1 Chronicles 1-2: The Begats
Somewhere there are scholars out there who are experts in ancient Jewish history. These first two chapters of 1 Chronicles have my head swimming in “ites”. I need a visual aid to get a better understanding of these people and where they lived and ruled.

Chapter 19 contains many themes that Jesus personified, such as love your neighbor as yourself. Be kind to the poor (leave the edges of the field unharvested, and do not strip every last grape from your vines in order to help provide for the poor and the foreigners.) I wonder how that command applies to today, when very few of us own fields? Giving money and food to the food banks is a lot like leaving behind food for the poor in the fields. After giving his people a holy instruction, the Lord reiterates why the people should behave in … Continue reading Leviticus 19-21:Holy Instructions
