O Elohim, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have related to us, The work You did in their days, In the days of old.
“The living, the living – he is praising You, as I do this day. A father makes known Your truth to his children.
Hear this, you elders, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has this ever been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?

“For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that Elohim created man on the earth, and ask from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there has been a Word as great as this, or has been heard like it.
