30:17 – In addition to the Biblical account of the Great Flood, there were at least three earlier Middle Eastern accounts, in the Eridu Genesis, the Epic of Atrahasis, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The human heroes of these stories were Ziusudra, Atrahasis, and Utnapishtim, respectively. Were these just different names for Noah, or were they different people altogether? Was the Yahweh who decided to drown mankind the same Yahweh who decided to save them from drowning? Was the flower of monotheism grafted onto polytheistic roots? Were the Igigi “lesser gods” just lower-class Anunnaki? And just exactly what did the gods carry in their handbags? Dave in Kentucky will attempt to answer all these questions and more, and while he may just be talking to the wall, he hopes there’s somebody listening on the other side of that wall.

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.
29:56 – Just as man needs a day of rest every seven days, the land needs a year of rest every seven years, or so decreed the Yahweh Elohim, and it’s still good agricultural practice today. Somewhat questionable, however, is their insistence that everything rests and resets every fifty years. Prisoners are set free, all property reverts to its original owners, and all debts are forgiven. (All debts, mind you; not just student loan debts.) Get ready to yabal the shofars; it’s Jubilee Time!

30:25 – In this, the penultimate Levitical episode, Dave in Kentucky discusses the rules that applied only to the priests. Why were hunchback priests, midget priests, and priests with flat noses barred from serving in the Holy of Holies? What flaws in food or service would prompt a Yahwelian diner to send back a meal, complain to the chef, and call the manager to the table? Also: feast days and how to properly observe them.

29:36 – What do child sacrifice, man-on-man sex and bestiality have in common, and why are they not to be recommended? Dave in Kentucky provides the Yahwelian perspective and motivation. Also: why Canaan was not for the Canaanites, how to avoid food poisoning without understanding it, practical jokes to play on the deaf and the blind, and the punishments for various infractions. Spoiler alert: the death penalty is a very popular punishment.
