00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:11.919
Now,<00:11:05.879><c> I</c><00:11:06.039><c> have</c><00:11:06.259><c> a</c><00:11:06.360><c> suspicion</c><00:11:06.779><c> that</c><00:11:07.059><c> the</c><00:11:07.259><c> sisters</c><00:11:07.799><c> here</c><00:11:08.539><c> this</c><00:11:08.799><c> morning</c><00:11:09.080><c> will</c><00:11:09.399><c> understand</c><00:11:10.100><c> very</c><00:11:10.720><c> much</c><00:11:11.019><c> more</c><00:11:11.600><c> of</c>

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.980

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:19.299
And<00:11:14.220><c> I</c><00:11:14.379><c> say</c><00:11:14.559><c> that</c><00:11:15.240><c> with</c><00:11:15.679><c> respect,</c><00:11:16.259><c> brethren,</c><00:11:16.879><c> but</c><00:11:17.679><c> we,</c><00:11:18.860><c> brethren,</c><00:11:19.179><c> have</c>

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:26.860
So<00:11:24.419><c> there</c><00:11:24.559><c> are</c><00:11:24.840><c> pressures</c><00:11:25.179><c> within</c><00:11:25.519><c> this</c><00:11:25.840><c> home.</c>

00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:32.100
And<00:11:28.179><c> so</c><00:11:28.419><c> when</c><00:11:28.620><c> we</c><00:11:29.480><c> turn</c><00:11:29.919><c> to</c><00:11:30.059><c> chapter</c><00:11:30.360><c> 37,</c><00:11:31.100><c> which</c><00:11:31.299><c> begins</c><00:11:31.720><c> the</c>

00:11:56.820 --> 00:12:04.360
So<00:11:57.080><c> he's</c><00:11:57.379><c> now</c><00:11:58.659><c> a</c><00:11:59.440><c> teen,</c><00:12:01.360><c> a</c><00:12:01.559><c> young</c><00:12:02.019><c> man</c><00:12:02.600><c> about</c><00:12:03.080><c> to</c><00:12:03.360><c> burst</c><00:12:03.559><c> into</c>

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:17.879
They<00:12:12.779><c> have</c><00:12:13.100><c> gone,</c><00:12:14.039><c> they</c><00:12:14.720><c> have</c><00:12:14.919><c> disappeared</c><00:12:15.539><c> in</c><00:12:16.139><c> the</c><00:12:16.340><c> sense</c><00:12:16.580><c> that</c><00:12:16.779><c> they're</c><00:12:17.139><c> out</c><00:12:17.419><c> of</c><00:12:17.639><c> sight.</c>

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.120
They've<00:12:18.279><c> gone</c><00:12:18.639><c> to</c><00:12:19.019><c> look</c><00:12:19.259><c> after</c><00:12:19.600><c> the</c><00:12:19.899><c> flock.</c>

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:29.840

In<00:13:22.480><c> fact,</c><00:13:22.779><c> I</c><00:13:23.000><c> have</c><00:13:23.399><c> an</c><00:13:24.700><c> idea</c><00:13:25.179><c> that</c><00:13:25.899><c> Joseph</c><00:13:26.360><c> really</c><00:13:27.139><c> was</c><00:13:28.019><c> totally</c><00:13:28.620><c> spoiled</c><00:13:29.460><c> by</c><00:13:30.460><c> his</c><00:13:30.740><c> father.</c>

00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:39.019
He<00:13:33.259><c> had</c><00:13:33.620><c> every</c><00:13:34.240><c> possible</c><00:13:35.500><c> thing</c><00:13:36.559><c> given</c><00:13:37.220><c> to</c><00:13:37.960><c> him,</c><00:13:38.419><c> provided</c>

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:40.480
for<00:13:39.419><c> him.</c>

00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:45.519
And<00:13:41.279><c> it's</c><00:13:41.860><c> epitomised</c><00:13:42.580><c> in</c><00:13:42.820><c> this</c><00:13:44.059><c> coat</c><00:13:44.480><c> of</c><00:13:44.779><c> many</c><00:13:45.059><c> colours.</c>

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.659
Now,<00:13:46.679><c> I'm</c><00:13:46.840><c> sure</c><00:13:47.059><c> you</c><00:13:47.240><c> all</c><00:13:47.440><c> know,</c><00:13:47.799><c> brethren</c><00:13:47.919><c> and</c><00:13:48.139><c> sisters,</c><00:13:48.940><c> that</c><00:13:49.100><c> lots</c><00:13:49.399><c> of</c>

00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:56.700
The<00:13:53.100><c> coat</c><00:13:53.460><c> with</c><00:13:53.779><c> long</c><00:13:54.240><c> sleeves,</c><00:13:55.100><c> some</c><00:13:55.320><c> people</c><00:13:55.659><c> say.</c>

