Before an Israelite could offer a ram as a burnt offering, he had to wash its legs with water. Lev.1:9

The Philistines offered gold rats as an offering. 1 Sam.6:18 Those golden rats are facinating! Intriguing is the more precise word.

Yeah, wasn't it the Philistines who one other time offered golden emerods (hemorrhoids)? That's when they ran into problems after stealing the Ark of the Covenant.
Wrap your brain around that one!!

The plague caused the Philistines to get very painful tumors and hemorrhoids and also involved an infestation of rats. (1 Sam. 6: 5). Offering sacrifices that resembled these things was thought to be efficacious with the offended God who had sent the plagues to punish the Philistines for stealing the ark of the covenant in the first place.

Yes- same story! I didn't realise that when I posted about the rats. But the rats got me to thinking about the emerods

Nazareth to Bethlehem is approximately 70 miles as the crow flies. As the donkey trots, it's about a three-day trip.

The familiar story of Jesus saying, "If any of of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her" (John 7:53-8:11) is found nowhere else in the Bible. In fact, it isn't even found in many manuscripts of the Gospels.
