I set a goal for myself this year to read the Torah (The Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im (The Prophets), & the Kethuvim (The Writings). I was really excited and making much progress when I started. The Torah is very different from the King James version of the Bible. I actually understand the Torah & find it to be very interesting. As I said I was making much progress and read through Genesis, Exodus, & Leviticus quite fast. Then I got to Numbers.... I've been stuck in Numbers for almost a month & there is only 36 chapters! Now I have some insight as to why it takes an entire year to read Torah once through. Most of the year must be spent learning about the Israelites population census and how to properly do sacrifices.
