Hebrew Voices #98 – Toilets in Ancient Israel

As for those who piss against the wall, I would interpret that as males, not babies and not the very old nor the sick, so the ablebodied. Would give more meaning to the verse too?

Now that brings more meaning to what we read in the Bible, and the stories I’ve learned while I was really young

Before spinning wheels were introduced it took 10 spinners to supply the thread for one weaver. A typical garment represented one “man year” of labor from start to finish until industrialization was widely adopted.

Real interesting, especially the part in II Kings 10 and the matching archaeology! Had to smile, though, remembering what my Jewish friend’s mom would call this way back when we were young … “bathroom humor”. On my way to check out TIBC link you posted. Thanks again, NG !

But, did they still get scorned by their wives for not putting the seat down when they finished?

My wife told me “great now I’ll have to find another word for sherbet … that was great … then I explained they weren’t talking about sherbet, but another s word … so hillarious. Who doesn’t like a good fart joke… toilet humor etc…

Interesting to know. Thank you for sharing.

Very interesting. Thanks NG for the insight something mundane, yet so neccessary.

Very interesting to learn about the mundane, yet very necessary things. Thanks NG !!

Very interesting subject. Thank you for clarity on this. Great episode.

Great insight that gives new meaning to “Cleanliness is Next to Godliness”
Truly all of His instructions are for our good.

“And Yehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yehovah our God, for our good continually, that he might preserve us alive, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 6:24
