Moses Could Have Used an Editor
Numbers 28:9-10
A short passage with more sacrificial decrees. Every Sabbath, in addition to the burnt and drink offerings discussed last section, they are to offer two perfect lambs a year old. It comes with an extra drink offering and a grain offering.
I wonder why Moses feels so compelled to chronicle all of the detail here. We're nearing the end of Moses' life, so perhaps this was to serve as a reference book for them to insure they're getting the sacrifices right. The sacrifices are likely continuing as the book is written, I assume. So maybe it's just to keep them straight.
Or maybe Moses has a really sick sense of humor. It could be like Andy Kaufman selling tickets for a stand-up performance and reading from The Great Gatsby for a couple of hours. The joke is on them.
And maybe Moses is laughing now. There's some schmuck in Tennessee pouring over all the boring detail in Numbers. HAHAHA- I hope he keeps going.
...and I guess I will.
