After God helped Moses and his people escape from Egypt
God explained the following edict
Travel to the promised land and I will care for y’all and provide
After years of wandering in the dessert the tribes thought God and Moses had lied!
When food ran low, each morning God provided manna bread
This kept them fed but soon they wanted some meat instead!
So God sent the Israelites a bunch of quail
It tasted just like chicken, everybody had pounds by the pail!
Still deep in the desert, the tribes begged Moses for some water to drink
Moses prayed to God cuz’ these ‘Hebrews’ nagging brought him to the brink!
God told Moses to tap a rock lightly with his staff
He struck it twice (hard) in haste, frustration, and wrath
A river of fresh water flowed, cold, clean, and refreshing
But the Israelites still complained about everything, which slowed their progression
So God sent a swarm of snakes to bite and teach each a lesson
They got bit quick, then got real sick
But God was merciful and told Moses to gather a bunch of sticks
And fashion a snake statue
People were instantly healed if Moses pointed it right at you
This journey continued for 40 years for every, man, woman, and child
God, life, lessons, blessings, and complaints somewhere in the wild...
