Yeah, just spin wool and make rugs.

Yeah, so...

There's a part when they're building the tabernacle in the desert.

The Hebrews have been led out of Egypt by Moses, and they're in the wilderness.

And they're building this tabernacle to house the ark.

And the women are spinning right from the goats.

They're spinning the hair from the goats right into yarn without first shaving them.

And I was spinning all that time walking.

myself and it felt like I was back there I was back there spinning I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that well I was spinning yarn from a goat a live goat and I was like in the mind of the person spinning it back then

Well, it was like a resonance between me spinning wherever I was living back then and just being in a trance with the spinning and identifying fully with someone who's doing the spinning like way back when, straight from my goat.

Yeah, it was, what was it?

I don't know.

It was a trance.

It was a movement into somebody else's consciousness from like the distant, distant past.

Well, it was very cool.

I mean, I was spinning yarn for the tabernacle, which was going to house the Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, Ten Commandments, and all that.

You know, it's a very rich world.

And I think that's the first time I really saw, at least my whole person anyway, that could identify with the scene being described.

And I think that comes from really understanding the language and how ambiguous it can be.

Well, you know, there's modern Hebrew now, which is spoken in Israel.