00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:03.519
But<00:13:57.720><c> there</c><00:13:58.279><c> are</c><00:13:58.639><c> some</c><00:13:59.559><c> Egyptian</c><00:14:00.419><c> wall</c><00:14:01.179><c> paintings</c><00:14:01.940><c> of</c><00:14:02.919><c> people</c>

from<00:14:04.419><c> what</c><00:14:04.759><c> I</c><00:14:04.980><c> will</c><00:14:05.179><c> describe</c><00:14:05.820><c> as</c><00:14:06.220><c> the</c><00:14:06.399><c> land</c><00:14:06.679><c> of</c><00:14:07.019><c> Canaan</c>

during<00:14:08.100><c> the</c><00:14:08.340><c> period</c><00:14:08.679><c> of</c><00:14:08.919><c> the</c><00:14:09.039><c> Hyksos</c><00:14:09.500><c> Kings,</c><00:14:09.940><c> which</c><00:14:10.120><c> is</c><00:14:10.379><c> the</c>

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.580
period<00:14:10.779><c> we're</c><00:14:11.059><c> thinking</c><00:14:11.399><c> of</c><00:14:11.659><c> here.</c>

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:19.460
And<00:14:14.080><c> the</c><00:14:14.799><c> coats</c><00:14:15.279><c> which</c><00:14:15.740><c> they</c><00:14:16.100><c> wore,</c><00:14:16.799><c> we</c><00:14:17.019><c> would</c><00:14:17.299><c> call</c><00:14:17.539><c> them</c><00:14:18.500><c> patchwork.</c>

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:24.539
That<00:14:20.139><c> is,</c><00:14:20.799><c> made</c><00:14:21.159><c> of</c><00:14:21.480><c> many</c><00:14:22.000><c> different</c><00:14:23.240><c> pieces</c><00:14:23.860><c> of</c><00:14:24.220><c> brightly</c>

00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:30.059
So<00:14:26.139><c> perhaps</c><00:14:26.519><c> the</c><00:14:26.779><c> name,</c><00:14:27.620><c> the</c><00:14:27.740><c> coat</c><00:14:27.980><c> of</c><00:14:28.279><c> many</c><00:14:28.600><c> colours,</c><00:14:29.600><c> is</c><00:14:29.820><c> not</c>

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:40.700
But<00:14:35.399><c> you</c><00:14:35.679><c> see,</c><00:14:36.299><c> we've</c><00:14:36.559><c> already</c><00:14:36.860><c> had</c><00:14:38.000><c> an</c><00:14:39.159><c> intimation</c><00:14:39.679><c> of</c><00:14:39.899><c> this,</c>

00:14:49.659 --> 00:14:52.220
many<00:14:50.000><c> times</c><00:14:50.460><c> because</c><00:14:50.759><c> it's</c><00:14:50.980><c> not</c><00:14:51.240><c> the</c><00:14:51.399><c> sort</c><00:14:51.559><c> of</c><00:14:51.679><c> book</c><00:14:51.799><c> you</c><00:14:52.000><c> read</c>

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:57.240
That<00:14:53.759><c> is</c><00:14:54.019><c> Blunt's</c><00:14:54.519><c> undesigned</c><00:14:55.779><c> scriptural</c><00:14:56.379><c> coincidences.</c>

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:17.240
And<00:15:13.639><c> we</c><00:15:13.919><c> can</c><00:15:14.259><c> perhaps,</c><00:15:14.779><c> I'm</c><00:15:15.019><c> sure</c><00:15:15.240><c> we</c><00:15:15.399><c> can</c><00:15:15.639><c> understand</c><00:15:16.080><c> why.</c>

00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:29.019

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:53.519
You<00:15:45.279><c> can</c><00:15:45.600><c> imagine</c><00:15:46.600><c> the</c><00:15:49.259><c> resentment</c><00:15:50.000><c> and</c><00:15:51.500><c> the</c><00:15:51.740><c> jealousy</c><00:15:52.340><c> of</c>

You<00:16:07.820><c> know,</c><00:16:08.399><c> I</c><00:16:08.700><c> think</c><00:16:09.059><c> that</c><00:16:09.259><c> they</c><00:16:09.500><c> would</c><00:16:09.980><c> really</c><00:16:10.440><c> deride</c><00:16:10.980><c> him</c>

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:14.279

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:27.380
So<00:26:21.599><c> the</c><00:26:21.779><c> years</c><00:26:22.019><c> at</c><00:26:22.299><c> home</c><00:26:22.880><c> for</c><00:26:23.240><c> Joseph</c><00:26:23.740><c> are</c><00:26:24.920><c> really</c><00:26:26.220><c> distressing</c>

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:36.599
He's<00:26:30.519><c> a</c><00:26:30.660><c> little</c><00:26:30.880><c> brother,</c><00:26:32.440><c> he's</c><00:26:32.859><c> boastful,</c><00:26:34.039><c> he's</c><00:26:34.400><c> not</c><00:26:34.660><c> very</c><00:26:35.000><c> discreet.</c>

