On the night before he fulfilled the mirror promise,
Ushaa Shialom hosted a farewell dinner for his friends.

They were eating the meal Chutch Mim told the captives to eat
when they were preparing for the Day of Escape.

They talked of many things as they drank the red wine
and ate the bread made without yeast.

They drank the red wine and ate the bread made without yeast.

“What is the meaning of this wine” they asked,
“What is the meaning of this wine?

Ushaa Shialom told his friends,
“This is the blood of the mirror promise.
This is the blood of the final lamb to die;
the lamb that Aba Gvoah told his son that the maker would provide.

This is blood of the Lamb of Escape that Aba Gvoha told his son the maker would provide.

“What is the meaning of this bread?” they asked,
“What is the meaning of this bread?

Usha Shialom said, “This is the bread of Good News. This is the bread of The Good News that the maker has fulfilled the mirror promise and guaranteed your escape.”

The maker has guaranteed your escape.

“But why do we leave out the yeast?” they asked,
“Why do we leave out the yeast when we make the bread?
Why do we make sure there is no yeast in the bread of the Good News?”

This is the bread of Good News.
This is the bread of what the maker said.
This is the bread of the maker’s living voice, his living voice.

The yeast is the traditions of men.
The yeast is the personal beliefs of men.
The yeast is what a man would do if he was the maker.

The yeast is what men will tell you the maker said,
that the maker never said.

Ushaa Shialom said, “Beware the yeast, beware the yeast, beware the yeast!”
There is great danger in the yeast! Even the tiniest bit you choose will ruin the Good News.”

“Even the tiniest bit you choose will ruin the Good News.”

And then they asked him the meaning of the blood on the doorposts, the blood that was splashed left and right, just above the height of a man’s shoulders.

And then they asked him the meaning of the blood on the doorposts, the blood that was splashed above the head, where it dripped upon the ground.

When they asked Usha Shialom about the blood, he said,
“I will show you.”
