From Deuteronomy 16-18:
1. The month of Abib - According to Wikipedia (yes, I know it is not always 110% accurate, but it does do pretty well in most things I have seen) gives a list of the Hebrew months. Very interesting.

2. Someone once used a reference to the Passover feast like what we find in Deuteronomy 16 to indicate that God likes barbeques. If that were true, does that mean that God would go to Burger King and not McDonalds? It puts a whole new spin on "What Would Jesus Do".
3. It is interesting that in Deuteronomy God calls for all (including the fatherless and widow) to celebrate the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Tabernacles. He does not mention the alien in the portion of the passage about the Passover.
4. I remember about the command in chapter 17 about the king not taking many wives, but I did not realize that God also commanded them not to acquire great numbers of horses for themselves. It also says he must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold. Boy, I guess Solomon might have been really wise, but he sure messed up on these.
5. I wonder why it says that the Levites are to have no inheritance among the Israelites, and yet I know that some areas were assigned to the Levites as their lands - certain cities and such. This is from Numbers 35. It must not have been considered an inheritance.
