Biblical Question: Bible Thumpers Only?

Question

I really hope someone can help me. I'm trying to find the scripture in the Bible where someone told the children of Israel that they shouldn't "dig by the foot". It's in the old testament, somewhere between Exodus and Numbers. Possibly Dueteronomy. They were speaking to the children of Israel before they went into Canaan. A pastor preached from it, and I forgot to write it down. Where did it come from????

If you aren't familiar with the Bible, sorry. I really don't want any smart aleck comments. Question was posted as "Bible Thumpers Only". Thanks.

And...I'm a little thrown off that some of you "Christians" are offended that I said Bible Thumper. I'm a Bible Thumper. I was being facetious. Why would I be asking this question otherwise? This is precisely why non-Chrstians label us as hypocritical and maniacal.

Answer 1

Are you thinking Deut. 11:10?
"...and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs."

or maybe Deut. 10:24?
"Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours...."

Can't look into it right now, but that may help!

Answer 2

I don't mind the term "Bible Thumper." It reminds me of a story I read in a magazine.

A guy walked into a gas station, pulled out a gun and told the cashier to give him all the money from the register. A preacher happened to be there with his Bible. Hard-cover. He snuck up behind the criminal and WHACK! Knocked the criminal out cold with his Bible. I love that story.

Anyway, I'm not sure exactly where this is found, but Leviticus talks a lot about the foot. If possible, go ask the pastor where it was found.

Answer 3

Well, since the bible thumpers are always posting unwated smart aleck comment to everyone else's questions, sorry! You're S.O.L.

My advice: Free your mind, and your @ss will follow! LOL (In other words, dump the slave religion!)

Answer 4

I think that Kathy J has your answer. Based on what I read in your question, and doing a search through various translations, it appears to be the best choice. It isn't so much a command that they can't "dig by the foot," but that they won't have to, to irrigate their fields.

"For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:" (Deuteronomy 11:10)

Answer 5

warfare and Peace...it is the two....wow that became into straightforward. concerning to Joseph's father...the term son could additionally propose grandson or descendant. additionally, some pupils say that Jacob became into his father and Heli his criminal father yet the two have been from David. additionally, some say Heli became into Mary's father and positioned that way considering lineage became into traced by the guy Now the others. Are you rather speaking concerning to the day of the week. Now this would be a susceptible argument. The day does not relatively count selection anyhow. it is what He did that counts. This basically exhibits that the Bible became into written via distinctive witnesses yet all their money owed line up...oh, different than the day i think. gee whiz... i understand you have have been given greater effective questions than that ;) (oh my mistake *slapping brow*...you reported who became into on the tomb...nicely, the two have been. John basically reported one. i assumed this became into the sabbath question) Oh, and that i do no longer think of i've got ever thumped a Bible.

Not sure whether I qualify as a "Bible Thumper...but I did do an electronic search of the King James, which which lists a total of 13 uses of the word "dig" -- not quite like what you are citing. Have a look and see if any of these fit:

Maybe that will help.

Grace to you and God Bless!

FYI...(Deuteronomy comes after Numbers) ((Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy))

But not a Bible Thumper... :o)

Answer 8

Your going to have to be a little more plain about what you are asking because there isn't any passage that I can find that's like that. When you say "dig by the foot" do you men dig with your foot, dig by the measure of one foot, dig near your foot?

Answer 9

I thought Thumpers were those devices used in the book Dune to call the giant worms?
Well I guess the christians are the same thing then. Worms.

Answer 10
