00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.039

Pharaoh<00:17:39.799><c> still</c><00:17:40.059><c> had</c><00:17:40.259><c> his</c><00:17:40.500><c> eyes</c><00:17:41.000><c> to</c><00:17:41.420><c> his</c><00:17:41.720><c> priests</c>

00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:44.640
and<00:17:43.299><c> his</c><00:17:43.539><c> families.</c>

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.859
And<00:17:45.339><c> the</c><00:17:45.460><c> priestesses</c><00:17:46.099><c> with</c><00:17:46.500><c> their</c><00:17:46.700><c> title</c><00:17:46.960><c> deeds,</c>

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:50.240
he<00:17:48.440><c> had</c><00:17:48.599><c> to</c><00:17:48.720><c> be</c><00:17:48.920><c> careful</c><00:17:49.180><c> of</c><00:17:49.400><c> those.</c>

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.579
And<00:17:51.019><c> he</c><00:17:51.160><c> did</c><00:17:51.400><c> not</c><00:17:51.619><c> learn</c><00:17:51.960><c> truly</c><00:17:52.339><c> of</c><00:17:53.200><c> the</c><00:17:53.380><c> God</c><00:17:53.500><c> of</c><00:17:53.680><c> Jacob.</c>

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:56.440
So<00:17:55.359><c> those</c><00:17:55.700><c> were</c><00:17:55.960><c> protected</c>

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:58.539
and<00:17:57.140><c> they</c><00:17:57.460><c> had</c><00:17:57.599><c> their</c><00:17:57.920><c> own</c><00:17:58.220><c> portion</c>

00:17:58.539 --> 00:18:01.839

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.700
And<00:18:02.859><c> then</c><00:18:02.960><c> we</c><00:18:03.079><c> come</c><00:18:03.160><c> to</c><00:18:03.319><c> the</c><00:18:03.460><c> end</c><00:18:03.720><c> of</c><00:18:03.880><c> the</c><00:18:04.119><c> seven</c><00:18:04.339><c> years</c><00:18:04.599><c> of</c><00:18:04.819><c> famine,</c>

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.259
or<00:18:06.339><c> very</c><00:18:06.519><c> nearly</c><00:18:06.740><c> so.</c>

00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:08.900
And<00:18:08.039><c> verse</c><00:18:08.160><c> 23,</c>

00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:10.700
and<00:18:09.380><c> Joseph</c><00:18:09.640><c> says</c><00:18:09.980><c> to</c><00:18:10.180><c> the</c><00:18:10.319><c> people,</c>

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:13.880
behold,<00:18:11.480><c> I</c><00:18:11.619><c> have</c><00:18:12.099><c> balked</c><00:18:12.460><c> you</c><00:18:12.680><c> this</c><00:18:12.980><c> day.</c>

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:16.099
We're<00:18:14.220><c> all</c><00:18:14.519><c> balked</c><00:18:14.859><c> with</c><00:18:15.039><c> a</c><00:18:15.220><c> price.</c>

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.420
He<00:18:16.279><c> had</c><00:18:16.420><c> all</c><00:18:16.619><c> the</c><00:18:16.779><c> people</c><00:18:16.980><c> now.</c>

00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:20.539
He<00:18:17.880><c> had</c><00:18:18.019><c> all</c><00:18:18.240><c> the</c><00:18:18.400><c> lands</c><00:18:18.779><c> in</c><00:18:19.119><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:18:20.079><c> care,</c>

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:23.200
except<00:18:21.079><c> for</c><00:18:21.299><c> the</c><00:18:21.500><c> priests</c><00:18:21.779><c> and</c><00:18:22.000><c> their</c><00:18:22.200><c> portions.</c>

00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:26.220
But<00:18:23.839><c> now</c><00:18:24.119><c> here</c><00:18:24.339><c> is</c><00:18:24.599><c> where</c><00:18:24.799><c> Joseph</c><00:18:25.339><c> shows,</c><00:18:25.700><c> I</c><00:18:26.000><c> think,</c>

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:29.299
his<00:18:26.519><c> total</c><00:18:26.859><c> justice</c><00:18:27.480><c> and</c><00:18:28.140><c> his</c><00:18:28.420><c> fairness.</c>

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:32.039
And<00:18:29.920><c> he</c><00:18:30.079><c> must,</c><00:18:30.319><c> I</c><00:18:30.420><c> think,</c><00:18:30.599><c> have</c><00:18:30.779><c> discussed</c><00:18:31.180><c> with</c><00:18:31.539><c> Pharaoh</c><00:18:31.779><c> now</c>

