Well,<00:21:02.680><c> we've</c><00:21:03.140><c> come</c><00:21:03.259><c> to</c><00:21:03.440><c> see</c><00:21:03.579><c> some</c><00:21:03.839><c> of</c><00:21:03.940><c> the</c><00:21:04.099><c> possible</c><00:21:04.380><c> reasons,</c>

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:21.619
We<00:23:19.380><c> could</c><00:23:19.559><c> spend</c><00:23:19.720><c> a</c><00:23:19.839><c> lot</c><00:23:19.940><c> of</c><00:23:20.099><c> time</c><00:23:20.299><c> on</c><00:23:20.500><c> that.</c>

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.000

And<00:23:45.839><c> my</c><00:23:46.019><c> conclusion</c><00:23:46.420><c> is</c><00:23:46.599><c> it</c><00:23:46.759><c> may</c><00:23:46.880><c> well</c><00:23:47.059><c> have</c><00:23:47.160><c> been</c><00:23:47.240><c> all</c><00:23:47.460><c> of</c>

those<00:23:47.839><c> things.</c>

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:55.299
Suffice<00:23:50.859><c> it</c><00:23:50.980><c> to</c><00:23:51.180><c> say</c><00:23:51.420><c> that</c><00:23:53.220><c> this</c><00:23:53.619><c> coat</c><00:23:53.819><c> made</c><00:23:54.119><c> Joseph</c><00:23:54.500><c> a</c><00:23:54.799><c> very</c>

distinctive<00:23:55.759><c> individual.</c>

00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:01.619
It<00:23:57.799><c> doubtless</c><00:23:58.619><c> acknowledged</c><00:23:59.480><c> Joseph</c><00:23:59.940><c> as</c><00:24:00.920><c> carrying</c><00:24:01.339><c> the</c>

firstborn<00:24:02.740><c> entitlement.</c>

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.119
If<00:24:06.259><c> it</c><00:24:06.359><c> was</c><00:24:06.559><c> a</c><00:24:06.700><c> coat</c><00:24:06.779><c> of</c><00:24:06.920><c> many</c><00:24:07.180><c> colours,</c><00:24:07.460><c> and</c><00:24:07.599><c> I</c><00:24:07.720><c> like</c><00:24:07.859><c> to</c><00:24:08.039><c> think</c>

00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:08.980
it<00:24:08.319><c> possibly</c><00:24:08.619><c> was,</c>

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:12.619

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:17.160
I<00:24:13.400><c> believe</c><00:24:13.579><c> it</c><00:24:13.700><c> will</c><00:24:13.880><c> be</c><00:24:14.079><c> borne</c><00:24:14.339><c> out</c><00:24:14.660><c> by</c><00:24:14.980><c> the</c><00:24:15.960><c> profiles</c><00:24:16.460><c> of</c><00:24:16.759><c> the</c><00:24:16.900><c> brethren</c>

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:26.200
And<00:24:24.599><c> the</c><00:24:24.799><c> principle</c><00:24:24.940><c> is</c><00:24:25.160><c> taken</c><00:24:25.299><c> up</c><00:24:25.440><c> in</c><00:24:25.559><c> the</c><00:24:25.720><c> Apocalypse,</c><00:24:26.140><c> as</c>

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:49.340
That's<00:36:47.300><c> a</c><00:36:47.500><c> strange</c><00:36:47.719><c> reaction,</c><00:36:48.099><c> isn't</c><00:36:48.239><c> it?</c>

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:52.260
I<00:36:49.599><c> think</c><00:36:49.719><c> it</c><00:36:49.900><c> begins</c><00:36:50.139><c> to</c><00:36:50.380><c> show</c><00:36:50.519><c> that</c><00:36:50.699><c> Jacob</c><00:36:50.980><c> was</c><00:36:51.260><c> faltering.</c>

00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.780
Jacob<00:36:53.199><c> was</c><00:36:53.440><c> beginning</c><00:36:53.739><c> to</c><00:36:53.940><c> be</c><00:36:54.139><c> worried</c><00:36:54.320><c> by</c><00:36:54.539><c> the</c><00:36:54.679><c> ecclesial</c><00:36:55.079><c> strife.</c>

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:57.820
He<00:36:56.239><c> was</c><00:36:56.380><c> beginning</c><00:36:56.599><c> to</c><00:36:56.800><c> water</c><00:36:56.900><c> down</c><00:36:57.159><c> the</c><00:36:57.360><c> truth</c><00:36:57.480><c> a</c><00:36:57.619><c> little</c><00:36:57.719><c> bit.</c>

