Liturgy su Geremia 31:78

“Adonoy will reign forever and ever.”¹⁰Exodus 15:18. And it is said, “For Adonoy has liberated Jacob and redeemed him from a hand, mightier than his.”¹¹Jeremiah 31:10. Blessed are You, Adonoy Who has redeemed Israel.

The High Priest then walked to the eastern part of the Temple Courtyard where stood a pair of goats bought with communal funds. They stood next to each other like twins, identical in color and height,⁹⁴The Mishnah stipulates four categories of similarity: looks (color), height, value, and simultaneous purchase. ready to atone for the sins of a rebellious daughter [Yisrael].⁹⁵Yirmiyahu 31:21. Two golden lots were mixed,⁹⁶Mishnah Yoma 3:9, 4:1. then lifted out of the box,⁹⁷The High Priest placed both hands into the box, then mixed the lots inside, and lifted them out, one in his right hand and one in his left (Rambam ch. 3). one lot for God, the other for “Azazel.”⁹⁸Mishnah Yoma 4:1. On one lot was written “For Hashem” and on the other was written “For Azazel.” The two goats stood in front of him facing west. The goat to his right received the lot in his right hand, and the goat on the left was allotted that in his left. He shouted aloud “A sin offering for Adonoy.”⁹⁹Ibid. This was shouted when he placed the lot “for Adonoy” on the appropriate goat. Those who heard him responded, blessing ‘the Name of God.'¹⁰⁰They actually responded saying: “Blessed [is His] Name, His glorious Kingdom is forever and ever”; as was the procedure each time the Name of Hashem was explicitly pronounced (see note 92). In addition, as before, the people prostrated themselves (see Rambam ch. 2). The goat receiving the lot “for Hashem” would later be sacrificed as a sin offering, while the goat receiving the lot “for Azazel” would be sent out to the Judean hills. A thread of red wool he tied on the head of the Azazel goat¹⁰¹Mishnah Yoma 4:2. This was done so that the scapegoat should not be confused with the other goat, to be sacrificed. which was placed at the eastern gate¹⁰²Ibid. This was the “gate of Niknor.” from whence it would be sent away. He completed this service, approached his ox a second time,¹⁰³Ibid. This was the ox upon which he had previously confessed his and his household’s sins. Thus, the two confessions were interspersed by the drawing of the lots for the two goats. and made confession.¹⁰⁴This confession was for himself and his fellow priests.

The iniquity of our fathers has burdened us [with exile] and we have to taste the sour grapes;³See Jeremiah 31:29. I.e. the punishment of their sins. we were made to drink the cup of poison, bitterness and wrath. As in the days when You dwelt among us, and made our lives sweet, return to us, O God of our deliverance, and annul Your anger toward us.

and [we have] Faith in all this – and it is established for us, for He is the L·rd Our G-d & there is none other than Him – and we are Yisrael, His people. [He is] The One Who redeems us from the hand of kings, Our King, Who Delivers us from from the hands of all tyrants, the G-d that avenges for us those that cause us pain, the One that will pay back all that was bestowed upon us to all the enemies of our souls, the One Who keeps our souls alive, and did not allow our feet to stumble, the One Who guides us upon the altars of our enemies. And who raises our countenance [horn] upon all our foes, the G-d that takes vengeance upon Pharaoh, with signs and wonders – in the land of the people of H'am, the One that Strikes with His wrath all the first-born of Egypt, & He Brings out His people, Yisrael from among them to eternal freedom. Who causes His children to pass between the splittings of the Sea of Reeds, & their pursuers & their foes He drowned in the depths. His children observed His might – & gave praise & lauded Him for His Name's sake – & His Kingship, they willingly, accepted upon themselves. Moshe / Moses & the Children of Yisrael answered with Song & great joy, & they all said “Who is like You among the mighty, L·rd. Who is like You supreme in holiness, [too] awesome [for] praises - Who does wonders. Your Kingship, L·rd, our G-d Your Children saw by the Sea, united all of them gave thanks and accepted Your Kingship and said “The L·rd will reign, forever more.” And it is said “For the L·rd redeemed Yaakov / Jacob & he saved him from the hand of one stronger than he.” (Jeremiah 31:10) Blessed are You L·rd, who redeems Yisrael.

