1 All Hebrew males were to be drown'd.
2 Moses born, sav'd in th' Ark;
3 From bush on flame is told God's name,
4 And wonders sent to work.
5 By Pharoah Israel's task'd, and cries,
6 JEHOVAH comfort speaks.
7 Moses the flood doth turn to blood;
8 Frogs, lice, and flies he makes.
9 Contagious murrain, boil, and hail,
10 Locusts and darkness reign;
11 Bids jewels borrow against the morrow,
12 Jews expell'd, first-born slain.
13 Dismissed they march with Joseph's bones,
14 Pharoah pursues, is drown'd;
15 At first they sing; then murmuring,
16 Quails sent and manna found.
17 Even the rock affords them drink
18 Jethro to scheme is driven;
19 God's thunders make mount Sinai quake,
20 The Ten Commandments given.
21 For servants, and man-slayers, laws,
22 With many more besides;
23 The seventh-years rest. Three yearly feasts,
24 Moses in mount abides.
25 Gifts ask'd for tent, ark, mercy-seat,
26 Boards, curtains, bars, and vail,
27 Oil, altar, court, with hangings for't,
28 Priests robes and pectoral [1]
29 How priests must consecrated be,
30 Anointed and perfum'd.
31 Bezaleel inspir'd with skill,
32 The golden calf's consum'd.
33 Jehovah's anger Moses stays,
34 New tables made and brought;
35 The people bring free-offering;
36 Boards, curtains, bars are wrought.
37 Knops, flowers, ark, table, mercy-seat,
38 And altar are prepar'd;
39 Priests garments too doth Moses view,
40 The tabernacle's rear'd.
[1] The breast-plate of judgment for the High-Priest
_LEVITICUS_
1 A Ritual of burnt-offerings,
2 Meat-off'rings, ordinance;
3 Off'rings of peace, and sacrifice,
4 For sins of ignorance.
5 Burnt-offerings for sins unknown,
6 For sins premeditated;
7 Off'rings of peace, and trespasses,
8 Aaron is consecrated.
9 Confirm'd is Aaron by God's flame,
10 Strange fire his wrath excites;
11 What sorts of meat may not be eat,
12 For child-birth the due rites.
13 Directions leprosy to know,
14 To cleanse it in what case;
15 Off'rings for less uncleannesses,
16 High priest in holy place.
17 Eating of blood prohibited,
18 Unlawful marriage blam'd;
19 Laws manifold again are told,
20 And shameful sins are nam'd.
21 Forbidden priests to mourn are,
22 Uncleannesses disowned;
23 Sabbaths of rest, and yearly feasts,
24 Blasphemers to be stoned.
25 Great seventh-year-sabbath: jubilee,
26 Blessings and curses given;
27 Vows how esteemed, and how redeem'd.
Here chapters twenty-seven.
_NUMBERS_
1 All Israel number'd by their tribes,
2 To each their place assign'd;
3 Levites succeed in first-born stead,
4 Their services defin'd.
5 By what rules jealousy was try'd,
6 The Naz'rites law is stated
7 Princes oblation at Dedication [2].
8 The Levites consecrated.
