1
The tenth, bright waters are the purity of the generations of Yoshiyahu, king of Yehudah, who alone in that time submitted to the Mighty One with all his heart and all his being.
2
He cleansed the land from carved images, set apart all the vessels that had been defiled, returned offerings to the altar, exalted those showing compassion, honored the wise in understanding, restored the Kohenim to their service, and removed mediums, sorcerers, and those consulting the dead from the land.
3
He not only killed the wicked then living; he brought out from their graves the bones of those dead and burned them with fire.
4
He established appointed celebrations and Shabbats in their set-apartness, burned the defiled with fire, and burned the false prophets who led the people astray. The people who obeyed them while living he cast into the wadi of Qidron and heaped stones over them.
5
He was zealous with the zeal of the Mighty One with all his being and alone stood firm in the Torah in that time, leaving no uncircumcised or wicked one in all the land throughout his days.
6
He shall receive everlasting profit and be praised with the Mighty One above many in the last time.
7
For his sake and for those resembling him were the honored praises spoken to you beforehand created and prepared.
8
These are the bright waters you saw.
