Marc Thiessen Yeah, the joints. That's what I was looking for. Trevor Burrus Yeah. And so that's why we have 360 degrees in a circle, 365 days in a year. Like this comes from the Mesopotamian counting conventions. And you look at some of these lists and they're operational and all divisible by like 12 and 60. And you're like, what's going on here?

So not all of them, but enough of them where it's statistically impossible. And- I don't totally know what to make of those things because you do have the genealogies. I believe it's Genesis chapter 4 and Genesis chapter 11 where they're all divisible by these types of numbers that were very common in the ancient Near East. They're not random.

Whereas if you look at the genealogies later in like Chronicles and Kings of the ages of the Israelite kings, they're random. And so it's just like what do we do with that? Because numbers are also far more – representational, which is why we see numbers like 12 and 40 and seven come up in the Bible, but also other ancient Near Eastern literature.

Like there are certain numbers in Egyptian society that also were seen as like perfect numbers or like numbers that you wanted to incorporate. So-

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And there are different timekeeping conventions depending on society. Like ancient Jews had a different timekeeping convention than ancient Romans. Yeah. And so that's why you see like in Genesis chapter one, it talks about there being evening and there being morning is because, well, Jews today, right? You start the Sabbath on sundown the day before, right?

So that's why it's because there's different cycles. And so we go on a 24-hour time system. But ancient Jews had a different convention of that. Ancient Romans had a different convention of that. Ancient, you know, Mesopotamian cultures had their own kind of conventions about these things. And calendars were all over the place.