00:36:57.860 --> 00:37:00.340
He<00:36:57.860><c> said,</c><00:36:57.980><c> Look,</c><00:36:58.440><c> I</c><00:36:58.539><c> don't</c><00:36:58.739><c> want</c><00:36:58.900><c> you</c><00:36:59.079><c> to</c><00:36:59.199><c> rock</c><00:36:59.400><c> the</c><00:36:59.579><c> boat.</c>

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.519
Why<00:37:01.019><c> do</c><00:37:01.079><c> you</c><00:37:01.119><c> have</c><00:37:01.260><c> to</c><00:37:01.440><c> talk</c><00:37:01.559><c> about</c><00:37:01.739><c> these</c><00:37:01.940><c> things</c><00:37:02.139><c> all</c><00:37:02.340><c> the</c><00:37:02.420><c> time?</c>

00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:04.599
Why<00:37:02.719><c> can't</c><00:37:02.860><c> you</c><00:37:02.980><c> talk</c><00:37:03.139><c> about</c><00:37:03.340><c> something</c><00:37:03.579><c> else?</c>

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:09.780
But<00:37:06.980><c> then</c><00:37:07.159><c> he</c><00:37:07.360><c> interprets</c><00:37:07.679><c> exactly</c><00:37:08.159><c> what</c><00:37:08.280><c> he</c><00:37:08.380><c> was</c><00:37:08.500><c> talking</c><00:37:08.739><c> about.</c>

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:16.800
Jacob<00:37:15.800><c> knew</c><00:37:15.960><c> what</c><00:37:16.059><c> he</c><00:37:16.179><c> was</c><00:37:16.260><c> talking</c><00:37:16.480><c> about.</c>

00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:19.360
He<00:37:16.900><c> was</c><00:37:17.039><c> talking</c><00:37:17.199><c> about</c><00:37:17.579><c> resurrection</c><00:37:18.139><c> and</c><00:37:18.320><c> the</c><00:37:18.480><c> promises</c><00:37:18.719><c> to</c><00:37:18.960><c> Abraham.</c>

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.300
But<00:37:19.940><c> notice</c><00:37:20.219><c> he</c><00:37:20.360><c> says,</c><00:37:20.800><c> Shall</c><00:37:20.920><c> I</c><00:37:21.039><c> and</c><00:37:21.119><c> thy</c><00:37:21.320><c> mother?</c>

00:37:22.659 --> 00:37:24.340
She<00:37:23.079><c> was</c><00:37:23.380><c> dead.</c>

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:26.019
She<00:37:24.679><c> wasn't</c><00:37:25.019><c> there.</c>

00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:28.519
She<00:37:26.480><c> died</c><00:37:26.800><c> in</c><00:37:26.940><c> Genesis</c><00:37:27.260><c> 35</c><00:37:27.820><c> and</c><00:37:27.920><c> verse</c><00:37:28.139><c> 19.</c>

00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.219
So<00:37:28.920><c> Jacob</c><00:37:29.199><c> is</c><00:37:29.539><c> talking</c><00:37:29.820><c> about</c><00:37:30.099><c> resurrection.</c>

00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:35.000

00:42:39.659 --> 00:42:41.920
He<00:42:40.099><c> wanted</c><00:42:40.239><c> to</c><00:42:40.480><c> know</c><00:42:40.619><c> whether</c><00:42:40.840><c> his</c><00:42:41.059><c> brethren</c><00:42:41.360><c> were</c><00:42:41.599><c> conscious</c>

00:42:45.099 --> 00:42:48.260
Were<00:42:45.539><c> they</c><00:42:45.980><c> aware</c><00:42:46.539><c> of</c><00:42:46.739><c> their</c><00:42:46.940><c> responsibilities</c><00:42:47.599><c> or</c><00:42:47.920><c> had</c><00:42:48.039><c> they</c>

00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:51.840
Go<00:42:49.400><c> and</c><00:42:49.639><c> see</c><00:42:49.739><c> whether</c><00:42:49.940><c> it</c><00:42:50.079><c> be</c><00:42:50.280><c> Shalom</c><00:42:50.559><c> with</c><00:42:50.760><c> thy</c><00:42:50.920><c> brethren.</c>

And<00:42:52.760><c> then</c><00:42:53.119><c> see</c><00:42:53.360><c> whether</c><00:42:53.539><c> it</c><00:42:53.780><c> be</c><00:42:53.980><c> will</c><00:42:54.199><c> with</c><00:42:54.440><c> the</c><00:42:54.599><c> flocks.</c>

