00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.900

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:11.540
Now<00:06:07.439><c> of</c><00:06:07.680><c> course</c><00:06:08.079><c> this</c><00:06:08.379><c> is</c><00:06:08.600><c> in</c><00:06:08.740><c> complete</c><00:06:09.139><c> harmony</c><00:06:09.620><c> with</c><00:06:10.000><c> the</c><00:06:10.759><c> virgin</c><00:06:11.040><c> birth</c><00:06:11.339><c> of</c>

But<00:06:12.439><c> the</c><00:06:12.620><c> question</c><00:06:13.000><c> that</c><00:06:13.259><c> faces</c><00:06:13.519><c> us</c><00:06:13.819><c> is</c><00:06:14.060><c> this.</c><00:06:14.800><c> What</c><00:06:15.199><c> was</c><00:06:16.120><c> then</c>

00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:22.680
Because<00:06:20.540><c> strictly</c><00:06:20.860><c> speaking</c><00:06:21.319><c> it</c><00:06:21.500><c> cannot</c><00:06:21.839><c> prove</c><00:06:22.160><c> the</c><00:06:22.399><c> descent</c>

00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.899
Why<00:06:27.079><c> did</c><00:06:27.300><c> Matthew</c><00:06:27.639><c> begin</c><00:06:28.079><c> his</c><00:06:28.420><c> gospel</c><00:06:28.939><c> with</c><00:06:29.660><c> this</c><00:06:29.879><c> evidence?</c>

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.920
This<00:06:35.480><c> is</c><00:06:35.779><c> a</c><00:06:35.860><c> question</c><00:06:36.199><c> which</c><00:06:36.939><c> I</c><00:06:37.160><c> know</c><00:06:37.420><c> has</c><00:06:38.199><c> perplexed</c><00:06:38.699><c> many</c><00:06:38.899><c> Bible</c><00:06:39.259><c> students</c><00:06:39.680><c> at</c>

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.860
Well,<00:06:44.360><c> here</c><00:06:44.660><c> is</c><00:06:44.860><c> a</c><00:06:45.139><c> probable</c><00:06:45.579><c> answer.</c>

00:06:47.899 --> 00:06:52.819
Matthew,<00:06:48.519><c> measuring</c><00:06:49.040><c> the</c><00:06:49.319><c> attitude</c><00:06:49.720><c> of</c><00:06:49.939><c> the</c><00:06:50.100><c> Hebrews</c><00:06:50.420><c> towards</c><00:06:51.100><c> the</c><00:06:51.339><c> case</c><00:06:51.600><c> of</c><00:06:51.819><c> Jesus,</c>

00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:56.420
probably<00:06:53.800><c> judged</c><00:06:54.199><c> it</c><00:06:54.399><c> as</c><00:06:54.759><c> important</c><00:06:55.139><c> to</c><00:06:55.420><c> show</c><00:06:55.600><c> that</c><00:06:55.800><c> Joseph</c>

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:55.519
You'll<00:08:51.539><c> notice</c><00:08:52.080><c> the</c><00:08:52.360><c> words,</c><00:08:53.620><c> From</c><00:08:53.639><c> David</c><00:08:54.159><c> until</c><00:08:54.580><c> the</c><00:08:54.879><c> carrying</c><00:08:55.139><c> away</c>

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:02.820
Have<00:09:01.419><c> you</c><00:09:01.539><c> got</c><00:09:01.740><c> that?</c>

00:09:03.100 --> 00:09:07.539
Fourteen<00:09:03.720><c> generations,</c><00:09:04.679><c> Matthew</c><00:09:04.899><c> says,</c><00:09:05.960><c> from</c><00:09:06.279><c> David</c><00:09:06.919><c> until</c>

00:09:09.940 --> 00:09:17.419
Now,<00:09:12.080><c> on</c><00:09:12.440><c> grounds</c><00:09:12.840><c> of</c><00:09:13.320><c> strict</c><00:09:13.600><c> accuracy,</c><00:09:14.899><c> that</c><00:09:15.039><c> is</c><00:09:15.600><c> not</c><00:09:16.059><c> true.</c>

