Canticle on the Eptarchy
XXXVII
He shall be a wild man:
His hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him:
And he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.
Searching for water, we found it by day’s end; taking hydration,
Thinking it something deserving we took of it something rapacious
Plunging ourselves in the brook; and we praised God, that in creation
Such was our honor to ford of the same grand riverl’nds spacious
That He had visited first to our fathers, and thus with his story,
Eager the rabbi related, Recall from before, in Terah’s mind
Nimr’d was building his own execration, and hardly his glory;
Though he, finding himself all the graceful regret of a rock slide,
Greeted his son and convinced him to better delay his migration
Only by walking along to a place to the north of the same land,
Syrian-bound’ried and dry, it was later Haran’s allocation,
Also along with Terah, and the caravan shifted on gray sand,
Battered by sun and replete with the curse of the earth as they perspired,
Abram in tow with his nephew and servant and father and others,
Where they could half-way meet with their king, which never transpired,
That in the time they were bivouacked, resting among all their brothers,
Babel had scattered with languages blended and burst into pieces,
Nimr’d unthroned and the villainous tribes of the East had descended
Feasting on spoils and slaves, and so when it all finally ceases
Only the message of what was intact from the city upended
Made it to bear on their camp, and Terah with a mourned consternation
Felt it his duty to fortify, keeping his sons in his presence
While he gathered alliances near him to send to his nation,
Going from kingdom to kingdom and each time, greeted with presents,
