Text
Psalm 50:10-13:
For every beast of the forest is mine, Behemoth on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains and Ziz of the field (ידשׂ זיז) is mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world and all that is in it is mine. Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
