Deuteronomy was very repetitive. The things said in this book were often reiterated. Repeated statements were frequented in this book of the Bible, this book of the Bible being Deuteronomy. These repeated statements were often already repeated once before in previous books of the Bible other than the book of Deuteronomy, the book of Deuteronomy having been the repetitive book that I just completed.

My thoughts on the book of Numbers
- it was well named
- I liked the talking donkey story which I had completely forgot existed
- while I laughed reading “Moses was the most humble man to exist on the face of the planet” seeing as Numbers was most likely written by Moses, I definitely wouldn’t have tolerated the Israelites as well as Moses did, so I think he’s allowed to call himself the most humble

All I could think about while reading is how many animals the Israelites (and probably everyone at that time) would have to have at all times that they can make so many sacrifices???
Btw if anyone needs help w an animal sacrifice you can hmu, I'm practically a scholar in this topic now.

How I was expecting Exodus to go:
50% Moses Origin story + the 10 plagues in Egypt
50% Moses and the Israelites walking around
How Exodus went:
25% Moses Origin story + the 10 plagues in Egypt
25% Moses trying to get the Israelites to stop being idiots
50% How to build the Tabernacle in extreme detail 🥲

- Abraham lying to everyone in town saying that Sarah (his wife irl) is just his sister (therefore implying they’re not married to each other). When Abraham was confronted about lying he says “I mean I wasn’t lying, we ARE half siblings”. L Abraham
- “When the twins grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who sat around in tents.“ 25:27
- Jacob: “bro im so hungry can I have some of that stew you’re making?” Esau: “only if you sell me your birthright” Jacob: “Ok yeah sure” 25:29 L both of them honestly
- Abraham’s son Isaac pulling the SAME STUNT w his wife Rebekah. (Fun fact he got caught in his lie because “someone saw Isaac and Rebekah laughing together”. Note to self, you can’t laugh with siblings, only your spouse). L Isaac. 26:6-9
- “I’d rather die than have my son marry a woman from /that/ town” 27:46
- “Behold, my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.” Ch 27:11 (Jacob, the other brother, proceeds to put goat skin on his hands and neck to trick his blind father into thinking he was Esau) ((and it WORKED))
- All of chapter 34. Summary: Sheclem defiles Dimah, Sheclem goes to Dimah’s Dad asking for her hand in marriage. The dad says “F you, you defiled my daughter”. Sheclem says “pretty please???”. The Dad says “fine but only if you get circumcised”. Sheclem actually DOES IT. Then takes Dimah as his wife. Sheclem goes back to his town with Dimah and says “hey everyone!!! You can marry the girls from the next town over if you just get circumcised!!!!”. AND THEY ALL DO IT. Then 2 days later Dimah’s brothers go into the town she’s in and slaughter everyone “while they are sore” (lol) and take Dimah back home. Iconic. W brothers (except maybe they could’ve just killed Sheclem instead of everyone).
- “… these are the sons of…, and these are the sons of…, and these are the sons of…, and this one son discovered hot springs!!!, and these are the sons of…, and these are the sons of…, …” 36:24
- “Guys guys guys, we shouldn’t kill our brother, BUT we SHOULD sell him into slavery” 37:26-27
- Jospeh (the one sold into slavery as previously mentioned) kindly interpreting the cupbearers dream and saying “plz don’t forget about me and plz tell the king to let me out of jail” and then the chapter ends w “Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him”. It’s not until TWO YEARS LATER he remembers and gets Joseph out of jail lol. Ch 40
