Kohelet
CD Title: Across The River
Artist: Sam Glaser
Transliteration:
That which has been always shall be
What has been done shall always be
Nothing is new under the heavens
Nothing new under the sunMa shehayah hu sheyiyeh
Uma shena'asah hu sheie'aseh
V'en kol chadash tachat hashameshKi mi yodeyah
ma tov la'adam bachayim
Mispar y'mei ohayei hevloSof davar hakol
nishmah
Et haElokim yirah
V'et mitzvotav sh'mor
Ki zeh kol adamWhatever has been is what will be
and whatever has been done is what will be done
Who can possibly know what is good for man in life
during the short span of his futile existence
The sum of the matter, when all has been considered:
Fear G-d and keep His commandments, for that is man's whole duty
(Kohelet 1:9, 6:12, 12:13)
