The Exodus was miraculous in many ways, but sometimes the practicality of the whole thing is what hits home with me. Everyday concerns and questions arise.
Yes, my rabbi teaches that clothes didn’t wear out during their time in the wilderness and that’s all fine and dandy; I just wonder how they stayed fresh. My undergarments get ripe after a couple days to a week, The Israelites spent 40 years or so in the exact same clothes? What if their body shape changed? It’s a bit mind-boggling. Did they all have just one set of clothes then? Or did the women posses chemises as well as daily wear clothing?
I don’t even want to contemplate the daily latrine issues.
