Whoops! Forgot to get back to on these. Let's see. (...) Oh, shame on me! I've lead you astray. The other two new photos are actually in Genesis. But they take place in Egypt, so I got confused. @8^/ My apologies. They're in the very last Genesis (...) (22 years ago, 22-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Don't tell me, let me try. Hmmmm. . . . I'm going with Exodus 10:15, and maybe 9:10? (...) You mean that's cut and paste? Good job. Looking close, I'll guess 9--the first two rows in Num 20:20 are real, those behind are repeats. (...) Hey, (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) I don't claim to understand Yahweh's system of justice, but as far as I know, there's no evidence in the Bible that Aaron ever took any blame for the whole Golden Calf incident. Somehow he got off scott-free while 4,000 of his fellow (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

I wanted to make sure Korah was a charismatic enough-looking guy for 250 Israelite men of repute to follow him into rebellion -- someone who could stand up to Moses and not just look foolish. (...)

(...) Yes, you are technically correct. But then I wouldn't get to show off the Ark of the Covenant! And it looks so cool! @8^) You'll just have to wait until Solomon's Temple for the ark to be hidden away in the holy of holies. (...) Thanks! It's (...)

It looks like Aaron finally got his dessert from Yawheh. Oh wait. When exactly did he sin against Yawheh? Oh, the golden calf. But then, Yawheh killed his two sons for no reason whatsoever. I also don't get how did Moses and Aaron "doubted" Yawheh (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hey Brendan, Great as always. Second Rebellion: I really like the combination of Dooku torso with brown arms and legs, black turban, and Madame Hooch's (?) cape. The design of the censers is cool, as is the ground opening. I do think this bolt of (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)

Hey Brendan, Great as always. Giants: LOL on the old-style figs with the big round heads. I've got one of those from my first set (I think it was 111).
