And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
and gie’s a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,

and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

Why the Jews in Jewish religion — PROPHETIC VISION
December 31, 2010
Why the Jews in Jewish religion — Hebrew religion always made a clear distinction between
priests, who performed the sacrificial rituals, and spiritual
leaders, who received direct guidance from God. In the early
centuries these prophets were also patriarchs and judges who
wielded political power; but once the monarchy was estab-
lished, their influence derived only from the force of their
teachings and personalities. They often spoke with great pas-
sion against social injustice, political oppression and empty
religion; and they also inspired their listeners with visions of
peace and harmony on earth.

Why the Jews in Jewish religion — Completing the temple
December 30, 2010
Why the Jews in Jewish Religion — After the Israelites had been banished to Babylon, others had
taken over their land; and these people now tried to harass
and frighten the Jews, in the hope of stopping their work.
They also bribed the officials of the Persian government to act
against the Jews in various ways. This continued throughout
the reign of Cyrus, and eventually brought the work to a
standstill.
When Darius became emperor, the Persian officials in
Jerusalem raised doubts as to whether permission had ever
been given for the rebuilding of the temple. But God was
watching over the Jewish leaders; and at their prompting, the
officials wrote to Darius for guidance. Darius wrote in reply
to the officials: `Stay away from the temple, and do not
interfere with its construction. Let the Jewish leaders rebuild
the temple of God where it stood before. I hereby command
you to help them rebuild it. Pay their expenses out of royal
funds; and day by day give the priests whatever animals they
need for their sacrifices. May God, who chose to be wor-
shipped in Jerusalem, overthrow any king or nation who
defies this command.’
Thus in the sixth year of the reign of Darius, the rebuilding of the temple was completed.

Why the Jews in Jewish religion — Starting to rebuild the temple
December 30, 2010
Why the Jews In Jewish religion — With Cyrus’s permission, the Israelites sent food, drink and
olive oil to the cities of Tyre and Sidon, in exchange for
cedars from Lebanon; these were taken by sea to Joppa. So a
month after arriving in Jerusalem, the Israelites began to
rebuild the temple; and the Levites over twenty years of age
supervised the work.
While the foundation stones were laid, the priests dressed
in their sacred robes, and blew trumpets, while the Levites
clashed cymbals. Then they sang God’s praises, repeating the
refrain: The Lord is good, and his love for Israel is eternal.’
The people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord. The older
priests, Levites and heads of clans had seen the first temple;
and as they watched the foundation stones being laid for the
new temple, they wept aloud with joy.
Ezra 3.7b-8a, IOa, I r-12a

Why the Jews in Jewish Religion — Naboth’s vineyard
December 29, 2010
Why the Jews in Jewish religion — Near King Ahab’s palace was a vineyard, owned by a man
named Naboth. One day Ahab offered to buy the vineyard, so
that he could grow vegetables there. Naboth replied: ‘I
inherited this vineyard from my ancestors; the Lord forbid that
I should let you have it.’ Ahab became very sullen and angry;
he lay on his bed, facing the wall, and he refused to eat.
When his wife Jezebel discovered the reason for his
behaviour, she arranged for Naboth to be accused of blas-
phemy, and of cursing the king. So Naboth was stoned to
death. Then she said to Ahab: `Naboth is dead. Go and take
possession of the vineyard which he refused to sell to you.’ Ahab immediately went to the vineyard.
Elijah heard what had happened, and, at the Lord’s com-
mand, went to the vineyard, and confronted Ahab. When he
saw Elijah, Ahab exclaimed: `So, my enemy, you have found
me!’ Elijah answered: `I have found you because you do evil
in the Lord’s sight. The Lord will bring disaster on you.’
Three years later King Ahab went into battle against the
king of Syria. During the battle an arrow pierced Ahab be-
tween sections of his armour. While the battle raged, he was
propped up in his chariot, with blood running down onto
the floor of the chariot. In the evening he died, and his body
was taken away for burial. His chariot was washed in a pool
where prostitutes bathed; and dogs licked up his blood.
