Today in my reading there was a lot of what to and what not to eats. I wonder if God was telling them not to eat certain things because of the danger to their body... they were "unclean" but why? Was there a bacteria that they didn't have the means to kill of prior to eating - or some type danger to the people? That is my story at least! There is always a reason.... I wonder if in our world if the "unclean" foods to eat would include McDonalds!! I think so! ;)
Then one thing I thought was interesting was the time periods women were considered unclean after having a baby. If it was a boy it was only a week... a girl it was two weeks. Then the woman had to stay in for 33 days if it were a boy, but 66 days if it were a girl... interesting!!! Again... I think it has something to do about the safety of the women... I am imagining it wasn't a "sterile" environment back then! And the dangers of a woman getting sick and not having the ability to treat her... I know I keep saying it.. but again... Interesting!
That is all I have for tonight - stay tuned for more details tomorrow!
