Are you sitting for this one?! Our Sages say that the sailors recited a
Psalm when they brought the mighty cedar trees for Solomon's Temple. Psalm 93:4
describes "the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea," and then
speaks of the Lord's house, the "dwelling of holiness." As part of their route,
the sailors surely passed the northern sea border of Rosh Hanikra, and heard the
crashing of the waves into the rock. They must have marveled at the beauty and
power of the sea, and praised God for their participation in the building of His
great house. Learn more and see the Bible come to life with the Israel Bible.
