In Context

17Let the kohanim, the mesharetim of Hashem, weep 1 between the Ulam and the Mizbe'ach, 1 and let them say: 1 Spare Thy people, Hashem, 1 and make not Thine nachalah (inheritance) an object of scorn, 1 a byword among the Goyim. 1 Why should they say among the peoples: 1 Where is their G-d? 1