00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:11.139
That's<00:43:09.300><c> where</c><00:43:09.539><c> Abraham</c><00:43:10.039><c> was</c><00:43:10.300><c> buried.</c>

00:43:16.619 --> 00:43:19.760
And<00:43:17.019><c> he</c><00:43:17.139><c> sent</c><00:43:17.260><c> him</c><00:43:17.380><c> out</c><00:43:17.579><c> of</c><00:43:17.760><c> Hebron</c><00:43:18.179><c> and</c><00:43:18.280><c> he</c><00:43:18.380><c> came</c><00:43:18.599><c> to</c><00:43:18.780><c> Shechem.</c>

00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:23.860
And<00:43:21.559><c> the</c><00:43:21.559><c> most</c><00:43:21.820><c> dramatic</c><00:43:22.159><c> thing</c><00:43:22.440><c> happened</c><00:43:22.920><c> on</c><00:43:23.320><c> that</c><00:43:23.480><c> occasion</c>

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:25.860
in<00:43:24.019><c> verse</c><00:43:24.260><c> 15.</c>

00:43:27.219 --> 00:43:29.639
A<00:43:27.420><c> certain</c><00:43:27.679><c> man</c><00:43:27.960><c> found</c><00:43:28.300><c> him</c><00:43:28.559><c> and</c><00:43:28.760><c> behold</c><00:43:29.079><c> he</c><00:43:29.219><c> was</c><00:43:29.420><c> wandering</c>

00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:30.219
in<00:43:29.800><c> the</c><00:43:30.000><c> field.</c>

00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.579
And<00:43:30.400><c> the</c><00:43:30.440><c> man</c><00:43:30.579><c> asked</c><00:43:30.820><c> him,</c><00:43:31.099><c> saying,</c><00:43:31.320><c> What</c><00:43:31.400><c> seekest</c><00:43:31.780><c> thou?</c>

00:43:33.500 --> 00:43:35.519
A<00:43:34.019><c> certain</c><00:43:34.280><c> man</c><00:43:34.659><c> found</c><00:43:35.000><c> him.</c>

00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:38.480
I<00:43:36.260><c> believe</c><00:43:36.380><c> it</c><00:43:36.480><c> was</c><00:43:36.599><c> an</c><00:43:36.800><c> angel,</c><00:43:37.179><c> brethren</c><00:43:37.360><c> and</c><00:43:37.559><c> sisters.</c>

00:43:38.699 --> 00:43:42.019
Because<00:43:39.019><c> that</c><00:43:39.260><c> incident</c><00:43:39.559><c> changed</c><00:43:39.960><c> the</c><00:43:40.219><c> entire</c><00:43:40.559><c> course</c><00:43:40.800><c> of</c><00:43:41.019><c> history.</c>

00:43:43.019 --> 00:43:46.699
Notice<00:43:43.280><c> it</c><00:43:43.500><c> says,</c><00:43:43.880><c> Joseph</c><00:43:44.519><c> was</c><00:43:44.820><c> wandering</c><00:43:45.179><c> in</c><00:43:45.400><c> the</c><00:43:45.659><c> field.</c>

00:43:47.380 --> 00:43:49.780
Firstly<00:43:47.880><c> the</c><00:43:48.039><c> word</c><00:43:48.219><c> wandering</c><00:43:48.500><c> means</c><00:43:48.820><c> staggering.</c>

00:43:50.260 --> 00:43:51.559
He<00:43:50.260><c> was</c><00:43:50.460><c> exhausted.</c>

00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:53.139
He<00:43:51.599><c> looked</c><00:43:51.820><c> everywhere</c><00:43:52.320><c> and</c><00:43:52.460><c> couldn't</c><00:43:52.679><c> find</c><00:43:53.019><c> them.</c>

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:55.460
And<00:43:53.480><c> possibly</c><00:43:54.039><c> would</c><00:43:54.239><c> never</c><00:43:54.480><c> have</c><00:43:54.699><c> found</c><00:43:54.840><c> them.</c>

00:43:55.699 --> 00:43:58.159
Had<00:43:55.760><c> it</c><00:43:55.900><c> not</c><00:43:56.059><c> been</c><00:43:56.260><c> for</c><00:43:56.420><c> the</c><00:43:56.539><c> intervention</c><00:43:56.780><c> of</c><00:43:57.000><c> a</c><00:43:57.199><c> stranger.</c>

