My favorite story from the Bibble is when during the march of the penguins Hebrews to Canaan, the Hebrews got hungry and whiney. I would likely feel the same taking 40 years to get out of the desert (biblical numerology meaning why the fuck are we still in the desert Moses how do you get lost when you can see the sea and only have to march 450ish miles (at an ungenerous 5 miles per day that takes 3 months)). So YHWH sent them magical floor-bread every night. Then the Hebrews collectively rejected the concept of divine floor-bread and demanded holy floor-meat. So YHWH sent so many quail quesadillas to the Hebrew invasion march that they (and this imagery is part of the Bibble) were so full of quail that it came out their noses. I think the version I read first time said they ate quail until they vomited out they nose, all of them did it’s in numbers. At… I can’t remember the supposed numbers of the mythical march out of Egypt but let’s say 50k-100k people (per tribe? Idk just multiply by 12 I ain’t being paid to be a calculator right now) that’s so much vomit.
Goofy ol YHWH. Act like you don’t like his magic floor bread and he’ll send quails to run around in your sinuses or whatever.
Oh most certainly I’m just pointing out that Bible literalism dies on the throne of ancient culture, another one is forty days and forty nights most likely just means a long time.
As you noted it’s still got a enough kick to it that you could revive it easily.
TBF if you’ve read any of the old testament, god is a total asshole and always was.

So the quail thing almost sounds like a badly translated saying or folk term. Like raining cats and dogs for comparison.
Yeah but it’s a great saying. I’m full up to my nose of this food I ate so much.
