“And those who will carefully study the so-called 'Mosaic code' contained in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, will see that, though Jahveh's prohibitions of certain forms of immorality are strict and sweeping, his wrath is quite as strongly kindled against infractions of ritual ordinances. Accidental homicide may go unpunished, and reparation may be made for wilful theft. On the other hand, Nadab and Abihu, who 'offered strange fire before Jahveh, which he had not commanded them,' were swiftly devoured by Jahveh's fire; he who sacrificed anywhere except at the allotted place was to be 'cut off from his people'; so was he who ate blood; and the details of the upholstery of the Tabernacle, of the millinery of the priests' vestments, and of the cabinet work of the ark, can plead direct authority from Jahveh, no less than moral commands.”

“A Better Future
A special tribute to my beautiful Mother

When you were strict towards me
I thought you were being mean

When you advised me to behave
I would sometimes misbehave

When you instilled discipline
I assumed you were ill-treating me

When you taught about being responsible
I did not want to be accountable

When you told me to go to school
I felt it was not cool

When you gave me less money for lunch
I somehow expected more

When you asked for my homework
I was keen to do nothing

When you said I should pray
I only wanted to play

Mother!
It was because back then
I did not know, but now I realise
You were preparing me
For a better future!”
― Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