00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:00.860
What<00:44:00.059><c> seekest</c><00:44:00.559><c> thou?</c>

00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.920
Isn't<00:44:01.079><c> that</c><00:44:01.340><c> reminiscent</c><00:44:01.780><c> of</c><00:44:01.980><c> the</c><00:44:02.159><c> words</c><00:44:02.360><c> in</c><00:44:02.539><c> the</c><00:44:02.679><c> Garden</c><00:44:03.019><c> of</c><00:44:03.940><c> Gethsemane?</c>

00:44:06.780 --> 00:44:10.300
As<00:44:07.019><c> the</c><00:44:07.199><c> angel</c><00:44:07.420><c> said</c><00:44:07.739><c> to</c><00:44:08.239><c> the</c><00:44:08.420><c> disciples,</c><00:44:08.860><c> What</c><00:44:09.039><c> seekest</c><00:44:09.500><c> thou?</c>

00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:13.639
And<00:44:11.599><c> he</c><00:44:11.760><c> says</c><00:44:11.920><c> these</c><00:44:12.199><c> immortal</c><00:44:12.539><c> words</c><00:44:12.840><c> in</c><00:44:13.019><c> verse</c><00:44:13.199><c> 16.</c>

00:44:13.739 --> 00:44:14.940
I<00:44:14.000><c> seek</c><00:44:14.260><c> my</c><00:44:14.539><c> brethren.</c>

00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:17.739
Tell<00:44:15.760><c> me,</c><00:44:16.139><c> I</c><00:44:16.139><c> pray</c><00:44:16.320><c> thee,</c><00:44:16.460><c> where</c><00:44:16.559><c> they</c><00:44:16.780><c> feast.</c>

00:44:18.860 --> 00:44:22.099
And<00:44:19.219><c> the</c><00:44:19.360><c> man</c><00:44:19.559><c> said,</c><00:44:21.019><c> They</c><00:44:21.300><c> are</c><00:44:21.440><c> departed</c><00:44:21.739><c> hence.</c>

For<00:44:22.380><c> I</c><00:44:22.739><c> heard</c><00:44:22.980><c> them</c><00:44:23.320><c> say,</c><00:44:24.599><c> Let</c><00:44:24.760><c> us</c><00:44:24.920><c> go</c><00:44:25.119><c> to</c><00:44:25.320><c> Dothan.</c>

00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.500

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.400
I<00:44:34.699><c> would</c><00:44:34.920><c> go</c><00:44:35.579><c> incognito,</c><00:44:36.440><c> so</c><00:44:36.619><c> to</c><00:44:36.780><c> speak,</c><00:44:36.980><c> because</c><00:44:37.159><c> they</c><00:44:37.320><c> were</c>

00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.900

00:44:41.500 --> 00:44:43.380

00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:53.639
We<00:44:51.019><c> lose</c><00:44:51.380><c> consciousness</c><00:44:51.840><c> sometimes</c><00:44:52.420><c> that</c><00:44:52.579><c> the</c><00:44:52.820><c> angel</c><00:44:53.000><c> is</c><00:44:53.260><c> standing</c><00:44:53.460><c> in</c>

00:45:01.420 --> 00:45:03.739

00:45:12.820 --> 00:45:16.019
Dothan<00:45:13.199><c> was</c><00:45:13.460><c> the</c><00:45:13.820><c> crossroads</c><00:45:14.320><c> of</c><00:45:14.599><c> the</c><00:45:14.780><c> caravan</c><00:45:15.159><c> route.</c>

00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:20.000
We<00:45:17.119><c> know</c><00:45:17.360><c> this</c><00:45:17.659><c> from</c><00:45:17.860><c> the</c><00:45:18.199><c> caravan</c><00:45:18.579><c> which</c><00:45:18.960><c> was</c><00:45:19.639><c> encountered</c>

00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:35.780
If<00:45:33.500><c> you</c><00:45:33.619><c> wanted</c><00:45:33.719><c> to</c><00:45:33.840><c> have</c><00:45:33.920><c> a</c><00:45:34.019><c> good</c><00:45:34.199><c> time,</c><00:45:34.480><c> Dothan</c><00:45:34.820><c> would</c><00:45:34.960><c> be</c><00:45:35.059><c> just</c><00:45:35.280><c> the</c><00:45:35.440><c> place</c><00:45:35.579><c> to</c>

go<00:45:35.920><c> to</c>

00:45:36.019 --> 00:45:37.920
and<00:45:36.079><c> that's</c><00:45:36.300><c> exactly</c><00:45:36.760><c> what</c><00:45:36.900><c> they</c><00:45:37.059><c> had</c><00:45:37.199><c> in</c><00:45:37.400><c> mind,</c><00:45:37.659><c> but</c><00:45:37.739><c> they</c>