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.880
his<00:18:32.240><c> future</c><00:18:32.559><c> plans</c><00:18:32.980><c> and</c><00:18:33.539><c> agreed</c><00:18:33.740><c> with</c><00:18:33.920><c> him</c><00:18:34.059><c> what</c><00:18:34.220><c> should</c><00:18:34.380><c> be</c><00:18:34.599><c> done.</c>

00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.180
The<00:18:35.640><c> famine</c><00:18:35.920><c> is</c><00:18:36.140><c> about</c><00:18:36.400><c> to</c><00:18:36.660><c> end.</c>

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.980
Was<00:18:37.720><c> Pharaoh</c><00:18:38.099><c> to</c><00:18:38.480><c> keep</c><00:18:38.759><c> all</c><00:18:39.380><c> the</c><00:18:39.619><c> Egyptians</c><00:18:39.960><c> as</c><00:18:40.259><c> his</c><00:18:40.500><c> slaves?</c>

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.519
Was<00:18:41.660><c> he</c><00:18:41.799><c> to</c><00:18:42.000><c> keep</c><00:18:42.180><c> all</c><00:18:42.519><c> the</c><00:18:42.680><c> land?</c>

00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:45.900
So<00:18:44.539><c> what</c><00:18:44.660><c> does</c><00:18:44.779><c> he</c><00:18:44.880><c> do?</c>

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:48.240
Joseph<00:18:46.279><c> gives</c><00:18:46.660><c> then</c><00:18:46.859><c> the</c><00:18:47.119><c> instructions.</c>

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.099
Behold,<00:18:48.819><c> I</c><00:18:48.940><c> have</c><00:18:49.140><c> balked</c><00:18:49.380><c> you</c><00:18:49.480><c> this</c><00:18:49.779><c> day</c>

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:51.579
and<00:18:50.460><c> your</c><00:18:50.680><c> land</c><00:18:50.980><c> for</c><00:18:51.279><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.980
First<00:18:52.059><c> of</c><00:18:52.240><c> all,</c><00:18:52.440><c> here</c><00:18:52.579><c> is</c><00:18:52.819><c> seed</c><00:18:53.039><c> and</c><00:18:53.200><c> ye</c><00:18:53.339><c> shall</c><00:18:53.480><c> sow</c><00:18:53.680><c> it.</c>

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:54.400
Right?

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:56.359
Go<00:18:54.960><c> back</c><00:18:55.160><c> to</c><00:18:55.259><c> your</c><00:18:55.440><c> land</c><00:18:55.619><c> and</c><00:18:55.880><c> sow</c><00:18:56.079><c> it.</c>

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:57.519
The<00:18:56.779><c> famine</c><00:18:56.980><c> is</c><00:18:57.200><c> ending.</c>

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:59.920
The<00:18:57.960><c> seven</c><00:18:58.160><c> years</c><00:18:58.440><c> are</c><00:18:58.640><c> nearly</c><00:18:58.799><c> past.</c>

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:02.000
Whether<00:19:00.299><c> that</c><00:19:00.519><c> was</c><00:19:00.700><c> yet</c><00:19:00.900><c> visible</c><00:19:01.220><c> in</c><00:19:01.380><c> the</c><00:19:01.539><c> land</c><00:19:01.660><c> may</c><00:19:01.859><c> be</c>

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.500
another<00:19:02.180><c> matter.</c>

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:05.400
Perhaps<00:19:03.099><c> the</c><00:19:03.359><c> first</c><00:19:03.579><c> signs</c><00:19:03.819><c> of</c><00:19:03.980><c> it</c><00:19:04.079><c> were</c><00:19:04.240><c> just</c><00:19:04.559><c> showing.</c>

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.059
And<00:19:06.039><c> it</c><00:19:06.180><c> shall</c><00:19:06.279><c> come</c><00:19:06.480><c> to</c><00:19:06.700><c> pass,</c><00:19:06.900><c> he</c><00:19:07.019><c> says,</c><00:19:07.299><c> verse</c><00:19:07.440><c> 24,</c>

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.240
at<00:19:08.619><c> the</c><00:19:08.880><c> increase,</c><00:19:09.700><c> at</c><00:19:09.920><c> the</c><00:19:10.319><c> ingatherings,</c>

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:15.700
that<00:19:11.740><c> ye</c><00:19:12.000><c> shall</c><00:19:12.140><c> give</c><00:19:12.440><c> the</c><00:19:12.920><c> fifth</c><00:19:13.579><c> part</c><00:19:14.259><c> unto</c><00:19:14.799><c> Pharaoh.</c>