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.279
Matthew<00:09:25.220><c> left</c><00:09:25.639><c> out</c><00:09:25.940><c> four</c><00:09:26.379><c> names</c><00:09:26.840><c> in</c><00:09:27.120><c> that</c><00:09:27.440><c> section.</c>

00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.240
I'll<00:09:28.860><c> tell</c><00:09:29.019><c> you</c><00:09:29.139><c> where</c><00:09:29.220><c> they</c><00:09:29.440><c> are.</c><00:09:29.700><c> In</c><00:09:29.879><c> verse</c><00:09:30.139><c> 8,</c><00:09:30.539><c> between</c><00:09:30.940><c> Joram</c><00:09:31.440><c> and</c>

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.639
Uzziah<00:09:32.679><c> or</c><00:09:32.879><c> Uzziah,</c><00:09:33.720><c> there</c><00:09:33.980><c> should</c><00:09:34.279><c> be</c><00:09:34.639><c> Ahaziah,</c><00:09:36.039><c> Jerash</c><00:09:36.480><c> and</c><00:09:36.820><c> Amaziah.</c>

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:44.259
Again,<00:09:38.820><c> in</c><00:09:38.860><c> verse</c><00:09:39.100><c> 11,</c><00:09:39.679><c> between</c><00:09:39.759><c> Josiah</c><00:09:40.320><c> and</c><00:09:40.539><c> Jeconiah,</c><00:09:41.740><c> there</c><00:09:41.759><c> should</c><00:09:42.100><c> be</c><00:09:42.480><c> Jehoiakim.</c>

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:49.600
Now,<00:09:45.019><c> why</c><00:09:45.240><c> did</c><00:09:45.559><c> Matthew</c><00:09:46.139><c> ignore</c><00:09:46.820><c> those</c><00:09:47.299><c> ancestors</c><00:09:47.919><c> of</c><00:09:48.120><c> the</c><00:09:48.259><c> child</c><00:09:48.519><c> of</c><00:09:48.759><c> Mary?</c>

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:54.620
Well,<00:09:51.879><c> we</c><00:09:52.000><c> can't</c><00:09:52.240><c> be</c><00:09:52.539><c> sure,</c><00:09:52.840><c> but</c><00:09:53.120><c> probably</c><00:09:53.659><c> because</c><00:09:54.139><c> they</c><00:09:54.340><c> had</c>

00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:56.379
one<00:09:55.039><c> common</c><00:09:55.559><c> denominator.</c>

00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.519
They<00:09:56.799><c> were</c><00:09:57.120><c> all</c><00:09:57.659><c> men</c><00:09:57.980><c> of</c><00:09:58.440><c> consummate</c><00:09:59.100><c> evil.</c>

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:05.159
The<00:10:00.480><c> first</c><00:10:00.840><c> three,</c><00:10:01.620><c> Ahaziah,</c><00:10:02.700><c> Jerash</c><00:10:03.059><c> and</c><00:10:03.220><c> Amaziah,</c><00:10:04.179><c> were</c><00:10:04.399><c> progeny</c><00:10:04.919><c> of</c>

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.799
that<00:10:05.480><c> daredevil</c><00:10:06.159><c> pair</c><00:10:06.639><c> Ahab</c><00:10:07.419><c> and</c><00:10:07.620><c> Jezebel.</c>

00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:13.539
You'll<00:10:09.460><c> remember,</c><00:10:10.259><c> no</c><00:10:10.519><c> doubt,</c><00:10:11.379><c> at</c><00:10:11.539><c> last,</c><00:10:12.360><c> there</c><00:10:12.419><c> was</c><00:10:12.679><c> virtually</c><00:10:13.100><c> nothing</c>

