Studying Exodus 15:1-21 for preaching this weekend. A really cool thing in the Hebrew manuscript tradition (this one a 16th century Torah scroll):

The last ten months have been extra challenging with serious illness &bereavements of several family members. Had to dial back some things & step away from others in this new season. But summer has brought some space and hopefully that will mean serious traction on some projects.

When working on my dissertation, I liked to check manuscript images to make sure I had done my due diligence. Glad this one is now available:

Thankful for Matthew Delaney & Dr. Nathan French interviewing me about my doctoral work in Genesis 6:9-9:17 for their Hebrew Bible Insights program. Preliminary remarks until an overview of the dissertation (3:50-37:04), followed by a friendly interview (37:04-58:43).
