יֵשׁ חוּץ
וְלוֹ אִשָּׁה וַיִּוָּלְדוּ לוֹ אַחַת בֵּן וְאַחַת בַּת
וַיִּשְׁכֹן יוֹסֵף בְּבִית בִּיְרוּשָׁלִַ֫͏ם
וְלוֹ חַיּוֹת ׃ וְלוֹ סוּס וְסוּסָה וְלוֹ פַּר וּפָרָה וְלוֹ אַ֣יִל וְכֶּ֫בֶש
וְלוֹ שֻׁלְחָן וִפְרִי
וְלוֹ מִטָּה
אֶרְכֹּב אֶת־רִכְבִּי
There was a man
And his name was Joseph
and Joseph lived in a city
The name of that city was called Jerusalem
Jerusalem was a great city
Jerusalem was a city on a hill
And he had a wife and there was born for him one son and one daughter.
And Joseph dwelt in a house in Jerusalem.
And he had animals. He had a horse and mare, a bull and cow, and a ram and lamb.
And he had a table and fruit.
And a bed!
