Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh
l'hadar k'vodo, ul’mishkan mizbeach asim l'karnei hodo, ulner tamid ekach li es esh ha'akeidah, ulkorban akriv lo es nafshi, es nafshi hayechida. | בִּלְבָבִי מִשְׁכָּן אֶבְנֶה לַהֲדַר כְּבוֹדוֹ,
וּלמִּשְׁכָּן מִזְבֵּֽחַ אָשִׂים לְקַרְנֵי הוֹדוֹ, וּלְנֵר תָּמִיד אֶקַּח לִי אֶת–אֵשׁ הָעֲקֵידָה, וּלְקָרְבָּן אַקְרִיב לוֹ אֶת נַפְשִי, אֶת נַפְשִׁי הַיְחִידָה. |
Translation:I will build a tabernacle in my heart to glorify God's honor. And I will place an altar in the tabernacle dedicated to God's divine rays of splendor.
And for the eternal, constant flame I will take upon myself the fire that fueled the Binding( of Isaac). And as a sacrifice I will offer God my soul, my unique soul. User-contributed translation | |