00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.780

00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:43.900
They<00:45:41.800><c> soon</c><00:45:42.119><c> fixed</c><00:45:42.420><c> that,</c><00:45:42.679><c> didn't</c><00:45:42.880><c> they?</c>

00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.679
So<00:45:44.480><c> they</c><00:45:44.619><c> said,</c><00:45:44.840><c> Let</c><00:45:44.900><c> us</c><00:45:45.039><c> go</c><00:45:45.260><c> to</c><00:45:45.500><c> Dothan.</c>

00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.539
And<00:45:47.480><c> Joseph</c><00:45:47.699><c> went</c><00:45:47.880><c> after</c><00:45:48.119><c> his</c><00:45:48.340><c> brethren</c><00:45:48.599><c> and</c><00:45:48.820><c> found</c><00:45:49.099><c> them</c><00:45:49.280><c> in</c><00:45:49.559><c> Dothan.</c>

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:54.099
Dothan<00:45:51.340><c> means</c><00:45:51.739><c> two</c><00:45:52.079><c> wells</c><00:45:52.440><c> or</c><00:45:52.840><c> two</c><00:45:53.219><c> pits.</c>

00:45:54.699 --> 00:45:56.199
Isn't<00:45:54.880><c> that</c><00:45:55.139><c> significant?</c>

00:45:57.219 --> 00:45:58.599
Two<00:45:57.659><c> pits.</c>

00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:01.840
And<00:45:59.900><c> when</c><00:46:00.000><c> they</c><00:46:00.179><c> saw</c><00:46:00.320><c> him</c><00:46:00.480><c> afar</c><00:46:00.760><c> off,</c><00:46:01.019><c> even</c><00:46:01.219><c> before</c><00:46:01.500><c> he</c><00:46:01.619><c> came</c>

near<00:46:02.039><c> unto</c><00:46:02.179><c> them,</c>

00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.340
they<00:46:02.519><c> conspired</c><00:46:03.000><c> against</c><00:46:03.239><c> him</c><00:46:03.380><c> to</c><00:46:03.599><c> slay</c><00:46:03.820><c> him.</c>

00:46:04.340 --> 00:46:07.639
How<00:46:04.980><c> did</c><00:46:05.099><c> they</c><00:46:05.340><c> see</c><00:46:05.519><c> him</c><00:46:05.659><c> afar</c><00:46:05.960><c> off?</c><00:46:06.179><c> Did</c><00:46:06.280><c> they</c><00:46:06.440><c> have</c><00:46:06.579><c> telescopes?</c>

00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:09.760
I<00:46:08.719><c> think</c><00:46:08.860><c> not.</c>

00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:12.239
I<00:46:10.320><c> think</c><00:46:10.480><c> it</c><00:46:10.579><c> was</c><00:46:10.719><c> the</c><00:46:10.900><c> coat</c><00:46:11.019><c> of</c><00:46:11.179><c> many</c><00:46:11.420><c> colours</c><00:46:11.719><c> which</c><00:46:12.039><c> stood</c>

out<00:46:12.659><c> as</c><00:46:12.900><c> they</c><00:46:13.099><c> saw</c><00:46:13.260><c> him</c><00:46:13.500><c> coming.</c>

00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.500
He<00:46:14.880><c> stood</c><00:46:15.039><c> out</c><00:46:15.199><c> as</c><00:46:15.380><c> a</c><00:46:15.619><c> very</c><00:46:15.860><c> distinguished</c><00:46:16.380><c> individual</c>

00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:20.340
and<00:46:18.019><c> they</c><00:46:18.440><c> conspired</c><00:46:19.300><c> against</c><00:46:19.639><c> him</c><00:46:19.840><c> to</c><00:46:20.059><c> slay</c><00:46:20.199><c> him.</c>

00:46:20.340 --> 00:46:23.579
That<00:46:20.539><c> means</c><00:46:20.800><c> they</c><00:46:21.199><c> breathed</c><00:46:21.639><c> out</c><00:46:21.900><c> with</c><00:46:22.159><c> one</c><00:46:22.440><c> breath.</c>

