Um, look forward to maybe us starting there and much to unravel from there.

Yeah, so the, this text is maddeningly unclear.

[laughs] The complaint seems to come out of nowhere, and it's not very easy to make sense of.

So, um, uh, e- and it, this is frustrating, but it's also an exciting thing about how narratives can work.

Um, we don't necessarily, uh, shouldn't necessarily expect to be told everything.

Uh, in many ways, uh, narrative stories, they engage us by asking us to activate knowledge we already have, and that's an exciting part of being a reader of Torah, is what we bring to the text.

This is a little challenging because [laughs] um, the, uh, what Miriam's beef is depends on what Cush means.

And perhaps thank goodness for that.
