
going out and our coming in, unto life and peace from this time
forth and for evermore ; and spread over us the canopy of thy
peace.
They turn from the tabernacle to dwell in their homes.
O hearken to their whispered suit. They read of thine
exalted attributes and think on thy Name. Do thou, who
dwellest amid praises, spread over them the canopy of thy
peace.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who spreadestthe canopy of peace over
us, and over all thy people Israel, and over Jerusalem.

HYMNS FOR THE EIGHTH DAY.
For the Service until createst all things, see pages 24-81.
Yea, eternal light in the treasury of life ; for he spake, and out
of darkness there was light.
Preserve from drought the nation whom thou guardest as the
apple of thine eye on this Eighth Day of Assembly. She cometh
with supplication before thee to entreat thy Presence. Look down
and open thine eyes upon her. Reveal thy dawn unto her ; have
pity upon thy people and suffer them to attain the joy that is of
thee.
On this eighth day ordain rejoicing for me and listen, I pray
thee, to my prayer, O holy One.
At the ending of thy festival thy people seek in their assembly
for thy free-given rains. O regard and sustain them. Look down
upon them from the heights, and as thou rememberest the covenant
with the three patriarchs, let compassion fill thee for their offspring.
And though they have perverted their path in sin, have mercy
still, and pass by their transgression, and let salvation spring forth
for them. With all their heart they cry unto thee. O thou who
healest the broken-hearted, establish the place where rest thine eyes
and heart.1 Say that thou wilt forgive their sin, and annul not
the covenant, for the sake of the consoling words of thy Law. All-
bountiful dweller in the heights, speed the end that shall bring
comfort, and awaken them that sleep in earth. Lord, who
inhabitest the chambers of the skies, mighty in works, bring back
our exiled bands even now. Let all thine enemies perish, and all
that love thee gather abiding joy in the kingdom of Messiah, the
son of David. Higher and higher do thou raise thy wasted sanctuary,
and let eternal silence overwhelm its enemies. Thy people praise
thee on their feast ; O regard their assembled throng and hear the
voice of their cry. Before thee they stand in supplication, watching
at thy portals and proclaiming thy Unity with fervent hearts.
May their meditation be pleasant before thee, and do thou guard
them from the day of battle and from terror, that it draw not
nigh. Crown them with wealth of blessings, with length of days
and eternal life. Open thy treasure unto them, and fulfil thy word
upon them, that they be not shamed of their trust in thee. Give
ear to the outpouring of their whispered prayer, and let a voice be
heard plainly heralding good and comforting tidings. Hasten the
fourfold note of rejoicing,2 yea hasten to our help, and deny thyself
to thine adversaries. O thou who art higher than the highest,
gladden the soul of thy sore-grieved children with their shrine, once
lofty as high palaces. They declare thy praise with their lips, they
recount thy greatness in their heart, and every day they proclaim
thy Unity. They raise a mighty chant of praise, they frame new
strains of thanksgiving, and with voices that swell unfaltering
upward, they adore thee and hallow thee, their holy One.

240 HYMNS FOR THE EIGHTH DAY
Thy faithful sons assembled,
That long for blessing, bend
Their stature down before Thee,
Their pleadings never end.
All tranquil bring them homeward,
And let them fall on peace —
The seed of peace — through justice
O let their strength increase !
With blessings do Thou crown them,
With glory for a crown,
With honour to inherit—
O never cast them down !
But grant them their petition ;
Thyself their leader make
When for their glad assembly
Redemption shall awake.
O turn to give them pity,
Cut off that do them wrong ;
Accept Thy people's pleading
And raise their lowly throng.
Keep Thou their deeds of honour.
Forget they sinned again ;
All these that seek Thee early
Deliver from their pain. . . .
Then shall we praise as in the days
The sea was torn in twain.

HYMNS FOR THE EVENING OF THE REJOICING
OF THE LAW.
Reader. Bless ye the Lord, who is blessed.
Cong, and Reader. Blessed be the Lord, who is blessed for ever
and evermore.
Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, 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

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.
On the eighth day thou wilt prepare blessings for me and
with songs of deliverance wilt compass me about. In life's
even-tide thou wilt suffer me to lodge in thy shadow.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who bringest on the evening.

thou taught us. Therefore, O Lord our God, when we lie down

In his yearning may he bless the stalwart nation he hath
loved, with abundant measure, from the festival's beginning
even to this added day. For on this assembly of the feast
of ingathering he biddeth them that love him to his own
board.

