And the Winner is: The Year of Jubilee


I lost the office pool on the scripture selection for Week 2 of Bible in 90 Days. (See September 8 post).

My choices: either Numbers 12: 1-16 (Miriam and Aaron both diss Moses, but only Miriam is smitten with leprosy) or Deuteronomy 30: 19-20 (God sets before the Israelites blessings for following the law and curses for worshiping other gods).

But no. The winning scripture was (drumroll, please)...Leviticus 25:8-13--the Lord God ordains the Year of Jubilee.

Guess we're lucky the pastors didn't choose a selection detailing the architectural plan for the tabernacle (snore!) or the detailed instructions for killing animals for the blood offering (gross!).

I'd have gone with Balaam's Ass, myself . . .
