00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.299
Alright,<00:00:02.220><c> well</c><00:00:02.459><c> where</c><00:00:02.540><c> we</c><00:00:02.740><c> left</c><00:00:03.040><c> off</c><00:00:03.399><c> at</c><00:00:03.600><c> the</c><00:00:03.700><c> end</c><00:00:03.819><c> of</c><00:00:03.960><c> our</c><00:00:04.080><c> last</c><00:00:04.400><c> class</c><00:00:04.860><c> was</c>

00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:06.299
seeing<00:00:05.599><c> the</c><00:00:05.820><c> decision</c>

00:00:06.299 --> 00:00:09.140
that<00:00:06.580><c> Judah</c><00:00:06.740><c> and</c><00:00:06.879><c> his</c><00:00:07.099><c> brethren</c><00:00:07.320><c> had</c><00:00:07.620><c> made</c><00:00:07.960><c> to</c><00:00:08.500><c> sell</c><00:00:08.800><c> off</c>

00:00:09.140 --> 00:00:10.599
their<00:00:09.359><c> brother</c><00:00:09.580><c> Joseph.</c>

00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.919
But<00:00:11.419><c> we</c><00:00:11.580><c> saw</c><00:00:11.800><c> also</c><00:00:12.140><c> that</c><00:00:12.279><c> it</c><00:00:12.419><c> didn't</c><00:00:12.580><c> result</c><00:00:13.039><c> in</c><00:00:13.259><c> what</c><00:00:13.720><c> Judah</c>

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.140
was<00:00:14.099><c> hoping</c><00:00:14.320><c> it</c><00:00:14.439><c> would</c><00:00:14.619><c> accomplish,</c>

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:17.660
which<00:00:15.619><c> is</c><00:00:15.759><c> him</c><00:00:15.900><c> moving</c><00:00:16.179><c> into</c><00:00:16.420><c> the</c><00:00:16.579><c> position</c><00:00:16.980><c> of</c><00:00:17.219><c> leadership</c>

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:18.899
in<00:00:17.820><c> the</c><00:00:18.000><c> family.</c>

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.440
And<00:00:19.280><c> so</c><00:00:19.440><c> chapter</c><00:00:19.739><c> 37</c><00:00:20.339><c> ends</c><00:00:20.739><c> with</c><00:00:21.140><c> the</c><00:00:21.379><c> account</c><00:00:21.679><c> of</c><00:00:21.940><c> where</c><00:00:22.399><c> Joseph</c><00:00:23.019><c> now</c>

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.839

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.839
sold<00:00:26.160><c> to</c><00:00:26.339><c> the</c><00:00:26.500><c> house</c><00:00:26.719><c> of</c><00:00:26.960><c> Potiphar.</c>

00:00:27.859 --> 00:00:30.480
But<00:00:28.120><c> strangely</c><00:00:28.679><c> the</c><00:00:28.920><c> record</c><00:00:29.219><c> shifts</c><00:00:29.500><c> over</c><00:00:29.839><c> now</c><00:00:30.079><c> in</c><00:00:30.239><c> chapter</c>

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.539
38<00:00:31.100><c> to</c><00:00:31.660><c> something</c><00:00:31.920><c> all</c><00:00:32.179><c> about</c><00:00:32.619><c> Judah.</c>

00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:38.740
Many<00:00:34.299><c> people</c><00:00:34.539><c> have</c><00:00:34.719><c> wondered</c><00:00:35.020><c> why</c><00:00:35.479><c> is</c><00:00:35.820><c> chapter</c><00:00:36.060><c> 38</c><00:00:36.600><c> in</c><00:00:37.020><c> the</c><00:00:37.280><c> account</c><00:00:37.679><c> at</c>

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:40.780
all,<00:00:39.780><c> much</c><00:00:40.000><c> less</c><00:00:40.219><c> where</c><00:00:40.420><c> it's</c>

00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:42.780
actually<00:00:41.200><c> located</c><00:00:41.579><c> in</c><00:00:41.799><c> the</c><00:00:41.939><c> account.</c>

00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:46.060
When<00:00:43.140><c> you</c><00:00:43.259><c> read</c><00:00:43.399><c> at</c><00:00:43.560><c> the</c><00:00:43.619><c> end</c><00:00:43.740><c> of</c><00:00:43.939><c> chapter</c><00:00:44.200><c> 37,</c><00:00:45.359><c> it</c><00:00:45.359><c> talks</c><00:00:45.619><c> about</c><00:00:45.899><c> the</c>

