God is in the numbers

A poem or start thereof in which numbers from the bible are used.


one ahundred and forty-four thousand
doth not leave the ninety and nine ain the wilderness
21 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight.
Again, the duty of the president over the office of aelders is to preside over ninety-six elders
The children of Gibeon, ninety and five.
ninety and four years from the coming of Christ

aThen shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten bvirgins, which took their clamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine ain the wilderness, and go after that which is blost, until he find it?

7 I say unto you, that likewise ajoy shall be in heaven over one bsinner that crepenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
And Abraham acircumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the aseventh day is the bsabbath of rest, an holy cconvocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the dsabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year
five nails
forty days and forty nights
Jonah three days in the whale
2 other theives or whatever
1 sot
