So we’re moving right along in Deuteronomy. I’m fascinated with this talk about giants. Og king of Bashan was a giant; he had an iron bedstead that measured 9 cubits by 4 cubits. (Deut 3:11)
\nAccording to Wikipedia, “The Egyptian cubit was not subdivided into centimetres or inches, but into palms and digits. The cubit was subdivided into 7 ‘palms’ of 4 ‘digits’, making 28 parts in all. The distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person measures about 24 digits or 6 palms or 1\u00bd feet. This is about 45 cm or 18 inches.”
\nThat would make the king of Bashan’s bed about 13.5 feet long. So he was a pretty tall guy! And Bashan was the land of the giants (Deut 3:13). Can you imagine traveling and coming upon a land where everyone was 12 feet tall? Wow.<\/p>\n


\nBut you can read more for yourself, in today’s OT reading.
\nIn our NT reading, we start Luke, which is my favorite of the Gospels. I like specifics, and I like proof, and Luke was a doctor writing to his friend Theophilus, “to write you an orderly account … that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.”
\nIn other words, Luke was the investigative reporter who gave Theophilus the info that backed up what he’d been taught.
\nHere are today’s readings.
\nDeuteronomy 3:1-4:49
\nPsalm 36:7-12
\nProverbs 12:7
\nLuke 1:1-20
\nYou can find all of the passages at BibleGateway.com.<\/a>
\nAnd if you’ve missed some readings, here are the lists:
\nFebruary 2010<\/a>
\nJanuary 2010<\/a>
