Day 3 

The Garden Of Eden is saying, "Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon mygarden that its fragrance may be wafted abroad. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits." (Song of Songs, 4:16)

Gehinnom* is saying, "For he has satisfied the longing soul, and filled the hungry soul with good." (Ps. 107:9)

Yesterday I referred to ancient Jewish speculation about what supports the earth.  The maps and myths of the ancients usually contain vivid reminders that the world we see, the world of everyday experience, depends on and interacts with realms beyond mortal ken.  The mappa mundi of Perek Shira includes the distant realms of paradise and a realm of punishment after death.

The verse ascribed to Gehinnom (usually translated hell) is particularly striking.   Either hell itself is glad for having been fed so regularly and so well, or the sinners in hell are glad because they know their punishment is temporary and purgative.