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.400
Perhaps<00:26:37.740><c> at</c><00:26:38.319><c> best</c><00:26:38.579><c> he's</c><00:26:38.940><c> just</c><00:26:39.279><c> young</c><00:26:39.599><c> and</c><00:26:39.980><c> innocent,</c>

00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:52.720
until<00:26:51.420><c> this</c><00:26:51.759><c> time.</c>

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:55.279

00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:58.099
he<00:26:55.460><c> had</c><00:26:55.839><c> absolutely</c><00:26:56.460><c> everything</c><00:26:57.059><c> that</c><00:26:57.279><c> he</c><00:26:57.420><c> could</c><00:26:57.579><c> wish</c><00:26:57.799><c> for.</c>

00:26:58.299 --> 00:27:00.839
It<00:26:58.460><c> was</c><00:26:58.680><c> all</c><00:26:59.000><c> handed</c><00:26:59.299><c> to</c><00:26:59.539><c> him</c><00:26:59.700><c> on</c><00:26:59.880><c> a</c><00:27:00.019><c> plate.</c>

00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:05.119

Because,<00:31:19.380><c> you</c><00:31:19.380><c> see,</c><00:31:19.539><c> they</c><00:31:19.680><c> were</c><00:31:19.859><c> on</c><00:31:21.339><c> the</c><00:31:21.539><c> route</c><00:31:21.859><c> down</c><00:31:23.160><c> towards</c><00:31:23.660><c> Egypt,</c>

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:25.779
one<00:31:24.259><c> of</c><00:31:24.400><c> the</c><00:31:24.660><c> trade</c><00:31:24.880><c> routes.</c>

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:29.140
They<00:31:26.460><c> would</c><00:31:26.640><c> be</c><00:31:26.819><c> on</c><00:31:26.960><c> that</c><00:31:27.539><c> particular</c><00:31:28.059><c> line.</c>

00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:35.599
So,<00:31:32.599><c> then</c><00:31:32.900><c> they</c><00:31:33.539><c> decide</c><00:31:33.920><c> to</c><00:31:34.180><c> make</c><00:31:34.500><c> the</c><00:31:34.779><c> decision</c><00:31:35.119><c> which</c><00:31:35.380><c> they</c>

00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:36.160
do<00:31:35.880><c> make.</c>

00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:39.339
Now,<00:31:36.920><c> you</c><00:31:36.980><c> know</c><00:31:37.259><c> Ruben</c><00:31:37.640><c> had</c><00:31:37.779><c> gone</c><00:31:37.980><c> away,</c><00:31:38.380><c> don't</c><00:31:38.519><c> you?</c>

00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.380
Ruben<00:31:41.079><c> had</c><00:31:41.259><c> left</c><00:31:41.519><c> them.</c>

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.339
His<00:31:43.319><c> plan,</c><00:31:43.599><c> of</c><00:31:43.819><c> course,</c><00:31:44.039><c> was</c><00:31:44.200><c> to</c><00:31:44.299><c> go</c><00:31:44.559><c> back</c><00:31:44.759><c> and</c><00:31:44.940><c> to</c><00:31:45.099><c> release</c>

00:31:45.339 --> 00:31:45.759
his<00:31:45.579><c> brother,</c>

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.799
but<00:31:45.920><c> I've</c><00:31:46.200><c> often</c><00:31:46.400><c> asked</c><00:31:46.599><c> myself,</c><00:31:47.299><c> why</c><00:31:47.519><c> did</c><00:31:47.740><c> he</c><00:31:47.960><c> go?</c>

00:31:49.460 --> 00:31:51.539
What<00:31:49.940><c> pretext</c><00:31:50.420><c> would</c><00:31:50.599><c> he</c><00:31:50.779><c> give</c><00:31:50.920><c> to</c><00:31:51.099><c> his</c><00:31:51.259><c> brothers?</c>

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:54.779
I<00:31:52.000><c> mean,</c><00:31:52.079><c> he</c><00:31:52.259><c> was</c><00:31:52.500><c> the</c><00:31:52.720><c> eldest,</c><00:31:53.339><c> he</c><00:31:53.519><c> was</c><00:31:53.700><c> the</c><00:31:53.839><c> responsible</c><00:31:54.400><c> one.</c>

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:56.980
Why<00:31:55.420><c> was</c><00:31:55.579><c> he</c><00:31:55.759><c> going</c><00:31:55.859><c> to</c><00:31:56.119><c> say...</c>

00:31:56.980 --> 00:32:01.619
He'd<00:31:57.299><c> have</c><00:31:57.480><c> to</c><00:31:57.640><c> say</c><00:31:57.880><c> to</c><00:31:59.059><c> Judah,</c><00:31:59.920><c> or</c><00:32:00.059><c> Levi,</c><00:32:00.660><c> or</c><00:32:01.160><c> one</c><00:32:01.380><c> of</c><00:32:01.500><c> the</c>

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:01.960
other<00:32:01.799><c> brothers,</c>

