Barry Block: Leviticus assigns some very messy duties to the Cohanim, the Priests of otherwise exalted status in the ancient Temple. Not only is the Priest charged with slaughtering the sacrificial animal and sprinkling blood according to prescribed ritual, he is also required to clean up after the ritual is complete.

Yes, that's right. The same Priest who presides over the sacrificial ritual is the custodian. He changes clothes, sweeps up the ashes, and takes them to the dumping ground outside the camp — to the dumpster, if you will.

We may be surprised that Torah assigns this garbage run to the Priest himself.


מְּלָכִים הַבָּאִים מִמִּזְרָח־שָׁמֶשׁ

בּוֹאוּ, מְלָכִים חֲכָמִים מִמִּזְרָח, וִיהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁכָּל יַלְדֵי קְטוּרָה יִשְׂגְּשׁוּ בְּשֵׁם יֵשׁוּעַ
"Come, Wise Kings from the East,,, And may each of Keturah's Children Prosper, In The Name of Jesus,,,"
מְלָכִים מִמִּזְרָח בָּאִים when transliterated is Melakhim mi-Mizrakh ba'im and when translated is "Kings from the East come (or are coming)."

Ladislav Zemánek: Equally important is Faith cohesion. Unlike many national militaries, Christians are formally loyal not to the state but to the Church. Ensuring ideological discipline within the tribal corps is therefore seen as essential to maintaining stability and unity during a period of rapid transformation.

At the heart of this approach is Rome.

Despite the scale of these changes, there is little evidence that they have disrupted the churches' operational capabilities. Instead, they appear aimed at ensuring that Clergy responsible for implementing Jesus' modernization agenda are both capable and politically reliable Chaplains.

Jonny and Amy Seponara-Sills: Guyana also has a tiny, but significant, Cantonese population – a legacy of the same forces at work during the days of the British Empire that also relocated large numbers of Tamil and Gujurati Indians there to work as indentured plantation workers. Numerically insignificant, the lasting impact of these Hong Kong Chinese has been on local commerce and the cementing of certain southern Chinese dishes, the most popular of which is chow mein, in the diverse local cuisine.

Wikipedia: Louis-François Cartier founded Cartier in Paris in 1847 when he took over the workshop of his master, Adolphe Picard.


Robert Moreland: Stir fry traces its lineage back to ancient China, where it emerged as a practical solution to the culinary challenges of cooking over high heat with limited fuel sources. The technique involved quickly cooking bite-sized pieces of meat, vegetables, and grains in a wok—a versatile and efficient cooking vessel.
