A3 I'm not sure if they'd consider the fire pans dangerous. On the one hand, fire pans may be an important part of their technological infrastructure and people are used to their hazards. On the other hand, 250 fire pans seem like a lot to have in one place: somebody might trip. #ParshaChat
Oh wow, I hadn't even thought about *250*! That reminds me of what it's like when lots and lots of people decide to set off fireworks in their streets on the 4th of July. #ParshaChat
And that ties the whole discussion back in a loop, with protest, power, community, and safety www.latimes.com/california/s... #ParshaChat
250 people all doing something with fire simultaneously has certain innate hazards even *aside* from the theological dangers here and even *aside* from the danger of insurrection. #ParshaChat
Thinking of this as 250 men bringing fire pans makes me think of the torches and pitchforks rebellion trope. Moses *telling* all those rebels to show up with fire is... a move of some kind. #ParshaChat tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...
What a powerful pivot!! #ParshaChat
