chapter 25

vs. 1: …at Shittim, the people profaned themselves by whoring with the Moabite women, EQ

The soldiers forgot they were there to slaughter the Moabite nation and without asking permission from the Lord, they partied and had sex with the Moabite women. Israel made sacrifices to their god. And the Lord was pissed.

“Take the leaders and impale them on a stick in the sun and let the vultures eat out their eyes and tear off their cocks. Let the wild dogs eat their flesh.”

Moses told the chiefs to kill anyone who fucked a Midianite slut. Those low life whores with their false god.

Just then, a soldier brought a woman to his tent so that Moses and everyone saw them. Phinehas, grandson of Aaron grabbed up a spear, went into the tent and stabbed them both in the stomach. To gain the favor of Moses. The Lord of compassion.

“Die like a dog. Bitch.”

Vs. 13: It shall be for him and his descendants after him a pact of priesthood for all time, because he took impassioned action for his God, thus making expiation for the Israelites.” EQ

And this is what is called holy terror. The murdering of 24,000 who chose to make love rather than war.

Let us then say: Fuck you, you goddamn priests of holy hate. Fuck your goddamn murder religions. Morons. Myopic murdering sub-apes. You will be left behind by evolution.

When the wrath of God was over, 24,000 were dead. Impaled.

They refer to this as a plague. I guess interspecies murder could be referred to as a plague. No other creature suffers from this sickness.

Perhaps it is one of the growing pains of our species on our way through evolution. One day we won’t have the urge to kill each other. To win the approval of our tyrannical dictators.

Megalomaniacs will learn to rule their inner universe and not dictate over the ignorant.

But it won’t be an easy lesson.

As long as we worship Gods who praise the murderers and plunderers.

“I grant my pact of friendship to Phinehas forever because he murdered two people while having sex. For ever. Blessed are murdering priests. I like you most. Even above the chosen.”

Zimri was the murdered man and Cozhi the murdered woman. Them and 23,998 others.

The Lord spoke.

“They fuck with our soldiers. Kill ‘em all. Every last motherfuckin’ one of them. Man, woman, child. Animal.

Vs. 17: “Assail the Midianites and defeat the.” EQ


chapter 26

So the Lord requested a new census. Fighting aged men. 20+.

And it looked much like the last census. The list of who begat who and how many thousand to what clan.

One might get the impression, if one takes time to ponder the banality of lists of names and numbers.

What was the average number of wives for these chiefs. Jacob had four. Two wives. Two maids. How many did they whore out to royalty.

Was Joseph the son of a foreign king. What’s his name.

And how does any of it matter. Except to illustrate how thin our cultures are. How very infantile we are with our social structures. Most other animals have more stable, humane systems.

Religion of blood cults.

And though most everyone at the last census was dead in the desert.

The soldiers numbered 601,730.

Then the Levites were accounted for. The murdered sons of Aaron remembered. Jochehed, daughter of Levi, born in Egypt, had Aaron, Moses and their sister, Miriam. Not the wife of Aaron. At least I don’t know. Everything was permitted, especially with royalty. Incest was the rule. Pure blood line for the priests.

23,000 of them. Priests. Of various levels.

Caleb and Joshua were the only ones not dead in the desert. Of the leaders. Because they didn’t bitch and were always quick to murder and plunder.


chapter 27

The great great grand children of Joseph had a problem. They were all daughters. Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milch and Tirzah. They went to Moses.

“Our father died in the desert. He wasn’t a cohort of the Korah rebels. Let us not forget Joseph just ‘cause we ain’t sons. Give us some of the land we are going to invade.”

So Moses talked it over with the Lord.

The Lord figured it was okay to honor their claim. He even made another law.

“If a man dies with no sons, the daughters get the inheritance and allotted land. If no decedents, his brothers get his stuff. Land. No brothers, then uncles. If not, the closest relative.”

The Lord reminds Moses that he can’t go to the promise land because he hit the rock when he was to talk the water out of it.

“Well Lord, if I gotta die for my one little sin, fare enough, but let’s appoint a new overlord. The people are like sheep and need a tyrannical megalomaniac dictator.”

“Right you are, Moses. Joshua will take over the command of the Israelites. Do all the necessary pomp before the people. Lay your hands on him. Give him some of your authority. Some must remain with the priests, the fine dressed whores of the war machine. Eleazar, my bastard son, shall talk to me. And the Urim.”

So they made a big show and the people saw that Joshua and Eleazar were to rule over them.
