  • Book of Numbers

    The Book of Numbers (from Greek Ἀριθμοί, Arithmoi; Hebrew: בְּמִדְבַּר, Bəmiḏbar, "In the desert [of]") is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible, and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah.

    Numbers begins at Mount Sinai, where the Israelites have received their laws and covenant from God and God has taken up residence among them in the sanctuary. The task before them is to take possession of the Promised Land. The people are numbered and preparations are made for resuming their march. The Israelites begin the journey, but they "murmur" at the hardships along the way, and about the authority of Moses and Aaron. For these acts, God destroys approximately 15,000 of them through various means. They arrive at the borders of Canaan and send spies into the land, but upon hearing the spies' fearful report concerning the conditions in Canaan the Israelites refuse to take possession of it, and God condemns them to death in the wilderness until a new generation can grow up and carry out the task. The book ends with the new generation of Israelites in the Plain of Moab ready for the crossing of the Jordan River.

    Num (god)

    Among the Nenets people of Siberia, the male Num was the sky god, the good creator of earth and the high god of the Nenets. Num is one of two demiurges, or supreme gods. The Nenets believed earth and all living things were created by the god Num and every heavenly sphere is ruled by one son of the Num god. Nga was his malevolent son.

    According to one story, the world threatened to collapse on itself. To try to halt this cataclysm a shaman sought the advice of Num. The shaman was advised to travel below the earth, to Nga's domain and call upon him. The shaman did as told and was wed with Nga's daughter. After that point he began to support the world in his hand and became known as "The Old Man of the Earth."

    In another myth, Num and Nga create the world, collaborating and also competing with each other — the myth is an example of dualistic cosmology.

    The word Num means heaven in Nenets.

    Atonic Atrocity

    by: Nomy

    I cant reach you anymore
    cause you wont open up the door
    Yeah I dont know you anymore
    It feels like I just died
    what you said cannot hide
    But you will care when I am gone
    For the weakness that we share non disparity
    for the past and joy of infinity
    our atrocity
    Lets sing out please do shout
    this song is made of sorrow
    Lets scream now you know how
    We need some time to borrow
    You laugh and cry
    You live and you die
    Yoou twist and turn, you crash and you'll burn
    like one, but two there's nothing we cant do
    burn ower roots we dont let now one
    I know that you're strong
    But sometimes you dont know when you are wrong
    But I still miss you when you're gone
    Thats why I give you another song
    And I'll sing it all night long
