DBRP_041 EXO.21 EXO.22 JOB.41 LUK.1.39-80


Preparing to read EXODUS 21-22:

Yesterday we read about the awesome and fearful way the Lord revealed himself at Mount Sinai to the Israelites. (Remember that for when we come to Hebrews 13.) And God gave the 10 Commandments.

Translation notes:
18 “Now suppose two men quarrel, and one hits the other with a stone or fist, and the injured [man/person] does not die but is confined to bed. (NLT)

I can’t stand it when, in the name of gender sensitivity, ‘man’ gets changed to ‘person’. In this case, it is already clear that it is ‘two men’!

We turn to JOB 41.

God continues to confront and challenge Job, asking questions revealing God's power compared to human weakness.

A note about Leviathan in this chapter. Leviathan can be compared to a sea crocodile. The identification of Leviathan is disputed, ranging from an earthly creature to a mythical sea monster in ancient literature.

We turn for the second time to LUKE 1.

Yesterday, in a very formal prologue, Luke stated his purpose. Then we read of Zechariah's unbelief, and how Mary accepted the role God had given to her. She said:
38 “ I am the Lord’s servant. May your word to me be fulfilled.”

 I thank Rebekah Pickens for reading the part of Mary in today’s podcast. Rebekah is a dental hygienist and a member of our church.
