A Census in the Holy Land
Date Posted: August 6th, 2007
This is not the biblical census. Despite the insinuations of my children to the effect that I go back a long time, I can assure you that I was born many centuries later! Nevertheless, for those of you who are still young, this census technology will appear quite ancient.
Towards the end of the ’50s, Israel was busy taking a census. I was lucky to be given a temporary (technical) job to help out. I was quite excited, for I couldn’t imagine how the results would be compiled.
