Today we got through Genesis 1-11. We have two days to finish the Pentateuch. We're part way through Ezekiel; we may finish the major prophets by Friday, but the minor prophets are not going to happen. On the other hand, we learned about making proper Chinese food, so it's all good.
Studying at night after a day of classes may not be the best idea...I don't think the sacrificial system was meant to be funny, but when you talk about scooping out the innards of the animals...and add sound effects...and have to explain to one of the guys that the bull is, by definition, a male...
We found a way to teach everyone the plagues in order:
2 with water: blood and frogs
2 to annoy people: gnats (or lice) and flies
2 to affect living creatures: dead cattle and boils
2 to destroy the land: hail and locusts
1 for the greatest gods, the sun and moon: darkness
and then death of the first born
We're also working on the Day of Atonement, which seems to include a lot of sacrifices and baths.
We learned the 10 commands forward and backward:
The first 5 we know forward: no other Gods, no idols, no taking God's name in vain, Sabbath, honor your parents.
The last 5 we know backwards, because of David who....
coveted his neighbor's wife, lied about everything, stole her, committed adultery, and had her husband murdered.
Finally, there is the Tabernacle: gold inside, bronze outside, blue and purple linen, goat hair coverings.
And now you, too, are ready for tomorrow's quiz.
