Drunk Bible Study

Today 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.

Today we learn about the tribes of Levi being given to serve Aaron and the priests and how that *almost* makes up for not taking all the first born sons from the other tribes. We also get detailed instructions about which groups of Levites are in charge of maintaining, assembling, and disassembling each part of the Tabernacle.

For today's bonus, we do a little more digging into these numbers that didn't add up. It seems like we might be the only ones asking these important questions. We also cover some theories about how these population numbers can possibly be so large.

Today we start on the book of Numbers! Will there be many numbers in it? Oh yes, there will be many numbers. We also learn about Yahweh's specific instructions for who should sit by whom in the cafeteria, err, around the Tabernacle.

This is it, everybody! We're finishing Leviticus today! Yahweh has some final commands for his people, specifically the severe consequences for not observing the sabbath. Lastly, we get to find out how much we're all worth when sold to the service of Yahweh based on our age and gender... oh boy...

Talmud - writings after the Torah clarifying the rules. We chat about some brutal punishments. History of stoneing and dispel some myths about jubilee and some crop loop holes that allow people to grow and harvest outside of jubilee restrictions such as hydroponics or selling your land to a non-jew for a year. Fascinating stuff.

Yahweh 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.

We read about a couple noteworthy things in this episode so we wanted to dive a little deeper into the Hebrew Calendar, the Sabbath & Shabbat.

Another 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.
