from Wholly Buyable · host Chas Bayfield
Having spent multiple chapters taking down notes for the design of Jerusalem's new temple, Ezekiel sees a dramatic vision of a great river flowing from beneath the building.A river so fast and wide that after less than a mile, it is impossible to swim across. The prophet then believes he hears God telling him the tribal boundaries of a new Israel. Unsurprisingly, Ezekiel's book continues to surprise and delight to the very last word.Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins MusicCover art by Lisa GoffE: [email protected]: Wholly Buyable PodcastConversionsLengths45 feet = 13.7m60 feet = 18.3m125 yards = 114.3m290 yards = 265m500 yards = 460m1 mile = 1.6km1⅔ miles = 2.7km2 miles = 3.2km3 miles = 4.8km5 miles = 8km5.7 miles = 11km6 miles = 9.65lm7 miles = 9kmWeights + volumes6/lb = 2.7kg⅓ gallon = 1.5 litres40lb = 18.1kg1 gallon = 3.8 litresEphah = 35lb / 15.9kgBath = 5.8 gallons / 22 litresHomer = 58 gallons / 220 litresShekel = 0.4oz / 12gGerah = 0.02oz / 0.06gMap of the New Israelhttps://jbqnew.jewishbible.org/assets/Uploads/341/341_utopian.pdf
