David, I felt it should be time for another post from you. Now I have new things to ponder.
In Puerto Rico there is a tiny frog called coqui. I love those little frogs and even had one in my shower for a long time. I made him a safe place with rocks. If I got up in the night I often saw him (or her) on the lavatory in the bathroom.
Thank you for another informative post which gives me more to ponder.
Amazing how God had to spoon-feed everything to the Israelites. I guess after 350 or so years as slaves, the generation Moses liberated had never tasted freedom or known what it was like to self-determine. From our modern viewpoint, at least for me who has lived some degree of freedom in the U.S. all his life, it's hard to identify with them.
And a couple of chapters later, God had to explain what would happen if they broke any of these laws. They needed the explicit penalties they would suffer if they were naughty.
Interested in your translation and take on the last 2 verses of the OT: Malachi 4: 5-6.
I always learn something interesting reading your posts, David. I will need to reread this one. Lots of food for thought. Thanks!
