I'm circumsized myself, so I must have a few brownie points with the big guy. <BR/><BR/>It also made perfect sense on another level: Exodus is bloody weird and makes no moral, ethical, narrative, social, intellectual or emotional sense. 4:24 is no more bizarre than any other part of it.

Yes, frogs. <BR/><BR/>Whoever wrote Exodus (and philology tells us there were a few 'hands') was not a particulalrly good writer.<BR/><BR/>No wonder the Bible is open to 'interpretation'.Perseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292281862441986618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3625804658511612758.post-22830373637169405522008-04-18T06:33:00.000-07:002008-04-18T06:33:00.000-07:00Hi Perseus,I don't think I've ever seen Genesis re...Hi Perseus,<BR/><BR/>I don't think I've ever seen Genesis reviewed, let alone in a style such as that.