00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:47.600
house<00:00:46.399><c> of</c><00:00:46.719><c> Potiphar</c><00:00:47.140><c> and</c><00:00:47.280><c> Joseph</c>

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:48.560
being<00:00:47.880><c> sold</c><00:00:48.200><c> there.</c>

00:00:48.899 --> 00:00:51.280
And<00:00:49.079><c> when</c><00:00:49.179><c> you</c><00:00:49.320><c> read</c><00:00:49.460><c> at</c><00:00:49.640><c> the</c><00:00:49.759><c> beginning</c><00:00:50.039><c> of</c><00:00:50.299><c> chapter</c><00:00:50.600><c> 39,</c><00:00:51.119><c> it</c>

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.880
picks<00:00:51.520><c> right</c><00:00:51.859><c> up</c><00:00:52.119><c> where</c><00:00:52.399><c> at</c><00:00:52.539><c> the</c><00:00:52.539><c> end</c><00:00:52.700><c> of</c>

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.659
chapter<00:00:53.039><c> 37</c><00:00:53.579><c> left</c><00:00:53.899><c> off</c><00:00:54.179><c> and</c><00:00:54.420><c> Joseph</c><00:00:54.659><c> was</c><00:00:54.939><c> brought</c><00:00:55.219><c> down</c><00:00:55.500><c> to</c>

00:00:55.659 --> 00:00:58.240
Egypt<00:00:56.100><c> and</c><00:00:56.820><c> Potiphar</c><00:00:57.219><c> and</c><00:00:57.500><c> officer</c><00:00:57.820><c> Opharo,</c>

00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:00.000
so<00:00:58.500><c> on</c><00:00:58.719><c> and</c><00:00:58.960><c> so</c><00:00:59.200><c> forth.</c>

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.240
So<00:01:00.420><c> the</c><00:01:00.579><c> record</c><00:01:00.780><c> would</c><00:01:01.020><c> actually</c><00:01:01.359><c> read</c><00:01:01.600><c> better</c><00:01:01.859><c> without</c><00:01:02.420><c> chapter</c><00:01:02.880><c> 38</c><00:01:03.320><c> present.</c>

00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:07.519
So<00:01:04.799><c> its</c><00:01:05.140><c> insertion</c><00:01:05.680><c> into</c><00:01:05.959><c> the</c><00:01:06.219><c> record</c><00:01:06.420><c> is</c><00:01:06.700><c> abrupt.</c>

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.640
Clearly<00:01:08.019><c> it</c><00:01:08.299><c> interrupts</c><00:01:08.659><c> the</c><00:01:08.799><c> narrative</c><00:01:09.159><c> and</c><00:01:10.079><c> the</c><00:01:10.299><c> content</c>

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.200
within<00:01:10.879><c> the</c><00:01:11.120><c> chapter</c><00:01:11.319><c> is</c><00:01:11.540><c> actually</c><00:01:11.939><c> quite</c>

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:13.040
abrupt<00:01:12.480><c> as</c><00:01:12.739><c> well.</c>

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:15.599
It's<00:01:13.620><c> pretty</c><00:01:13.840><c> disturbing</c><00:01:14.319><c> to</c><00:01:14.560><c> read</c><00:01:14.739><c> some</c><00:01:14.980><c> of</c><00:01:15.079><c> it.</c>

00:01:16.099 --> 00:01:18.420
And<00:01:16.340><c> so</c><00:01:16.439><c> you</c><00:01:16.560><c> begin</c><00:01:16.700><c> to</c><00:01:16.900><c> wonder,</c><00:01:17.200><c> well</c><00:01:17.200><c> what</c><00:01:17.359><c> is</c><00:01:17.579><c> God</c><00:01:17.939><c> trying</c>

00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:19.719
to<00:01:18.780><c> accomplish?</c>

00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:22.959
Clearly<00:01:20.319><c> it's</c><00:01:20.799><c> intentionally</c><00:01:21.260><c> been</c><00:01:21.540><c> put</c><00:01:21.700><c> here,</c><00:01:22.040><c> so</c><00:01:22.459><c> what</c><00:01:22.819><c> are</c>

00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.219
we<00:01:23.159><c> supposed</c><00:01:23.480><c> to</c><00:01:23.719><c> extract</c><00:01:24.060><c> from</c><00:01:24.340><c> it?</c>

