Excerpt: An ofan for Pesaḥ Sheni in tripartite stanzas. Each stanza begins with a citation of Numbers 9:12-14, then an acrostic spelling out "the son of Avraham the priest, ḥazaq." . . .
This is part two of a five-part series of yotsrot for Pesaḥ Sheni (which the author literally just finished the night of).

Let it not remain of them… (Numbers 9:12)

אֹפַן אֶת־שִׁירוֹ שָׁח בָּרוּךְ הוּא עַד־נֵֽצַח |
Like all the laws of pesaḥ, (Numbers 9:12)
each Wheel-angel recites its song — blessed be They forever! |

רוֹאֶה אֶת־זְהֹר הַכֹּהֵן עַל־הַר הֹר |
And the man who is pure (Numbers 9:13)
sees the luminance of the priest on Mt. Hor.[1] Aharon, the high priest who officiated over festival sacrifices. |

מַלְאֲכֵי הֲמוֹנַי הֵם יַשְׁלִֽיחוּ מִפָּנַי |
For a sacrifice to the Cause (Numbers 9:13)
Angels of my myriads send it forth from before me. |

כְּאֶזְרָח אַל־תְּאַתְגֵּר הָס שׂוֹנֵא וְתִסָּגֵר |
And if a stranger dwells among you (Numbers 9:14)
like a native, do not challenge. Hush, hateful one, and be shut up! |

נְטֹהַר טְהוֹרָה מֻבְטַחַת חָזָק וְרַב אַל־נִפְחַת |
A single law (Numbers 9:14) —
we will be cleansed in promised purity, strong and mighty, let us not decrease. |
וְהַחַיּוֹת יְשׁוֹרֵֽרוּ וּכְרוּבִים יְפָאֵֽרוּ
וּשְׂרָפִים יָרֹֽנּוּ וְאֶרְאֶלִּים יְבָרֵֽכוּ פְּנֵי כׇּל־חַיָּה וְאוֹפַן וּכְרוּב לְעֻמַּת שְׂרָפִים לְעֻמָּתָם מְשַׁבְּחִים וְאוֹמְרִים: בָּר֥וּךְ כְּבוֹד־יְהֹוָ֖ה מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ |
And the Creature-angels compose and the Mount-angels praise
and the Fire-angels cheer and the Altar-angels bless, the face of each Creature-angel and Wheel-angel and Mount-angel facing the Fire-angels, facing them, praising, and saying: blessed be the glory of the Cause from Their place! |
