A Rose By Any Other Name

You don’t see names like this anymore. Straight from the Bible.

4. Uz and Buz - Brothers. Nephews of Abraham.

5. Basemath - Daughter of Ishmael.

6. Er - Son of Judah, grandson of Jacob. He was displeasing to the LORD, and the LORD took his life.Then the story really gets crazy!

3. Wilderness of Shur

4. Wilderness of Sin

5. Assir - son of Korah, second cousin of Moses and Aaron.

Leviticus

This book doesn’t have too many references to people. Moses and Aaron are prominent throughout as well as all the instructions for the priests. Since I’m a fan of lists, maybe I should do one of all the crazy laws. Like,

When a woman at childbirth bears a male, she shall be unclean seven days…..If she bears a female, she shall be unclean two weeks…” 

Numbers
