Now let’s use the scriptures and let’s solve this problem, and let’s see that there is no justification whatsoever to put this off into the second year, number one because it did not say it was the second year. Number two, because there were enough men to handle that. Now let’s continue right on here in Joshua 5, and let’s read what it says. Now remember, on the tenth day of Nisan there was the circumcision party. Now let’s read on. Let’s come down here to verse 10. Now remember, they couldn’t keep the Passover until they were circumcised. So now they keep the Passover. In this year, as we will see, I’ve got another chart to show you, the Passover fell on the weekly Sabbath, the first holy day fell on the first day of the week.

Let’s read it. “And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.” Now verse 11 is a key. “And they did eat of the old corn of the land [that’s what they had captured from the enemy] on the morrow after the passover,…” Now the morrow after the Passover is what? The 15^th day. “…Unleavened cakes, and parched corn [parched corn then means new grain] in the selfsame day [which is the 15^th]” (vs. 10-11). Now then, this tells us that the 15^th day, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Day, being a holy day, was the Wave Sheaf Offering Day. “Yea, but that’s the Sabbath and they’re not to do labor.” Whatever is required to keep the day can be done. If they needed to cut a sheaf to be waved, and if all of those who had fields that they could get into and cut a sheaf, they could do it because it was for the keeping of the day.

Now remember verse 11 says that on the morrow after the Passover that they ate the old corn of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. Now let’s come back to Leviticus 23 again here for just a minute, and let’s see something very important. Now, when only could they eat the bread or the grain? Come to Leviticus 23:14. “And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God:…” That is the Wave Sheaf Offering Day. Therefore, the morrow after the Sabbath when they ate the bread, and the grain, and the new grain, the wave sheaf offering had to have been offered, otherwise they were forbidden to do so, see. So the harvest that was planted by the Canaanites was not polluted because they held the seeds in their hand to plan it. The land was not polluted, because God was going to give it to the children of Israel. And besides, once you plant the seed into the ground, what happens to it? Even if we say it will pollute it because the Canaanites held it in their hand to sprinkle it out into the field, what happens to the grain? The grain dies, doesn’t it. And that which comes up is entirely different than what was planted, isn’t it? So there can be no pollution of the crop that the Canaanites had planted, and furthermore God gave it to them. Ok, now we’ve got the wave sheaf offering solved.

Now, let’s answer the question concerning, how could those men go around Jericho, when all of them had to be circumcised? Aha! Let’s come to Numbers 14, and let’s ask the question: did every single male, regardless of age in Joshua 5, have to be circumcised because they weren’t circumcised during their journey? Now let’s read here in Numbers 14:26, when they refused to go into the land, in spite of what Caleb and Joshua said, and let’s understand this very important thing. “And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against Me?” Now you need to stop and think about that, concerning pet doctrines, false doctrines, wrong attitudes. How long will God put up with us? “I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against Me. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in Mine ears, so will I do to you:…” (Nu. 14:26-28). See, because it says down here in verse 22, because they rebelled against Him ten times.

So here’s their judgment, verse 29. “Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward [mark that], which have murmured against Me, doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness” (vs. 29-33). That was God’s judgment on them. Let’s understand something very important. The ones that were under 20 years old, this being 18 months after they left Egypt, were circumcised before they left Egypt. So here you have a great number of young children and young teenagers up to the age of 20. Those 20 and over, they were to die. Those 20 and under, He says they’re going to enter in. So here you have a whole group that were circumcised the first time.

Now if we go back to Exodus 12, let’s go back there and let’s look at that, and let’s put here a little, there a little, precept upon precept, line upon line, let’s come back to Exodus 12 and let’s look at the number that went out from Rameses. Exodus 12:37, “And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men [now that’s not counting women], beside children.” Based upon this we have said, ok, there probably was one woman for every man, whether they were married or not, and at least one child for every man and woman. So if there were 600,000 men, 6000,000 women, 6000,000 children. Now then, how many of them were under 20? Now let’s do this. Let’s say, ok, half of the 600,000 children then, which were those under 20, half of them were women. So you couldn’t count them as having been circumcised because only the males were circumcised. So that leaves 300,000 male children, who then were 40 years older when it came time for the crossing of the Jordan. Now, of that 300,000 were there enough men of war to walk around Jordan the six days while the others were recovering from the circumcision? The answer is: without a doubt.

