There is a Protestant practice of “turning up a verse” — i.e., when in doubt about any problem in life, go to a Bible, open it at random, with eyes closed, point to whatever verse your finger lands on, and take that as your answer.

Fascinating!

1 Now after these things in the reign of Artaxerxes king of the Persians, Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Helcias, 2 The son of Sellum, the son of Sadoc, the son of Achitob, 3 The son of Amarias, the son of Azarias, the son of Maraioth, 4 The son of Zarahias, the son of Ozi, the son of Bocci, 5 The son of Abisue, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest from the beginning. (1 Esdras 7:1-5)

Now, will someone please explain to me how this is the solution to ANYTHING.

I tried it:

Tob 11:9 Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail.

Now what in the world am I . . . oh wait, I have to feed Scoobie! Almost forgot.

I meant to add, you could always do it again until you find a verse that fits better. LOL

It’s meant to be a genealogy. I don’t know many people who turn up a verse. LOL.
