A useless significance

" ... the choirboys sing from a hymnal displaying neither the text nor the music of their song, but the biblical command requiring them to sing. Words bathe in the grey light of what seems a useless significance." (The Master and His Emissary, Iain McGilchrist, 2009; page 317; quoting Koerner, The Reformation of the Image, 2004). 
This sounds like how ChZL moved avodat ha'mishkan into avodat ha'peh
