Saul wanted david to bring him a fuckload of philistine foreskins in the hopes that david would get himself killed in the process

David instead brought back twice as many and martied both of saul's daughters

So the jews are kind of like native americans collecting enemy scalps, except they favour foreskins.

Judges 3:21-25 posted:

Ehud was supposed to kill King Eglon based on a message from God. He went to the King’s palace and pulled out a large sword. He plunged the weapon into the rotund King’s belly but he was so fat that the sword became covered over. Ehud plunged the sword even farther into the King’s gut to make sure he was going to die. At this point the King’s bowels became uncontrollable and he began to defecate all over the place. When his attendants came to call upon him, they thought he was indisposed. Later they found him dead on the floor with feces everywhere.

Back in my day in private Catholic school we only read genesis, exodus, and some of the new testament letters after the gospel.

I always wondered why we skipped over 90% of it, like take this opening verse from book of kings one

1 Kings 1-2King James Version (KJV) posted:


1 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

2 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

the pyramids actually was aliens tho

historical record suggests the annunaki ceased direct intervention around 3000 years ago so theres certainly plenty of reference to them in various biblical texts. they were passed down through oral tradition of course so who knows how reliable they are

Rabbis have brass balls:

quote:

"On that day, Rabbi Eliezer put forward all the arguments in the world, but the Sages did not accept them.

"Finally, he said to them, 'If the halakha is according to me, let that carob­tree prove it.'

"He pointed to a nearby carob-tree, which then moved from its place a hundred cubits, and some say, four hundred cubits. They said to him 'One cannot bring a proof from the moving of a carob-tree.'

"Said Rabbi Eliezer, 'If the halakha is according to me, may that stream of water prove it.'

"The stream of water then turned and flowed in the opposite direction.

"They said to him, 'One cannot bring a proof from the behavior of a stream of water.'

"Said Rabbi Eliezer, 'If the halakha is according to me, may the walls of the House of Study prove it.'

"The walls of the House of Study began to bend inward. Rabbi Joshua then rose up and rebuked the walls of the House of Study, 'If the students of the Wise argue with one another in halakha," he said, "what right have you to interfere?'

"In honor of Rabbi Joshua, the walls ceased to bend inward; but in honor of Rabbi Eliezer, they did not straighten up, and they remain bent to this day.

"Then, said Rabbi Eliezer to the Sages, 'If the halakha is according to me, may a proof come from Heaven.'

"Then a heavenly voice went forth and said, 'What have you to do with Rabbi Eliezer? The halakha is according to him in every place.'

"Then Rabbi Joshua rose up on his feet, and said, 'It is not in the heavens'

"What did he mean by quoting this? Said Rabbi Jeremiah, 'He meant that since the Torah has been given already on Mount Sinai, we do not pay attention to a heavenly voice, for You have written in Your Torah, 'Decide according to the majority'

"Rabbi Nathan met the prophet Elijah. He asked him, 'What was the Holy One, Blessed be He, doing in that hour?'

"Said Elijah, 'He was laughing and saying, "My children have defeated me, my children have defeated me.""'

Two Rabbis are arguing. Eventually God himself shows up to settle the argument, at which point he's told to GTFO because it doesn't concern him

Gentiles couldn't get away with that poo poo.

The Talmud further recounts that Og was so large that he sought the destruction of the Israelites by uprooting a mountain huge enough to crush the entire Israelite encampment. The Lord caused a swarm of ants to dig away the center of the mountain, which was resting on Og's head. The mountain then fell onto Og's shoulders. As Og attempted to lift the mountain off himself, the Lord caused Og's teeth to lengthen outward, becoming embedded into the mountain that was now surrounding his head.

shut the gently caress up it's time for my favourite talmud story: "The Time God Told A Bunch Of Rabbis The Answer to An Extremely Pedantic Question And The Rabbis Told God to gently caress Off".

this one's a personal favorite. another one i discovered around the same time discusses in great detail a number of extremely unlikely corner cases, involving the question of 'if you trip and accidentally throw a knife with enough force to instantly kill an animal nearby, is that animal's meat kosher?' i just spent the last five minutes searching for it and failed, but if anyone else has any idea what i'm thinking of, i'd appreciate it!

here's another good (bizarre?) bit i found while searching:

CHAPTER XXI.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE POURING OUT OF WINE FROM VESSELS COVERED WITH A STONE (WHICH MUST NOT BE LIFTED), AND THE CLEARING OFF OF CRUMBS, ETC., FROM THE TABLE.

quote:

Said R. Jehudah bar Shila in the name of R. Assi, that a box of money was once forgotten in the market and R. Johanan was asked what was to be done. He ordered them to place a loaf of bread or a child on it, and take it in. Said Mar Zutra: "All these rules are laid down in the case of where the things referred to were left by accident." But R. Ashi said, that such is not the case, and that a child or a loaf of bread can be used to move a corpse only.

quote:

MISHNA: The school of Shamai teaches: "Bones and husks may be removed from the table." The school of Hillel, however, teaches: "One may only lift the whole table board (or cloth), and shake off what is left over." All crumbs smaller than an olive may be removed from the table; also the hulls of beans and lentils, because they may serve for fodder. It is allowed to use a sponge for wiping, providing it has a handle made of leather; otherwise, it is not allowed. At all events, one may handle a sponge...

quote:

The pits of dates (Armiassa) to which some of the meat adheres maybe handled, and those of Parsiassa 1 must not be handled. Samuel used to handle the latter with bread, holding to his opinion that anything at all may be done with bread (while others hold that bread should not be put to any uses except for food). Rabba would hold them with a pitcher of water. R. Shesheth would throw them out by means of his tongue, and R. Papa would throw them underneath the bed. It was told of R. Zacharias ben Abkulos, that he would turn his face towards the back of the bed and throw them out with his tongue.

shabbat restrictions could be a whole thread to themselves.
