39/66

39/66 = 13/22 = 0.59090909 . . . = a failing grade = a really weird visual acuity = the worst time signature ever. More to the point of this post, 39 happens to be the number of books in the Old Testament, out of 66 books of the Bible. Which is to say, I have finally finished reading the Old Testament in its entirety. I’m not going to say when exactly I started, but let’s just say I haven’t been following one of those “read the Bible in a year” plans.

I did, however, make it through all the sacrificial laws, genealogies, and major and minor prophets, including Zechariah’s seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps; Daniel’s goats, rams, and horns; and Ezekiel’s eye-rimmed wheels. And now, onward to the New Testament.