00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.540
Well<00:01:25.400><c> I</c><00:01:25.439><c> believe</c><00:01:25.680><c> there's</c><00:01:25.900><c> really</c><00:01:26.159><c> two</c><00:01:26.420><c> things</c><00:01:26.799><c> that</c><00:01:26.980><c> are</c><00:01:27.200><c> trying</c><00:01:27.359><c> to</c>

00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:28.799
be<00:01:27.760><c> shown</c><00:01:27.959><c> to</c><00:01:28.200><c> us.</c>

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:33.420
First<00:01:29.400><c> is</c><00:01:29.640><c> to</c><00:01:29.879><c> present</c><00:01:30.239><c> the</c><00:01:31.620><c> contrast</c><00:01:32.260><c> that</c><00:01:32.579><c> exists</c><00:01:32.879><c> between</c>

00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:36.060
where<00:01:33.799><c> Judah</c><00:01:34.040><c> is</c><00:01:34.280><c> presently</c><00:01:34.700><c> at</c><00:01:34.920><c> and</c><00:01:35.599><c> where</c>

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:37.519
Joseph<00:01:36.480><c> is</c><00:01:36.719><c> at.</c>

00:01:37.819 --> 00:01:42.060
While<00:01:38.019><c> Joseph</c><00:01:38.420><c> is</c><00:01:38.859><c> fleeing</c><00:01:39.120><c> from</c><00:01:39.640><c> fornication</c><00:01:40.439><c> in</c><00:01:40.739><c> Egypt,</c><00:01:41.739><c> what</c><00:01:41.879><c> we</c>

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:43.480
find<00:01:42.299><c> Judah</c><00:01:42.579><c> doing</c><00:01:42.799><c> is</c><00:01:43.140><c> running</c>

00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.000

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.159
And<00:01:46.680><c> while</c><00:01:46.959><c> Joseph</c><00:01:47.400><c> is</c><00:01:47.640><c> somebody</c><00:01:48.000><c> who</c><00:01:48.400><c> is</c><00:01:49.200><c> resolute</c><00:01:49.700><c> in</c><00:01:49.879><c> his</c>

00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:57.719
We<00:01:52.219><c> read</c><00:01:52.459><c> over</c><00:01:52.780><c> and</c><00:01:52.900><c> over</c><00:01:53.040><c> again</c><00:01:53.219><c> in</c><00:01:53.379><c> chapter</c><00:01:53.739><c> 39,</c><00:01:55.180><c> we</c><00:01:55.299><c> find</c><00:01:55.599><c> instead</c><00:01:56.079><c> Judah</c><00:01:56.359><c> deciding</c><00:01:56.959><c> to</c>

00:01:57.719 --> 00:01:58.299
go<00:01:57.959><c> away</c>

00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:01.719
from<00:01:58.719><c> his</c><00:01:59.019><c> brethren,</c><00:01:59.920><c> away</c><00:02:00.299><c> from</c><00:02:00.819><c> God.</c>

00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.599
The<00:02:02.079><c> contrast</c><00:02:02.620><c> is</c><00:02:02.819><c> being</c><00:02:03.079><c> painted</c><00:02:03.379><c> as</c><00:02:03.680><c> to</c><00:02:03.799><c> where</c><00:02:04.019><c> these</c><00:02:04.299><c> two</c>

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:09.439

Why<00:06:31.779><c> was</c><00:06:31.980><c> this</c><00:06:32.180><c> the</c><00:06:32.399><c> place</c><00:06:32.680><c> that</c><00:06:32.839><c> he</c><00:06:32.980><c> would</c><00:06:33.180><c> decide</c><00:06:33.579><c> to</c><00:06:33.839><c> go?</c>

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.600
Well,<00:06:34.980><c> 11</c><00:06:35.240><c> years</c><00:06:35.540><c> earlier,</c><00:06:36.480><c> this</c><00:06:36.800><c> is</c><00:06:37.079><c> where</c><00:06:37.959><c> Judah</c><00:06:38.459><c> had</c><00:06:39.339><c> met</c>

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.100
his<00:06:39.959><c> uncle</c><00:06:40.259><c> Esau.</c>