Now let’s come back to Joshua 5 and let’s see what happens. Let’s continue on. Let’s come back here to Joshua 5:11. Let’s pick it up in verse 12. Here’s a very important thing. If this was in the second year, then the manna would have to continue for another year because they could not eat bread, or green ears, or parched corn until the day that they had the wave sheaf offering. And if the wave sheaf was polluted because it was planted by the Canannites, yet God said it’s your harvest, then they would have to wait to the second year. Some people say, “Oh, that’s too long.” So this is the second Passover. Nowhere does it say this is the second Passover. It would clearly say, then, “on the 14^th day of the second month at even”, just like it did in Numbers 9. So you see, all the foolish of these arguments are just a matter of someone wanting to have a new and different doctrine, rather than believing the words that they believe.

Now let’s continue verse 12. “And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land;…” Now, they ate on the 15^th, so the morrow after the 15^th is the 16^th. “…Neither had the children of Israel manna any more;…” So it could not have gone into the second year. “…But they did eat the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.” Now then, how can anyone say it was the second year, because it says “that year”? Nowhere does it say the second year. Nowhere does it say the second month. Because remember we started out back here chapter 4:19, “…The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month…” Not the second month. Not the second year. That year. I don’t know how anyone can read this and come up with those doctrines, except that they’re just self-righteous with their own idolatry and they have their own ideas, and this becomes an idol. And they place it before God and they say, “God, I know better than you. I’ve got this brilliant idea.” Can’t be so.

Now let’s go on. Now verse 13, which then is on the 16^th. “And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship,…” That means this was God, because no one is to worship angels, as we find in the book of Revelation, and also in Colossians 2. “…And said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy.” That alone could be God. “And Joshua did so” (Joshua 5: 13-15).

Now let’s see the commands here. This is on the 16^th. Now in just a minute we’ll look at a chart and we will do some counting, and we will look at the different days, and we will see, and answer the question that has been asked: how could the men who were circumcised possibly on the last day, the seventh day of circling Jericho, get out there and fight? Well, we will see, very nicely, thank you. Because by that time they were undoubtedly healed, as we will show. Now let’s come on here to chapter 6.

“Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given unto thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war,…” Now who are all the men of war that had not been circumcised on the 10^th day of the first month when they crossed the Jordan? All those who were youngsters and children in Egypt who were circumcised before they left Egypt. Now they were anywhere from 59 going on back if it was a newborn that was circumcised just before he left, to 40 years old. So from 40 to 59 years old, do you not suppose that those men could be counted as men of war to walk around Jericho? No question about it. That’s why he said, “…All ye men of war, and go around about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him” (Joshua 6:1-5). So then Joshua got the priests. He told them what to do. He told the armed men what to do. He said, “This is what the LORD has said to do.”

Now then, let’s come down here to verse 12, and let’s see something very important. “And Joshua rose early in the morning,…” Now this has to be the 17^th, alright? We can get a story flow there, no doubt, you see, because you have the 14^th, you have the 15^th. On the morrow after the 15^th the manna ceased, which is the 16^th. Joshua was given the instruction by the Lord on the 16^th, so then verse 12, early on the morning on the 17^th Joshua rose up and the priests took the ark. Seven priests, seven trumpets doing exactly. The second day the compassed it, came to pass on the seventh day.

Now, let’s look at this other chart and let’s see exactly how these days flow together, and we will see that for the first six days the men of war were those who had been circumcised previously when they were children in the land of Egypt, and now they could walk around the six days while the rest were in the camp healing, who had not been circumcised all during the time that they were wandering in the wilderness. Now let’s look at this, and I think you will find it very interesting and profound, and we’ll answer the question that there cannot be a second year. This cannot be in the second month, and there was more than ample time for the men who were circumcised to heal.

