That's<00:10:08.779><c> why</c><00:10:09.000><c> Jacob,</c><00:10:09.299><c> when</c><00:10:09.440><c> he</c><00:10:09.539><c> went</c><00:10:09.679><c> to</c><00:10:09.980><c> Shechem,</c><00:10:10.159><c> dug</c><00:10:10.379><c> his</c><00:10:10.600><c> own</c><00:10:10.899><c> well</c><00:10:11.220><c> some</c><00:10:11.879><c> three</c><00:10:12.159><c> or</c>

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.200
four<00:10:12.440><c> miles</c><00:10:12.779><c> away</c><00:10:13.139><c> from</c><00:10:13.360><c> the</c><00:10:13.440><c> city</c><00:10:13.679><c> of</c><00:10:13.940><c> Shechem.</c>

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.840
Between<00:10:15.159><c> him</c><00:10:15.399><c> and</c><00:10:15.600><c> Shechem</c><00:10:15.799><c> there</c><00:10:15.919><c> were</c><00:10:16.159><c> other</c><00:10:16.460><c> wells</c><00:10:16.860><c> and</c><00:10:17.419><c> four</c><00:10:17.679><c> or</c>

00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.500
five<00:10:18.120><c> streams</c><00:10:18.539><c> that</c><00:10:18.700><c> he</c><00:10:18.759><c> could</c><00:10:18.919><c> have</c><00:10:19.100><c> used,</c>

00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.820
but<00:10:19.860><c> they</c><00:10:20.019><c> were</c><00:10:20.360><c> frequented</c><00:10:20.740><c> by</c><00:10:21.039><c> the</c><00:10:21.240><c> Shechemites.</c>

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.519
So<00:10:22.440><c> he</c><00:10:22.539><c> dug</c><00:10:22.740><c> his</c><00:10:22.980><c> own</c><00:10:23.299><c> well</c><00:10:23.399><c> on</c><00:10:23.620><c> his</c><00:10:23.779><c> own</c><00:10:24.059><c> pot</c><00:10:24.159><c> of</c><00:10:24.399><c> ground.</c>

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:31.200
It<00:10:29.379><c> enabled</c><00:10:29.639><c> them</c><00:10:29.840><c> to</c><00:10:30.000><c> remain</c><00:10:30.259><c> separate.</c>

00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.460
By<00:10:32.559><c> contrast,</c><00:10:34.120><c> lot</c><00:10:34.159><c> went</c><00:10:34.480><c> down</c><00:10:34.759><c> to</c><00:10:35.019><c> Sodom</c><00:10:35.220><c> where</c><00:10:35.419><c> it</c><00:10:35.600><c> was</c><00:10:35.860><c> well</c>

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:38.279

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:40.899
just<00:10:39.159><c> like</c><00:10:39.399><c> the</c><00:10:39.600><c> land</c><00:10:39.759><c> of</c><00:10:39.980><c> Egypt,</c>

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.259
where<00:10:41.779><c> life</c><00:10:42.019><c> was</c><00:10:42.320><c> easy,</c><00:10:42.600><c> where</c><00:10:43.139><c> you</c><00:10:43.500><c> didn't</c><00:10:43.700><c> have</c><00:10:43.919><c> to</c><00:10:44.179><c> struggle,</c>

00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.840
but<00:10:46.580><c> the</c><00:10:46.820><c> price</c><00:10:47.039><c> was</c><00:10:47.419><c> that</c><00:10:47.580><c> you</c><00:10:47.779><c> joined</c><00:10:48.019><c> up</c><00:10:48.279><c> with</c><00:10:48.539><c> Sodom</c>

00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.440

00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:57.759
So<00:10:55.600><c> they</c><00:10:55.740><c> were</c><00:10:55.919><c> contending</c><00:10:56.240><c> over</c><00:10:56.480><c> the</c><00:10:56.679><c> well</c><00:10:56.759><c> and</c><00:10:56.940><c> we</c><00:10:57.179><c> find</c><00:10:57.519><c> in</c>

