      איזהו קטן כל שאינו יכול לרכוב על כתפיו של אביו ולעלות מירושלים להר הבית דברי בית שמאי ובית הלל אומרים כל שאינו יכול לאחוז בידו של אביו ולעלות מירושלים להר הבית שנאמר שלש רגלים

But the house of Hillel say, anyone who is not able to take hold of his father's hand, and to go up from Jerusalem to the mountain of the House, as it is said, "three times."
    • 1967, Naomi Shemer, Jerusalem of Gold 20–23:
      אֵיכָה יָבְשׁוּ בּוֹרוֹת הַמַּיִם / כִּיכָּר הַשּׁוּק רֵיקָה / וְאֵין פּוֹקֵד אֶת הַר הַבַּיִת / בָּעִיר הָעַתִּיקָה.
      'eikhá yav'shú borót hamáyim / kikár hashúk reiká / v'éin pokéd 'et har habáyit / ba'ír ha'atiká.
      How the cisterns have dried out / The marketplace is empty / And there is no one visiting the Temple Mount / In the Old City.
    • 1967, Naomi Shemer, Jerusalem of Gold 44–47:
      חָזַרְנוּ אֶל בּוֹרוֹת הַמַּיִם / לַשּׁוּק וְלַכִּיכָּר / שׁוֹפָר קוֹרֵא בְּהַר הַבַּיִת / בָּעִיר הָעַתִּיקָה.
      khazárnu 'el borót hamáyim / lashúk v'lakikár / shofár koré b'har habáyit / ba'ír ha'atiká.
      We have returned to the cisterns / To the market and to the square / A shofar is sounding on the Temple Mount / In the Old City.
