And should I not be concerned about Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also many animals?”Jonah is a fun story and it even ends on a pro-animal footing. Some translations say "cattle," which makes it even more so, since "animals" can be dogs and all, while who really cares about cattle? BTW, Hebrew and Christian Bibles have a different order for the same books.
Various thoughts on current events with an emphasis on politics, legal issues, books, movies and whatever is on my mind. Emails can be sent to almostsanejoe@aol.com; please put "blog comments" in the subject line.
