In my previous Bible Reflections work, I commented on how to find a husband for your daughter. As I read through this today, nothing else is really standing out to me. Yes, I realize these words and descriptions are important for those who make maps and study deeper into the history of the region. Today, this passage isn't moving me. However, I am reminded that just because it isn't moving me today, the information in here may help me later.
There is also a nagging voice in my mind saying, "The Bible wasn't just written for you." This reminds me that, as exciting as the Bible is, there are parts that don't speak to me as much as others, and I need to be okay with this. I am, after all, not the center of the universe. This is just another way for the Bible to remind me of that.
