Read MoreA lot of animals die and men get to tell women what to do. Offerings are discussed at length, and to keep things interesting, Emily practices her speed reading.
Read MoreSome tribes got a lot bigger and others a lot smaller, feminist Israelite women took as a stand, and a new leader is appointed this week. Also, we have a special guest!
Read MoreJoin us as we talk about spirits, prophets, bawdy interludes, and say cheers.
Read MoreToday’s show includes Pokémon, fiery snakes, grass-licking oxen, sheep, and talking donkeys. There's also a few wars and a curse.
Read MoreWill Aaron find being the owner of a budding rod worth it when Yahweh decides to make some new rules?
Read MoreThe earth swallows families whole, princes die in a fire, and a plaque kills 15k people after people question why Aaron and Moses are consider holier than them. Yahweh devises a new plan to pick a leader that leaves Aaron in charge and doesn't seem to comfort anyone.
Read MoreYahweh is generous this week; plagues, rules, stonings, & recipes abound. People learn they'll never get to see the Promised Land.
Read MoreToday is truly filled with action, intrigue, and hot gossip! Aaaaand horrible punishments from Yahweh.
Read MoreIt's action time! (ok, maybe just a little bit) Some things happen, camps are moved, leaders are named, clouds... happen?
Read MoreWe don’t want to spoil it be prepare yourself to learn this particular bit of information VERY WELL.
Read MoreToday we learn some instructions that sound a lot like witchcraft for priests to determine if women were cheating on their husbands. It mostly involves dirty water. We also learn a little about the Nazirites and some of the rules involved in taking that oath.
Read MoreAaron takes an entire tribe into service and Yahweh gives them tasks for transporting and protecting everyone from the Tabernacle.
Read MoreToday we start on the book of Numbers! Will there be many numbers in it? Oh yes, there will. Don't you even worry about that.
Read MoreThis is it, everybody! We're finishing Leviticus today! Yahweh has some final commands for his people...
Read MoreYahweh chats it up with Moses again. Cupcakes…you’ll get it once you read about it. Then we move on to some juicy gossip. We get into a very interesting story that ends in a brutal punishment. We also hear that famous statement an “eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. Listen up farmers, ya gotta take a break in planting your fields so they don’t go barren on you. Also we learn about this super confusing thing called the 50th year Jubilee. Sounds fun…but really it’s just a lot of math and logistics. Oh and also don’t enslave your own people. Enslave other people. Yup, it's in the bible folks.
Read MoreAnother big drinking episode, maybe take baby sips during this one friends. Here we have another confusing reading from Leviticus. The translation of these chapters are rough to say the least. Yahweh gives some more laws to Moses that don’t make a whole lot sense with today's judicial atmosphere. Things like offerings must be male without blemish (blind, broken limbs, maimmed, scurvy, scabbed, wen). Don’t kill baby animals, wait until they grow up a bit. We learn about the Sabbath on the 7th day and also passover. Don’t eat the first of your harvests until you’ve made and offering to Yaweh. The weirdness continues, you'll just have to listen to this one to get it all.
Read MoreSome more random laws coming at ya in these chapters! Some examples - Don't gather fruit that's already dropped from the tree leave them alone for starving people, don't eat meat with blood in it, dont practice sorcery, don't pimp out your daughter, etc. Lots of pretty confusing laws and equally harsh punishments in this one as well. This reading closes with some rules for priests. Also...get ready to drink....a lot!
Read MoreFirst we deal with a little bit of a "I need my own space" kind of situation between Moses and Aaron. Lots of "do not come into my room" type rules. Then we get to hear about eating blood. Yum! Finally, let's talk about sexy bay-beeee! Get ready for a list of sexual relations you are NOT supposed to take part in.
