Bs''d Rabbi Eliezer said: Anyone who involves himself with Perek Shirah in this world, merits saying it in the World-to-Come, as it says, “Then Moshe will sing”; it does not say “sang,” but “will sing” in the World-to-Come.

Rabbi Eliezer said: Anyone who involves himself with Perek Shirah in this world, merits saying it in the World-to-Come, as it says, "Then Moshe will sing"; it does not say "sang," but "will sing" in the World-to-Come.



אָמַר רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר, כָּל הָעוֹסֵק בְּפֶּרֶק שִׁירָה בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶה זוֹכֶה וְאוֹמְרָה לְעוֹלָם הַבָּא שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״אָז יָשִׁיר מֹשֶׁה״ – ״שָׁר״ לֹא נֶאֱמַר אֶלָּא ״יָשִׁיר״ לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא׃

[Yalkut Shimoni, end of Psalms:] The Sages said concerning King David that when he completed the book of Psalms, he became proud. He said before the blessed Holy One, "Is there any creature you have created in your world that says more songs and praises than I?" At that moment a frog happened across his path, and it said to him: "David! Do not become proud, for I recite more songs and praises than you. Furthermore, every song I say contains three thousand parables, as it says, 'And he spoke three thousand parables, and his songs were one thousand five hundred.'[2] And furthermore, I am busy with a great mitsvah, and this is the mitsvah with which I am busy: there is a certain type of creature by the edge of the sea whose sustenance is entirely from [creatures living in] the water, and when it is hungry, it takes me and eats me, such that I fulfill that which it says, 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for you shall heap coals of fire on his head, and YHVH shall reward you'[3]; do not read 'shall reward you' but instead 'shall make him complete you.'"

(ילקוט שמעוני, סוף תהלים) אָמְרוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ ז״ל עַל דָּוִד הַמֶלֶךְ ע״ה בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁסִּיֵים סֵפֶר תְּהִלִים זָחָה דַעַתּוֹ עָלָיו. אָמַר לִפְנֵי הַקָדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא ״יֵשׁ בְּרִיאָה שֶׁבָּרָאתָ בְּעוֹלמְךָ שֶׁאוֹמֶרֶת שִׁירוֹת וְתִשְׁבָּחוֹת יוֹתֵר מִמֶנִי?״ בְּאוֹתָהּ שָׁעָה נִזְרַמְנָה לוֹ צְפַרְדֵּעַ אַחַת וְאָמְרָה לוֹ, דָּוִד! אַל תָּזּוּחַ דַּעְתְּךָ עָלֶיךָ, שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹמֶרֶת שִׁירוֹת וְתִשְׁבָּחוֹת יוֹתֵר מִמֶּךָּ. וְלֹא עוֹר אֶלָּא כָּל שִׁירָה שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹמֶרֶת מְמַשֶּׁלֶת עָלֶיהָ שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים מָשָׁל שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (מלכים א ה:יב) ״וַיְדַבֵּר שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים מָשָׁל וַיְהִי שִׁירוֹ חֲמִשָׁה וָאָלֶף.״ וְלֹא עוֹד אֶלָּא שֶׁאֲנִי עוֹסֶקֶת בְּמִצְוָה גְדוֹלָה, וְזוּ הִיא הַמִּצְוָה שֶׁאַנִי עוֹסֶקֶת בָּהּ – יֵשׁ בִּשְׂפַת הַיָם מִין אֶחָד שֶׁאֵין פַּרְנָסָתוֹ כִּי אִם מִן הַמַיִם וּבְשָעָה שֶׁהוּא רָעֵב נוֹטְלֵנִי וְאוֹכְלֵנִי לְקַיֵים מַה שֶׁנֶאֶמַר (משלי כה:כא-כב) ״אִם רָעֵב שֹׂנַֽאַךָ הַאֲכִילֵהוּ לֶחֶם וְאִם צָמֵא הַשְׁקֵהוּ מָיִם כִּי גֶחָלִים אַתָּה חֹתֶה עַל רֹאשׁוֹ וַיְהֹוָה יְשַׁלֶּם לָךָ״ אַל תִּקְרֵי יְשַׁלֶּם לָךְ אֶלָּא יַשְׁלִימֵהוּ לָךְ׃


גַּן עֵדֶן אוֹמֵר.

On the picture you see WILD SAGE ∫ LANTANA FLOWERS. Studies conducted in India have found that Lantana leaves can display antimicrobial, fungicidal and insecticidal properties. L. camara has also been used in traditional herbal medicines for treating a variety of ailments, including cancer, skin itches, leprosy, rabies, chicken pox, measles, asthma and ulcers. SHE KEEPS MUSQUITOS AWAY AND IS POISONOUS TO DOGS. BUT HUMMINGBIRDS LOVE HER! 
The Garden of Eden is saying:
"Arouse yourself, O north [wind], and come, O south!
Blow upon my garden, let its spices flow out;
let my Beloved come to his garden and eat of its precious fruit."

 The aromatic leaves are used to make a tea.

The ripe black fruits are eaten in handfuls, especially by children as a snack. The sweet tasting drupaceous, fleshy, ovoid fruits are purple or black when fully ripe and about 5 mm long. Some reports mention the toxicity of the unripe fruits.
Lantana essential oil is sometimes used for the treatment of skin itches, as an antiseptic for wounds, and externally for leprosy and scabies.
An infusion of the leaves and flowering tops is used in the treatment of fevers, constipation, tuberculosis, catarrh and bronchitis[.
