who knows 1 to 50 is a daily drawing project to count the days of the omer. The omer is the period of time from the freedom festival of pesach to the festival of receiving knowledge on Shavuot. it is seven weeks, 7 x 7 days, with Shavuot as the 50th day. each day I will draw barley grains that correspond to the number of the day, exploring the poetry of the numbers.

who knows thirty?
Joseph was 30 when he met Pharaoh
David was 30 when he became king
Yair, a judge in ancient Israel, had 30 sons, who rode 30 asses, and had 30 cities
and Ibzan, another judge, had 30 sons, 30 daughters, and 30 daughters-in-law (and maybe 30 sons-in-law, the book of Judges doesn't say. Just that his daughters were sent away....)
Samson's parent brought him 30 companions, to whom he set a riddle with a wager of 30 sheets and 30 changes of clothing. Later Samson kills 30 men in Ashkelon.