00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:09.860
Now<00:11:07.860><c> here's</c><00:11:08.200><c> Abraham</c><00:11:08.440><c> trying</c><00:11:08.700><c> to</c><00:11:08.779><c> live</c><00:11:08.899><c> in</c><00:11:09.019><c> the</c><00:11:09.080><c> land</c><00:11:09.220><c> of</c><00:11:09.399><c> the</c><00:11:09.580><c> Canaanites.</c>

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:11.860
He<00:11:10.039><c> has</c><00:11:10.360><c> dug</c><00:11:10.620><c> a</c><00:11:10.899><c> well</c><00:11:10.980><c> for</c><00:11:11.279><c> himself.</c>

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.399
He<00:11:12.259><c> is</c><00:11:12.500><c> not</c><00:11:12.659><c> going</c><00:11:12.799><c> to</c><00:11:12.919><c> be</c><00:11:13.039><c> dependent</c><00:11:13.320><c> upon</c><00:11:13.580><c> the</c><00:11:13.799><c> Canaanites</c>

00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:19.539

00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.299
And<00:11:19.700><c> he</c><00:11:19.799><c> has</c><00:11:20.000><c> this</c><00:11:20.179><c> argument</c><00:11:20.399><c> with</c><00:11:20.600><c> Abimelech</c><00:11:21.000><c> over</c><00:11:21.279><c> this</c><00:11:21.580><c> well.</c>

And<00:11:22.419><c> Abimelech</c><00:11:22.899><c> decides,</c><00:11:23.399><c> yes,</c><00:11:23.559><c> I'll</c><00:11:23.740><c> give</c><00:11:23.879><c> it</c><00:11:24.080><c> back.</c>

00:11:24.299 --> 00:11:26.539
And<00:11:24.340><c> they</c><00:11:24.500><c> made</c><00:11:24.659><c> a</c><00:11:24.879><c> covenant</c><00:11:25.059><c> concerning</c><00:11:25.440><c> this</c><00:11:25.759><c> well.</c>

You<00:11:51.399><c> see</c><00:11:51.559><c> Abraham</c><00:11:52.000><c> was</c><00:11:52.399><c> quite</c><00:11:52.779><c> content</c><00:11:53.139><c> to</c><00:11:53.360><c> make</c><00:11:53.500><c> a</c><00:11:53.759><c> truce</c><00:11:54.080><c> with</c><00:11:54.259><c> the</c><00:11:54.399><c> Philistines.</c>

00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.500

00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.240
It's<00:12:09.539><c> not</c><00:12:09.840><c> part</c><00:12:10.179><c> of</c><00:12:10.340><c> the</c><00:12:10.500><c> Philistines,</c><00:12:11.299><c> this</c><00:12:11.519><c> well.</c>

00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.559
This<00:12:17.980><c> was</c><00:12:18.139><c> an</c><00:12:18.320><c> area</c><00:12:18.500><c> that</c><00:12:18.700><c> nobody</c><00:12:18.960><c> had</c><00:12:19.179><c> wanted</c><00:12:19.399><c> before.</c>

There<00:22:04.619><c> was</c><00:22:04.779><c> plenty</c><00:22:05.000><c> of</c><00:22:05.259><c> assurance.</c>

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.279

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.619
That's<00:22:32.359><c> why</c><00:22:32.519><c> God</c><00:22:32.720><c> had</c><00:22:32.940><c> appeared</c><00:22:33.160><c> to</c><00:22:33.299><c> him</c><00:22:33.900><c> and</c><00:22:34.400><c> said,</c>

then,<00:28:59.900><c> immediately</c><00:29:00.180><c> after</c><00:29:00.460><c> being</c><00:29:00.720><c> sent</c><00:29:00.940><c> away,</c>

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:03.180
then<00:29:01.680><c> Isaac</c><00:29:02.099><c> sowed</c><00:29:02.519><c> in</c><00:29:02.680><c> that</c><00:29:02.940><c> land.</c>

