LXXXIX. Joshua, Chap. I. Ver. 1. 2. Chap. II.
Rahab and the Spies.
Entomb'd in Moab's Valley Moses lies;
Jehova bids the Valiant Joshua rise;
Second in Honour fill his Vacant Place,
And to their happy Seats conduct the chosen Race:
The Prudent General's Thoughts and Care no less,
Tho' Heav'n itself assures him of Success:
Two Spies to neighb'ring Jericho he sent,
Nor undiscover'd thro' the Guards they went:
The jealous King appriz'd of their Intent,
With speed his Guards to faithful Rahab sends,
But Rahab's House conceals her Hebrew Friends:
The Souldiers hope in vain their Prey to find,
Pour'd thro' the Eastern Gate as swift as Wind,
In vain pursuing those who staid behind;
To whom their Fair Preserver thus begins:
Jehova bids the Valiant Joshua rise;
Second in Honour fill his Vacant Place,
And to their happy Seats conduct the chosen Race:
The Prudent General's Thoughts and Care no less,
Tho' Heav'n itself assures him of Success:
Two Spies to neighb'ring Jericho he sent,
Nor undiscover'd thro' the Guards they went:
The jealous King appriz'd of their Intent,

But Rahab's House conceals her Hebrew Friends:
The Souldiers hope in vain their Prey to find,
Pour'd thro' the Eastern Gate as swift as Wind,
In vain pursuing those who staid behind;
To whom their Fair Preserver thus begins:
“Too well we know the weight of Canaan's Sins:
“Your Title and Possession Heav'n secures;
“Yours are our Cities, and our Land is Yours:
“A Panic Fear does every Breast invade,
“We faint, we melt, of Israel's Arms afraid.
“We've heard how God did you thro' Seas convey
“While parting Waters show'd your wond'rous way:
“What you to Sibon and to Og have done,
“Trembling we hear, and make their Fates our own:
“Since then with hazard of my Life conceal'd,
“Nor to the threatning cheated Guards reveal'd,
“The Mercy I have shown you, let me find,
“And to my Father's House be just and kind.
“Swear by the Pow'r that loves your Nation Swear
“The hungry Sword their precious Lives shall spare:
They did, then o'r the Wall she lets 'em down,
They to the Mountain flee, and leave the Town:
Three Days conceal'd in Palm-Tree Groves they lay
Almost impervious to the All-searching Day;
Then fording Jordan, to the Camp repair;
To Joshua and the rest the joyful news they bear.
“Your Title and Possession Heav'n secures;
