Rationalism it was: instead of bothering with heads they proved the number with foreskins. Much lighter and safer to store for longer time.
I think the reasoning is that since Jews lacked foreskins but their neighbors the philistines had them, bringing the foreskins showed that it was not Jews you went out to kill. It's like if you wanted someone to kill 100 rattler snakes and as proof you bring 100 rattlers as that's their distinctive body part.
So we actually have found some logic in Bible? Unexpected...
I mean, the "logic" that led to the Israelites not having foreskin to begin with isn't exactly rock solid.
yeah but how else are you going to give hepatitis to a baby?
suck its dick?
The Catholics way?
(Some) Jews do that as part of the circumcision ceremony—Metzitzah B'Peh.
I thought you were joking 💀
the rabbi also gave them herpes once ...
It's not like it... They litterally brought the rattlers
No, he literally brought foreskins. That's like bringing rattlers.
Historically, heads weren’t all that common. Usually only for specific bounties where you’d need to show it was the right person.
For more general things, scalps, ears, and fingers were all far more common.
I mean think about it. It’s gruesome enough on its own. But, fondling dead guy dick is… especially unpleasant. (And they probably stank.)
Especially unpleasant for XXI century guy? Yes. Might have been totally indifferent 2000 years ago, though.
Yeah, they were used to stink.
"Especially unpleasant"
After the first five they wouldn't even flinch. No different than taking a scalp, or the head. A veteran warrior would already have done so much worse, this would be an easy task.