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.740
I'm<00:32:02.359><c> just</c><00:32:02.640><c> off</c><00:32:02.819><c> to...</c>

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:06.660
Now,<00:32:04.000><c> I</c><00:32:04.119><c> have</c><00:32:04.339><c> a</c><00:32:04.559><c> suspicion</c><00:32:04.920><c> that</c><00:32:05.599><c> he</c><00:32:05.960><c> would</c><00:32:06.160><c> see</c><00:32:06.339><c> this</c>

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:08.180
caravan<00:32:07.059><c> coming,</c>

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:12.299
and<00:32:10.420><c> he'd</c><00:32:10.680><c> think,</c><00:32:10.880><c> yes,</c><00:32:11.140><c> the</c><00:32:11.359><c> sheep.</c>

00:32:12.539 --> 00:32:17.579
If<00:32:13.099><c> I</c><00:32:13.339><c> leave</c><00:32:13.579><c> them,</c><00:32:14.920><c> this</c><00:32:15.119><c> caravan</c><00:32:15.539><c> will</c><00:32:16.220><c> pinch</c><00:32:16.519><c> a</c><00:32:16.720><c> few,</c>

00:32:17.819 --> 00:32:20.519
so<00:32:18.220><c> I</c><00:32:18.359><c> better</c><00:32:18.519><c> go</c><00:32:18.740><c> and</c><00:32:18.880><c> do</c><00:32:18.980><c> my</c><00:32:19.220><c> job</c><00:32:19.400><c> as</c><00:32:19.579><c> a</c><00:32:19.720><c> shepherd,</c>

00:32:20.819 --> 00:32:23.220
while<00:32:21.059><c> the</c><00:32:21.259><c> other</c><00:32:21.440><c> brothers</c><00:32:21.619><c> were</c><00:32:21.859><c> sharing</c><00:32:22.140><c> their</c><00:32:22.440><c> meal.</c>

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.319
I<00:32:24.359><c> might</c><00:32:24.599><c> be</c><00:32:24.839><c> painting</c><00:32:25.119><c> him</c><00:32:25.500><c> better</c><00:32:25.779><c> than</c><00:32:25.920><c> he</c><00:32:26.160><c> is,</c>

00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:29.700
but<00:32:27.019><c> I</c><00:32:27.420><c> think</c><00:32:27.599><c> that</c><00:32:27.799><c> that's</c><00:32:28.039><c> probably</c><00:32:28.460><c> why</c><00:32:29.079><c> he</c><00:32:29.299><c> left,</c>

00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:33.039
to<00:32:30.500><c> do</c><00:32:30.720><c> his</c><00:32:31.000><c> work</c><00:32:31.440><c> as</c><00:32:32.039><c> a</c><00:32:32.240><c> shepherd.</c>

00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:37.420
And<00:32:34.000><c> therefore,</c><00:32:34.240><c> then,</c><00:32:34.599><c> it</c><00:32:34.599><c> is</c><00:32:34.819><c> Judah</c><00:32:35.200><c> who</c><00:32:36.059><c> comes</c><00:32:36.440><c> along,</c>

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:41.240
the<00:32:38.119><c> fourth</c><00:32:38.539><c> son</c><00:32:39.140><c> of</c><00:32:39.480><c> Leah,</c><00:32:39.880><c> who</c><00:32:40.099><c> makes</c><00:32:40.400><c> this</c><00:32:40.720><c> suggestion.</c>

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:45.599
As<00:32:42.019><c> to</c><00:32:42.200><c> what</c><00:32:42.359><c> they</c><00:32:42.599><c> should</c><00:32:42.759><c> do</c><00:32:43.539><c> with</c><00:32:44.359><c> Joseph.</c>

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:53.680
Now,<00:32:47.980><c> there</c><00:32:48.279><c> is</c><00:32:48.480><c> a</c><00:32:48.559><c> bit</c><00:32:48.660><c> of</c><00:32:49.019><c> a</c><00:32:49.440><c> problem</c><00:32:49.759><c> about</c><00:32:50.299><c> the</c><00:32:51.640><c> mixture</c><00:32:52.059><c> between</c>

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.039
Ishmaelites,<00:32:56.220><c> Midianites,</c><00:32:58.119><c> Medanites,</c>

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.440
but<00:33:01.440><c> they're</c><00:33:02.279><c> all</c><00:33:02.839><c> of</c><00:33:03.099><c> the</c><00:33:03.420><c> same</c><00:33:03.759><c> sort</c><00:33:04.119><c> of</c><00:33:04.579><c> group.</c>

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.200
They're<00:33:06.220><c> all</c><00:33:07.180><c> descended</c><00:33:07.799><c> from</c><00:33:08.220><c> Abraham,</c><00:33:09.059><c> still,</c>

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.279
but<00:33:09.400><c> through</c><00:33:09.779><c> Keturah,</c><00:33:10.940><c> all</c><00:33:11.299><c> of</c><00:33:11.480><c> them.</c>

