#15: Genesis 31 | I can't stand up now. Period.

Jacob, his four wives, and twelve children leave without saying goodbye, taking lots of Laban's stuff without permission - including his "gods". Laban and his sons chase after them. When they catch up to them, Laban searches for his graven images, but Rachel hid them in a box that she was sitting on and said, "I can't stand up because I'm menstruating." So that did it. No man back then would get near a menstruating woman! The text for each episode can be found at the Skeptic's Annotated Bible website, where we encourage you to read along with us.
