After the foibles
of the Midianites – time
to do some smitin’

Nothing stops us from
making babies – Over six
hundred thousand now

Plots are divided
We all get a piece of a
land we’ve never seen

this world, endows Joshua
with a promotion
V
Summertime….and it’s
time to lean more about the
laws of sacrifice
VI
Don’t burn the fruit – Don’t
put the goat in the fruit bowl
So many details

Is tuning guitars
considered mundane work ask
all the song leaders.