00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:19.059
They<00:19:16.740><c> had</c><00:19:16.859><c> paid</c><00:19:17.039><c> this</c><00:19:17.359><c> level</c><00:19:17.599><c> of</c><00:19:17.839><c> tax</c><00:19:18.019><c> before.</c>

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.359
And<00:19:19.519><c> now</c><00:19:19.660><c> when</c><00:19:19.779><c> the</c><00:19:19.980><c> land</c><00:19:20.059><c> was</c><00:19:20.200><c> going</c><00:19:20.359><c> to</c><00:19:20.480><c> be</c><00:19:20.680><c> prosperous</c><00:19:20.980><c> again,</c>

00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.380
ye<00:19:21.779><c> shall</c><00:19:21.920><c> give</c><00:19:22.079><c> the</c><00:19:22.299><c> fifth</c><00:19:22.519><c> part</c><00:19:22.759><c> unto</c><00:19:23.000><c> Pharaoh</c>

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:25.500
and<00:19:23.799><c> four</c><00:19:24.059><c> parts</c><00:19:24.339><c> ye</c><00:19:24.500><c> will</c><00:19:24.599><c> keep</c><00:19:24.839><c> for</c><00:19:25.039><c> yourselves.</c>

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:27.519
And<00:19:25.920><c> ye</c><00:19:26.140><c> have</c><00:19:26.259><c> your</c><00:19:26.519><c> lands</c><00:19:26.819><c> back,</c><00:19:27.380><c> too,</c>

00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:29.779
is<00:19:27.680><c> the</c><00:19:27.839><c> inference</c><00:19:28.039><c> that</c><00:19:28.319><c> lies</c><00:19:28.460><c> behind</c><00:19:28.859><c> this.</c>

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:35.200
So<00:19:30.880><c> what</c><00:19:31.140><c> Joseph</c><00:19:31.460><c> does</c><00:19:32.160><c> in</c><00:19:33.599><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:19:33.960><c> name,</c>

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.579
and<00:19:35.599><c> no</c><00:19:35.779><c> doubt</c><00:19:35.900><c> with</c><00:19:36.240><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:19:36.700><c> approval,</c>

00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.119
is<00:19:37.980><c> to</c><00:19:38.140><c> give</c><00:19:38.279><c> back</c><00:19:38.599><c> to</c><00:19:38.799><c> the</c><00:19:38.980><c> people</c>

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:42.299
that<00:19:40.400><c> which</c><00:19:40.599><c> they</c><00:19:40.779><c> had</c><00:19:40.960><c> already</c><00:19:41.299><c> sold.</c>

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.400
But<00:19:42.720><c> in</c><00:19:42.920><c> return</c><00:19:43.319><c> he</c><00:19:43.519><c> asks</c><00:19:44.000><c> of</c><00:19:44.200><c> the</c><00:19:44.380><c> people,</c>

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:47.259
and<00:19:45.779><c> now</c><00:19:45.960><c> give</c><00:19:46.099><c> us</c><00:19:46.279><c> a</c><00:19:46.420><c> fifth</c>

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:48.920
that<00:19:47.480><c> ye</c><00:19:47.619><c> will</c><00:19:47.720><c> get</c><00:19:47.900><c> of</c><00:19:48.059><c> all</c><00:19:48.240><c> that</c><00:19:48.440><c> territory</c>

00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:51.359
that<00:19:49.359><c> we</c><00:19:49.579><c> give</c><00:19:49.759><c> back</c><00:19:50.039><c> to</c><00:19:50.299><c> you.</c>

00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.420
How<00:19:52.640><c> the</c><00:19:53.200><c> people</c><00:19:53.480><c> responded</c><00:19:54.140><c> to</c><00:19:54.460><c> that.</c>

revised<00:34:34.760><c> version</c><00:34:35.039><c> Margin</c><00:34:35.460><c> says,</c>

00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:37.719
means<00:34:36.340><c> or</c><00:34:36.639><c> a</c><00:34:36.840><c> mountain</c><00:34:37.260><c> slope.</c>

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:42.099
Or<00:34:38.360><c> it</c><00:34:38.460><c> is</c><00:34:38.619><c> the</c><00:34:38.780><c> Hebrew</c><00:34:39.119><c> word</c><00:34:39.559><c> Shechem</c><00:34:40.099><c> or</c><00:34:41.159><c> shoulder.</c>

