Numbers 6: Chapter is all about instructions for people who want to be nazirites. The rules for them are interesting. They are supposed to stay pure while in this position. According to the notes in the CEB study bible (p. 213 OT), āa nazirite is not an ethnic description but a special category for a person who has vowed to perform a sacred duty.ā Does this still exist?
8/21 Reading (Numbers 4-5; Acts 12)
I saw a total solar eclipse for the first time ever today. It was cloudy, but wow was it an amazing experience. I loved it. I will have to do another one in the future.
8/19 Reading (Numbers 1-3; Psalms 22-24)
Reading this introduction made me think about how much Iām writing during this process. Iām noticing that during times when Iām busy with other things I start to feel bad or guilty when I donāt write much. It becomes a burden, and it shouldnāt be that way. I will continue to write about what I read and sometimes it will be just a summary of what I read that day. But I think it will help me continue through this journey. Because this is tough stuff.
