One of my favorite Bible stories is in 2 Kings Chapter 2 when the prophet Elisha cursed some 42 small children for making fun of him being bald-headed and a couple of bears came and ripped them to pieces.

In the OT, God doesn’t mess around.

Interesting.

I don't claim to have ever "studied" the bible, but I thought I had read most of it, and didn't remember that.

After reading one English translation of that, my curiosity is piqued. I would love to read other, more ancient translations to see how the original (Hebrew?) phrase has been translated over time.

Now on my list of things to do.
