In the Bible

 

 

Exodus 6:20

 

Amram took him Jochebed

His father’s sister to wife,

If that were to happen today

That would be bare strife.

 

But that is not all

I have a little more for you,

She bore him Aaron and Moses

Don’t tell me that you knew.

 

Yes!  Amram married his aunt

It’s right there in the Bible,

We must study the genealogies

For this is very vital.

 

 

Deuteronomy 23:12-14

 

If you want to defecate

Be careful where you do it,

Doing it outside of the camp

Should be the general habit.

 

For the Lord walks in the camp

And therein should be holy,

Indiscriminate defecating

Should never ever be.

 

Operate like the cat

And make sure you dig a hole,

Nobody wants to step in your mess

Never be so bold.

 

Plus, if God enters the camp

You don’t want Him to turn away,

Keep the camp clean and tidy

Each and every day.

 

 

 

Proverbs 12:21

 

Bad things happen to good people

That is what we say,

But it appears that Proverbs 12:21

Sees it in a different way.

 

No evil shall happen to the just

But the wicked shall be filled with mischief

Care to give me an explanation?

Is there something that I missed?

 

 

John 2:22

 

What is this passage doing here

So early in the Gospel of John?

Jesus was not yet betrayed

Or to his trials had he gone.

 

He had not yet been crucified

And he certainly was not yet dead

But it says “when he was risen”;

John appears to be way ahead.

 

His disciples remembered then

That he had said this to them,

I hope you are following, my friend,

And that you see my problem.

 

They believed the Scripture and the word

But that was after the fact,

What is this scripture doing here?

Please, can you tell me that?
