Thomas Morris’s Reviews > Holy Bible: New International Version > Status Update

At deuteronomy 2

working out % read is a bit difficult, so i’m not sure

At Numbers 16

Moses has definitely had the most page-time of any person so far

Some laws are quite interesting: what is and is not clean, and how to practice dermatology and epidemiology

Some are less interesting, like how to decorate a tent or dress

Overall, a holy person should always be killing an animal, burning food, and killing other people

Killing is also explicitly forbidden

Yeast is the real villain

God promised the land of israel (much bigger than modern israel) to abraham’s children (include ishmael and isaac)

ishmael: father of arabs

god later changes israel to only be for isaac (no reason given)

Isaac: father of Esau and Jacob (father of Jews)

Jacob tricks his Esau out of his inheritance and lets his mother take the curse for him as punishment

shambles from god (common theme throughout genesis)

At genesis 24

a lot of sacrificing things

a group of men wanted to rape the guests at a man’s house

the man said no, but offered the group his daughters instead

Upto genesis 7

Genesis is not a very feminist book
