of the universe...»; Then, with his mind's eye first

of lentils he prayed, «who created
different kinds of seeds...,» and for the plate
of onions and radishes, «who created
different kinds of herbs...» For the locusts fried in a batter
of honey and flour, he continued, «by whose word all things exist...»; for the bowl
of figs, «who created the
fruit of the tree...»; for the wine, «who created the
fruit of the vine...» And for the baked fish, he exclaimed, «Blessed be the One who created this baked fish; how beautiful it is!»
