{"product_id":"hills-of-spices-rena-potok-9780827608269","title":"Hills of Spices: Poetry from the Bible","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful verse from the world's greatest book \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the concluding lines of \u003ci\u003eThe Song of Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, one lover beckons the other to hurry to the \"hills of spices,\" a place rich in fragrances and flavors, a feast for the senses. This lovely new collection invites us all to feast our senses on poetry from \u003ci\u003eThe Song of Songs\u003c\/i\u003e and from many other passages of the Bible. Some of these, like \u003ci\u003eThe Song of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDavid's Lament\u003c\/i\u003e, are well-known classics; others, such as surprising poetic moments in \u003ci\u003eIsaiah and Ezekiel\u003c\/i\u003e, will, for many, be delightful new discoveries. Verses from the pages of Genesis, Exodus, Ecclesiastes, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Proverbs, Psalms, and many other biblical books are here, with the JPS English translation sitting across the page from the original biblical Hebrew. The poems are organized thematically--Blessings and Curses, Laments, Love Songs, Prayers and Songs of Praise, among others--making it easy to find the right verse to fit the mood or need. There is an appendix listing the poems by biblical book, chapter, and verse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rena Potok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0827608268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780827608269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewish Publication Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.80w x 0.62d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rena Potok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013819674879,"sku":"9780827608269","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01751f63-35b9-4f3a-a4f5-9ae7b125171c.jpg?v=1767744970","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hills-of-spices-rena-potok-9780827608269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
