Drunk Bible Study

Yahweh's tone changes as we read 14-16 and talk about taking care of the Israelite's servants, fatherless, widows, sojourners, and poor, as well as the Levites.

Brian G. Murphy from Queer Theology joins us to continue talking about Deuteronomy and tells us his favorite passage from the book. We discuss how difficult it is to come to terms with the idea that what we think the Bible means is often different from what it what it says and why it's important to continuously challenge ourselves to read from a different perspective than our own. If you want MORE...

Today we're joined by Brian G. Murphy, co-founder of Queer Theology , who prompts us to look at some of what we're reading from a different perspective. There's some intense political god propaganda but also a reminder to take care of people who might look or believe differently from us. Hoofed mammals are a common theme, and Drunk Bible Study might have started to write a new Christmas Carol... I...

Today on Body by Moses Podcast, Moses invents a biblical interval training and intermittent fasting program that rivals most popular health and fitness programs currently on the market.

Don't buy a tefillin that costs less than $250 or spring mattresses!

Ten Commandments REDUX! There is suddenly a lot more talk about love than we've encountered in this book so far.

Moses is here to stay for a bit while we discuss religious observance, officials, an law in Deuteronomy. Many different words are used to describe giants, could it be the Israelites are just short?

We've conquered Numbers and the Israelites are to make the lands Canaan their own. Numbers had a lot going on, a few of our favorites are: pillars of cloud and fire, 10 were bad and 2 were good, Aaron's budding rod, Balaam and his talking ass, and the Yahweh demonstrated how much he looooves to repeat himself. If you want MORE drinking and bible-ing, including bonus episodes, interviews with exper...

Knowing his days are numbered, Moses takes a moment to remind us the places where the Israelites have wandered through over the past 40 years. Instructions for how to divide the Promised Lands among the tribes and the Levites are given, and the beginnings of legal system take shape. With that we are DONE with Numbers and look forward to starting Deuteronomy next week! If you want MORE drinking and...

Rumor has it that it was Balaam's, the best diviner in all the land, idea to have Midianite women seduce Israelites which brought a plaque upon them, or was it a Biblical STD? Wait, where the heck is Moses' wife, Zipporah? Was she killed at the same as all the other non-virgin Midianite women? Although there has been vast improvements in many religions since the days of trekking towards the Promis...

Yahweh commands Moses to send 1,000 men from each tribe to war against the Midianites. Every male Midianite dies and only female virgins survive, which isn't good news considering they are forced to marry their captors or become sex slaves... pretty sure we skipped learning about this part in church! The Reubenites and Gadites decide they want to skip going to the Promised Land and seek to make th...

In today's bonus episode we question why the tribes complain about a lack of food despite having enough livestock to make lavish offerings to Yahweh and keep sheep as pets. Women continue to get the short end of the stick, often stuck in marriages because their husband can't pay back the dowry or bride price he received when they first got married. As a friendly reminder, make sure not to make a v...

Numbers is numbing sometimes. A lot of animals die and men get to tell women what to do. Hopefully Moses is taking notes when Yahweh sets new standards for offerings because things are getting pretty specific. Emily practices her speed reading and Dedeker is looking for recommendations for sulfite free wines that actually taste like wine. If you want MORE drinking and bible-ing, including bonus ep...

Where do we even begin? Explore the difference between a king and a dynastic ruler, the diet of lions and tigers, and our theories about the politics surrounding Cozbi's and Zimri's relationship.

Balak, King of Moab, continues to make sacrifices hoping the prophet, Balaam, will speak a curse against the Israelites. Instead, the spirit of God comes on him and he prophecies that a scepter shall rise out of Israel and strike down Moab. A bawdy interlude gets Zimri and Cozbi skewered. Stay tuned until the end for a special toast! If you want MORE drinking and bible-ing, including bonus episode...

Yahweh fills Aaron and his sons in on their new responsibilities and the perks that come with being the owner of a budding rod. Is getting a slice of heave offerings and tithes worth being a buffer between Yahweh and the congregation? The logic behind who is unclean and how to be considered clean again is confusing, let us know if you followed it! Miriam dies after the people arrive at Kadesh, and...
