How many moments like this are there in the multi-layered text of Torah? How many parallel stories in Genesis were preserved by this desire to keep alive the unreconcileable stories of neighbor and friend? How many incompatible lists of leaders in Numbers maintain the memories of real people long since lost to us? How many fragments are stitched in with all their contradictions out of a furious refusal to let anyone go without a fight? How much love this represents! Every seam, every doublet, every revision an active choice to prioritize inclusion over homogeny, community over rhetorical purity, building together over winner-takes-all.