Now let’s look at this chart. Month of Nisan, which is the first month. So I’ve listed out all 30 days, because there are always 30 days in Nisan. Now let’s focus in, beginning right here on the 10^th day. The 10^th day, cross the Jordan, circumcised. Then we come down. There’s the Passover on the Sabbath, here’s the Wave Sheaf Offering Day on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The 16^th, the morrow after that they ate the bread, the manna ceased. And the 16^th was when Joshua received the commands from the Lord. And then the 17^th is the day that they started walking around Jericho.

Now I’ve got some numbers up here to count by. Now let’s first of all look at the numbers in the square. The numbers in the square tell the number of days in which those who were circumcised, beginning with the 10^th, because they were circumcised and began healing immediately. And if none of you have ever seen a circumcision, or seen how quickly that they can heal, then you lack the understanding of it. But nevertheless let’s see how many days that they had. The 10^th is one, two, three, four. Now the third day they’re sore. We find that when Simeon and Levi came against those who had sex with Dinah, their sister, ok, and they killed them cause they were sore and couldn’t do anything, ok? Four, five. So it’s inclusive counting, ok. Six, seven. So they had seven days for healing before the manna stopped and the instructions were given to Joshua by the Lord. Now we continue on. Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. As we will see, the 14^th day is the day that they compassed Jericho seven times. So we have that.

Now then, let’s look at the Feast of Unleavened Bread. I’ve got it circled with this number, right here. Here’s the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So the seventh day of Unleavened Bread is a weekly Sabbath. That’s why they didn’t circle it seven times on the weekly Sabbath, nor go in and conquer Jericho, because that would be violating the Sabbath. However, those men of war and the priests could walk around once around Jericho because that was probably not much more than an allowable Sabbath days journey.

Now let’s come down here and look at the third set of numbers that I have. Which is this: early in the morning after Joshua received his instructions on the 16^th, early in the morning he got up, gave the instructions to the priests and the men, and this is the first day that they circled Jericho. So let’s count these days in the little triangle. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And all the people then, walked around, seven times. And the seventh day, which was on a Monday, which was perfectly legal for warring. It didn’t involve the Sabbath, and moreover, those who were circumcised on the 10^th, now had 14 days of healing, so they would have no problem participating in the conquering of Jericho, and taking of the spoils. So there you have it all laid out from the sequence of events as we have in Joshua 5. So as you can see visually, there is no reason to say that because they were circumcised it had to be in the second month, or in the second year. Such is not the case.

Now let’s come to 2 Chronicles 30, because we want to talk about something concerning the Days of Unleavened Bread, and also Pentecost. Here we have a case, and this is important to understand, that the temple was so polluted at the time when Hezekiah became king, that he had to have the priests clean it out. Now they started cleaning it out, they started going through and cleansing everything, and making the temple ready. However, they were not able to get it done until the 16^th day of the first month. Too late for the Passover, too late for the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Now notice, so they send out messengers and said, “Ok, we have taken council with the priests and we have decided that according to the scriptures we’re going to keep it in the second month, so you all come the second month.”

Now let’s come to 2 Chronicles 30:13. “And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.” Now what does this tell us. It tells us this very plainly: that if Joshua 5 had been in the second month it would have said so, just like it did here, correct? Yes. Just like it did in Numbers 9, correct? Yes.

Now let’s come over to verse 21. “And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem, kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.” And it was so great that the whole council, verse 23, the whole company took counsel and said, “Hey, let’s keep it another seven days.” So they did. Now there wouldn’t be anything wrong with that because they were coming out of all the paganism, out of all the idolatry and they were purging the leaven. Not only had the temple been cleansed, but the people had been cleansed who came to keep the feast of unleavened bread, and now let’s see what happened after they had kept it the second seven days.

Now this is in the second month, so another seven days puts you toward the end of the second month, beginning into the third month. And into the third month you get into Pentecost. Now let’s see what they did between this time, which also gives us an example of what we need to be doing in our lives in getting rid of sin.

