The books of the Bible comprise one Book
Which is the God-breathed Holy Word,
Holy men wrote as God had inspired
Though many still consider this absurd.
How men think is not the principle thing
It’s still the Best Instruction Before Leaving Earth,
The Bible I mean; you had
better get one
For in it you can find your rebirth.
Genesis is the book of beginnings
That tells of the creation of the world,
Of humanity’s fall and redemption’s plan
And ends with the death of a man.
Exodus is the coming out of Egypt
And a forty years trek in the wilderness
Arriving near Canaan after most had died
Only Joshua and Caleb had passed that test.
In Leviticus God gives his
law to His children
To govern their sacrifices and festivals,
The Sabbath also is instituted
As the mark or sign of God’s people.
In Numbers there is an
ordered census
Including the numbering of the tribes,
The Israelites had moved from Sinai to Moab
Where a second census was prescribed.
Deuteronomy is a re-statement of the law
To give direction to the new generation,
Moses passes on the leadership to Joshua
Then climbs Pisgah for his pending graduation.