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.100
And<00:10:15.580><c> it</c><00:10:15.659><c> looks</c><00:10:15.919><c> as</c><00:10:16.100><c> though</c><00:10:16.220><c> Matthew</c><00:10:16.600><c> has</c><00:10:16.879><c> regarded</c><00:10:17.220><c> her</c><00:10:17.500><c> children</c><00:10:17.840><c> in</c>

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.100
There<00:10:19.320><c> is</c><00:10:19.559><c> nothing</c><00:10:19.779><c> to</c><00:10:20.080><c> record.</c><00:10:21.320><c> He</c><00:10:21.539><c> has</c><00:10:21.820><c> ignored</c><00:10:22.139><c> them.</c>

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:26.299
And<00:10:24.019><c> then</c><00:10:24.240><c> when</c><00:10:24.399><c> we</c><00:10:24.600><c> come</c><00:10:24.720><c> to</c><00:10:24.840><c> verse</c><00:10:25.120><c> 11</c><00:10:25.440><c> and</c><00:10:25.600><c> the</c><00:10:25.740><c> omission</c><00:10:26.059><c> of</c>

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:31.039
Jehoiakim,<00:10:28.039><c> the</c><00:10:28.179><c> verdict</c><00:10:28.559><c> of</c><00:10:28.840><c> Jeremiah</c><00:10:29.480><c> speaks</c><00:10:30.620><c> volumes.</c>

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:35.080
I'm<00:10:31.360><c> going</c><00:10:31.399><c> to</c><00:10:31.500><c> quote</c><00:10:31.720><c> to</c><00:10:31.840><c> you</c><00:10:31.980><c> quickly</c><00:10:32.340><c> from</c><00:10:32.580><c> Jeremiah</c><00:10:33.179><c> 22,</c><00:10:34.100><c> 18.</c>

00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:57.860
Drawn<00:10:53.600><c> and</c><00:10:54.279><c> cast</c><00:10:55.200><c> forth</c><00:10:55.659><c> beyond</c><00:10:56.279><c> the</c><00:10:56.500><c> gate</c><00:10:56.679><c> of</c><00:10:56.919><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.019
Do<00:10:58.320><c> not</c><00:10:58.600><c> those</c><00:10:58.919><c> words</c><00:10:59.539><c> make</c><00:11:00.279><c> Jehoiakim</c><00:11:01.360><c> non</c><00:11:01.940><c>-existent,</c><00:11:02.659><c> as</c><00:11:02.820><c> it</c>

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:04.779
were,<00:11:03.179><c> in</c><00:11:03.320><c> the</c><00:11:03.480><c> eyes</c><00:11:03.600><c> of</c><00:11:03.899><c> God?</c>

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.220
And<00:11:05.399><c> it</c><00:11:05.580><c> appears</c><00:11:05.820><c> that</c><00:11:06.039><c> in</c><00:11:06.159><c> the</c><00:11:06.279><c> eyes</c><00:11:06.440><c> of</c><00:11:06.700><c> Matthew,</c><00:11:07.539><c> he</c><00:11:07.720><c> is</c><00:11:07.960><c> non</c>

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.379
So<00:11:10.639><c> let's</c><00:11:11.000><c> seek</c><00:11:11.159><c> to</c><00:11:11.460><c> understand</c><00:11:11.820><c> it</c><00:11:12.059><c> rightly.</c>

00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:09.759
they're<00:30:07.039><c> splendid</c><00:30:07.500><c> names,</c><00:30:07.920><c> but</c><00:30:08.079><c> they're</c><00:30:08.339><c> ordinary.</c>

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:16.859

00:30:16.980 --> 00:30:19.539
Joshua<00:30:17.500><c> was</c><00:30:17.759><c> an</c><00:30:17.940><c> ordinary</c><00:30:18.400><c> name</c><00:30:18.660><c> in</c><00:30:18.880><c> that</c><00:30:19.220><c> sense.</c>

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:24.619
It<00:30:19.839><c> was</c><00:30:20.119><c> common,</c><00:30:22.259><c> but</c><00:30:22.380><c> it</c><00:30:22.579><c> was</c><00:30:23.539><c> wonderful.</c>

