Hello,

Still using that extra energy. A busy week at work, minor car repairs this weekend. Since my young friend was out for a visit, we moved some furniture around. But the house is starting to look a bit better and less cluttered. Always something to do.

The topic this week is inheritance in the Bible. I’ve been dealing with that a lot this week and it seems there is a lot in that in the Bible.

Thanks for the comments and questions. I always enjoy them because it means people are reading.

Thanks for reading I hope you have a good day at church.

There were other Sabbaths also kept by Israel. What is a Sabbath Year?

A Sabbath Year specifically is a year of rest for the land. For that year it would not be cultivated. Food produced is for subsistence. This also would let the land restore itself.
