Wise-hearted men, wise-hearted women,
bring what you can, silver and linen,
wool of crimson, and of blue,
and the bodies I gave you.
Build me a tent that I can dwell in
Incense and oil and precious stones
And when you walk I'll walk beside you
and where you live will be my home.
Betzalel…guide them well…
build me a place to dwell.
Build me a lamp with seven branches
made from a single piece of gold
Seven arms like almond blossoms
from their petals fire will glow.
Make me an altar of acacia
on the corners, place four rings.
Make me a pair of golden angels
to guard my words beneath their wings.
Oholiav…fill them with love.
Make me a place to live.
Melt down, melt down your copper mirrors
to make a sacred bowl
and fill it up with holy water
to wash your bodies and your souls.
Weave me a cloth with angels' faces
just as fine as thread can sew.
And when I see how they surround me,
I will know that I am home.
Wise hearted men, wise hearted women,
bring what you can, silver and linen.
