00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:45.460
The<00:18:42.480><c> Lord</c><00:18:42.680><c> is</c><00:18:43.019><c> perfectly</c><00:18:43.599><c> capable</c><00:18:44.200><c> of</c><00:18:44.500><c> sorting</c><00:18:44.759><c> this</c><00:18:45.059><c> out</c><00:18:45.299><c> on</c>

00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.859
Remember<00:19:06.859><c> Abraham</c><00:19:07.200><c> was</c><00:19:07.460><c> one</c><00:19:07.660><c> who</c><00:19:08.440><c> brought</c><00:19:09.000><c> all</c><00:19:09.319><c> those</c><00:19:09.480><c> up</c><00:19:09.700><c> in</c>

He<00:19:13.400><c> taught</c><00:19:13.660><c> them</c><00:19:13.880><c> all</c><00:19:14.160><c> the</c><00:19:14.420><c> truth.</c>

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:16.339
And<00:19:15.099><c> here</c><00:19:15.220><c> is</c><00:19:15.380><c> the</c><00:19:15.599><c> faithful</c><00:19:15.920><c> servant.</c>

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:19.900
So<00:19:16.519><c> now</c><00:19:17.019><c> Abraham</c><00:19:17.339><c> is</c><00:19:17.559><c> sending</c><00:19:17.839><c> out</c><00:19:18.119><c> the</c><00:19:18.380><c> faithful</c><00:19:18.839><c> servant</c><00:19:19.380><c> to</c>

And<00:19:22.460><c> it</c><00:19:22.640><c> could</c><00:19:22.859><c> be</c><00:19:23.420><c> that</c><00:19:23.680><c> Abraham</c><00:19:23.960><c> already</c><00:19:24.500><c> knows</c><00:19:25.019><c> Rebecca.</c>

00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:28.720
We<00:19:26.200><c> can't</c><00:19:26.420><c> be</c><00:19:26.660><c> certain</c><00:19:26.839><c> on</c><00:19:27.039><c> this,</c><00:19:27.200><c> but</c><00:19:27.319><c> it</c><00:19:27.539><c> could</c><00:19:27.759><c> be,</c><00:19:28.339><c> if</c><00:19:28.599><c> you</c>
