Leviticus 12

Today's section was short, and there isn't a whole ton to it, just instructions for purification following the birth of a chile. I do find it odd, though, that the length of time a woman was unclean lastest longer if the baby was a girl than a boy - twice as long, to be precise. I'd love to know what that is supposed to signify.

Kid on the way!

So, I'm sure someone out there has noticed that I missed Monday's blog post. There was one early Monday morning, but that was actually just a late Sunday reading. I've actually done the reading for Monday as well, Genesis 16, but this afternoon my wife had her water break and then went into labor. I've been at the hospital with her since 5-ish, and this is the first chance I had to sit down with my laptop. The only reason this is possible is because she got an epidural, and she is now very relaxed and out of pain.

Anyways, the kid will likely be born today - or tomorrow at the latest; consider this our pre-arrival announcement!
