Numbers 6:25 – What Makes God’s Face Shine?
In one sermon, a pastor announced that he would preach on Noah and the Ark the following Sunday, and gave the scriptural reference for the congregation to read ahead of time. A couple of boys noticed something interesting about the placement of the story in the Bible. They slipped into the church and glued two pages of the pulpit Bible together. The next Sunday, the preacher got up to read his text. "Noah took unto himself a wife," he began, "and she was" - he turned the page to continue - "three hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high." He paused, scratched his head, turned the page back, read it silently, and turned the page again. Then he looked up at his congregation and said, "I’ve been reading this old Bible for near fifty years, but there are some things in it that are hard to believe."Noah was a pleasure to the Lord – Gen.6:8
