Absurdity in Nehemiah

  1. Nehemiah gets so upset that he shakes his lap. 5:13

  2. God's magical Urim and Thummim 7:65

  3. Here we are told that the whole congregation totaled 42,360. But if we just total up the numbers given in Neh.7:8-62 we come up with only 31,089. 7:66

  4. Nehemiah rebukes the men for marrying "strange wives." To punish them he "contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair." 13:25-27
