Debate: Should Christians keep the feast days (view source)

The original commandment was [[capital punishment]] for failure to keep the Sabbath. One problem was immediately apparent: According to the Book of Numbers, the estimated population of Israel in the wilderness, and the strangers that sojourned with them, was approx. 3.5 million, including women, children, and old folks. This means on any given Sabbath there were people who died within the camp. Then we have the commandment, ''ye shall come at no unclean thing''. So a group of people had to be organized who were exempt from God's command to keep the Sabbath, and whose job was to remove corpses. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth.

More digression: Moses father-in-law Jethro suggested to Moses to organize people in groups of 50, groups of 10 with captains of 50, captains of 10, etc. This was because 3.5 million people were too much for Moses to judge. Can you imagine? It was like User:Conservative posting on Andy talk every ten minutes, "Rob's being mean to me". And Jethro's suggestion, as the scripture says, was Jethro's suggestion for the administration of law, and not necessarily God ordained. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth.