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.759
So<00:33:12.859><c> they</c><00:33:13.099><c> would</c><00:33:13.440><c> consist</c><00:33:13.960><c> of</c><00:33:14.440><c> different</c><00:33:15.140><c> parts</c><00:33:15.799><c> of</c><00:33:16.099><c> this</c>

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:18.579
family<00:33:17.420><c> group,</c>

00:33:19.460 --> 00:33:21.900
and<00:33:20.140><c> they</c><00:33:20.359><c> were</c><00:33:20.500><c> merchantmen.</c>

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.519
And<00:33:22.180><c> in</c><00:33:22.359><c> verse</c><00:33:22.519><c> 28,</c><00:33:23.039><c> we're</c><00:33:23.299><c> told,</c>

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:26.039
they<00:33:23.819><c> lifted</c><00:33:24.339><c> up</c><00:33:24.740><c> Joseph</c><00:33:25.160><c> out</c><00:33:25.480><c> of</c><00:33:25.640><c> the</c><00:33:25.880><c> pit,</c>

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:31.859
and<00:33:26.480><c> sold</c><00:33:26.900><c> Joseph</c><00:33:27.460><c> to</c><00:33:27.759><c> the</c><00:33:27.940><c> Ishmaelites</c><00:33:29.000><c> for</c><00:33:29.619><c> 20</c><00:33:30.200><c> pieces</c><00:33:30.660><c> of</c><00:33:31.000><c> silver.</c>

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.559
I<00:33:32.839><c> understand</c><00:33:33.359><c> that</c><00:33:33.519><c> that</c><00:33:33.799><c> was</c><00:33:34.059><c> the</c><00:33:34.799><c> standard</c><00:33:35.160><c> price</c><00:33:35.619><c> for</c><00:33:35.920><c> a</c><00:33:36.220><c> slave</c>

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.680
in<00:33:37.359><c> those</c><00:33:37.900><c> days.</c>

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:40.180
Think<00:33:39.420><c> about</c><00:33:39.720><c> that.</c>

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:46.299
In<00:33:40.880><c> those</c><00:33:41.220><c> days,</c><00:33:41.539><c> it</c><00:33:41.640><c> was</c><00:33:41.839><c> the</c><00:33:42.140><c> standard</c><00:33:42.380><c> price</c><00:33:43.019><c> for</c><00:33:44.519><c> a</c><00:33:45.420><c> slave.</c>

00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.240
Now,<00:33:47.819><c> there</c><00:33:48.000><c> is</c><00:33:48.180><c> a</c><00:33:48.319><c> sense,</c><00:33:48.660><c> brethren</c><00:33:48.819><c> and</c><00:33:49.079><c> sisters,</c>

00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:51.880
in<00:33:49.460><c> which</c><00:33:49.680><c> all</c><00:33:49.900><c> that</c><00:33:50.079><c> I've</c><00:33:50.359><c> said</c><00:33:50.700><c> is</c>

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.259
what<00:33:52.680><c> I</c><00:33:52.960><c> call</c><00:33:53.160><c> Sunday</c><00:33:53.519><c> School</c><00:33:53.759><c> material,</c>

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:59.140
with<00:33:54.500><c> perhaps</c><00:33:54.779><c> a</c><00:33:54.980><c> few</c><00:33:55.420><c> other</c><00:33:55.920><c> suggestions</c><00:33:56.599><c> going</c><00:33:57.259><c> along</c><00:33:57.640><c> with</c><00:33:57.900><c> them.</c>

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:03.440
But<00:34:00.480><c> one</c><00:34:01.079><c> of</c><00:34:01.160><c> the</c><00:34:01.319><c> wonderful</c><00:34:01.640><c> things</c><00:34:01.980><c> about</c><00:34:02.299><c> Joseph,</c>

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.400
and<00:34:05.519><c> now</c><00:34:05.819><c> I</c><00:34:06.160><c> have</c><00:34:06.359><c> to</c><00:34:06.940><c> take</c><00:34:07.160><c> myself</c><00:34:07.619><c> out</c><00:34:07.880><c> of</c><00:34:08.039><c> the</c><00:34:08.260><c> chronological</c><00:34:08.840><c> sequence</c>

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:12.559
and<00:34:10.019><c> look</c><00:34:10.380><c> at</c><00:34:10.639><c> Joseph</c><00:34:11.019><c> as</c><00:34:11.519><c> a</c><00:34:11.739><c> whole.</c>

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:18.320
Joseph<00:34:14.780><c> has</c><00:34:15.059><c> something</c><00:34:15.440><c> in</c><00:34:15.780><c> common</c><00:34:16.099><c> with</c><00:34:16.519><c> Daniel</c><00:34:16.900><c> the</c><00:34:17.139><c> prophet.</c>

00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.860
They're<00:34:21.039><c> both</c><00:34:21.260><c> young</c><00:34:21.500><c> men.</c>

