The Wild Animals say,
One thing have I sworn by My holiness,
That I will not fail David.
He trains my hand for war,
So that mine arms do bend a brass bow.
She put forth her hand to the pin,
And her right hand to strike the weary;
For the appointed day of their reckoning is near,
And what is destined for them hastens.
The Lord impoverishes and makes rich.
He humbles; He also exalts.
Vengeance is poised with Me,
And it will pay at the time their foot stumbles.
And the children of Israel did so
They gathered, both the one who gathered much
And the one who gathered little.
And they measured [it] with an omer.
And whoever gathered much
Did not have more, and whoever gathered little did not have less;
I am my beloved's, and his desire is upon me.
Each one according to his eating capacity, they gathered.
Blessed is the One Who is good and bestows good.
The seed of Abraham His servant, the children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is the Lord our G-d; throughout all the earth are His judgments.
He remembered His covenant forever, the word He had commanded to the thousandth generation,
THE KABBALAH OF TIME: The Jewish Calendar is the master key to unlock the hidden rationale behind the formal structure of ancient sacred texts, as well as to understand and experience the most profound mystical concepts, which reveal the spiritual energy of each week, serving as a practical guide for self-analysis and development.

Week 36 (Book 7): The Gazelle Is Saying
The Gazelle Is Saying
Come, my beloved,
Let us go out to the field, let us lodge in the villages
And I shall sing of Your strength
I shall rejoice of Your kindness in the morning
For You were a refuge to me,
and a hiding place on the day of my oppression.
And You have given me the shield of Your salvation;
And You have increased Your humility for me.
He lifts the poor from the dust;
From the dunghill, He raises the pauper,
When the Lord will judge His people,
And will reconsider His servants,
To seat them with princes,
And a seat of honor He causes them to inherit,
When He sees that the power is increasing,
And none is controlled or strengthened.
And Moses said to them,
Let no one leave over [any] of it until morning.
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,
And He placed the world upon them.
But [some] men did not obey Moses
And left over [some] of it until morning,
And it bred worms and became putrid,
And Moses became angry with them.
She struck Sisera, pierced his head,
And wounded and penetrated his temple.
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac. He established it
For Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting Covenant,
Stating, "To you I shall give the land of Canaan”

Week 37 (Book 7): The Elephant Is Saying
The Elephant Is Saying
You have enlarged my step[s] beneath me
You have enlarged my step[s] beneath me
And my ankles have not slipped
How great are your works, G-d
Your thoughts are tremendously deep
Let us arise early to the vineyards;
Let us see whether the vine has blossomed
They gathered it morning by morning
For not by strength will man prevail.
And they walked from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
A double portion of bread, two omers for one,
And all the princes of the community came and reported to Moses.
Each one according to his eating capacity
And [when] the sun grew hot, it melted
Then He will say, "Where is their deity
The rock in which they trusted?”
At her feet he sank, fell, lay;
At her feet he sank (and) fell;
The feet of His pious ones He will guard,
And the wicked shall be cut off in darkness
The tiny grapes have developed,
The pomegranates have lost their flowers
Like the moon, which is established forever,
And it is a witness in the sky, eternally true.
When they were few in number, hardly dwelling in it.
It came to pass on the sixth day that they gathered
He let no man oppress them, and He reproved kings on their account.

Week 38 (Book 7): The Lion is saying
The Lion is saying
He shall arouse zeal, He shall cry,
Even roar, He shall prevail over His enemies.
I have pursued my enemies
And have destroyed them;
Those who strive with the Lord will be broken;
Upon him will He thunder in Heaven;
So they left it over until morning
As Moses had commanded
He called a famine upon the land;
He broke every staff of bread.
Who ate the fat of their sacrifices
And drank the wine of their libations?
Through the window looked forth,
The mother of Sisera [peered] through the window;
Let them arise and help you! Let them be your shelter!
And all the rest leave over to keep until morning
Where he sank, there he fell down dead.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
And He will grant strength to His King,
And raise the horn of His anointed one.
"Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do not harm My prophets.”
But You abandoned and You rejected;
You became wroth with Your anointed.
He sent a man before them;
Joseph was sold as a slave.
So he said to them
That is what the Lord spoke
Tomorrow is a rest day
A holy Sabbath to the Lord
The pots [of figs] have given forth [their] fragrance
And on our doorways are all manner of sweet fruits,
Bake whatever you wish to bake
And cook whatever you wish to cook
G-d shall go out as a mighty man,
Never turning back until they were consumed.
And it did not become putrid
And not a worm was in it
Both new and old, Which I have hidden away for you, my beloved. |

