For today's reading: any in favor for bosk remodeling the ToS based on Hebrew law? I mean I could totally see this:
Users who violate the rules will be warned at most three times before action is taken against them. The actions taken are largely at the moderators' discretion and will be scaled with the severity of the infraction. If you have a question about a rule or the punishment you received for breaking a rule, PM or e-mail a moderator. Please don't start threads about individual cases of moderation.
Becoming something like this:
If it is found that any among you have violated the Laws, bosk shall warn you thrice and then wrath shall layeth upon you, and you shall be subject to the moderators tribunal. And then you may make personal sacrifice and find respite, but only through the good grace of the moderators or bosk himself, for our bosk is a just bosk. You shall not employ other means to reach those ends, and you shall not hold prayer or give birth to new threads in the public forum for the sake of your own justice, for then you will only incur additional wrath.
Priceless. You, my friend, are awarded one free Internet.
***EVERYBODY PLEASE READ THIS***
Today's reading starts a fairly grueling stretch where we do get more interesting narrative, but also get very LARGE chunks of laws, rules for festivals and holy days, and detailed instructions for the Jews about building the tabernacle and how they were to conduct their worship. This is a part of the Bible where a lot of people who are trying to read the whole thing get bored, get behind, and give up. I can understand that. Most of that sort of thing is very foreign to us and the majority of it is really specific to the ancient Jews only and is not even applicable in modern times, so it can be hard to stay interested. I want to encourage everyone who is participating to give it your best shot and to know that it gets more interesting again. And if you fall behind, here is some advice to consider: I don't want to step on BrotherH's toes, since he started the thread, but if you fall far behind and don't think you can catch up, rather than giving up, skip ahead to what the daily reading is. If you have time later, go back and catch up. But otherwise, just jump back in on schedule so you can keep up and (1) participate in the discussion, if any, and (2) you can still make it to the end and have read most of it. Remember that the Bible is not put together in such a way that you have to read it from start to finish, beginning to end, to understand it. It was never meant to be read that way, so if you miss a few chapters in the middle, you're probably still fine in terms of getting the big picture. Hope that helps.