00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:45.139
And<00:06:41.680><c> in</c><00:06:41.860><c> fact,</c><00:06:42.000><c> this</c><00:06:42.160><c> is</c><00:06:42.379><c> where</c><00:06:42.779><c> uncle</c><00:06:43.199><c> Esau</c><00:06:43.939><c> had</c><00:06:44.240><c> gained</c><00:06:44.540><c> his</c><00:06:44.860><c> wealth.</c>

00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:49.959
Genesis<00:06:45.759><c> 36</c><00:06:46.379><c> and</c><00:06:46.600><c> verse</c><00:06:46.839><c> 6</c><00:06:47.459><c> were</c><00:06:47.920><c> told</c><00:06:48.100><c> that's</c><00:06:48.379><c> where</c><00:06:48.620><c> Esau</c><00:06:49.100><c> gained</c><00:06:49.540><c> all</c><00:06:49.860><c> of</c>

00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.339
his<00:06:50.199><c> wealth,</c><00:06:51.279><c> was</c><00:06:51.439><c> in</c><00:06:51.740><c> Canaan.</c>

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:54.980
And<00:06:52.939><c> so</c><00:06:53.079><c> perhaps</c><00:06:53.600><c> Judah</c><00:06:53.879><c> began</c><00:06:54.319><c> to</c><00:06:54.600><c> reason.</c>

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.860
If<00:06:55.660><c> he</c><00:06:55.819><c> couldn't</c><00:06:56.060><c> gain</c><00:06:56.360><c> anything</c><00:06:56.720><c> in</c><00:06:56.879><c> the</c><00:06:57.060><c> household</c><00:06:57.360><c> of</c><00:06:57.680><c> faith,</c><00:06:58.620><c> why</c>

00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:01.139
not<00:06:59.060><c> pour</c><00:06:59.300><c> himself</c><00:06:59.839><c> into</c><00:07:00.079><c> the</c><00:07:00.360><c> present?</c>

00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.319
And<00:07:01.360><c> perhaps</c><00:07:01.660><c> he</c><00:07:01.779><c> could</c><00:07:01.939><c> at</c><00:07:02.079><c> least</c><00:07:02.279><c> have</c><00:07:02.519><c> some</c><00:07:02.800><c> fulfillment,</c>

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.980
similar<00:07:04.060><c> to</c><00:07:04.220><c> how</c><00:07:04.420><c> things</c><00:07:04.699><c> were</c><00:07:04.920><c> going</c><00:07:05.100><c> for</c><00:07:05.379><c> the</c><00:07:05.579><c> descendants</c>

00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:07.339
of<00:07:06.420><c> Esau.</c>

00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:10.079
The<00:07:07.879><c> contrast</c><00:07:08.360><c> couldn't</c><00:07:08.620><c> be</c><00:07:08.800><c> more</c><00:07:09.139><c> stark,</c><00:07:09.439><c> could</c><00:07:09.579><c> it?</c>

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.819
Of<00:07:10.579><c> the</c><00:07:10.759><c> permanence</c><00:07:11.100><c> of</c><00:07:11.319><c> Esau's</c><00:07:11.759><c> family,</c><00:07:13.060><c> and</c><00:07:13.139><c> the</c><00:07:13.279><c> vagrancy</c>

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.379
And<00:07:15.720><c> so</c><00:07:15.819><c> look</c><00:07:15.980><c> at</c><00:07:16.040><c> what</c><00:07:16.199><c> it</c><00:07:16.360><c> is</c><00:07:16.500><c> that</c><00:07:16.699><c> he</c><00:07:16.939><c> begins</c><00:07:17.279><c> to</c><00:07:17.620><c> pursue.</c>

00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.160
The<00:07:19.240><c> names</c><00:07:19.480><c> in</c><00:07:19.740><c> Judah's</c><00:07:20.180><c> life</c><00:07:20.379><c> here</c><00:07:21.040><c> begin</c><00:07:21.339><c> to</c><00:07:21.620><c> tell</c><00:07:21.740><c> a</c><00:07:21.879><c> very</c>

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.120

00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.439
that<00:07:24.379><c> Judah</c><00:07:24.600><c> actually</c><00:07:25.279><c> sought</c><00:07:25.540><c> after.</c>

00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:30.139
We<00:07:26.779><c> can</c><00:07:27.060><c> conjecture</c><00:07:27.579><c> somewhat</c><00:07:28.000><c> by</c><00:07:28.360><c> trying</c><00:07:28.620><c> to</c><00:07:28.839><c> piece</c><00:07:29.000><c> together</c><00:07:29.399><c> portions</c><00:07:29.800><c> of</c><00:07:29.980><c> the</c>

