This one’s for you, Lora. ;-)
Numbers 1:5-16
“These are the names of the men who are to assist you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur; from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab; from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar; from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon; from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur; from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni; from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran; from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel; from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.” These were the men appointed from the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes. They were the heads of the clans of Israel.”

Haha. I was telling Skylark that when I started the “Bible Verse of the Day” section it was rather tongue-in-cheek, attempting to point out that there’s a lot of stuff in the Bible that gets passed over, is just plain weird, or gets interpreted through present-day cultural lenses. This section definitely qualifies. Thanks for the laugh!
