Good afternoon, everyone!
Today I read Numbers 31-32.
In today's reading, the Israelites conquered Midian, and the sons of Gad and Reuben decided to remain in Gilead rather than continuing on. Moses agreed to let them stay as long as they would send men to fight with their brothers when the time came.
Side note: Gilead is the name of the new-world city in A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I am not recommending the book. I read it. It's weird. It was also interesting. In a weird way.
I'm still not sure why the author chose Gilead for the city's name. If you know, please leave a comment below!
Anyway, I don't have anything to say about today's reading.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Numbers 33-34.