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:28.759
Just<00:30:25.539><c> remember</c><00:30:25.839><c> how</c><00:30:26.019><c> it</c><00:30:26.140><c> came</c><00:30:26.380><c> into</c><00:30:26.640><c> existence</c><00:30:27.240><c> in</c><00:30:28.160><c> Israel.</c>

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:33.000
The<00:30:29.500><c> first</c><00:30:30.259><c> man</c><00:30:30.619><c> to</c><00:30:30.839><c> bear</c><00:30:30.980><c> it</c><00:30:31.160><c> was</c><00:30:31.380><c> Joshua</c><00:30:31.859><c> the</c><00:30:32.059><c> soldier.</c>

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:35.619
The<00:30:33.599><c> name</c><00:30:33.819><c> was</c><00:30:34.059><c> given</c><00:30:34.220><c> to</c><00:30:34.380><c> him</c><00:30:34.440><c> by</c><00:30:34.700><c> Moses,</c>

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:38.599
and<00:30:36.940><c> when</c><00:30:37.259><c> you</c><00:30:37.500><c> like,</c><00:30:37.640><c> you</c><00:30:37.759><c> can</c><00:30:37.920><c> look</c><00:30:38.079><c> up</c><00:30:38.220><c> the</c><00:30:38.400><c> record,</c>

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:42.599
What<00:30:40.680><c> Moses</c><00:30:41.079><c> did</c><00:30:41.359><c> was</c><00:30:41.619><c> this.</c>

which<00:30:45.819><c> is</c><00:30:46.019><c> a</c><00:30:46.119><c> good</c><00:30:46.259><c> name</c><00:30:46.519><c> because</c><00:30:46.779><c> it</c><00:30:46.940><c> means</c><00:30:47.200><c> salvation.</c>

00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.660
And<00:30:49.220><c> Moses</c><00:30:49.519><c> took</c><00:30:49.779><c> that</c><00:30:50.019><c> name,</c><00:30:50.400><c> Hoshiah,</c>

00:30:51.859 --> 00:30:56.000
and<00:30:51.980><c> he</c><00:30:52.440><c> interwove</c><00:30:52.839><c> it</c><00:30:52.980><c> with</c><00:30:53.160><c> the</c><00:30:53.319><c> name</c><00:30:53.500><c> of</c><00:30:53.779><c> God,</c><00:30:54.740><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.839
Yahweh<00:30:57.160><c> Hoshiah,</c><00:30:57.880><c> Yehoshiah,</c><00:30:59.200><c> Yahshua.</c>

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:02.180
Yahshua,<00:31:01.539><c> that's</c><00:31:01.779><c> what</c><00:31:01.880><c> he</c><00:31:02.059><c> did.</c>

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.000
Or<00:31:02.880><c> if</c><00:31:03.000><c> you</c><00:31:03.180><c> prefer</c><00:31:03.480><c> it</c><00:31:03.680><c> in</c><00:31:03.799><c> the</c><00:31:03.940><c> other</c><00:31:04.140><c> form</c><00:31:04.380><c> of</c><00:31:04.539><c> God's</c><00:31:04.960><c> name,</c>

Jehoshiah,<00:31:11.519><c> Joshua,</c><00:31:13.720><c> Jehovah</c><00:31:14.319><c> Hoshiah,</c><00:31:15.859><c> Jehovah</c><00:31:16.220><c> Hoshiah,</c><00:31:17.059><c> Jehoshua.</c>

00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:22.119
It<00:31:20.000><c> means</c><00:31:20.359><c> Yah</c><00:31:20.759><c> will</c><00:31:21.079><c> save.</c>

00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:25.019
Hoshiah<00:31:23.319><c> is</c><00:31:23.500><c> a</c><00:31:23.619><c> good</c><00:31:23.759><c> name.</c>

00:31:26.380 --> 00:31:28.240
Jehoshiah<00:31:27.180><c> is</c><00:31:27.400><c> better.</c>

