Prologue
Deuteronomy 36:18 - 24
18 “Ye shall not accept wages of a harlot or the price of a dog into the house of the LORD your G-d for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your G-d.
19 “So sayeth the LORD your G-d, ’Ye Priests, accept them neither within nor under the house of thy LORD.
20 ’Ye who disobey, shall the Almighty thrice correct. 21 ’By Eden’s Serpent shall shame be disclosed upon thee, as upon Adam.
22 ’Like Daniel, in the oven shall thine enemies enclose thee.
23 ’And as was Job, to the Evil One shall the Almighty depose ye.
24 ‘Then as a slave bound and led by beasts to judgment, shall crimes of My unfaithful servant be exposed to all’.”