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.339
He<00:29:06.180><c> sowed</c><00:29:06.400><c> in</c><00:29:06.460><c> that</c><00:29:06.680><c> land</c><00:29:06.819><c> and</c><00:29:07.039><c> received</c><00:29:07.339><c> in</c><00:29:07.460><c> the</c><00:29:07.819><c> same</c><00:29:08.180><c> year</c><00:29:08.539><c> a</c><00:29:08.740><c> hundredfold.</c>

00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:10.980
And<00:29:09.599><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:10.319><c> blessed</c><00:29:10.640><c> him.</c>

00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:13.140
You<00:29:11.440><c> know,</c><00:29:11.559><c> it</c><00:29:11.680><c> had</c><00:29:11.680><c> been</c><00:29:11.779><c> a</c><00:29:12.019><c> time</c><00:29:12.200><c> of</c><00:29:12.460><c> famine.</c>

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:14.400
This<00:29:13.480><c> is</c><00:29:13.619><c> remarkable,</c><00:29:14.299><c> brethren.</c>

00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.500
As<00:29:14.619><c> you</c><00:29:14.799><c> think</c><00:29:14.980><c> of</c><00:29:15.119><c> the</c><00:29:15.279><c> change</c><00:29:15.500><c> of</c><00:29:15.660><c> Isaac,</c>

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.980
when<00:29:17.319><c> the</c><00:29:17.480><c> famine</c><00:29:17.640><c> comes,</c><00:29:18.079><c> he's</c><00:29:18.299><c> tempted</c><00:29:18.420><c> to</c><00:29:18.579><c> go</c><00:29:18.680><c> to</c><00:29:18.839><c> Egypt.</c>

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:20.160
God<00:29:19.200><c> says,</c><00:29:19.539><c> don't</c><00:29:19.559><c> go</c><00:29:19.759><c> to</c><00:29:19.900><c> Egypt.</c>

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.960
He<00:29:20.680><c> goes</c><00:29:20.880><c> into</c><00:29:21.119><c> Gera.</c><00:29:21.480><c> He</c><00:29:21.519><c> gets</c><00:29:21.700><c> into</c><00:29:21.920><c> awful</c><00:29:22.240><c> strife</c><00:29:22.559><c> in</c><00:29:22.720><c> Gera.</c>

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:24.759
And<00:29:23.119><c> it's</c><00:29:23.299><c> still</c><00:29:23.519><c> a</c><00:29:23.680><c> time</c><00:29:23.799><c> of</c><00:29:24.039><c> famine.</c>

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:26.640
So<00:29:25.079><c> he</c><00:29:25.140><c> says,</c><00:29:25.460><c> now</c><00:29:25.480><c> we've</c><00:29:25.680><c> got</c><00:29:25.740><c> to</c><00:29:25.819><c> go</c><00:29:25.940><c> out</c><00:29:26.059><c> in</c><00:29:26.160><c> the</c><00:29:26.339><c> countryside.</c>

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:28.720
And<00:29:26.839><c> he</c><00:29:26.940><c> goes</c><00:29:27.160><c> out</c><00:29:27.339><c> in</c><00:29:27.480><c> the</c><00:29:27.720><c> countryside.</c>

00:29:28.819 --> 00:29:32.180
And<00:29:29.000><c> he</c><00:29:29.259><c> starts</c><00:29:29.779><c> sowing</c><00:29:30.259><c> in</c><00:29:30.579><c> a</c><00:29:30.819><c> time</c><00:29:31.099><c> of</c><00:29:31.380><c> famine.</c>

00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.420
You<00:29:34.980><c> imagine</c><00:29:35.420><c> how</c><00:29:35.619><c> the</c><00:29:35.880><c> Philistines</c><00:29:36.380><c> laughed.</c>

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:39.200

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:40.480
He's<00:29:39.400><c> out</c><00:29:39.640><c> there</c><00:29:39.779><c> in</c><00:29:39.920><c> the</c><00:29:40.119><c> desert.</c>