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.379
We<00:07:36.100><c> find</c><00:07:36.459><c> that</c><00:07:36.740><c> Judah's</c><00:07:37.040><c> goals</c><00:07:37.300><c> are</c><00:07:37.759><c> revealed</c><00:07:38.120><c> in</c><00:07:38.279><c> the</c><00:07:38.500><c> relationships</c><00:07:39.079><c> that</c>

he<00:07:39.560><c> develops.</c>

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:42.879
Isn't<00:07:40.819><c> this</c><00:07:41.000><c> the</c><00:07:41.199><c> counsel</c><00:07:41.420><c> that</c><00:07:41.600><c> we</c><00:07:41.720><c> hear</c><00:07:41.879><c> around</c><00:07:42.139><c> us</c><00:07:42.339><c> in</c><00:07:42.439><c> the</c><00:07:42.600><c> world?</c>

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:45.220
You<00:07:43.459><c> want</c><00:07:43.600><c> to</c><00:07:43.839><c> accomplish</c><00:07:44.199><c> something,</c><00:07:44.560><c> well</c><00:07:44.720><c> it's</c><00:07:44.819><c> all</c><00:07:45.040><c> about</c>

The<00:07:46.560><c> relationships</c><00:07:47.139><c> that</c><00:07:47.500><c> you</c><00:07:47.639><c> can</c><00:07:47.860><c> engender</c><00:07:48.180><c> for</c><00:07:48.420><c> yourself.</c>

00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.939

All<00:07:52.279><c> right,</c><00:07:52.360><c> I'm</c><00:07:52.560><c> going</c><00:07:52.579><c> to</c><00:07:52.579><c> be</c><00:07:52.779><c> trying</c><00:07:52.939><c> to</c><00:07:53.060><c> keep</c><00:07:53.180><c> an</c><00:07:53.300><c> eye</c><00:07:53.379><c> on</c>

00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.120
So<00:08:12.420><c> Judah</c><00:08:12.680><c> sees</c><00:08:12.939><c> fit</c><00:08:13.079><c> to</c><00:08:13.360><c> join</c><00:08:13.519><c> himself</c><00:08:14.060><c> to</c><00:08:14.259><c> the</c><00:08:14.459><c> royal</c><00:08:14.720><c> class</c>

00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:18.139

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.660
That's<00:08:18.459><c> what</c><00:08:18.560><c> he's</c><00:08:18.860><c> pursuing,</c><00:08:19.519><c> is</c><00:08:19.660><c> prominence</c><00:08:20.079><c> in</c><00:08:20.220><c> this</c><00:08:20.439><c> life.</c>

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.100

She<00:20:58.660><c> asks</c><00:20:58.900><c> for</c><00:20:59.160><c> a</c><00:20:59.359><c> pledge</c><00:20:59.579><c> of</c><00:20:59.779><c> his</c><00:21:00.039><c> signet,</c><00:21:00.900><c> his</c><00:21:01.160><c> bracelets,</c>

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.559
What's<00:21:06.920><c> the</c><00:21:07.079><c> significance</c><00:21:07.579><c> of</c><00:21:07.799><c> these</c><00:21:08.059><c> things?</c>

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.359
Well,<00:21:09.039><c> she</c><00:21:09.200><c> asked</c><00:21:09.420><c> for</c><00:21:09.640><c> the</c><00:21:09.940><c> signet</c><00:21:10.279><c> ring</c><00:21:10.559><c> and</c><00:21:10.700><c> the</c><00:21:11.019><c> string</c><00:21:11.180><c> by</c>

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.920
The<00:21:17.779><c> signet</c><00:21:18.140><c> ring</c><00:21:18.359><c> was</c><00:21:18.640><c> meant</c><00:21:18.940><c> to</c><00:21:19.539><c> stamp</c><00:21:19.819><c> your</c><00:21:20.259><c> authority</c>

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:26.180
And<00:21:23.420><c> so</c><00:21:23.640><c> Judah</c><00:21:24.140><c> is</c><00:21:24.539><c> stamping</c><00:21:24.900><c> his</c><00:21:25.299><c> authority,</c>

