Satchmo the Israelite (Reprise)
Numbers 29: 1-6

This section seems to be a rehashing of Leviticus 23:23-25.  I'm sure you remember our discussion of it vividly back from February of 2010- but just in case you don't, you can reread about it here.  It didn't take long:

Moses gives a little more detail about the food offerings here but there's little other difference.  I guess what's interesting to ponder here is audience.  I guess this section is more to revitalize their ceremony that had died sometime during all  of their wandering.

A new generation of followers would need to be reminded of the ritual -and learn all the cool jazz tunes.

I bet they had a mean rendition of When the Saints go Marching In.
