Summary

The fourth book of the Bible! As always, remember the Bible has been written, edited, and interpreted by LOTS of people, and we're under no obligation to treat its angriest voices as definitive of the entire thing.

The actual story resumes! Things are finally happening!
Numbers gives us phrases like "wandering in the wilderness," "land of milk and honey," and "eww girls have cooties!"
There's a reason Sunday school teachers steer WAY clear of all Numbers content besides Talking Donkey and Brave Caleb. Meanwhile, other Christians have used Numbers to justify all sorts of horrendous things!
Aaron asks God the most pertinent question Aaron could ever ask God!
Mommy God and Daddy Moses are fighting again, the Israelites are constantly griping about needing luxuries like food and water, and this is the worst road trip ever!
This is a Miriam stan podcast!

0:37.6	book of the Bible. As always, we would like this podcast to be welcoming and affirming for all
0:41.9	persons, believers, non-believers, and everything in between. The book of numbers is, it's
0:47.5	probably a book better for non-believers, to be quite frank, because if you're a person who
