Satchmo the Israelite

Leviticus 23: 23-25

Incredibly short section. God tells the Israelites that on the first day of the seventh month there is to be a sacred assembly - a day of rest, trumpet blasts will mark the occasion. And since July 1st is my anniversary, it's especially cool.

A fire offering is also to be made.

I love the idea that a day of rest is commemorated with a trumpet blast. Give me a Saturday and some Louis Armstrong on my ipod. The fire offering, I'm not so sure about.
