An elastic oblong rears abroad for Tank to look into. It, Tank, accepts the invitation, and seizes the spiralling stairs, with fun telescopic peerings between the rails and sides.
Isolated cameras flash as the ascent/descent progresses. Smoke and dubious futures await the pages ahead.

Shattered bars trickled through rustling veins leading to and from the lairs of other futures. Tank plucked a cluster like grapes, emptying the bristled packs to the linoleum.
But be careful of the smell, which may bring...

In Deuteronomy 23, certain people are excluded from the "congregation of YHWH", but the meaning is uncertain. Does it refer to the Temple, government, voting, etc.? I don't think it means being excluded from the nation completely. That doesn't align with God's character or the prophets. If that's what it meant, it would probably say "cut off from the people" or something like that. Rather than total exclusion from #israel, being excluded from the congregation of YHWH means being excluded from certain formal aspects of community life.

For example, inheritance of the covenant and land are central to Israelite identity. A eunuch (v1) has no heirs and so can never fully participate in that aspect of the community. He's a fruitless tree, a "dry twig". "Bastard" in v2 isn't about unwed parents. It's about the child of a forbidden union. He inherits neither covenant nor land. If he is faithful to Adonai, he is grafted into the nation like a former gentile.

“For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim.

Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord (Yahuwah) their God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The latter days are about the restoration of Israel not its destruction. That doesn't mean bad things won't happen, but God is working towards the goal of their ultimate deliverance.

A man shall not take his father's wife, so that he does not uncover his father's *kanaf*.
#deuteronomy 22:30

The ESV translates kanaf as "nakedness", but I think that's way off. The word refers to the hem of his garment. It is a sexual euphemism, but it's much more than that. It's also an allusion to the authority and responsibility (aka "covering") of a man over his wife and children. His wife isn't his covering; he is hers.

It's not an accident that rules about a father's responsibility for his daughter's behavior follow the command to tie tzitziyot to the hem of his garment.
