A bell and a pomegranate
A bell and a pomegranate
Perfection and beauty
Each symbol in place.
Blue and purple
And crimson yarns
Gold threads, hammered gold
Lampstands ablossoming
“all of one piece”.
Each rod, each loop,
each preciou stone, each cubit,
Each detail dictated
And followed faithfully.
Even in the desert
Midst sheep, sand and tents,
The finest raw goods
And craftsmanship
Prevailed,
No luxury spared
For the tabernacle
Of the Lord
Marvel
And worship.
