1
And it came to pass that the children of Israel did make camp there by the twelve stones and did wait upon the Voice of יהוה (YHVH) to come unto Joshua.
2
And after so many days did יהוה (YHVH) speak unto Joshua, saying:
3
This day have I taken away the contempt of Egypt from off you, therefore, ye shall keep this camp until the Passover; and after this, thou shall be told.
4
And so it was that the children of Israel did keep camp there and did keep the Passover in the plains of Jericho.
5
¶ And it came to pass that Israel did remember her covenant with יהוה (YHVH), and she did keep it.
6
And the Priests did put up the Tabernacle, and the Priests did offer up sacrifices and the Priestesses did pour out libations to YHVH, our Elohim.
7
And in the Holy Place they did setup the to North, the Shewbread for which to feed the people;
8
And to the South, the Menorah, a tree of fire for which to light the way;
9
And to the East, the Altar of Incense to burn the sweet smell before יהוה (YHVH);
10
And to the West, the Veil that did keep apart the ark of the covenant and the Holy of Holies.
11
And the Shewbread was to remember life that comes from our Mother, the Earth, and that יהוה (YHVH) is the source of all life.
12
And the Menorah, with its six candles, to remember the six days of creation, and the Sabbath, the one flame given to light the other flames, and the Fire to remember the Voice of יהוה (YHVH), and the tree to remember the Shekinah, that tree of life.
13
And the Altar of Incense to remember Ruach HaKodesh, the Wind (Air), the very Breath of יהוה (YHVH), and the prayers of Israel, ascending into the heavens to be received in the Presence of יהוה (YHVH).
14
And the veil to remember the division between the earth and the heavens, as a flood of Waters flowing between them, and the mercy of יהוה (YHVH), the shield of Israel.
15
And the Shewbread that none in Israel should go hungry, but all be fed in the mercy of יהוה (YHVH).
16
¶ And it came to pass that the Priests did offer up sacrifices unto יהוה (YHVH), and the Priestesses did pour out the libations, and the children of Israel did stand ready as death did pass over them.
17
And the people did eat of the yield of the land after the Passover, and unleavened cakes, and roasted grains.
18
And so it was that the manna יהוה (YHVH) had given them ceased on the day after the Passover;
19
And the children of Israel had not manna anymore, but they did eat of the fruit of the land.
