Deuteronomy 30:1-3

“1 Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God drives you, 2 and you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you.

Now, on our calendar, it was the year 1948.  But the way the Jewish people measure time, it was the year 5708.  Here’s the part that blows my mind:

The verse in bold letters just happens to be the 5,708th verse counting from Genesis 1:1.
