Liturgy su Genesi 44:36

To you, Lord, is justice and to us is shamefacedness. How (lit., what) shall we complain and what shall we say? How can we speak and how can we justify ourselves? We will examine our ways and contemplate, and return to You. For Your right hand is extended, to accept the ones returning to You. They are returning to You with all their hearts; accept, in Your mercy, their beseeching. For Your great mercy we have come before You; like weak and impoverished people we have knocked on Your doors. On Your doors we have knocked, merciful and gracious One, do not let us return empty-handed from before You. From You, our King, do not send us back empty-handed; for You hear prayers. The One who hears prayers, to You all flesh shall come. The spirits shall come before You, and all of the souls. The soul and the body are Yours, spare Your work. The soul and the body are Yours, the Rock that none are like You, spare Your work. The soul and the body are Yours, do it for the sake of Your name. We have pleaded for Your name, do it for the sake of Your name. For the sake of Your name, for Your name is Gracious and Merciful King. Your name will be pronounced about us, Lord our God. Your name will be pronounced among us; do not put us aside, Lord our God. Our God, we are embarrassed of our actions and we are ashamed of our wrongdoings. We do not have a mouth to answer back, nor the temerity to lift up our head. For our backsliding has become great, we have sinned before You. We have sinned with our fathers, we have become criminals and wicked. What shall we say before You, the One who sits above; what will we say before the One who dwells up above? Do You not know what is hidden and revealed? You know the mysteries of the world, and what is hidden by every living being. You search the innermost parts of the abdomen; You see the kidneys and the heart. There is nothing that is lost before You, there is nothing that is concealed before Your eyes. If our sins have testified against us, Lord, do it for the sake of Your name. If You should hold on to sins, God, who will remain standing? For from You is forgiveness, so that You will be feared. For the source of life is with You, we shall see light by Your light. For it is not because of our righteousness that we cast our supplications before You, but it is rather from Your great mercy.

(Some say:) Though the pigeon offerings have ceased,¹The literal translation of the word רֶבַע is a quarter. In the time of the Temple a poor man was permitted to bring doves or young pigeons which were worth a quarter of a dinar for his offerings. though the tent of His dwelling is now empty, we need not lose [hope] for we have our old father (Abraham)./ Recognize his presence when we mention his righteousness before You: “Take your beloved son, and let his blood be wrung out at the side [of the Altar].”/ He ran to the lad and consecrated him, though his soul was bound up in his soul; he put the wood and fire around him, and the crown of his God was on his head.²Abraham was compared to the high priest who wore the crown of God upon his forehead. The only one, light as a deer, answered and said to his father, “Behold we are bringing the fire and wood, but there is no offering to bring.”/ He answered him with words that would not terrify him; his father said to him, “God will show [the lamb], and the Lord will let us know that which is His [sacrifice].”/ Both heeded Your commandment and did not question You; without hesitation, they hurried quickly to one of the mountains./ When they saw a cloud suspended (Bereishit Rabbah 56:1), they quickly [brought] the wood for the burnt-offering; together, linked closely in love, they walked straight through the wilderness as though it was a plain./ When the only one perceived that he was the lamb (Rashi on Genesis 22:8), he said to his father, the tested one,³God had tested Abraham with nine tests and this was the tenth. “Do with me as you would a lamb, have no pity and do not spare [me]./ He [God] has delight in me and desires me, to bare my heart to Him; should you refuse to sacrifice me, in the end my spirit and my soul will be gathered unto Him.”/ He (Abraham) bound his hands and feet, and held his sword over him; he laid him carefully on the wood as the fire blazed on the altar./ He stretched forth his neck willingly, and his father came close to slaughter him in the name of his Master, and behold, the Lord stood over him./ He observed what he had done, how the father had not spared his son, his heart he lifted upwards,⁴To do God’s will. and God saw all that he had done./ He called to the one who was sanctified from the womb (Abraham),⁵See Rashi on Psalms 110:3. “In exchange for your chosen son, behold there is another ram, offer it without delay.”/ The exchanged [ram] will be his offering, its burning will be proper and its smoke will ascend; and it will be [as if] he and his exchange [are offered before Me].
