Numbers 01 Steve Howard's New Bloody Torah reading + remarks by John Rah

the text here has been updated from what John Rah has to read. the metal question is better explained in the updated text.

chapter 01
Census time.
Numbers promises to be just about as tedious and Leviticus. We eventually get to some nice slaughters. First, there must be another census taking. For names and numbers you will have to refer to the original. They don't really help the story much.
They tell us that this census happen two years two months after leaving Egypt. There is little to suggest the Hebrews did all their breeding in Egypt. And there has been no evidence that there was a wandering tent city of herders of millions in any desert. The story was most likely written in Babylon. And maybe the Hebrews were slaves there. Your narrator doubts it. Your narrator is inclined to think they were the ruling class. How did Paul say it. 'We act as though we have nothing but we own everything.' There were certainly slaves in Babylon. Not likely Hebrew, however. It was Nimrod that founded the place. Slaves have been almost everywhere. It wasn't too long ago that the southern states of the USA were full of slaves. And that was after a grand genocide of many nations. So there is enough truth in the atrocities of the Torah even if the details are way off.
So there are, like with the Mormons, astrological signs and eggs in America, twelve over fathers. The 12 ancestral houses listed by names.
Joseph, the first son from Jacob's favorite wife had two head sons. Two ancestral houses. The Levites were the chosen of the chosen race. The animals on the farm more equal. War pigs. Maybe they were the 13th house. The holy house in the middle. In this book it is likely Saturn they refer to. Thus is Saturday holy. In Christianity, the sun is in the central house. Thus is Sunday holy. 12 houses around the holy one. The sun is God. At the time of the Moses story, we had what astrologers personify and name as the age of Taurus. Christ marked the start of the age Pisces. And that has come to an end. How it or if it matters, that is still very much open for debate.
So, anyway, each son had anywhere from 32,000 to 63,000 males over age 20 who could bare arms. There is no mention of iron or steel so we are likely still in the bronze age. Egypt had metal furnaces but iron wasn't much in use before 1,200 BC. Sharpened bone is also good to slice your enemy open and they had much of that. Bows and arrows work well. Spears are good. And 603,550 soldiers are also good. They also had fire to fight their enemies. Lots of animal fat to burn.
vs. 49: Do not on any account enroll the tribe of Levi or take a census of them with the Israelites. EQ.
At least not till next chapter.
Only the Levites were holy enough to take care of the holy tent of blood sacrifice. Anyone not Levite who got close to the tent was put to death.
Vs. 51: any outsider who encroaches shall be put to death. EQ.

peace without belief
