Midrash su Ezechiele 20:40
כִּ֣י בְהַר־קָדְשִׁ֞י בְּהַ֣ר ׀ מְר֣וֹם יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל נְאֻם֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה שָׁ֣ם יַעַבְדֻ֜נִי כָּל־בֵּ֧ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל כֻּלֹּ֖ה בָּאָ֑רֶץ שָׁ֣ם אֶרְצֵ֔ם וְשָׁ֞ם אֶדְר֣וֹשׁ אֶת־תְּרוּמֹֽתֵיכֶ֗ם וְאֶת־רֵאשִׁ֛ית מַשְׂאוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם בְּכָל־קָדְשֵׁיכֶֽם׃
Perché nella Mia santa montagna, nella montagna dell'altezza di Israele, dice il Signore DIO, là tutta la casa d'Israele, tutte loro, Mi serviranno nel paese; lì li accetterò e là richiederò le tue offerte pesanti e il primo dei tuoi doni, con tutte le tue cose sante.