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.079

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:28.579
probably<00:34:26.460><c> at</c><00:34:26.639><c> about</c><00:34:26.880><c> the</c><00:34:27.079><c> same</c><00:34:27.280><c> age.</c>

00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.219
But<00:34:29.500><c> they're</c><00:34:29.719><c> both</c><00:34:30.079><c> two</c><00:34:30.320><c> men</c><00:34:30.500><c> in</c><00:34:30.760><c> Scripture</c>

about<00:34:32.019><c> whom</c><00:34:32.699><c> nothing</c><00:34:33.659><c> expressly</c><00:34:34.820><c> evil</c><00:34:35.239><c> is</c><00:34:36.019><c> spoken.</c>

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:41.000
I<00:34:38.099><c> know</c><00:34:38.320><c> I've</c><00:34:38.800><c> tried</c><00:34:39.039><c> to</c><00:34:39.500><c> fill</c><00:34:39.639><c> out</c><00:34:39.900><c> the</c><00:34:40.159><c> scriptural</c><00:34:40.639><c> story</c>

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:45.039

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:48.659

00:34:51.579 --> 00:34:53.760

00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.099
Nothing<00:34:55.679><c> is</c><00:34:56.039><c> spoken</c><00:34:56.360><c> about</c><00:34:56.780><c> Joseph,</c><00:34:57.500><c> or</c><00:34:57.780><c> indeed</c><00:34:58.039><c> of</c><00:34:58.280><c> Daniel,</c>

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:14.260
and<00:35:10.320><c> think</c><00:35:10.599><c> of</c><00:35:10.800><c> the</c><00:35:11.000><c> studies</c><00:35:11.320><c> in</c><00:35:12.260><c> the</c><00:35:12.400><c> rest</c><00:35:12.559><c> of</c><00:35:12.760><c> the</c><00:35:12.860><c> week,</c><00:35:13.099><c> God</c><00:35:13.260><c> willing,</c>

00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:19.360
there<00:35:17.599><c> is</c><00:35:17.860><c> something</c><00:35:18.179><c> about</c><00:35:18.579><c> him</c>

00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.159
And<00:35:26.440><c> that</c><00:35:26.900><c> is</c><00:35:27.099><c> something</c><00:35:27.400><c> that</c><00:35:27.760><c> I</c><00:35:28.340><c> want</c><00:35:28.599><c> to,</c>

00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.579
I'm<00:35:29.599><c> not</c><00:35:29.760><c> going</c><00:35:29.860><c> to</c><00:35:30.019><c> say</c><00:35:30.239><c> draw</c><00:35:30.539><c> your</c><00:35:30.840><c> attention</c><00:35:31.280><c> to,</c>

00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.300
but<00:35:32.480><c> remind</c><00:35:33.019><c> you</c><00:35:33.340><c> of</c><00:35:33.760><c> again,</c>

00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:39.019

00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.699

00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.000
You<00:36:03.420><c> know,</c><00:36:03.519><c> there</c><00:36:03.739><c> are</c><00:36:03.980><c> a</c><00:36:04.219><c> few</c><00:36:04.760><c> linking</c><00:36:05.380><c> ideas</c>

00:37:12.179 --> 00:37:14.699
There<00:37:12.460><c> is</c><00:37:12.719><c> the</c><00:37:13.119><c> principle</c><00:37:13.559><c> on</c><00:37:13.820><c> which</c><00:37:14.000><c> we</c><00:37:14.320><c> build</c>

00:37:14.699 --> 00:37:18.079
the<00:37:15.139><c> type</c><00:37:15.619><c> structure</c><00:37:16.340><c> between</c><00:37:17.019><c> Joseph</c>

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:26.599
At<00:37:25.420><c> the</c><00:37:25.519><c> end</c><00:37:25.639><c> of</c><00:37:25.800><c> the</c><00:37:25.860><c> week,</c><00:37:26.219><c> I</c><00:37:26.219><c> hope,</c>

00:37:27.019 --> 00:37:31.420
and<00:37:27.019><c> he's</c><00:37:28.980><c> not</c><00:37:29.280><c> here,</c><00:37:29.559><c> so</c><00:37:29.800><c> I</c><00:37:29.940><c> won't</c><00:37:30.139><c> be</c><00:37:30.460><c> embarrassing</c><00:37:30.900><c> him</c>

00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:32.860
rather<00:37:31.960><c> than</c><00:37:32.519><c> him,</c>

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:35.000
when<00:37:33.199><c> he</c><00:37:33.400><c> gave</c><00:37:33.599><c> his</c><00:37:33.860><c> exaltation</c><00:37:34.420><c> yesterday</c>

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.019

00:37:41.659 --> 00:37:44.440
And<00:37:41.659><c> that</c><00:37:41.800><c> will</c><00:37:42.059><c> tie</c><00:37:42.280><c> the</c><00:37:42.480><c> week</c><00:37:42.699><c> up</c><00:37:43.199><c> very</c><00:37:43.519><c> nicely.</c>

