30:02 – An active volcano in the distance, which appeared as a pillar of smoke in the daytime and a pillar of fire at night, had previously led the Israelites to Mt. Sinai, where more smoke and fire accompanied the landing of a Yahwelian ship carrying a very important personage with a very important legal document. What better way to lead the Israelites through the wilderness than by artificially producing the symbols that they were already accustomed to following? Also: Passover, bugle calls, manna, food cravings, and fire-of-Yahweh overreactions. Bonus question: Are Jabal al-Lawz and Jabal Maqla the Biblical Mt. Horeb and Mt. Sinai?

30:00 – When the Israelites pulled up stakes and set out through the wilderness and across the desert, did they travel in a wagon train? Why did Samson believe the source of his great strength was his hair? Was it a blessing to see the face of God, or a death sentence? Weren’t all the animal sacrifices literally overkill? Did the voice of God emanate from an old-time radio receiver? Dave in Kentucky doesn’t have all the answers, but at least he poses some interesting questions.

30:39 – Like all good furniture movers, the Israelites wrapped their furniture in protective coverings before heading off down the road. But how do you cover an altar that is supposed to maintain an eternal flame? And how do the movers transport items that will kill them if they touch them, or perhaps if they even look at them? Dave in Kentucky analyzes this logistical nightmare, as well as the Sotah Ritual, a voodoo-like curse by which a man could purportedly determine if his wife had been cheating on him. Was this superstitious claptrap, or clever psychology?

29:13 – Dave in Kentucky finally gets started on the Book of Numbers, and we soon find out why it’s called that. There’s a little more of the singular vs. plural stuff, too, left over from the previous episode. Discover why the Levites received a Selective Service exemption, how the Israelites conducted their census, and when the Levites and their livestock became the substitute firstborn. Also: the Quimbaya artifacts, pareidolia, and gaslighting. Finally, did the Ark of the Covenant’s wooden carrying poles remain in the metal rings of the Ark at all times? If so, why, and if not, why not?

29:50 – Dave in Kentucky begins his own translation of the Hebrew Bible as follows: “In beginning, gods created the skies and the land, and the land was unformed and empty. And darkness covered the ocean surface, and wind from the gods blew across the surface of the waters. Then said the gods, ‘Let it become light,’ and it became light. And the gods saw that the light was beneficial, and they alternated it with the darkness. They called the time of the light ‘day’, and the time of darkness ‘night’. Thus there was evening and morning from Day One.”
More than a translation, this is an interpretation and an elucidation of Earth’s history involving two different groups of alien gods, the original creator gods and the much-later Yahweh Elohim. Epic in scope, yet condensed to thirty minutes of audio, it is a story of technologies as diverse as weather modification, terraforming and lawn sprinkler installation.
