0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:13.0 | Today we finished our 15th book of the Bible. Congratulations! And even though there are 66 books, |
0:19.9 | we're actually almost to the halfway point in our first |
0:22.4 | trip through the Bible together. Let's see what the wise men had to say to us today in Proverbs. |
0:28.3 | Chapter 30 is written by a man named Agur, and it's the only place in scripture where his name occurs. |
