The Deer of Israel Is Slain Upon Your Altars

The Deer of Israel Is Slain Upon Your Altars

Opening to a lament for the loss of the people's children in war (The Lion of Honor).

("Israel, my people, is fallen upon your high places. How are the mighty fallen? Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the Amalekites exult. On the mountains of Gilboa there is no dew nor rain" - 2 Samuel 19 (David's lamentation on the death of Saul and Jonathan near Gilboa), and so: "The man of the mountain./ The Ephronites who sing/ "On his high places he is holy" - Leah Goldberg/ The Broken Pottery, and so on: "And in that day/ In him the lion of Israel went up/ On the high places of Sephar-/ Moab was likened" - Nathan Jonathan/ On that day, and so on: "This is still a matter and this is coming, but/ Jubilation on your high places he is holy" - Immanuel Tzabar/ On the Knowledge of the Place)
