Ruth was a really nice story

wow the Song of Deborah is fucking epic

Joshua had a lot more bloodshed than I was expecting.

Lotta cuckoo rules in Deuteronomy, and it's wild that Moses went all that way but didn't even get to cross the Jordan, but this is a p good way to end the Torah.

Already liking Deuteronomy more than I thought I would. It's super interesting to think of it as a revision of Jewish laws that is posing as a historical account (with all of the anachronistic stuff included maybe on purpose??) of Moses talking to the second generation of Israel before they go to Canaan.
