Chukas

 בס״ד

Chukas

red cows burned to ashes,

copper serpents that cure,

rivers of blood flow,

from where, they’re unsure.

waters of strife that rush from a stone

when struck, bli discussion,

no way to atone.

safe passage refused by

the king of Edom,

Moav defeated, and so is Sichon,

their cities are taken, and stripped

to the bone,

loot relinquished to Heaven,

and none taken home.

Og is unseated, that hulk from Bashan,

no future throne shall

his bulk rest upon.

in the thick of this, Aaron,

is called to return,

not to enter that good land,

we failed to discern.