243 HYMNS FOR THE NINTH EVENING
On the eighth day the Holy One ordaineth his loving-
kindness for his people, and at night his song is with them.
He is the Sovereign who beareth sway over his world. Over
us as of yore may his beauty abide.
With gladness and song and great joy they all said : 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.
On the eighth day, O Lord, do good unto them that
work good, who call upon thee with words that are pleasant.
Publish good tidings to thy beloved folk, who long to
proclaim thy sovereignty.
This is the Rock of our salvation, they exclaimed of old, 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.
As for the eighth day, it is commanded us to give a
portion to the seven days and to the eighth also. Upon
these will he that inhabiteth the heights remember the
fathers' merit, and once again take unto himself his count-
less congregation.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, King and Rock of Israel and his
Redeemer.
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 save us for the sake of thy Name.
Be thou a shield about us ; remove from us every enemy, pestilence,
sword, famine and sorrow ; remove also the adversary from before
us and from behind us. Shelter us beneath the shadow of thy
wings. For thou, O God, art our Guardian and our Deliverer ;
yea, thou, O God, art a gracious and merciful King. Guard our
going out and our coming in, unto life and peace from this time
forth and for evermore ; and spread over us the canopy of thy
peace.
On the eighth day God will be gracious unto us, to bless
us from his holy habitation. Our King will fulfil his pro-
mise to shelter us under the canopy of his peace.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who spreadest the canopy of peace over
us, and over all thy people Israel, and over Jerusalem.

248 HYMNS FOR THE REJOICING OF THE LAW
1 When the humble prophet heard the command, Get
thee up into mount Ebarim, he thought in his heart of
a glorious ascent as unto Sinai. He pictured that the
Beloved would grant unto the race chosen from the seventy
nations the decree of a new law and righteous precepts.
But when he heard the words, And die in the mount whither
thou goest up, Alack, he cried with grief-filled voice, This
ascent is of a truth a descent into the uttermost depths. I
beseech thee, Merciful One, let me pass and behold the good
and lofty mountain. The All-pure answered him, Enough :
speak no more. Joshua, thy minister, the time is come that
he be appointed thy successor. For not by a hair's breadth
may authority's succession be divided. Unto Mount Nebo
shalt thou go up and there shalt thou die, and in the valley
shalt thou be buried. When Moses knew that the decree
had gone forth upon him, he spake unto the Lord of all :
Make my sin known unto the fair and pure nation, lest the
chosen people say, He transgressed in secret, and therefore
the All-mighty and All-feared would not answer his prayer.
The Redeemer made reply to him, Because ye trespassed
against me at the waters of Meribah, therefore the voice of
your cry cometh not before me, and therefore this punishment
hath been ordained and meted out for you. Let it be
inscribed and written in the Law that restoreth the soul.
Then Moses gathered all the tribes of Jeshurun together and
assembled them in their camp. My perfect brethren, he
entreated, redeem me from going down into destruction.
Bitterly they lamented and wept with one voice, knowing
that there was no redemption nor ransom in aught of desire
or in words of argument. And when he saw that prayer
and supplication could not avail to deliver him, straightway
he resigned his soul unto the death that cometh from the
divine kiss. Hear me, he spake, my brothers and neigh-
bours, Study in the Law of delight, and let not this my lot
be a stumbling-block unto you, or cause of wavering. His
hosts wept for him for thirty days, mindful of the righteous-
ness of his judgments and of his faithful service by them.
Like a lion he leapt forth and sprang to redeem them from
the Egyptians, and he clave the sea for them, while they
proclaimed the everlasting sovereignty of their King.

