Ehud is one of the most controversial figures found anywhere in the Bible. His story is so strange that some scholars claim that this was never intended to be Biblical truth, but rather it is satirical piece that has somehow found its way into the history of Israel. This week we discuss the puns, the poop jokes, and why this despite all that it probably isn’t satire at all. We also discuss Shamgar Ben Anath, and why his name is the biggest clue as to who this one verse judge may have been.

Scriptures from this weeks episode:

Judges 3:12-31

Genesis 19

Deuteronomy 2:8-9
