"Snakes & Wolves"
4 Lent.B.24
Numbers 21:4-9
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
The Book of Numbers is comprised of a wide assortment of stories, laws, poetry, and ancient texts, including tales of talking donkeys, a surfeit of quails and a priestly blessing. Today we are gifted with one of the oddest stories of them all—what I like to refer to as “The Snake on a Stick”.