And now Adonoy, our God, after we have repented, we regret [our sins], and after realizing [our guilt], we struck ourselves on the thigh. We are ashamed, even disgraced, for we also bear the shame of our youth.¹Jeremiah 31:18. Because of this we take our flesh in our teeth,²We bite ourselves. and put our life in our hands.³Job 13:14. How shall we approach You, Adonoy, our God, and how shall we bow unto You, exalted God?⁴Micah 6:6. How will You be reconciled to us and atone all our sins, which have passed by and gone like water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again?⁵II Samuel 14:14. If through repentance and confession You will be reconciled to us, behold we repent and confess before You Adonoy, our God: “We have sinned and transgressed, and that which is straight, we distorted, and it has not profited us.” And if through prayer and supplication You will forgive us, behold we offer our supplication before You; “As the eyes of servants [look] toward the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden [look] toward the hand of her mistress; so our eyes are lifted to You.”⁶Psalms 123:2. And if through weeping and wailing You will pardon us, behold, our soul weeps in secret because of our sins, and our spirit groans within us over the multitude of our transgressions. And if through a broken spirit, You will atone us, behold our heart is broken within us, and our spirit is crushed by the troubles and travails which have passed over us, until there is nothing left whole in our flesh. Were it not for Your mercy and kindness, we would have perished because of our iniquities.

for we also bear the shame of our youth.¹Jeremiah 31:18.

And by the hand of Your servants, the Prophets it is written: “Go and proclaim it in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying: thus said Adonoy, I remembered for you the kindness of your youth,⁵²According to Malbim “the kindness of your youth” refers to the kindness of our forefathers who accepted the Oneness of Hashem and proclaimed His Kingship to a world steeped in the worship of idols. Metsudas Dovid maintains however that “the kindness of your youth” refers to the kindness Hashem bestowed on us at the early stage of our history, when He selected Yisrael as His special, unique people. the love of your bridal days,⁵³This refers to the love Hashem bestowed on Yisrael when He gave us the Torah at Sinai. Our Sages refer to this event as the canopy, the chupah, by which the children of Yisrael were betrothed to Him.—Malbim, Metsudas Dovid how you followed Me into the wilderness,⁵⁴Hashem recalls the faith of His people who followed Moshe into the wilderness.—Malbim, Metsudas Dovid
Rashi maintains that the entire verse refers to one period of time. He says that the kindness of our youth was manifested when we followed Him, i.e., His messengers, Moshe and Ahahron, into the wilderness. in a land that was not cultivated.”⁵⁵Yirmiyahu 2:2. And it is said: “I will remember My covenant [which I made] with you in the days of your youth, and I will fulfill it for you as an everlasting covenant.”⁵⁶Yechezkel 16:60. And it is said: “Is Ephraim not My precious son, is he not a child of delight? For whenever I speak of him, I recall him even more;⁵⁷These words must be understood in the context of the two sentences (Yirmiyahu 31:17-18) preceding them. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, saying: “You have chastised me and I was chastised ... I was ashamed, I was also disgraced, because I bear the humiliation of the sins of my youth.” Thus, explains Rabbenu Shlomo of Germaza, when Hashem hears Ephraim’s words of repentance, He is moved to proclaim His Divine love for him and to recall His delight in him. Ephraim is the name by which the ten tribes of Yisrael was referred. Therefore, My innermost being is aroused for him, I will surely have compassion on him,⁵⁸The Almighty pledges His Divine mercy and promises to deliver them from exile.—Radak says Adonoy.”⁵⁹Yirmiyahu 31:19. After reciting this verse, you might offer this silent prayer: Master of the Universe, remember on this Day of Judgment, that we are Your precious and loving children. Is there another nation in the entire world that gives You such נַחַת רוּחַ, pleasure, from the fulfillment of Your sacred commandments, as we do.
