30:50 – Were the giants called “Anakim” in Hebrew members of the giant race called “Anunnaki” in Sumerian? Was the Ark of the Covenant the same as the Ark of the Testimony, or were they two quite different boxes, with two quite different functions? What does Deuteronomy 10 mean by a “heaven of the heavens,” a “god of the gods,” and a “lord of the lords”? Dave in Kentucky will ‘splain it to you, loosely.
Show art: An apparently modern work depicting the Ark of the Covenant going before the Israelites into battle, destroying their enemies “as a consuming fire.” Title, artist and dates unknown. (Sources failed to attribute.)
Theme music: Unknown hymn used as the theme music for Father Coughlin’s radio show in the 1930s, Public Domain, performed by Dave in Kentucky (2021), Public Domain Dedication.
30:35 – Did Yahweh have a girlfriend who also fooled around with Baal and perhaps other gods? Is this one reason the Bible insists that he is a jealous god? And what does it have to do with cutting down trees or knocking down totem poles? Dave in Kentucky has the answers. (The purported answers, anyway.)

30:14 – The Great Flood did not rid the world of giants, any more than it rid the world of normal-sized humans. After the Nephilim came the Anakim, the Emim, the Horim, the Zamzummim, the Avim, and God knows how many other plus-sized races or tribes. King Og of Bashan, with his thirteen-and-a-half-foot bed, was thought by Moses to have been the last of the giants, but we know that Goliath came along later. The Bible provides the information; Dave in Kentucky provides the commentary.

30:14 – Why did the Levites live in the inner city while their sheep lived in the suburbs? Why were Hebrew heiresses forbidden to marry men from other tribes?

28:12 – After helping the Israelites conquer the Midianites, the Yahwelians received tribute which included thirty-two Midianite virgins, without blemish. Why? Strange. Hey, why do you think they call it booty? And it’s not like they hadn’t mated with earth women before, notably in Genesis 6. Also: cultural destruction and ethnic cleansing of the Canaanite peoples, the laying out of the borders of Israel, and a recap of the main events of the Exodus.
