How glorious was the appearance of the high priest When he came forth safe from the Holy of Holies! Like the expanded canopy of heaven was the appearance of the Kohen Like the lightning that emanates from the splendor of the divine beings was the appearance of the Kohen Like the blue thread in the fringes of the four corners of the garments was the appearance of the Kohen Light the image of the rainbow formed in the clouds was the appearance of the Kohen |
