In the month of spring,

“Today
you go out, in the month of
the spring.
For, lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing is come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs,
and the vines in blossom
give a smell.”

“Dew, drop upon a blessed land,
from the precious things of heaven satisfy us with blessing.
Dew, command a good year and a crown,
and the fruit of the earth for pride and for beauty.
Dew, with plenty fill our granaries,
so renew our days.”

that our fathers ate in the land of Egypt.
All who are hungry – let them come and eat!
All who are in need – let them come and celebrate Passover!
This year our people is in the hand of an enemy – next year
in the Land of Israel.
This year, slaves – next year

“Slaves we were to Pharaoh in Egypt,

And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen;

“And there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not
Joseph. And he said unto his people: Behold, the people of Israel
is more numerous and mightier than we. Come, let us deal wisely with him, lest
he multiply.
And they embittered their lives with hard labor, in mortar and in bricks, and in all manner of service
hard in the house and in the field. And Pharaoh commanded: Every son
that is born into the Nile you shall cast him!
And the children of Israel sighed, and their cry rose up from the labor,

about six hundred thousand men on foot,
besides children. And a mixed multitude went up also

And they baked

they brought forth
out of Egypt,
unleavened cakes,

had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned
against the people, and they said:
What is this that we have done, that we have let
Israel go from serving us?
And the Egyptians pursued after them, and overtook
them encamping by the sea. And the children of
Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground; and the waters
were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued,
and went in after them, all the horses of
Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen, into the midst of
the sea.
And the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared;

And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah,

“Fire consumed all
and the foundations of the land were destroyed, a sword of slaughter
turning.
For a great house of bondage became one, the land was
in a shame of killing, a sister to the dispersion

For the terror came even unto the gate of our house, and upon our open sky

And it came to pass in our house that a last hope for those driven by storm disappeared,
And there came a fugitive, one from a thousand, who did not come,
who was slaughtered in their multitudes,
And those who fell in the battle, a last man from the remnant of
the escape that survived, and she stood in all her soul
and with all her might to establish the homeland.

be contained by knowledge, and which our fathers did not know until the end:
Upon the beast of man that appeared in all its nakedness,
and upon the multitudes of a nation whose hand was in crime –
upon a heap of strangers and conspiracies of Satan, and upon houses of slaughter
which they established to guard and to murder –
upon communities in Israel of which not a remnant was left to them,

from a dream of his illusions he will awake, he will roll from the distress of
his bed. Establish a black board in our window, upon it
in fire and blood will be carved a black line:
There is justice and there is judgment!
And do not look back – the market came to its accounts, in corners
the revolution of the state thought, bring unto him a laughter
of salvation, and a small tidings to the line, to the tidings of
mercies: There is justice and there is judgment!
Pass through in all countries of all, in lands far away
announce and make heard to all peoples of the earth:
Justice and judgment for all!”
Pour out Your wrath upon the nations that
have not known You, and upon
the kingdoms that have not called upon Your name.
For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.
Pour out Your indignation upon them, and let Your wrathful anger
take hold of them!
Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under
the heavens!
Blow and make a sound in the streets, at the top of the bustling places,
flags flutter: there is justice and there is judgment!
Watch over the house of the murderer, in the blackness of night,
from a dream of his illusions he will awake, he will roll from the distress of
his bed. Establish a black board in our window, upon it
in fire and blood will be carved a black line:
There is justice and there is judgment!
And do not look back – the market came to its accounts, in corners

“And this is the song that those who avenge and rebel sang on the day of mass:
Please do not say: Behold the last of the paths, the dawn stood over us, it did not shed light
the light of day, they cleared the skies of our cloud; with the narrow rock our path changed like a shadow
this is a day we yearned for, it will still rise and come; but if a night will delay to come the light
and our step will still stumble – we are here! Like a slogan this song will go from generation to generation

From land of the modern even unto rivers of Kushiites, in writing of blood and the flying she is written
we are here in trenches and prisons, and in a multi-colored shirt of the freedom and the expanse
and as a drop of our blood that was shed, and in the falling of walls its building all the people
will not build yet further, and we are in heroism, with a straight path and singing in their hand.

Fear not, O Jacob, and do not be dismayed, O Israel.
And now, fear not, My servant Jacob, for I redeemed you,
when you pass through waters and rivers – they shall not overflow you;
when you walk through fire – you shall not be burned, and a flame
shall not kindle upon you!
From the east I will bring your seed, and from the west
I will gather you!”

“Zion, wilt thou not ask if peace be with thy captives,
that seek thy peace, and who are the remnant of thy flocks?
From west and east, and from north and south, peace
from far and near, bear it from all thy sides!
How shall it be sweet to me to eat and to drink at a time when
dogs drag thy lions?
Or how shall the light of day be sweet to my eyes,
while yet I see in the mouths of ravens the corpses of thy eagles?
They are the ones who rejoice in thy tranquility, and who pain
over thy desolation and weep over thy breaches.
Happy is he that waiteth, and shall arrive and see the rising of
thy light, and thy dawns shall break upon him!”

“The hand of the Lord was upon me, and the Lord carried me out in a spirit, and set me down in the midst
of the valley, and it was full of bones. And He caused me to pass by them
round about, and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were dry
very. And He said unto me: Son of man, can these bones
live? And I answered: O Lord God, Thou knowest!
And He said unto me: Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them:
O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus
says the Lord God unto these bones: Behold, I will cause
breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up
flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you,
and ye shall live.
And I prophesied as I was commanded; and there was a noise as I prophesied, and behold
a commotion, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I beheld, and lo, there were
sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above
from upwards, but there was no breath in them.
And He said unto me: Prophesy unto the breath, prophesy, son of man,
and say unto the breath: From the four winds come, O breath, and breathe
into these slain, that they may live! And I prophesied as He commanded me,
and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an army
great very, very.
And He said unto me: Son of man, these bones, the whole house of Israel
are they. Behold, they say: Dried are our bones, and perished is
our hope, we are clean cut off!
Therefore prophesy, and say unto them: Behold, I am opening your graves,
your graves, and I will bring you up from your graves, My people,
and I will bring you into the land of Israel!”

This is a sign and a banner, the submission of a tunnel is rising, upon
tidings of a world of a new month and a spring of peoples.
