יהודה הלוי - יְפֵה מַרְאֶה פְּקַח עַיִן Judah Halevi - Open your eyes to a delicious delicacy




a bowl inscription
 
יְפֵה מַרְאֶה פְּקַח עַיִן רְאֵה אֶת-נְעִים שֹׁמֶן אֲשֶׁר שַׂמְתִּי לְנֶגְדָּךְ
בְּטֶרֶם יֶחֱזֶה אֹתוֹ וְיָרוּץ לְאָכְלֵהוּ אֲשֶׁר ישֵׁב לְצִדָּךְ

 

Open your eyes to a delicious delicacy, see a succulent meal set before you, 
before you rush to consume what is placed there without having enjoyed its presentation.

translated into English by Mark F Westergreen
