9 Cloud guides them: passover renew'd,
10 Two silver trumpets sound;
11 The people lust; quails fall like dust,
12 Miriam is leprous found.
13 Deceitful spies spread false reports,
14 Great murmurings which raise;
15 Breaker of sabbath ston'd to death,
16 Korah's rebellious ways.
17 End strife doth Aaron's budding rod,
18 Priest's charge and salary; [3]
19 Water with ashes the unclean washes,
20 Miriam and Aaron die.
21 Fierce fiery serpents bite the Jews,
22 Balaam's ass reproves him;
23 In vain his skill to curse Israel,
24 To bless the spirit moves him.
25 Good Phinehas' zeal God's wrath atones,
26 Old race all dead but two;
27 In Moses room must Joshua come,
28 Continual offerings due.
29 High offerings for set holy-days,
30 What vows do bind, what not;
31 Revenge on Midian: Balaam slain
32 Both Gad's and Reuben's lot.
33 Israelites journeys forty-two,
34 How Canaan was divided;
35 Six refuge-towns and Levites bounds,
36 Zelophehad's case decided.
[2] Of the Tabernacle.
[3] Their part or portion of all offerings, their wages, or dues.
_DEUTERONOMY_
1 Acts of the Hebrews Moses writes;
2 How Sihon's kingdom fell;
3 How Og was slain: Manasseh's gain.
4 Exhorts them to do well.
5 Bids them the Ten Commandments keep,
6 And God to fear and love;
7 Shun foreign leagues, for fear of plagues,
8 And not ungrateful prove.
9 Confutes their vain self-righteousness,
10 God's mercies represents;
11 And that they should be therefore good,
12 Burn idol-monuments.
13 Deceitful prophets must be ston'd;
14 Clean fishes, birds, and beasts.
15 Each seventh year releases were.
16 All males must keep three feasts.
17 Election of their kings directs.
18 The priest's and Levites dues.
19 Witnesses, land-bounds, refuge-towns,
20 What laws of war to use.
21 First-born is heir, stone stubborn son,
22 Cloths must the sex descry.
23 Of filthiness, vows, trespasses,
24 Divorce, pledge, leprosy.
25 Good weights, just stripes, unmuzzel'd ox,
26 Of first fruits with contrition.
27 Twelve curses count on Ebal-mount,
28 Blessings in opposition.
29 Here Moses calls to covenant.
30 He life and death propounds.
31 To Joshua charge he gives at large;
32 His dying song rebounds.
33 In blessing all the tribes concludes,
34 And dies in Nebo mount.
Thus chapters four and thirty more.
In Deuteronomy count.
_JOSHUA_
1 After meek Moses Joshua rules.
2 Rahab doth spies receive.
3 Jews walk dry shod thro' Jordan's flood,
4 Memorial stones they leave.
5 Both [4] seals renew'd; and Manna ceas'd.
6 Jericho's walls o'erturn'd.
7 Achan for theft of life bereft.
8 Ai taken is and burn'd.
9 Craftily Gibeon gets a league.
10 The sun and moon stand still.
11 With Hazor all the countries fall.
12 Thirty-three kings they kill.
