#82 Elisha, 2 She-bears, and 42 Children walk into a bar…

Jodie and Matthew dive into 2 Kings 2:19-25 to discuss the infamous story of Elisha sending 2 female bears to maul 42 children. It’s your classic Bible story with all the warm fuzzy feelings you’re familiar with, right? Wrong. It’s a weird story with no meaning we can be really certain about, but it provides a great context for Jodie and Matthew to introduce the books of Kings, explore the nature of bears in the Bible, extinction studies relating to the Bible, and look at a handful of potential interpretations of what is going on in 2 Kings 2.