00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:29.599
And<00:46:24.699><c> they</c><00:46:24.920><c> said,</c><00:46:26.539><c> Behold,</c><00:46:27.420><c> this</c><00:46:27.860><c> dreamer</c><00:46:28.500><c> cometh.</c>

00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:31.440
A<00:46:30.679><c> terrible</c><00:46:31.019><c> statement.</c>

00:55:51.460 --> 00:55:53.980
I<00:55:51.579><c> would</c><00:55:51.699><c> have</c><00:55:51.780><c> said</c><00:55:51.900><c> well</c><00:55:52.059><c> the</c><00:55:52.179><c> truth</c><00:55:52.320><c> just</c><00:55:52.559><c> doesn't</c><00:55:52.739><c> exist</c><00:55:53.079><c> anymore.</c>

00:55:56.039 --> 00:55:57.639
There<00:55:56.179><c> was</c><00:55:56.300><c> no</c><00:55:56.440><c> such</c><00:55:56.599><c> thing</c><00:55:56.780><c> as</c><00:55:56.980><c> divine</c><00:55:57.219><c> intervention</c>

00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:00.039
because<00:55:58.000><c> he</c><00:55:58.159><c> had</c><00:55:58.300><c> been</c><00:55:58.460><c> perfectly</c><00:55:58.920><c> sincere</c><00:55:59.360><c> in</c><00:55:59.480><c> his</c><00:55:59.659><c> efforts.</c>

00:56:00.420 --> 00:56:04.460
And<00:56:00.679><c> here</c><00:56:00.780><c> he</c><00:56:00.900><c> was</c><00:56:01.019><c> being</c><00:56:01.400><c> subjected</c><00:56:01.860><c> to</c><00:56:02.019><c> this</c><00:56:02.199><c> incredible</c><00:56:03.639><c> humiliation</c>

00:56:04.460 --> 00:56:07.039
and<00:56:04.679><c> then</c><00:56:05.039><c> finally</c><00:56:05.420><c> he</c><00:56:05.659><c> knew</c><00:56:05.780><c> that</c><00:56:05.920><c> it</c><00:56:06.039><c> would</c><00:56:06.179><c> be</c><00:56:06.420><c> sold</c><00:56:06.519><c> into</c><00:56:06.719><c> slavery</c>

00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:09.420

go<00:56:09.519><c> through</c>

00:56:09.639 --> 00:56:11.699
at<00:56:09.739><c> the</c><00:56:09.739><c> hands</c><00:56:09.940><c> of</c><00:56:10.139><c> these</c><00:56:10.340><c> men.</c>

00:56:14.579 --> 00:56:16.199
20<00:56:14.860><c> pieces</c><00:56:15.179><c> of</c><00:56:15.400><c> silver.</c>

00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:19.019
10<00:56:17.199><c> brethren,</c><00:56:17.639><c> 20</c><00:56:17.900><c> pieces</c><00:56:18.219><c> of</c><00:56:18.340><c> silver.</c>

Two<00:56:19.760><c> pieces</c><00:56:20.079><c> each.</c>

00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.739
That<00:56:20.679><c> would</c><00:56:20.760><c> be</c><00:56:20.900><c> enough</c><00:56:21.079><c> for</c><00:56:21.280><c> one</c><00:56:21.519><c> sideshow</c><00:56:21.980><c> and</c><00:56:22.079><c> a</c><00:56:22.239><c> sample</c><00:56:22.440><c> bag</c><00:56:22.639><c> I</c>

00:56:22.739 --> 00:56:23.880
would<00:56:22.860><c> imagine.</c>

00:56:25.980 --> 00:56:27.179
Didn't<00:56:26.159><c> last</c><00:56:26.460><c> very</c><00:56:26.739><c> long.</c>

00:56:27.639 --> 00:56:29.719
Two<00:56:27.840><c> pieces</c><00:56:28.179><c> of</c><00:56:28.360><c> silver</c><00:56:28.599><c> per</c><00:56:28.860><c> person.</c>

00:56:30.619 --> 00:56:32.860
Silver<00:56:30.920><c> brethren</c><00:56:31.159><c> and</c><00:56:31.340><c> sisters</c><00:56:31.480><c> is</c><00:56:31.679><c> another</c><00:56:31.920><c> theme</c><00:56:32.199><c> in</c><00:56:32.320><c> this</c><00:56:32.559><c> record.</c>

