And Elijah turned to the people and lifted up his voice with a shout, “When you meet together to celebrate the feasts, do not serve wine and steak as the pagans. I shall not permit you any longer to come into the assembly with your feet unshod. Let a cloth be woven with an intricate and skilful pattern. Let it be sown into a tube and given to the elders. Let them wear it as a sign and remembrance under their sandals, so that you may remember that you were brought across the red sea on dry land. Remember that your shoes did not wear out, nor did your feet travel unprotected through the wilderness where you wandered in sin those 40 years. Let your food be quiche and your drink Robinson’s barley water all the days of the feast.” And a great cry came up from all the children of Israel, for the yoke of Elijah was hard, and his words as the midday sun in the wilderness.
