Where did the hebrew kings get the time? Whenever one of those men became king, he had to

write his own copy of the five books of Moses.  From Genesis, through Deuteronomy ; that's about 240 pages - about the size of whatever it's called that phd's have to write, in order to get their doctorate.  Thing is, that guy at work, he has a computer.  King David didn't even have a manual typewriter.  From what i understand, back then, they wrote upon vellum - some kind of animal product.  Can only guess, a scroll was about five yards in length.  They wrote on both sides.  

From what i can figure, a typical Bible page is about 5 inches wide - but, for figuring sake, will make it 6 inches.  A 15 foot scroll would accommodate about 30 pages of text; then there's the other side to write upon.  So, the scroll would accommodate some 60 pages.  Such a scroll would be enough for Genesis, about 55 pages.  For Exodus, King David would have to get another scroll; after penning the 50-some pages, he would need another for Leviticus, some 35 pages; so, with all the scrolls in the supply cabinet, his secretary might grab one a bit shorter.  For Numbers, he'd need a 15 footer scroll, since Numbers runs about 50 pages.  The fifth scroll would accommodate Deuteronomy, which is just a bit over 40 pages.

Oh but wait, the fun hasn't even started.  If i am not mistaken, no erasure was allowed - maybe, for ordering chariot parts, but not for this.  If you missed a word, or wrote "was" instead of "is," too bad for you.  The scroll - yeah, and you were about half way through the other side - couldn't merely be pitched.  It had to be burnt - i.e., Start Over.  

I'll bet kings did their Law copying in the morning, before any of the round of staff meetings ... with one or more people, any boss would just love to throttle.
