Original lyrics
ובכן היה לאין
לא ארמון ולא בירה
לא גזית ולא דירה
לא היכל ולא ווים
לא זבח ולא חלבים
לא טבילה ולא ידות
לא כפר ולא להתוודות
לא מזבח ולא נסכים
לא סולת ולא ערכים
לא פרוכת ולא צלפים
לא קטורת ולא רצפים
לא שפיכה ולא תימורת
לא שמונה ולא לתפארת
לא מדבר ולא האוזל
לא שעיר ולא עזאזל
ובכן היה לאין
מחמד כל עין

Translation
And so it came to naught
No holy palace, no earthly dwellings,
No Sanhedrin’s court, no priestly chambers,
No sanctuary, and no hanging-hooks,
No fats reserved, no sacrifices,
No immersion, and no choice portions,
No expiation, and no confessions,
No holy altar, and no libations,
No fine flour, no valuations,
No woven curtain, no caper bushes,
No fragrant incense, no burning embers,
No blood poured out, and no smoky pillars,
No priestly vestments, and no grand splendors,
No beast sent to death, no wildernesses,
No scapegoat sent forth and no Azazel.
And so it came to naught:
Every eye’s delight.
Thanks! ❤ | ||

who play stringed instruments and pipes. (Genesis 4:21)
