The Levites Confession
“Yes forty years did you sustain them in the wilderness so that they lacked nothing; their clothes wore not out, and their feet swelled not. In addition, you gave them kingdoms and nations and divided them into corners so that they possessed the land of Sihon, and the lands of the kings of Heshbon and the land of the king of Og of Bashan. Their children also you multiplies as the stars of heaven; and you brought them into the land wherein you promised to their fathers to possess. And so the children went in and possessed the land and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land the Canaanites and gave them unto your hands, with the kings and the people of their land that they might deal with them as they would. And they took strong cities, and a fat land; and possessed houses full of all goods, wells dug, vineyards and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance; so they did eat and were filled, and became fat; and delighted themselves in Thy great goodness. Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against Thee, and cast Thy law behind their backs; and slew the prophets who testified against them, and urged them to turn their faces to Thee; and they did provoke thee greatly.” [ to be continued.]
