Numbers 26 - Numbers 36

When Lego characters go bad, they take solace in knowing that there are cities of refuge.
26.
I gotta be honest, I skimmed this chapter. Some great names in there, though. How'd you like to be named "Hepher"?
27.
Women had rights, too.
Joshua was a good dude. I wonder what Caleb thought, though. He probably wasn't too put off, since he was a good dude, too.
28.
Nothing to say.
29.
I like the parts about doing no work. You don't have to tell me twice.
30.
So...keep your word.
31.
So they had a fighting force of 600,000 but only took 12,000 and still cleaned up. See what happens when God is with you?
That's a lot of plunder. Seems a little brutal, except these people were a bunch of total idolaters.
32.
I wonder if the rest of the Israelites were jealous that these guys got to settle a little early. I'd hold out for the milk and honey.
33.
Lots of wandering with a lot of idol-smashing at the end.
34.
Good fences make good neighbors (it's good to have boundaries).
35.
Places of refuge...like Australia.
So apparently if you want to kill someone, drop a big rock on them and make it seem accidental.
36.
And then there was Deuteronomy. Numbers was a blast. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
