So, Every single last one of you I mean every single last one of you is a lucky lucky boy or girl

Because today on this very podcast. We're gonna talk about ancient Persian receipts.

That's right, that's about to happen.

No, no, no, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't,

don't, don't, don't, don't, why you're being all weird about it?

Do you think, come on, it's, all right, it's going to be more interesting than it sounds like.

Sometimes if you make things sound real hypey and you just yell and bring the energy, then people are like, that boring thing suddenly sounds awesome.

You didn't fall for it. Fine. Let me try logic to sell you. like that

Boring thing suddenly sounds awesome. You didn't fall for it.

Let me try logic to sell you on why this is going to be interesting.

Because every single time that we have any physical artifact that we can hold in our hand

from 2,500 years ago that connects us to any other world,

other time in history that is now mostly lost, that's a big deal.

But when we have artifacts in our hand that tell us little details about the comings and goings of the

world that we're reading about in the Bible from 2,500 years ago. I think that gets

even interesting gur and we have that kind of situation here as we get a little peak into what the

economic life was like of the court of King or the Xerxes in Persia and how in a practical sense Arteserxes

was going to have to make moves to grant the request that Nehemiah is making in

chapter two. Was that better? I'm not sure that was better. I don't know. It's going to be that Nehemiah is making in Chapter 2.

Was that better?

I'm not sure that was better.

I don't know.
