New thoughts on Leviticus

I thought I blogged about it previously, but couldn't find it, on how out of the Old Testament came medicine and law, and now I'd like to add geography. Moses had to take another census and designate an alottment of land to the tribes depending on how many they represented. So at some point they needed to do some kind of mapping, geography, plotting, whatever it took to have a calculation of who got what piece of land. If you look at it that way, we now have medicine, law, and geography now prefaced by religion.