00:31:28.299 --> 00:31:29.920
Yah<00:31:28.660><c> will</c><00:31:29.000><c> save.</c>

00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:33.259
Now<00:31:30.680><c> subsequently,</c><00:31:31.359><c> many</c><00:31:31.579><c> Hebrews</c><00:31:32.220><c> bore</c><00:31:32.799><c> this</c><00:31:33.099><c> name,</c>

00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:37.180
but<00:31:33.480><c> two</c><00:31:33.660><c> of</c><00:31:33.759><c> course</c><00:31:34.019><c> bore</c><00:31:34.259><c> it</c><00:31:34.420><c> with</c><00:31:36.019><c> a</c><00:31:36.400><c> special</c><00:31:36.660><c> distinction,</c>

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:38.319
as<00:31:37.380><c> you</c><00:31:37.660><c> know,</c>

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.099
Joshua<00:31:38.960><c> the</c><00:31:39.200><c> soldier</c><00:31:39.660><c> and</c><00:31:40.019><c> Joshua</c><00:31:40.380><c> the</c><00:31:40.599><c> high</c><00:31:40.839><c> priest.</c>

00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:43.859
So<00:31:41.799><c> it</c><00:31:41.880><c> came</c><00:31:42.079><c> to</c><00:31:42.240><c> be</c><00:31:42.339><c> the</c><00:31:42.539><c> great</c><00:31:42.799><c> hero</c><00:31:43.259><c> name</c>

00:31:43.859 --> 00:31:48.660
and<00:31:44.960><c> was</c><00:31:45.220><c> very</c><00:31:45.559><c> popular</c><00:31:46.259><c> in</c><00:31:47.220><c> the</c><00:31:47.400><c> Hebrew</c><00:31:47.619><c> nation.</c>

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:56.259
So<00:31:50.200><c> when</c><00:31:50.839><c> the</c><00:31:51.220><c> child</c><00:31:51.680><c> was</c><00:31:52.059><c> born,</c><00:31:53.839><c> he</c><00:31:54.099><c> was</c><00:31:54.420><c> named</c><00:31:54.700><c> from</c><00:31:54.980><c> heaven.</c>

00:31:57.380 --> 00:32:01.480
And<00:31:57.980><c> when</c><00:31:58.200><c> the</c><00:31:58.500><c> child</c><00:31:58.779><c> was</c><00:31:59.140><c> born,</c><00:32:00.220><c> his</c><00:32:00.299><c> name</c><00:32:00.640><c> was</c><00:32:00.940><c> registered</c>

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:03.019
by<00:32:01.900><c> angels,</c>

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:04.920
because<00:32:03.559><c> remember</c><00:32:03.940><c> the</c><00:32:04.180><c> angels'</c><00:32:04.559><c> words,</c>

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:11.759
they<00:32:05.440><c> shall</c><00:32:05.700><c> call</c><00:32:06.000><c> his</c><00:32:06.359><c> name</c><00:32:07.259><c> Jesus</c><00:32:08.720><c> Jehoshua,</c>

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.180
for<00:32:12.500><c> he</c><00:32:12.779><c> shall</c><00:32:12.980><c> save</c><00:32:13.279><c> his</c><00:32:13.559><c> people</c><00:32:13.799><c> from</c><00:32:14.079><c> their</c><00:32:14.299><c> sins.</c>

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:19.839
Now<00:32:16.519><c> here</c><00:32:16.680><c> is</c><00:32:16.880><c> something</c><00:32:17.160><c> to</c><00:32:17.440><c> ponder.</c>

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.279
I<00:32:20.359><c> wonder</c><00:32:20.539><c> if</c><00:32:20.660><c> you</c><00:32:20.819><c> would</c><00:32:21.019><c> agree</c><00:32:21.259><c> that</c><00:32:22.599><c> sometimes</c><00:32:23.240><c> when</c><00:32:23.839><c> something</c><00:32:24.099><c> is</c>

00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:24.799
being<00:32:24.579><c> said,</c>