00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:35.780
These<00:56:33.420><c> brethren</c><00:56:33.719><c> were</c><00:56:33.880><c> going</c><00:56:34.000><c> to</c><00:56:34.099><c> get</c><00:56:34.179><c> to</c><00:56:34.320><c> a</c><00:56:34.360><c> stage</c><00:56:34.440><c> where</c><00:56:34.639><c> they</c><00:56:35.119><c> hated</c><00:56:35.500><c> the</c>

00:56:35.780 --> 00:56:36.860
sight<00:56:35.900><c> of</c><00:56:36.119><c> silver.</c>

00:56:37.699 --> 00:56:39.980
Later<00:56:38.099><c> on</c><00:56:38.340><c> they</c><00:56:38.440><c> were</c><00:56:38.599><c> going</c><00:56:38.739><c> to</c><00:56:38.920><c> nearly</c><00:56:39.159><c> have</c><00:56:39.380><c> heart</c><00:56:39.679><c> attacks</c>

00:56:39.980 --> 00:56:41.460
whenever<00:56:40.199><c> they</c><00:56:40.400><c> saw</c><00:56:40.619><c> silver.</c>

00:56:41.980 --> 00:56:43.679
And<00:56:42.099><c> I</c><00:56:42.199><c> believe</c><00:56:42.420><c> God</c><00:56:42.639><c> will</c><00:56:42.800><c> do</c><00:56:42.920><c> the</c><00:56:43.079><c> same</c><00:56:43.260><c> for</c><00:56:43.420><c> us.</c>

00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:46.519
He<00:56:43.840><c> will</c><00:56:44.119><c> shake</c><00:56:44.500><c> materialism</c><00:56:45.119><c> out</c><00:56:45.260><c> of</c><00:56:45.320><c> us.</c>

00:56:47.019 --> 00:56:49.639
There's<00:56:47.139><c> probably</c><00:56:47.460><c> times</c><00:56:47.840><c> when</c><00:56:48.000><c> we</c><00:56:48.239><c> covet</c><00:56:48.380><c> that</c><00:56:48.639><c> silver.</c>

00:56:49.739 --> 00:56:51.920
But<00:56:49.880><c> the</c><00:56:50.059><c> process</c><00:56:50.300><c> of</c><00:56:50.539><c> life</c><00:56:50.679><c> will</c><00:56:50.860><c> show</c><00:56:51.059><c> us</c><00:56:51.199><c> how</c><00:56:51.500><c> dreadfully</c>

00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:53.219
wrong<00:56:52.119><c> we</c><00:56:52.360><c> are.</c>

00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:55.280
But<00:56:54.599><c> they</c><00:56:54.739><c> were</c><00:56:54.820><c> quite</c><00:56:55.019><c> happy.</c>

00:56:55.300 --> 00:56:56.360
That<00:56:55.420><c> was</c><00:56:55.619><c> quite</c><00:56:55.800><c> a</c><00:56:55.920><c> good</c><00:56:56.039><c> deal.</c>

00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:59.179
Yes<00:56:56.739><c> it</c><00:56:56.800><c> took</c><00:56:57.000><c> a</c><00:56:57.139><c> couple</c><00:56:57.280><c> of</c><00:56:57.480><c> hours</c><00:56:57.619><c> but</c><00:56:57.719><c> it</c><00:56:57.840><c> was</c><00:56:57.960><c> worth</c><00:56:58.159><c> the</c><00:56:58.340><c> waiting.</c>

00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:02.199
And<00:57:00.179><c> so</c><00:57:00.340><c> Joseph</c><00:57:00.639><c> was</c><00:57:00.880><c> brought</c><00:57:01.099><c> into</c><00:57:01.320><c> Egypt.</c>

00:57:03.239 --> 00:57:04.980
And<00:57:03.360><c> then</c><00:57:03.519><c> Reuben</c><00:57:03.880><c> returns</c><00:57:04.480><c> to</c><00:57:04.659><c> the</c><00:57:04.820><c> record.</c>

00:57:04.980 --> 00:57:05.840
But<00:57:05.039><c> he</c><00:57:05.119><c> returned</c><00:57:05.460><c> to</c><00:57:05.599><c> the</c><00:57:05.719><c> pit.</c>

00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.139
And<00:57:06.019><c> behold</c><00:57:06.260><c> Joseph</c><00:57:06.619><c> was</c><00:57:06.760><c> not</c><00:57:06.940><c> in</c><00:57:07.059><c> the</c><00:57:07.179><c> pit.</c>