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.259
And<00:29:40.940><c> he's</c><00:29:41.339><c> sowing</c><00:29:41.720><c> in</c><00:29:41.880><c> a</c><00:29:42.019><c> time</c><00:29:42.160><c> of</c><00:29:42.440><c> famine.</c>

You<00:29:45.359><c> know,</c><00:29:45.440><c> I</c><00:29:45.559><c> believe</c><00:29:45.660><c> this</c><00:29:45.839><c> is</c><00:29:46.019><c> the</c><00:29:46.160><c> basis</c><00:29:46.359><c> of</c><00:29:46.599><c> Psalm</c><00:29:46.740><c> 126,</c>

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.460
You<00:29:48.579><c> know</c><00:29:48.759><c> the</c><00:29:48.900><c> words</c><00:29:49.099><c> well.</c>

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:57.960
They<00:29:55.039><c> shall</c><00:29:55.140><c> bring</c><00:29:55.299><c> again</c><00:29:55.599><c> their</c><00:29:55.920><c> sheaves</c><00:29:56.440><c> with</c><00:29:56.740><c> rejoicing.</c>

00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:03.559
And<00:29:58.799><c> that's</c><00:29:59.000><c> in</c><00:29:59.200><c> the</c><00:29:59.339><c> context</c><00:30:00.240><c> of</c><00:30:00.740><c> Psalm</c><00:30:00.859><c> 127</c><00:30:01.740><c> and</c><00:30:02.059><c> Psalm</c><00:30:02.400><c> 128,</c>

And<00:30:11.980><c> the</c><00:30:12.180><c> Philistines</c><00:30:12.539><c> can't</c><00:30:12.940><c> understand</c>

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.140
why<00:30:13.539><c> we</c><00:30:13.720><c> put</c><00:30:13.799><c> so</c><00:30:13.980><c> much</c><00:30:14.180><c> emphasis</c><00:30:14.500><c> upon</c><00:30:15.119><c> teaching</c><00:30:15.619><c> our</c><00:30:15.940><c> children,</c>

00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:19.819
Why<00:30:17.640><c> we</c><00:30:17.859><c> bother</c><00:30:18.019><c> to</c><00:30:18.240><c> run</c><00:30:18.380><c> Sunday</c><00:30:18.740><c> schools.</c>

00:30:20.660 --> 00:30:22.200
Why<00:30:20.819><c> we</c><00:30:21.019><c> feel</c><00:30:21.079><c> it's</c><00:30:21.299><c> important</c><00:30:21.619><c> for</c><00:30:21.779><c> our</c><00:30:21.960><c> children</c>

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:30.160
But<00:30:28.119><c> God</c><00:30:28.359><c> blessed</c><00:30:28.759><c> enormously</c><00:30:29.359><c> that</c><00:30:29.799><c> sowing.</c>

00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:36.859
And<00:30:34.920><c> Yahweh</c><00:30:35.220><c> blessed</c><00:30:35.500><c> him.</c>

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:41.099
And<00:30:40.240><c> we</c><00:30:40.359><c> read</c><00:30:40.500><c> in</c><00:30:40.660><c> verse</c><00:30:40.819><c> 13,</c>

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.400
And<00:30:48.460><c> the</c><00:30:48.759><c> Philistines</c><00:30:49.759><c> envied</c><00:30:50.400><c> him.</c>

You<00:30:52.539><c> see,</c><00:30:52.640><c> they</c><00:30:52.839><c> wanted</c><00:30:53.059><c> what</c><00:30:53.220><c> he</c><00:30:53.460><c> had.</c>

00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:55.680
God's<00:30:54.059><c> blessing</c><00:30:54.220><c> was</c><00:30:54.480><c> so</c><00:30:54.759><c> obvious</c><00:30:55.039><c> upon</c><00:30:55.259><c> Isaac.</c>

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:57.099