00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:43.719
Because<00:34:42.880><c> that's</c><00:34:43.079><c> what</c><00:34:43.239><c> Shechem</c><00:34:43.480><c> was.</c>

00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:46.920
It<00:34:43.840><c> was</c><00:34:44.019><c> on</c><00:34:44.219><c> a</c><00:34:44.460><c> shoulder</c><00:34:44.780><c> of</c><00:34:45.099><c> ground.</c><00:34:45.460><c> It</c><00:34:45.500><c> was</c><00:34:45.599><c> on</c><00:34:45.780><c> the</c><00:34:45.960><c> top.</c>

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.500
Hence<00:34:47.480><c> the</c><00:34:47.679><c> name</c><00:34:47.860><c> of</c><00:34:48.099><c> Shechem</c><00:34:48.360><c> or</c><00:34:48.619><c> shoulder.</c>

00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:52.800
Now,<00:34:50.099><c> Jacob</c><00:34:50.480><c> does</c><00:34:50.900><c> have</c><00:34:51.239><c> the</c><00:34:51.440><c> land</c><00:34:51.739><c> of</c><00:34:51.940><c> Shechem,</c>

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:56.739
a<00:34:53.320><c> land</c><00:34:53.480><c> that</c><00:34:53.679><c> he</c><00:34:53.820><c> had</c><00:34:54.059><c> bought,</c><00:34:54.880><c> the</c><00:34:55.179><c> parcel</c><00:34:55.460><c> of</c><00:34:55.760><c> ground.</c>

00:34:57.059 --> 00:35:00.719
It's<00:34:57.239><c> a</c><00:34:57.360><c> land</c><00:34:57.579><c> too,</c><00:34:58.019><c> in</c><00:34:58.159><c> which</c><00:34:58.340><c> now</c><00:34:58.619><c> he</c><00:34:58.840><c> is</c><00:34:59.119><c> giving</c><00:34:59.480><c> to</c><00:34:59.820><c> Joseph,</c>

00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.119
because<00:35:01.719><c> Joseph</c><00:35:02.280><c> will</c><00:35:02.639><c> be</c><00:35:02.940><c> buried</c><00:35:03.139><c> there.</c>

00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:06.860
So<00:35:04.639><c> Joseph</c><00:35:04.940><c> is</c><00:35:05.119><c> not</c><00:35:05.280><c> going</c><00:35:05.440><c> to</c><00:35:05.559><c> be</c><00:35:05.699><c> buried</c><00:35:05.800><c> in</c><00:35:05.940><c> the</c><00:35:06.139><c> family</c><00:35:06.420><c> grave,</c>

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:10.139
with<00:35:07.460><c> Abraham</c><00:35:07.940><c> and</c><00:35:08.320><c> Isaac</c><00:35:08.820><c> and</c><00:35:09.059><c> the</c><00:35:09.219><c> others.</c>

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.800
But<00:35:10.440><c> he</c><00:35:10.480><c> has</c><00:35:10.679><c> his</c><00:35:10.840><c> own</c><00:35:11.039><c> portion</c><00:35:11.420><c> that</c><00:35:12.699><c> Jacob,</c><00:35:13.260><c> his</c><00:35:13.519><c> father,</c><00:35:13.900><c> has</c><00:35:14.139><c> allotted</c><00:35:14.360><c> to</c><00:35:14.619><c> him.</c>

00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:18.059
And<00:35:16.059><c> so</c><00:35:16.139><c> we</c><00:35:16.239><c> come</c><00:35:16.380><c> to</c><00:35:16.519><c> chapter</c><00:35:16.699><c> 50.</c>

00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:21.039
Or<00:35:18.519><c> rather</c><00:35:18.800><c> to</c><00:35:18.980><c> the</c><00:35:19.119><c> end</c><00:35:19.219><c> of</c><00:35:19.360><c> the</c><00:35:19.460><c> 49th</c><00:35:19.980><c> chapter.</c>

00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:26.000
For<00:35:22.579><c> there</c><00:35:22.920><c> Jacob</c><00:35:23.280><c> repeats</c><00:35:23.800><c> that</c><00:35:24.099><c> charge</c><00:35:24.440><c> toward</c><00:35:24.699><c> his</c><00:35:25.000><c> sons,</c>

00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:30.719
that<00:35:27.380><c> he</c><00:35:27.559><c> must</c><00:35:27.800><c> be</c><00:35:28.099><c> buried</c><00:35:28.400><c> and</c><00:35:29.300><c> his</c><00:35:29.539><c> body</c><00:35:29.840><c> must</c><00:35:30.039><c> be</c><00:35:30.280><c> taken</c><00:35:30.480><c> out</c>

