Today's Reading - July 7, 2010

1 Chronicles 4:5-5:17
Acts 25:1-27
Psalm 5:1-12
Proverbs 18:19


Question of the day: Why would the Simeonites feel so free to kill the descendants of Ham, who were descended from Noah, as were the Simeonites?

Ham was a son of Noah, who had two other sons, Shem and Japheth. The tribes of Israel (including the tribe of Simeon) were descended from Shem. The animosity goes back to the events relayed in Genesis 9:20-25, where Noah was angry with Ham, and cursed his descendants.
