There goes the neighborhood

Reading Numbers 7. Israelite leaders bringing their offerings for the dedication of the altar. Over 12 days, they brought:

Grain Offering
12 silver plates
12 silver sprinkling bowls
12 gold dishes
Burnt Offering
12 young bulls
12 rams
12 male rams
Sin Offering
12 male goats
Fellowship Offering
24 oxen
60 rams
60 male goats
60 male lambs a year old

12 days mind you. Whoa. I'm thinking they didn't have a zoo back then. Plus, you had all the female goats and lambs walking around going, "Now, what do we do?"

Interesting. That's a lot of work. Plus I'm thinking that place kind of smelled.
