This is the Bamo podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we look at the

multi-faceted dialogue and the many voices found within the profits that represent the battling

perspectives found in the world of God's people as they attempt to respond to the effects of exile.

It's a good sentence right there. We worked on it.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this podcast. This is kind of the, we're going to have one more podcast

to close out or capstone lesson next. But this is one that I added to our schedule because I just

to a podcast, especially if you're driving. Imagine a table, you know, a dining room table.

Maybe not a modern, imagine an ancient table. And there's a meal set, not a huge elaborate feast.

There's a small, nice meal set at this table, many different places. And this table is set during

the Babylonian time period. It's during the Babylonian conquest, the Babylonian exile. We looked at a lot
