O Marvelous Bridge over which the ancients crossed from death unto life!
O Ladder from earth to heaven, through you the original creation was renewed!
You became Adam's Hope, when he was driven out from paradise, you have the Meekness of Abel who was killed through unrighteousness, the Kindess of Seth, the Righteous Works of Enoch, Noah's Ark through which he was saved from the destruction of evil, the Blessing and Portion of Shem, the Tent of Abraham, Isaac's Savor, Jacob's Ladder, Joseph's Comforter, the Tablets of Moses, the Bush at Sinai, the Bells on the garment of Aaron the priest, his Rod which sprouted and blossomed and bore fruit, Joshua's Stone of testimony, the Fleece of Gideon, Samuel's Jar of Ointment and Horn of Oil, Jesse's Root of which he boasted, the Chariots of Amminadib, David's Harp, Solomon's Crown, the Enclosed Garden, the Sealed Spring, Elijah's golden measure, Elisha's cruse, the Conceiving Virgin whom Isaiah prophesied, the first to give birth without intercourse of which Daniel spoke, Habakkuk's Mountain of Pharan, Ezekiel's Closed Doorway in the East, Micah's Place in Bethlehem from which the Law goes forth, the Land of Ephratah, Silondis' Tree of Life, the Healer of Nahum's wounds, Zechariah's Rejoicing, the Clean Hall of Malachi....