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:28.240
the<00:32:25.240><c> emphasis</c><00:32:25.779><c> that</c><00:32:25.960><c> is</c><00:32:26.259><c> placed</c><00:32:26.619><c> upon</c><00:32:27.099><c> this</c><00:32:27.660><c> word</c><00:32:27.819><c> or</c><00:32:28.019><c> that</c>

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.339
makes<00:32:28.539><c> all</c><00:32:28.779><c> the</c><00:32:28.960><c> difference.</c>

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:32.880
The<00:32:29.940><c> particular</c><00:32:30.400><c> emphasis</c><00:32:31.259><c> is</c><00:32:32.500><c> important</c>

00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.240
because<00:32:33.119><c> it</c><00:32:33.279><c> gives</c><00:32:33.779><c> a</c><00:32:34.220><c> meaning</c><00:32:34.619><c> to</c><00:32:35.279><c> a</c><00:32:35.500><c> sentence,</c><00:32:35.819><c> doesn't</c><00:32:36.039><c> it?</c>

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:37.200
I<00:32:36.339><c> think</c><00:32:36.460><c> you</c><00:32:36.619><c> would</c><00:32:36.759><c> agree</c><00:32:36.900><c> with</c><00:32:37.039><c> that.</c>

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:39.640
See<00:32:37.579><c> there</c><00:32:37.660><c> are</c><00:32:37.799><c> two</c><00:32:37.980><c> ways</c><00:32:38.240><c> of</c><00:32:38.420><c> saying</c><00:32:38.640><c> I</c><00:32:38.920><c> love</c><00:32:39.160><c> you</c><00:32:39.380><c> and</c><00:32:39.480><c> one</c>

00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.160
is<00:32:39.779><c> better</c><00:32:40.000><c> than</c><00:32:40.160><c> the</c><00:32:40.319><c> other.</c>

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:46.700
Now<00:32:43.500><c> if</c><00:32:43.940><c> only</c><00:32:44.339><c> we</c><00:32:44.599><c> knew</c><00:32:44.759><c> how</c><00:32:44.980><c> the</c><00:32:45.200><c> angel</c><00:32:45.619><c> uttered</c><00:32:46.140><c> that</c><00:32:46.339><c> sentence,</c>

00:32:46.859 --> 00:32:48.960
they<00:32:46.880><c> shall</c><00:32:47.099><c> call</c><00:32:47.380><c> his</c><00:32:47.599><c> name</c><00:32:47.839><c> Jesus,</c>

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:50.960
for<00:32:49.140><c> he</c><00:32:49.319><c> shall</c><00:32:49.480><c> save</c><00:32:49.759><c> his</c><00:32:49.980><c> people</c><00:32:50.259><c> from</c><00:32:50.539><c> their</c><00:32:50.740><c> sins.</c>

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:53.740
If<00:32:51.180><c> only</c><00:32:51.579><c> we</c><00:32:51.799><c> knew</c><00:32:52.440><c> how</c><00:32:52.859><c> he</c><00:32:53.059><c> said</c><00:32:53.240><c> it.</c>

00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:57.900

00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:42.980

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:50.360
I<00:36:46.219><c> wish</c><00:36:46.440><c> there</c><00:36:46.639><c> were</c><00:36:46.739><c> more</c><00:36:47.059><c> time</c><00:36:47.219><c> to</c><00:36:47.380><c> look</c><00:36:47.579><c> at</c><00:36:47.820><c> these</c><00:36:49.059><c> passages</c><00:36:49.460><c> penetratingly,</c>

00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:56.300
So<00:36:51.960><c> we</c><00:36:52.300><c> should</c><00:36:52.420><c> have</c><00:36:52.619><c> to</c><00:36:52.760><c> be</c><00:36:52.960><c> content</c><00:36:53.260><c> with</c><00:36:53.519><c> a</c><00:36:53.739><c> slender</c><00:36:55.059><c> examination</c><00:36:55.860><c> of</c><00:36:56.179><c> them.</c>
