In the Ancient Days of Israel

from Laylah by Natalie Kendel

/

about

This song tells the story of a Friday evening in ancient Israel. During the period of the first temple, Israelites would gather in the temple court in Jerusalem to open Shabbat. Together they would hear readings from the Tanakh, and sing the psalms of David.

lyrics

In the ancient days of Israel
as the Friday evening would come
people stopped their work
gathered at the temple

And they sang
the psalms of David
filled the temple court with song
By the glow of a thousand lanterns
as a million stars came out

In the city of Jerusalem
as the Friday light slowly died
in the house of God
near to the Shekinah

And they sang
the psalms of David
filled the temple court with song
By the glow of a thousand lanterns
as a million stars came out
