אוֹהֵב גֶר! אַל תַּעֲלִים עֵינְךְ מִמֶּנִּי

כִּי גֵר אָנֹכִי כֹּה כִּמְעַט אֵינֶנִּי

וּמִי עֶזְרִי בָאָרֶץ זוּלָתֶךָ ! הַבֵּט כִּי נַפְשִׁי בַחֹשֶׁךְ יוֹשֶׁבֶת אָנָא! הָאֵר נֵרָהּ תַּעַל שַׁלְהֶבֶת וּבְשַׁלְהֶבֶת יָהּ תָּשִׁיר צִדְקָתֶךָ:

I. TRANSLATE into HEBREW with vowel points and principal accents:

I lifted up my eyes on high and looked upon the heavens in their glory, and upon the expanse above my head in its brightness;

On the sun that goeth forth as a hero in his might, and the moon that walketh like a fair maiden in her beauty;

On the stars also, a countless host, that fulfil joyfully their courses, and whose sweet influences man cannot bind;

On the rainbow that compasseth the sky about with a glorious circle, and the dew-drops that deck as with pearls the garments of the morning.

Then I turned and considered with myself the earth and all things wherewith it is replete :—this also is very wonderful and past finding out.

Who can declare the precious things that are hidden beneath the earth, or number the treasures that come forth from its surface?

Behold! there is a place for gold and silver, for the sapphire, the onyx, and the ruby.

The trees of the wood and of the orchard are each one good after its kind, the green herb also, and the flowers of the field.

The rose and the lily, how pleasant are they to the sight! the myrtle and myrrh, how sweet is their scent!

Consider the cattle that are thy servants, and the wild-beasts that will none of thy yoke:

The ox plougheth in thy furrow, and the ass feedeth at thy crib; but the lion cometh on to meet thee, and maketh thee to tremble with his roaring.

Who knoweth all the fowls of the air, and everything that flieth between heaven and earth,

From the kingly eagle that buildeth his nest in a rock, and rejoiceth in the whirlwind and rideth on the storm, to the tiny insect that is born in a day and dieth in a day?

Then I said, All these things are good, and many more like them might a wise man discover.

Surely then He who made them is great, yea moreover gracious is He and merciful.

For assuredly the Creator is greater than the creature, and as His majesty is, so is His mercy.

1 Now it happened that at that time there arose another king in his stead, and made many wars and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth, 2 And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted, and his heart was lifted up. 3 And he gathered a mighty strong host, and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him. 4 And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die. 5 Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them while he was yet alive. 6 So he reigned twelve years and then died.
