It seems that as I go to the descendants of Issachar and Benjamin the amount of soldiers that were counted had much meaning - perhaps as they were the "brawn" of the Israelite army. The count was probably during King David's time (2 Sam 24). The tribe of Naphtali gets honorable mention in only one verse. Manasseh's tribe was limited since they had only daughters after a period of time and could not pass the land down and thus would be asborbed into the rest. However, they pleaded with Moses to ask the Lord who allowed the change to place (Numbers 27).
Did you ever have a craving? I guess I fell victim of it yesterday and had to go and scratch the itch. Went to my local supermarket and got some fried chicken. I have learned restraint since this will last me another meal. Also got some mussels and steamed them up as well and tossed them into some pasta. Great meal! Nice to see the Mets and Knicks win (even though I got some coaxing from CC to urge the Knicks to win to help his Grizzlies). Glad GG got in yesterday albeit on the late side and look forward to seeing him on this weekend.
Praise for today: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. Ps. 145: 3
