Anyway,
it is for Thàt Reason
('eternal THEOKRATIA'knipoog
that only the high priest {almost 20 ages ago!}
can enter the Holy of Holiex, & òn ónly one day a year,
Yom Kippur, the "Day of Atonement", when 'all the sins of Israel are wiped clean'?
On this day, the high priest can come 'into the presence of G d to atone for the whole nation'!
If hé 'ìs worthy of G d's blessing, Israel's sins are forgiven'! If hé ìs nòt, a rope tied to his waist ensures
that 'when G d strikes him dead', he can be dragged out of the Holy
of Holies without anyone else defiling the sanctuary!

Of course, on this day, the high priest does die,
though not, it would seem, by the hand of G d. The priestly blessings complete & the SHEMA sùng
(hear, o ISRAEL: THE Lord ìs our G d, THE Lòrd alóne!"knipoog, the high priest Jonathan steps away from the altar
& walks down the ramp into the Temple's outer courts?
The moment he arrives at the Court of Gentiles
he is swallowed up by
a frenzy of exaltation
...

The Temple guards
form a barrier of purity around him,
protecting the high priest from the contaminating hands of the masses.
Yet it ìs easy for the assassin to track him! He does not need to follow
the blinding glare of his bejeweled vestments.

Hé need only listen
for the jingle of the bells
dangling from the hem
of his robe!

The peculiar melody
is the surest sign that
the high priest
is coming.

THE
high priest
is near
...