Week 39 (Book 7): The Bear Is Saying
Week 39: The Bear is saying,
Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,
The village that Kedar inhabits
O, that you were like my brother,
Who sucked my mother's breasts!
And Moses said, "Eat it today,
For today is a Sabbath to the Lord;
Today you will not find it in the field."
Let the inhabitants of the rock sing,
Let them shout from the peaks of the mountains.
Let them give glory to G-d and tell of His praise in the islands. And Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house I would find you outside, I would kiss you, and they would not despise me. |
See now that it is I! I am the One,
And there is no G-d like Me!
Six days you shall gather it,
But on the seventh day, the Sabbath, on it there will be none.
And the child was serving the Lord before Eli the priest.
They afflicted his foot with fetters;
His soul was placed in irons.
You abrogated the covenant of Your servant;
Why is his chariot late in coming?
Why tarry the strides of his chariots?
I cause death and grant life.
I strike, but I heal,
And no one can rescue from My Hand!
And I have consumed them,
And I have crushed them that they cannot rise;
Yes, they are fallen under my feet.
You profaned his crown to the ground.
Until His word came, the saying of the Lord purified him.
A king sent and released him,
A ruler of peoples [sent] and loosed his bonds.

Week 40 (Book 7): The Wolf Is Saying
The Wolf Is Saying
You breached all his fences
You made his fortifications a ruin
For every matter of iniquity
For the ox, the donkey, the lamb, the garment
For every lost item which he says, "This is it,"
Some spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.
The matter of both of them shall come before the judge
To bind up his princes with his soul
It came about that on the seventh day
The people went out to gather, but they did not find
And he made his elders wise
He who the judge finds guilty shall pay double to the other
Now the sons of Eli were base men
They knew not the Lord
He made him the master of his household |
And the ruler over all his possessions
The Lord said to Moses, How long will you refuse
To observe My commandments and My teachings?
The wisest of her princesses answer her
She too returns answers to herself
For I raise up My hand to heaven
And say, 'As I live forever.’
Israel came to Egypt and Jacob
Sojourned in the land of Ham
For You have girded me with strength for the battle
You have subdued under me those that rose up against me
I would lead you, I would bring you to the house of my mother
Who instructed me; I would give you to drink

Week 41 (Book 7): The Fox Is Saying
The Fox Is Saying
When I sharpen the blade of My sword
And My hand grasps judgment
Woe to him that builds his house without justice
And his chambers without lawfulness
When (one) cooked the flesh,
With a three-pronged fork in his hand
Are they not finding (and) dividing the spoils
A damsel, two damsels to every man
That uses his friend’s service without wages
And does not give him for his hire
I will bring vengeance upon My adversaries
And repay those who hate Me
Them that hate me, that I may cut them off
And of my enemies You have given me the back of their necks
All wayfarers have plundered him
He was a disgrace to his neighbors
See that the Lord has given you the Sabbath
Therefore, on the sixth day He sent Moses His servant
His left hand would be under my head,
When I sharpen the blade of My sword
And My hand grasps judgment
Woe to him that builds his house without justice
And his chambers without lawfulness
When (one) cooked the flesh,
With a three-pronged fork in his hand
Are they not finding (and) dividing the spoils
A damsel, two damsels to every man
He gives you bread for two days
Let each man remain in his place
The servant of the priest would come
[And] Aaron whom He chose
Let each man remain in his place
The servant of the priest would come
[And] Aaron whom He chose
And this was the due of the priests from the people
(Whenever) any man would slaughter a sacrificeThat uses his friend’s service without wages
And does not give him for his hire
I will bring vengeance upon My adversaries
And repay those who hate Me
Them that hate me, that I may cut them off
And of my enemies You have given me the back of their necks
All wayfarers have plundered him
He was a disgrace to his neighbors
He turned their heart to hate His people
To plot against His servantsSee that the Lord has given you the Sabbath
Therefore, on the sixth day He sent Moses His servant
His left hand would be under my head,
And his right hand would embrace me.
Let no man leave his place on the seventh day
So the people rested on the seventh day
And He made His people very fruitful
And He made it stronger than its adversaries