Now 2 Chronicles 31:1, “Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all.” Now brethren, that’s what we need to do with our sins. And that’s what needs to be done with the idols of the false doctrine concerning Joshua 5. They need to be destroyed and obliterated because they are idols before God, teaching false doctrine. “Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.” Then Hezekiah appointed the priests, and so forth.

Now let’s come up here to verse 4. “Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD. And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn [which then is grain], wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly” (vs. 4-5). Now we also have another false doctrine, which people are bowing down to, which is the idol of the almighty dollar. They claim that in the New Testament… Now we’ll approach this when we come to Hebrews 7, and the priesthood of Melchesidec, and the situation concerning the Levites and the commands in the New Testament. But nonetheless they claim that in the New Testament there are no commands for tithing. Now we will see that is absolutely wrong because they don’t know how to rightly divide the scriptures.

And moreover, many people when they read the Old Testament assume that tithes were only given on crops and herds. That those who were shoemakers, and bakers, those who were bankers, those who traded in gold and silver, those who manufactured things, those who dug out gold and silver and mined, or brass, or tin, that they didn’t have to tithe. And that is a completely false assumption because number one here it says, “…and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly” which has got to be in addition to the agricultural crops listed here of the grain, and the wine, and oil, and honey, the increase of the field, and the tithe of all things they brought in abundantly.

Now, let’s just digress a little bit here and let’s come back to Deuteronomy 8 and let’s look at something. Before we go there we’ll stop at Numbers 18, then we’ll go to Deuteronomy 8. So just put a little fold there in your pages and come to Numbers 18. And let’s read this very clearly and let’s understand what it’s saying, and let’s realize that these are false doctrines. A complete misapprehension. Do you suppose that the farmers would consider that God was fair and not a respecter of persons if He did not require other people to tithe of their increase, though it was not agriculturally based? Do you not think that there would have been great riots, and because what did the children of Israel always do when they felt that a commandment of God was not fair? They complained and murmured to God, didn’t they? But nowhere do we find that there was a complaint against God because only those who had herds and flocks, and lands that produced agricultural products, that they were the only ones required to tithe.

Now, the Old Testament spends a great deal of time in explaining how to tithe these theses, because it’s far more complicated than when you’re dealing with money. A ten percent of money is very easy to figure. It doesn’t take, not even a rocket scientist to figure that out. Ok. Let’s come to Numbers 18:21. Now let’s read this carefully. “And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance,…” Now all the tenth. It does not say, “I’ve given to the children of Levi all the tenth of the increase of the field, of the flocks, of the herds,” because there was more to tithe upon than that. So it says all the tenth in Israel, because you see, that which was derived from flocks, and herds, and crops is part of the tenth, not all the tenth. So therefore this makes that clear. You know, we need to read the scriptures clearly.

Now let’s come back here to Deuteronomy 8 so we can also understand that 2 Chronicles 31 is also correct when it says, “And they brought the tithe of everything, the abundance of everything.” Now, let’s first of all begin here in verse 17. “And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.” Now notice it didn’t say, this land. This wealth. What does the wealth include? We’ll see in just a minute. Verse 18. “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Quite profound, isn’t it? See, because, as they were coming up to the time of Pentecost there in 2 Chronicles 31, they were bringing the firstfruits and the tithes of everything.

Now, let’s come back here and let’s see what they were told. Let’s begin here in verse 3. Here’s why they went through the wilderness all that time. “And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not [or that is you never understood what it was], neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” And that includes financial things. And living in a Laodicean society, yes, they want to have their money, don’t they? Yes, they do. So therefore they figure out a doctrine where they can scheme to take what belongs to God. And almost every time, sooner or later, something happens. Disaster, false doctrine, sickness, disease, loss of business, etc., has been the observation of those who steal from God.

So let’s read on. Let’s come down here, continue on. “Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.” And Numbers 18:21, the tithe, all the tithe, all the tenth in Israel was required. “For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land,…” Now here’s part of the wealth. Wealth in includes land, but it’s not the only source of wealth. “…A land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it;…” Now notice, here’s some more wealth. “…A land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass” (vs. 4-9). Who created the iron? Who created the brass? The same God that created the crops, right? So this is also tied in because that is wealth.

