Shelakh Lecha-The Scouts Who are the People And what is this land Could we exist there And reach out a hand Mosheh sent scouts To give their report Will they share what they have Or use us for sport With God’s help we’ll cross over Reap what we sow Determine each person Whether friend or a foe Have faith in the future love humanity Trust God to stand by And watch over me Go out and set forth Do what I say Be ready stand up It’s one day away Land can be rented And only from God Lay down your swords And be sanctified.

Not done and not complete. The Jews set out on a journey. And traveled the desert by feet. Copper, bronze, silver, and gold Colors that all look so bold. The people took the story once told. Uniting them with the tabernacle. The tabernacle served as a home. For the priests who proudly wore the stones The 12 tribes joined on their own. To create the tabernacle There once was a tabernacle. Soon to be finished. Just as God instructed. And just what Moses wished. The cloud descended on the tent. And watched as the Israelites came and went. Fire by night and sun by day. God was with them all the way. Moshe wanted to create the throne. So, God could finally take a seat. Everything was perfect now. The tabernacle finally complete. There once was a tabernacle. The work was finally done. We made a space for holiness.
