Jordan - Joshua 15
This chapter and a few chapters before it end with "to this day." Its a constant reminder to me that these are fabled stories of the Jewish people. They capture a history through spoken word and the exaggerations likely grew with each story teller. Yet, with an oral tradition, its amazing that all of the specific towns and cities and names of kings are captured. I think the art of story telling has really been lost. When was the last time you heard an orator in the park? Wouldn't that be awesome?