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:47.679
But<00:37:45.539><c> let's</c><00:37:45.940><c> have</c><00:37:46.139><c> a</c><00:37:46.239><c> look</c><00:37:46.380><c> then,</c><00:37:47.119><c> brethren</c><00:37:47.119><c> and</c><00:37:47.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:50.199
at<00:37:48.380><c> some</c><00:37:48.860><c> of</c><00:37:49.300><c> these</c><00:37:49.679><c> parallels</c>

00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:53.639

00:37:54.860 --> 00:37:59.059
First<00:37:55.079><c> of</c><00:37:55.320><c> all,</c><00:37:56.139><c> Genesis</c><00:37:56.599><c> chapter</c><00:37:57.699><c> 30.</c>

00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.300
We've<00:38:07.460><c> mentioned</c><00:38:07.820><c> this</c><00:38:08.139><c> verse</c><00:38:08.300><c> already,</c><00:38:08.659><c> verse</c><00:38:08.940><c> 22.</c>

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:11.880
And<00:38:09.440><c> God</c><00:38:09.860><c> remembered</c><00:38:10.760><c> Rachel,</c>

00:38:12.059 --> 00:38:16.179
and<00:38:12.139><c> God</c><00:38:12.699><c> hearkened</c><00:38:13.360><c> to</c><00:38:13.619><c> her</c><00:38:14.159><c> and</c><00:38:14.559><c> opened</c><00:38:15.019><c> her</c><00:38:15.340><c> womb.</c>

00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:20.000
She<00:38:16.880><c> had</c><00:38:17.139><c> had</c><00:38:17.360><c> no</c><00:38:17.659><c> children</c><00:38:18.179><c> until</c><00:38:18.719><c> this</c><00:38:19.059><c> time.</c>

00:38:20.980 --> 00:38:23.380
There<00:38:21.179><c> was</c><00:38:21.500><c> therefore</c><00:38:21.900><c> something</c><00:38:22.619><c> special</c>

00:38:23.380 --> 00:38:26.480
about<00:38:24.340><c> the</c><00:38:24.579><c> birth</c><00:38:25.139><c> of</c><00:38:25.559><c> Joseph.</c>

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:30.860
A<00:38:27.440><c> very</c><00:38:27.980><c> pale</c><00:38:28.400><c> image</c><00:38:28.920><c> of</c><00:38:29.400><c> the</c><00:38:29.860><c> uniqueness</c>

00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:36.460
of<00:38:31.860><c> the</c><00:38:32.119><c> nature</c><00:38:32.599><c> of</c><00:38:33.039><c> the</c><00:38:33.260><c> birth</c><00:38:33.820><c> of</c><00:38:34.519><c> the</c><00:38:34.659><c> Lord</c><00:38:34.880><c> Jesus</c><00:38:35.320><c> Christ.</c>

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:41.059
His<00:38:38.960><c> name</c><00:38:39.400><c> had</c><00:38:39.659><c> a</c><00:38:39.880><c> significance,</c>

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:43.300
this<00:38:42.659><c> concept,</c>

00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:47.159
the<00:38:43.559><c> Lord</c><00:38:43.980><c> shall</c><00:38:44.260><c> add</c><00:38:44.599><c> to</c><00:38:44.820><c> me</c><00:38:45.380><c> another</c><00:38:46.000><c> son.</c>

00:38:47.900 --> 00:38:49.619
And<00:38:48.079><c> we</c><00:38:48.239><c> think</c><00:38:48.440><c> of</c><00:38:48.639><c> Mary,</c>

00:38:50.099 --> 00:38:52.599
and<00:38:50.239><c> we</c><00:38:50.400><c> think</c><00:38:50.619><c> of</c><00:38:50.800><c> the</c><00:38:50.900><c> Lord</c><00:38:51.119><c> Jesus</c><00:38:51.500><c> Christ,</c>

00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:55.699
and<00:38:53.780><c> then</c><00:38:53.980><c> we</c><00:38:54.219><c> think</c><00:38:54.420><c> of</c><00:38:54.699><c> the</c><00:38:54.980><c> multitude</c>

00:38:55.699 --> 00:38:58.300
of<00:38:56.019><c> brethren</c><00:38:56.340><c> and</c><00:38:56.719><c> sisters</c><00:38:57.139><c> who</c><00:38:57.380><c> would</c><00:38:57.539><c> be</c><00:38:57.800><c> added</c>

00:38:58.300 --> 00:39:00.340
because<00:38:59.260><c> of</c><00:38:59.760><c> the</c><00:39:00.019><c> work,</c>

00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.360
the<00:39:00.900><c> sacrifice</c><00:39:01.599><c> of</c><00:39:02.019><c> the</c><00:39:02.219><c> Lord</c><00:39:02.380><c> Jesus</c><00:39:02.800><c> Christ.</c>