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:32.380

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:34.139
And<00:35:32.980><c> he</c><00:35:33.099><c> says</c><00:35:33.219><c> in</c><00:35:33.400><c> verse</c><00:35:33.599><c> 31,</c>

00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.179
there<00:35:34.659><c> they</c><00:35:35.039><c> buried</c><00:35:35.239><c> Abraham</c><00:35:35.760><c> and</c><00:35:36.059><c> Sarah</c><00:35:36.320><c> his</c><00:35:36.599><c> wife.</c>

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:39.820
There<00:35:37.820><c> they</c><00:35:38.179><c> buried</c><00:35:38.360><c> Isaac</c><00:35:38.760><c> and</c><00:35:38.980><c> Rebekah</c><00:35:39.340><c> his</c><00:35:39.579><c> wife.</c>

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:42.059
Well,<00:35:39.960><c> he</c><00:35:40.159><c> helped</c><00:35:40.420><c> to</c><00:35:40.639><c> bury</c><00:35:40.739><c> Isaac</c><00:35:41.099><c> too.</c>

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.900
There<00:35:42.460><c> is</c><00:35:42.579><c> no</c><00:35:42.739><c> mention</c><00:35:43.079><c> of</c><00:35:43.320><c> Rebekah's</c><00:35:43.880><c> death</c><00:35:44.099><c> in</c><00:35:44.400><c> scripture</c><00:35:44.800><c> earlier.</c>

00:35:50.380 --> 00:35:52.000
But<00:35:50.500><c> now</c><00:35:50.719><c> we</c><00:35:50.880><c> know</c><00:35:51.119><c> where</c><00:35:51.300><c> they</c><00:35:51.480><c> were</c><00:35:51.699><c> buried</c>

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:59.480

00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:05.679

In<00:36:08.579><c> fact</c><00:36:08.719><c> he</c><00:36:08.920><c> weeps</c><00:36:09.440><c> greatly.</c>

00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:15.400
And<00:36:10.960><c> he</c><00:36:11.139><c> commands</c><00:36:11.539><c> his</c><00:36:11.900><c> servants</c><00:36:12.199><c> in</c><00:36:12.440><c> verse</c><00:36:12.679><c> 2</c><00:36:13.039><c> to</c><00:36:13.460><c> embalm</c><00:36:14.219><c> his</c><00:36:14.539><c> father.</c>

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:18.900
We<00:36:16.039><c> are</c><00:36:16.039><c> not</c><00:36:16.280><c> told</c><00:36:16.460><c> what</c><00:36:16.840><c> Reuben's</c><00:36:17.420><c> reaction</c><00:36:17.739><c> was.</c>

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:28.480
There<00:36:24.500><c> can</c><00:36:24.739><c> always</c><00:36:24.960><c> be</c><00:36:25.179><c> some</c><00:36:25.820><c> self</c><00:36:26.179><c> recrimination</c><00:36:26.820><c> when</c><00:36:28.380><c> a</c>

00:36:30.300 --> 00:36:34.519
And<00:36:30.440><c> we</c><00:36:30.519><c> look</c><00:36:30.599><c> back</c><00:36:30.840><c> at</c><00:36:31.000><c> life</c><00:36:31.340><c> and</c><00:36:31.599><c> think</c><00:36:31.920><c> what</c><00:36:32.280><c> we</c><00:36:32.539><c> hadn't</c><00:36:32.900><c> done</c><00:36:33.719><c> when</c><00:36:34.340><c> we</c>

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:44.280
And<00:36:40.159><c> Joseph</c><00:36:40.400><c> now</c><00:36:40.659><c> uses</c><00:36:40.900><c> all</c><00:36:41.139><c> the</c><00:36:41.320><c> might</c><00:36:41.579><c> and</c><00:36:42.159><c> the</c><00:36:42.360><c> wonder</c><00:36:42.800><c> of</c><00:36:43.400><c> Egypt.</c>

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:53.719
It's<00:36:49.139><c> not</c><00:36:49.320><c> thought</c><00:36:49.920><c> that</c><00:36:50.659><c> if</c><00:36:50.820><c> Jacob</c><00:36:51.039><c> had</c><00:36:51.300><c> left</c><00:36:51.619><c> his</c><00:36:51.920><c> body</c><00:36:52.420><c> in</c><00:36:52.860><c> Egypt</c>