“When thou hast eaten and art full [and today, America has eaten and is full, and dwells in sealed houses, doesn’t it?], then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which He hath given thee [which gives you the ability for all of this wealth].” Now verse 11, “Beware [because this happens] that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day: lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply [which is to be tithed upon], and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied [which then is a source of wealth and is to be tithed upon], and all that thou hast is multiplied [which is to be tithed upon]; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;…” (vs. 10-14). Now, that’s why 2 Chronicles 31 is so important.

But let’s come over here. And I know that there are going to be some people out there who are going to say, “Oh, Fred Coulter. You are just really being mean and miserable about this.” Well, let’s understand something. In the New Testament we have the widows mite. In the Old Testament we have those who are poor, who come to the temple, who give a meal offering. But everyone was required to give something. God does require it. Now, I’m not requiring it, because I’m demanding of you. What I’m doing, I’m showing you what God says, and it does tie in to the things concerning the firstfruits. If we are the firstfruits of God then we ought to honor God, shouldn’t we?

Now let’s come over here to Malachi 3:7. “Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them.” Now let’s see how He equates these ordinances. “Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?” That surely can’t mean money. That surely can’t mean tithes. That surely can’t mean that God demands that. Verse 8, “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed Me.” See, because when you don’t honor God with your firstfruits, when you don’t honor God with your tithes, you’re robbing God. And you’re also robbing yourself because you’re keeping back the blessings that God wants to give you. “Wherein have we robbed thee?” The answer is: “In tithes and offerings” (Mal. 3:7-8).

Now let’s understand something profound. The Old Testament is in the letter of the law, is it not? Yes. The New Testament is in the spirit of the law, is it not? Yes. That’s why Christ pointed out that the widows mite was greater than the abundance than those who gave because they had much. And that is the spirit of the law. Now we’ll talk more about that when we come to Hebrews 7. Now notice what happens when you don’t do this. “Ye are cursed with a curse:…” And I’ve seen that happen over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, and I have yet to see one man who claims that, “Oh, we don’t need to tithe in the New Testament. But actually we should give more than a tithe.” They come out with a very self-righteous statement. I have yet to see one of them perform. “Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed Me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, and prove Me now herewith,…” Did they store gold? Did they store silver? Did they store precious stones at the temple? Yes, they did. Did they store coins? Yes, they did. “…That there may be meat in Mine house,…” So God challenges you, you see. Now here, “…saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it” (vs. 9-10).

“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,…” (vs. 11). Are we devoured by disease? Are we devoured by demons? Are we devoured by not having enough to do the things we need to do because we don’t do what God commands us to do first? Yes, indeed. Is this whole nation cursed with a curse? Yes. In debt up over beyond the eyeballs. One day the bill is coming due. Now we have just time for one thing more to finish concerning Pentecost.

Let’s come to Acts 2, please. Now let’s begin in verse 1. It’s appropriate that we end here, because the Day of Pentecost, which is tomorrow, commemorates the day when God sent the Holy Spirit so the apostles could preach in power, and that those who were converted, and repented, and baptized could receive the Holy Spirit. And it was during the Day of Pentecost.

Now, the King James says that when the Day of Pentecost was fully come, then it explains what happens. But the first part of verse 1 is a very special Greek infinitive. It’s called an articular infinitive. We don’t have a such thing in English. And it’s a present tense articular infinitive, which means, during the fulfilling of the 50^th day, or the Day of Pentecost that these things took place.

Now I’m going to read it out of the new translation here. “And when the day of Pentecost, the fiftieth day was being fulfilled,…” That is an accurate literal translation of the articular infinitive from the Greek. “…They were all with one accord in the same place.” And brethren, that’s the whole meaning and purpose of the Day of Pentecost, that we all be of one accord, we all be of one mind, we all be of one heart, we all strive after the things that God wants spiritually. To love God with all our hearts, and all our minds, and all of our soul, and all of our being. And as Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” And so the Day of Pentecost has an awful lot to do with our future. And as we will see tomorrow, the very resurrection to eternal life.