250 NOTE ON THE FESTIVAL OF TABERNACLES
The Lulab and Ethrog were then discarded, and we learn that
children found an immediate use for the latter, by eating them.
The ceremony which appears to have aroused the greatest
enthusiasm was the drawing of water. Its precise antiquity and
its origin, whether symbolical or religious, are unknown.1 So
prominent and popular an institution had it become in the later
days of the Temple, that the Mishnah tells us (Sukkah v. i), "He
that hath not beheld the joy of the drawing of water hath never
seen joy in his life." The celebration began on the second evening
and lasted for six nights. As soon as the first day of the Festival
had terminated, the people flocked to the outer court of the Temple
known as the Court of Women. A barrier had been erected across
it, in order that the sexes might be kept apart. The court was
brilliantly illuminated. Large golden candelabras were set up,
which youthful priests fed from vessels of oil. So bright were the
flames that every street in Jerusalem shone with their light. A
torch-dance took place in which men of particular piety and renown
were selected to participate. The people, led by the Levites, sang
psalms and hymns to the accompaniment of flutes, harps, cymbals,
and many other musical instruments. A procession then appeared
from the inner court and descended the fifteen steps which led
thence to the court where the multitude was assembled. At each
step it paused whilst one of the Psalms of Degrees was chanted.
One can picture how, under the open sky and surrounded by the
dim shape of the hills, the vast congregation must have thrilled
when strains like those of the 125th Psalm — " As the mountains are
about Jerusalem " — swelled into the night. At the upper gate
stood two priests who sounded trumpets to mark the advance of
the procession. When it reached the lowest step we are told that
all turned about to the west, so as to face the Holy Place, and
recited these words : " Our fathers who were in this place turned
their backs upon the Temple, and their faces they turned eastward
and worshipped eastward toward the sun. But as for us, our eyes
are unto God." 2 At daybreak the procession left the Temple and
proceeded in a triumphal march to the pool of Siloam. A golden
ewer was filled from its waters and brought back to the Temple.
Its contents were poured upon the altar simultaneously with a
libation of wine. The libation of water and its attendant ceremonies
were opposed by the Sadducees, and the Sadducaean prince,
Alexander Jannaeus, on one occasion, when officiating in his capacity
of high priest, contemptuously poured the water out at his feet.
The incensed populace pelted him with their citrons, and since then
the priest was always bidden to raise his hands as he poured forth
the water.
1 For the libation of water as a religious rite cf. 1 Sam. vii. 6.
It is possible that Isaiah xii. 3, so far from suggesting the ceremony,
actually refers to it.
2 According to R. Jehudah : wyv ,-pSl n*7 UK " We are unto
God, and unto God are our eyes."
NOTE ON THE FESTIVAL OF TABERNACLES
The liturgy for the festival of Tabernacles illustrates the many-
customs and observances which in the course of ages have gathered
round its celebration. By reason both of their distinctive nature
and of their historical associations, they form a study of great
interest and attractiveness.
Joyous worship has always been the key-note of this festival.
Primarily, as appears from the Pentateuch, it was the harvest-
festival, and it formed one of the three seasons at which a pilgrimage
to Jerusalem was enjoined. The Law also commands that it should
be celebrated by dwelling in booths and (as a symbol of rejoicing)
by the taking of four vegetable products : the palm-branch, the
citron, the myrtle, and the willow of the brook. In the time of
Nehemiah these plants were used in the construction of the booth
itself (Neh. viii. 15), and the Sadducees, and the Karaites in later
times, followed the same practice. At an early period, however, the
Lulab, i.e. the palm-branch with its attendant bunch of myrtle
and willow, and the Ethrog, or citron, figured in the service of the
Temple. It became customary to hold them in the hand whilst
reciting the Hallel and to wave the Lulab (as is done in our Syna-
gogues to the present day) during the chanting of Psalm cxviii.
1-4 and 25.
Apart from its presence in the Lulab, the willow was brought into
further prominence in the Temple service. At a place called Moza
or Colonia, some three miles south of Jerusalem, willows grew
in great abundance. Long, thin boughs were gathered thence
and were set about the altar, so that their heads drooped over
it. Every day the priests, with Lulab and Ethrog, went round the
altar in procession to the sound of the shophar, chanting " Save
now, I beseech, O Lord : O Lord, I beseech thee, send now pros-
perity " (Ps. cxviii. 25). 1 This custom is at least as old as the
time of the Maccabees (see 2 Mace. x. 6), and its great antiquity
is shewn by the fact that the author of the Book of Jubilees traces it
back to Abraham. On the first six days the priests circled the
altar once ; but on the seventh day they made seven circuits about
it, and when they had completed these they saluted the altar with
the words " Beautv is thine. O altar ; 0 altar, beauty is thine." 2
1 Another refrain was jo rjT'Bnn "m 'JN, the meaning of which
Is somewhat uncertain. The word 'ON probably stands for ijix,
andini for the Tetragrammaton ; so that the meaning is "O Lord
God ! save now."
2 According to tradition another formula was roTD "pi rv^ —
" To Him and to thee, O altar."

NOTE ON THE FESTIVAL OF TABERNACLES 251
The libation of water was bound up with another feature of the
feast of Tabernacles. It marked the beginning of the winter or
rainy season. The world, says the Mishnah, is judged for rain on
Tabernacles. Prayers for rain therefore became customary on the
Festival, and in course of time came to be associated with the Eighth
Day in particular. To the present day a prayer for rain is retained
in our ritual, and though in western countries rain in the winter is
no great boon, in Palestine it is awaited with intense anxiety. Rain
is its life-blood. Good rains mean prosperity : want of rain spells
ruin, thirst and fever.
With the destruction of the Temple many of the distinctive
celebrations of the festival disappeared. But others grew up. New
associations, for instance, wove themselves about the seventh day.
The Morning Service became invested with a solemn character akin
to that of the Day of Atonement, and many of the prayers which
were composed for it sound like an echo of the Great Fast. The
previous evening was spent in study and in the recital of psalms.
The latest feature in the development of the Festival is the festive
character given to the last day as marking the occasion of the
completion and recommencement of the reading of the Law. In
the Middle Ages it became customary to take all the Scrolls from
the Ark and to bear them in procession round the Synagogue.
Anxious as Jewish parents have always been to stimulate their
children's love and interest in their religion, they made it essentially
a children's festival. In some synagogues children were called to
the reading of the Law. Fruits and sweets were distributed amongst
them. Candles, banners and even the firing of salutes marked the
joyous nature of the occasion.
And thus in ever-changing surroundings the note of joy in the
festival of Tabernacles can be heard through all the centuries, now
as the rejoicing over the harvest, now as the joy of Temple worship,
and now again in triumphant homage to the Law, Israel's inalienable
birthright, whence with joy he " draws water out of the wells of
salvation."
