The reading for Wednesday, March 8, 2023 , is Judges 8 - 10
Yesterday, this blog got 63 views from Hong Kong. It was for the post that gets the most views: "Reading the Bible Through." With that many hits all of the sudden I do kinda wonder if it's a bot.
I don't understand what the Ephraimites beef with Gideon is in the beginning of today's reading.
Very random: why are they called Gideon bibles? Who chose the name and why?
Gideon saved them from the Midianites. Then it says regarding the plunder that it was the Ishmaelites custom to wear gold earrings. Are the Midianites and the Ishmaelites the same people?
I really like that Jether was mentioned even though he was too young and scared to kill the kings of Midian.
Gideon's ephod becoming a snare, is so sad to me.
Abimelech murdering his 70 brothers, so that he could have the power, reminds me of how power can corrupt. I wonder what made Abimelech so power-hungry and so brazen/cruel to his brothers?
