Weird Shit From The Bible!

Post by Raoul Duke, Jr. »

That's right, this is the place to post the weird shit from the Bible! (I really don't feel like reading the Bible, and anyway I can't right now -- damn 8 pt print, mumble mumble)

I especially want to know where the hell the 1000 iron chariot thing came from, 'cause I missed that part.

Judges 1:19 - And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

If you want high-test concentrated weird-shit in the Bible, read the Book of Leviticus.

Not surprisingly, not once was a verse from Leviticus read when I was in Sunday School. Wonder why.

And when placed a little more in context...
002:001 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.

002:002 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

002:003 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

As always, this:

Ezekiel 23:20
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

In other words, they were hung like mules and sprayed like stallions.

What about the Book of Revelations, which bears a striking resemblance to a LSD trip.

There's also the "Circumcise the foreskin of your heart" bit, which truly is one of the funniest mistranslations I ever have seen.
