- If anyone sins against another they shall pay back adding 1/5.
- If that person is kin, they shall make atonement before the priest.
- If a man becomes jealous, thinking his wife has been unfaithful he is to bring a grain offering without oil on it.
- This is a grain offering of jeoulousy and rememberance.
- The priest made the woman say an oath and then drink a water mixed with tabernacle soil drink (known as water of bitterness)and take an oath of the curse.
- If she has been unfaithful she will be cursed and her bowels will swell.
- What does it mean that "your thoighs will fall away"?
- If she has not been unfaithful then she shall bear children.

Song of Solomon 5

Romans 2
- Passing judgment on others condemns yourself.
- Do not be hypocritical
- God's patience is meant to lead to repentance.
- You are storing up wrath for yourself.
- Those who are self seeking will incur God's wrath.
- The evil Jew will be punished first and then the evil unrepentant Greek.
- God shows no partiality for Jews over Greeks.
- Those who sin without the law will be punished without the law but those who know the Law will be condemned by it.
- Is Paul saying that Gentiles who live well will NOT be judged because their unknowledge of the Law will excuse them?
- Paul is accusing Jews and believers from knowing and preaching the Truth to unbelievers while breaking those very same laws themselves.
- Paul says that circumsision is a matter of the heart not a physical thing because a Gentile who believes is more circumsisized than a sinful Jew.

Hebrews 3
- The writer appeals for the reader to consider Jesus who was faithful to God like Moses.
- The writer says Jesus has more glory because He built the "house" that Moses lived in.
- Moses was faithful as God's servant while Christ is faithful as God's son.
- The writer quotes God from the OT labeling it the Holy Spirit talking as God was talking to the constantly rebelling Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness.
- Need to be careful not to let unbelief and evilness lead us astray.
- Exhort one another every day ("as long as it is called today")
- The eveil Israelites were not allowed to enter because of their sinfulness, just like the people being addressed will not enter into God's presence if they fall away in their own sins.
