00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.500
Abraham<00:16:16.519><c> is</c><00:16:17.259><c> also</c><00:16:17.600><c> to</c><00:16:17.820><c> leave</c><00:16:17.980><c> Ur</c><00:16:18.299><c> of</c><00:16:18.379><c> the</c><00:16:18.539><c> Chaldees</c><00:16:19.019><c> and</c><00:16:19.279><c> his</c>

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:22.840
destination<00:16:20.259><c> is</c><00:16:21.120><c> the</c><00:16:21.259><c> land</c><00:16:21.440><c> of</c><00:16:21.720><c> Canaan.</c>

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:28.299
Although<00:16:23.500><c> at</c><00:16:23.840><c> that</c><00:16:24.200><c> point,</c><00:16:26.080><c> then</c><00:16:26.159><c> Abraham</c><00:16:26.480><c> was</c><00:16:26.799><c> unaware</c><00:16:27.419><c> of</c>

Tira's<00:16:37.299><c> decision</c><00:16:37.620><c> is</c><00:16:37.860><c> probably</c><00:16:38.179><c> politic.</c>

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.820

those<00:17:00.919><c> tribes</c>

00:17:01.460 --> 00:17:05.519

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.240

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:24.799
That<00:18:21.380><c> will</c><00:18:21.619><c> become</c><00:18:21.839><c> more</c><00:18:22.200><c> challenging</c><00:18:22.660><c> as</c><00:18:22.940><c> time</c><00:18:23.160><c> goes</c><00:18:23.480><c> along.</c>

But<00:18:25.819><c> there</c><00:18:26.480><c> God</c><00:18:26.819><c> providentially</c><00:18:28.140><c> perhaps</c><00:18:28.799><c> opening</c><00:18:29.279><c> the</c><00:18:29.519><c> door</c>

what<00:18:32.500><c> does</c><00:18:32.680><c> this</c><00:18:32.839><c> vision</c><00:18:33.059><c> mean?</c><00:18:33.539><c> Where</c><00:18:33.740><c> am</c><00:18:33.940><c> I</c><00:18:34.019><c> going</c><00:18:34.200><c> to</c><00:18:34.460><c> go?</c>

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.319
I've<00:18:38.940><c> decided</c><00:18:39.440><c> I'm</c><00:18:40.000><c> going</c><00:18:40.180><c> to</c><00:18:40.180><c> leave</c><00:18:40.480><c> her</c><00:18:40.700><c> and</c><00:18:40.839><c> let's</c><00:18:41.099><c> make</c>

our<00:18:41.460><c> way</c><00:18:41.660><c> towards</c><00:18:42.019><c> Canaan.</c>

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:46.980
