Any Ginsberg/Burroughs/Kerouac poems with biblical or mythological references?

Perhaps it seems like an odd question to ask, but I've got to write a paper on a specific poem with a Biblical or Mythological reference contained in it. I'd rather write about a poem by one of these three guys if possible, and I figured some of you may be more familiar with them than I am...

Geez, there are hundreds of Ginsberg poems with Biblical references.

& mythological references. If you just page through a large collection of his works, you should be able to find some.

"Yahweh and Allah Battle"? (I think that's from Mind Breaths, but it could have been from earlier.)

The whole second section of Howl goes on and on about Moloch, but it's not particularly interesting compared to the first part of the poem, imo.
