I doubt I'll be able to keep up as you're moving at such a pace (50 chapters a day, right?!), but I have learned a few things reading your notes and the comments so far. Thanks!
Growing up, I used to wonder why God commanded the killing of women, children and even animals on some occasions. I now believe these people might have been genetically contaminated somehow, possibly by interbreeding with fallen angels (as in Genesis 6). The talk about giants reinforces my belief that it had occurred there in the past.
I didn't remember this verse, as I don't often read through all of Deuteronomy. I was reading recently about "cursed" objects, and that some in the world are actively pursuing these. Mankind really is in a terrible state. I don't know what I'd do if I came across an idol in my room in an Airbnb or somewhere similar - it'd be nice to go Gideon on it, but not sure how well that would reflect on Christ. Probably would either cover a painting with something (or place it on the floor facing the ground or the wall), or turn an idol to face somewhere improminent or "shameful" (e.g. a corner of the room on the floor, the bottom shelf in the toilet and/or facedown on the floor). When I left, I might even leave it covered with a sheet in its place of improminence, to signify my displeasure at its presence.
Amen! Moses in many ways was a foreshadow of Christ who was to come.
I think this should be Deuteronomy 10 verse 16. I only know 'cause this is a memory verse (not because I'm cross-checking everything you write!
) Too often, our hearts are hard and calloused instead of soft and sensitive toward God. Sometimes, I even question if hearts need to be circumcised more than once!
There isn't much written about Zipporah, but I think she's one of my favourite bible women. Probably all these sorts of questions adds to the intrigue!