00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:08.460
So<00:39:04.159><c> there</c><00:39:04.400><c> is</c><00:39:04.679><c> a</c><00:39:04.900><c> link</c><00:39:05.119><c> here</c><00:39:05.699><c> with</c><00:39:06.199><c> the</c><00:39:06.380><c> name</c><00:39:06.920><c> of</c><00:39:07.500><c> Joseph.</c>

00:39:09.739 --> 00:39:13.739
And<00:39:09.840><c> then</c><00:39:10.139><c> in</c><00:39:10.440><c> the</c><00:39:10.619><c> chapter</c><00:39:10.940><c> which</c><00:39:11.239><c> we</c><00:39:12.380><c> have</c><00:39:12.780><c> been</c><00:39:13.019><c> looking</c><00:39:13.280><c> at</c>

00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:19.239
in<00:39:17.699><c> the</c><00:39:17.900><c> very</c><00:39:18.219><c> second</c><00:39:18.780><c> verse,</c>

00:39:19.699 --> 00:39:21.619
Joseph<00:39:20.019><c> being</c><00:39:20.360><c> 17</c><00:39:20.880><c> years</c><00:39:21.300><c> old,</c>

00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:24.860

00:39:25.219 --> 00:39:28.079
And<00:39:25.400><c> the</c><00:39:25.579><c> lad</c><00:39:25.719><c> was</c><00:39:25.920><c> with</c><00:39:26.139><c> the</c><00:39:26.340><c> sons</c><00:39:26.539><c> of</c><00:39:26.800><c> Bilhar</c><00:39:27.300><c> and</c><00:39:27.519><c> Zilpah,</c>

00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.059
their<00:39:28.380><c> father's</c><00:39:28.840><c> wives,</c><00:39:29.159><c> and</c><00:39:29.380><c> Joseph</c><00:39:29.679><c> brought</c><00:39:30.000><c> her.</c>

00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:31.539
And<00:39:30.239><c> he</c><00:39:30.320><c> went</c><00:39:30.519><c> home</c><00:39:30.840><c> telling</c><00:39:31.179><c> tales.</c>

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:34.579
Yes,<00:39:31.760><c> we</c><00:39:31.960><c> know</c><00:39:32.159><c> that,</c><00:39:32.519><c> but</c><00:39:32.820><c> he</c><00:39:33.260><c> was</c><00:39:33.559><c> a</c><00:39:33.780><c> shepherd.</c>

00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:37.599
And<00:39:35.179><c> that</c><00:39:35.679><c> is</c><00:39:36.179><c> not</c><00:39:36.400><c> without</c><00:39:36.719><c> its</c><00:39:36.980><c> significance</c>

00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:41.000
when<00:39:38.199><c> we</c><00:39:38.480><c> think</c><00:39:38.860><c> of</c><00:39:39.400><c> the</c><00:39:39.599><c> Lord</c><00:39:39.820><c> Jesus.</c>

00:39:42.460 --> 00:39:46.639
He<00:39:43.059><c> was</c><00:39:43.300><c> willing</c><00:39:43.760><c> to</c><00:39:44.559><c> be</c><00:39:45.360><c> a</c><00:39:45.800><c> shepherd.</c>

00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:48.960
He<00:39:47.760><c> was</c><00:39:47.980><c> an</c><00:39:48.219><c> obedient</c><00:39:48.699><c> son.</c>

00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:50.260
We've<00:39:49.239><c> already</c><00:39:49.480><c> made</c><00:39:49.719><c> that</c><00:39:50.000><c> point,</c>

00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:53.199
that<00:39:50.980><c> he</c><00:39:51.280><c> was</c><00:39:51.519><c> unwilling</c><00:39:51.840><c> to</c><00:39:52.159><c> undertake</c><00:39:52.539><c> this</c><00:39:52.860><c> journey.</c>

00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:55.099
He<00:39:53.860><c> didn't</c><00:39:54.079><c> argue</c><00:39:54.420><c> with</c><00:39:54.599><c> his</c><00:39:54.840><c> father</c>

00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:56.579
when<00:39:55.260><c> his</c><00:39:55.480><c> father</c><00:39:55.699><c> asked</c><00:39:55.940><c> him</c><00:39:56.119><c> a</c><00:39:56.280><c> question,</c>

00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:58.619
here<00:39:57.059><c> am</c><00:39:57.300><c> I,</c><00:39:58.039><c> I'm</c><00:39:58.320><c> willing.</c>

00:39:58.619 --> 00:40:02.780
And<00:39:59.480><c> he</c><00:39:59.679><c> was</c><00:39:59.960><c> indeed</c><00:40:01.420><c> obedient.</c>

00:40:05.340 --> 00:40:07.739
I<00:40:05.400><c> hope</c><00:40:05.619><c> you</c><00:40:05.760><c> won't</c><00:40:05.980><c> object</c><00:40:06.400><c> to</c><00:40:06.559><c> my</c><00:40:06.780><c> drawing</c><00:40:07.039><c> this</c><00:40:07.360><c> parallel</c>