00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.480
And<00:57:09.159><c> he</c><00:57:09.199><c> ended</c><00:57:09.360><c> up</c><00:57:09.599><c> with</c><00:57:09.719><c> a</c><00:57:09.860><c> garment</c><00:57:10.139><c> of</c><00:57:10.340><c> many</c><00:57:10.559><c> pieces.</c>

00:57:12.420 --> 00:57:14.420
He'd<00:57:12.579><c> always</c><00:57:12.780><c> been</c><00:57:12.960><c> jealous</c><00:57:13.260><c> of</c><00:57:13.400><c> that</c><00:57:13.539><c> garment</c><00:57:13.800><c> of</c><00:57:13.940><c> many</c><00:57:14.079><c> pieces.</c>

00:57:14.460 --> 00:57:15.519
Well<00:57:14.579><c> now</c><00:57:14.699><c> he</c><00:57:14.800><c> had</c><00:57:15.000><c> one.</c>

00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:17.579
And<00:57:16.119><c> he</c><00:57:16.239><c> rent</c><00:57:16.400><c> his</c><00:57:16.659><c> clothes.</c>

00:57:18.280 --> 00:57:20.119
And<00:57:18.400><c> he</c><00:57:18.519><c> returned</c><00:57:18.699><c> to</c><00:57:18.840><c> his</c><00:57:19.000><c> brethren</c><00:57:19.199><c> and</c><00:57:19.300><c> said</c><00:57:19.460><c> the</c><00:57:19.619><c> child</c><00:57:19.900><c> is</c>

00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.000
not<00:57:20.280><c> and</c><00:57:20.460><c> I</c><00:57:20.619><c> wither</c><00:57:20.840><c> shall</c><00:57:20.960><c> I</c><00:57:21.159><c> go.</c>

00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:25.400
Very<00:57:24.079><c> sad</c><00:57:24.440><c> record.</c>

00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:27.800
He<00:57:25.539><c> didn't</c><00:57:25.800><c> know</c><00:57:26.059><c> what</c><00:57:26.219><c> had</c><00:57:26.420><c> happened</c><00:57:26.659><c> to</c><00:57:26.920><c> Joseph.</c>

00:57:28.739 --> 00:57:29.699
And<00:57:29.099><c> he</c><00:57:29.179><c> looked</c><00:57:29.280><c> at</c><00:57:29.420><c> the</c><00:57:29.559><c> brethren.</c>

00:57:29.780 --> 00:57:31.659
Can<00:57:29.900><c> you</c><00:57:29.920><c> imagine</c><00:57:30.219><c> what</c><00:57:30.400><c> the</c><00:57:30.579><c> brethren's</c><00:57:31.019><c> faces</c><00:57:31.280><c> must</c><00:57:31.519><c> have</c>

00:57:31.659 --> 00:57:33.960
been<00:57:31.780><c> like</c><00:57:31.960><c> as</c><00:57:32.119><c> Reuben</c><00:57:32.920><c> came</c><00:57:33.139><c> running</c><00:57:33.360><c> back</c><00:57:33.559><c> into</c><00:57:33.699><c> the</c><00:57:33.860><c> camp.</c>

00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:34.840
They<00:57:33.960><c> said</c><00:57:34.059><c> well</c><00:57:34.179><c> he's</c><00:57:34.320><c> gone,</c><00:57:34.539><c> he's</c><00:57:34.679><c> gone.</c>

00:57:34.900 --> 00:57:37.519
I<00:57:34.900><c> went</c><00:57:35.079><c> is</c><00:57:36.079><c> he?</c>

00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:39.500
He's<00:57:38.320><c> not</c><00:57:38.539><c> there.</c>

00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:40.179
And<00:57:39.659><c> they</c><00:57:39.780><c> nudged</c><00:57:39.960><c> each</c><00:57:40.079><c> other.</c>

00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:41.159
Any<00:57:40.440><c> idea</c><00:57:40.679><c> where</c><00:57:40.920><c> Joseph</c><00:57:41.079><c> is?</c>

00:57:41.260 --> 00:57:44.260
No<00:57:41.599><c> I</c><00:57:41.739><c> didn't</c><00:57:41.940><c> see</c><00:57:42.119><c> him</c><00:57:42.320><c> go.</c>

00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.380
Whether<00:57:45.599><c> Reuben</c><00:57:45.940><c> was</c><00:57:46.179><c> brought</c><00:57:46.420><c> into</c><00:57:46.599><c> the</c><00:57:46.760><c> conspiracy</c><00:57:47.239><c> I</c>
