a reading from Numbers chapter 31 today.....
Dividing the Spoils
25 The Lord said to Moses, 26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured. 27 Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community. 28 From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the Lord one out of every five hundred, whether people, cattle, donkeys or sheep. 29 Take this tribute from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as theLord’s part. 30 From the Israelites’ half, select one out of every fifty, whether people, cattle, donkeys, sheep or other animals. Give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the Lord’s tabernacle.” 31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32 The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep, 33 72,000 cattle,34 61,000 donkeys 35 and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.Comment -
This is my favorite verse for some reason..
Genisis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground."

I'm a Christian and I love reading the Old Testament. Ive read the entire Bible multiple times and have a 100 page list of verses. Ruth and Job are my favorite books.
Isaiah 36:12 - But the Rabshakeh said, "Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and not to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?"
Isaiah 47.10- You felt secure in your wickedness; you said, "No one sees me." Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me." But evil shall come upon you, which you cannot charm away; disaster shall fall upon you, which you will not be able to ward off; and ruin shall come on you suddenly, of which you know nothing
Job 3.20- Why is light given to one in misery, and life to the bitter in soul, who long for death, but it does not come, and dig for it more than hidden treasures; who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave? Why is light given to one who cannot see the way, whom God has fenced in?
Job 7.17 What are human beings, that you make so much of them, that you set your mind on them, visit them every morning, test them every moment? If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of humanity?
Job 10.1 I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 30.20 I cry to you and you do not answer me; I stand, and you merely look at me. You have turned cruel to me; with the might of your hand you persecute me.
Acts 16.25 - About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened. When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted in a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here." The jailer called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them outside and said "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They answered, "Believe on The Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Acts 9.13 - But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem; and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name." But The Lord said to him, "Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name"
Ruth 1.16 But Ruth said, "Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall me my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die - there will I be buried. May The Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you.Comment -
JJ, there is nothing wrong with looking to religion for some answers. You are such a poor gambler that maybe you will find another field to pursue.Comment -
Ruth 1.20 She said to them, "Call me no longer Naomi, call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt bitterly with me. I went away full, but The Lord has brought me back empty."
Ruth 2.10 Then she fell prostrate, with her face to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take notice of me, when I am a foreigner?" But Boaz answered her, "All that you have done for your mother in law since the death of your husband has been fully told me, and how you left your father and mother and native land and came to a people that you did not know before. May The Lord reward you for your deeds, and may you have a full reward from The Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge! Then she said, "May I continue to find favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, even though I not one of your servants."Comment -
