| Saba | 498 | 413 | יחון אל צור | This pizmon (SABA, page 413), whose title can be translated as "The Rock Will Find Favor," is a song associated with the Berit Milah. What makes this song unique is that it is traditionally chanted while the actual circumcision is taking place. One of the earliest versions of this song can be found in Mahzor Aram Soba (1527, 1560), and it's four stanzas spell the author's first name: Yosef (יוסף). This song is a prayer for God to find favor for this new baby boy who is about to enter His covenant; the Berit Milah circumcision that takes place on the baby's eighth day. The second stanza says that the knife will be taken to remove the baby's foreskin, and this will redeem him from any decrees of pain, danger, and trouble in life. The third stanza says that the baby will be blessed with success (like a strong lion) and wisdom (like King Solomon). The fourth and final stanza continues with a prayer that God will help this baby in merit of the blood of the Berit and will command His angels to always protect him. This melody, which is described more like a chant, cannot be applied to any of the pieces of prayers. Attiah Manuscript Mahzor Aram Soba 1527 |
