Sometimes surprises lurk in my morning worship time. Today in Exodus 6:20 I found this one:Did you know that Moses was the son of his father's aunt? Or to look at it another way, did you know that Moses' mother (Jochebed) married her nephew (Amram) and that this liaison produced Moses? So if you think about it, Moses was his dad's cousin. Or from another angle, his mother was his grand-aunt. Or, you could say he was his own first cousin, once removed. Or... okay, okay, I'll quit.
Seems like this family was a wee bit too close.
I remember discovering that or something very similar once upon a time. It seems the cultures then were quite different than now. Who knew? :o)
