Sigh.  \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\nEzekiel 45:13-15 &#8211; Interesting here, in the OT, God is demanding a offering that&#8217;s less than a tithe.  Maybe I&#8217;m misunderstnading the bigger picture, or this is a special circumstance or I&#8217;m doing the math wrong.  All possibilities, I guess, but take a look:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An ephah is essentially a &#8216;tithe&#8217; of a homer (a tenth), yet God only demands 1\/6 of an ephah of wheat and barley, in other words 1\/6 of a tithe.<\/li>\n<li>He&#8217;s even less demanding on oil, demanding a tithe of a tithe if you will &#8211; a tenth of a bath per cor (there are 10 baths in a cor).<\/li>\n<li>Even less for sheep &#8211; one of 200, or half of a percent or half of a tithe of a tithe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t know that it means anything per se, I just find it interesting.<br \/>\nEzekiel 45-46 &#8211; I&#8217;m not sure I get who the &#8216;prince&#8217; is nor all the sacrifices.  Again, like the description of the beasts or the temple, It&#8217;s hard for me to follow. It&#8217;s also hard to get why it&#8217;s important, but I suppose it meant a lot more to them then than it does to me now.<br \/>\nEzekiel 47:1-12 &#8211; I don&#8217;t quite get the exact symbolism here in the water flowing from the temple, but it is certainly a symbol of hope.  Good things are coming, I&#8217;m sure that was welcome news after all the judgement and condemnation of earlier chapters.<br \/>\nEzekiel 47:13-48:35 &#8211; A rather anti-climactic ending, descriptions of dividing up the land between the tribes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, it&#8217;s been a long time and I&#8217;m having a hard time picking up where I left off.