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:39.140
You<00:21:35.960><c> can</c><00:21:36.220><c> think</c><00:21:36.420><c> of</c><00:21:36.599><c> the</c><00:21:36.819><c> similarities</c><00:21:37.440><c> to</c><00:21:37.980><c> Esau,</c><00:21:38.579><c> can't</c><00:21:38.720><c> you?</c>

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:42.579
As<00:21:39.680><c> he</c><00:21:39.880><c> traded</c><00:21:40.099><c> in</c><00:21:40.380><c> his</c><00:21:40.599><c> birthright</c><00:21:41.180><c> for</c><00:21:41.740><c> a</c><00:21:41.920><c> bowl</c><00:21:42.059><c> of</c><00:21:42.359><c> soup,</c>

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.660
something<00:21:43.240><c> temporal</c><00:21:43.819><c> that</c><00:21:44.579><c> would</c><00:21:44.779><c> go</c><00:21:45.039><c> away</c><00:21:45.279><c> very</c><00:21:45.720><c> quickly.</c>

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:50.180
And<00:21:47.200><c> Judah,</c><00:21:47.420><c> in</c><00:21:47.619><c> like</c><00:21:47.819><c> fashion,</c><00:21:49.099><c> handing</c><00:21:49.359><c> over</c><00:21:49.660><c> items</c><00:21:49.940><c> of</c>

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:50.920
such<00:21:50.380><c> significance</c>

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:53.440
that<00:21:51.079><c> were</c><00:21:51.299><c> supposed</c><00:21:51.720><c> to</c><00:21:51.940><c> have</c><00:21:52.200><c> meaning</c><00:21:52.559><c> for</c><00:21:52.779><c> his</c><00:21:53.019><c> character,</c>

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:56.559
and<00:21:54.099><c> what</c><00:21:54.299><c> it</c><00:21:54.440><c> was</c><00:21:54.619><c> that</c><00:21:54.779><c> he</c><00:21:55.000><c> stood</c><00:21:55.200><c> for</c><00:21:55.460><c> as</c><00:21:55.660><c> a</c><00:21:55.779><c> leader,</c>

00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.240
he's<00:21:57.099><c> giving</c><00:21:57.279><c> over</c><00:21:57.579><c> to</c><00:21:57.759><c> this</c><00:21:57.980><c> woman</c><00:21:58.180><c> that</c><00:21:58.339><c> he</c><00:21:58.599><c> perceived</c><00:21:58.960><c> to</c><00:21:59.220><c> be</c><00:21:59.779><c> a</c>

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.500
strange<00:22:00.559><c> woman.</c>

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:06.200
Well,<00:22:02.559><c> shortly</c><00:22:02.559><c> thereafter,</c><00:22:03.859><c> Judah</c><00:22:04.180><c> sends</c><00:22:04.619><c> his</c><00:22:05.000><c> friend,</c><00:22:06.079><c> the</c>

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:08.180
Adelemite,<00:22:06.680><c> in</c><00:22:06.839><c> verse</c><00:22:07.140><c> 20.</c>

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.519
Why<00:22:08.420><c> wouldn't</c><00:22:08.640><c> Judah</c><00:22:08.920><c> just</c><00:22:09.200><c> go</c><00:22:09.380><c> himself?</c>

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.799
Well,<00:22:11.819><c> likely</c><00:22:12.119><c> because</c><00:22:12.420><c> of</c><00:22:12.599><c> the</c><00:22:12.819><c> embarrassment</c><00:22:13.240><c> that</c><00:22:13.480><c> he</c><00:22:13.579><c> was</c>

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:16.579
feeling<00:22:14.019><c> afterward</c><00:22:14.720><c> and</c><00:22:15.240><c> what</c><00:22:15.440><c> he</c><00:22:15.599><c> had</c><00:22:15.759><c> done.</c>

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:22.099
So<00:22:17.220><c> his</c><00:22:17.660><c> friend</c><00:22:18.140><c> of</c><00:22:18.420><c> the</c><00:22:18.619><c> world</c><00:22:19.259><c> will</c><00:22:19.740><c> help</c><00:22:19.920><c> to</c><00:22:20.140><c> cover</c><00:22:20.299><c> his</c><00:22:20.660><c> tracks</c><00:22:20.920><c> for</c><00:22:21.240><c> him.</c>

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:24.319
But<00:22:22.799><c> even</c><00:22:23.000><c> the</c><00:22:23.200><c> inhabitants</c><00:22:23.559><c> of</c><00:22:23.740><c> the</c><00:22:23.920><c> city</c><00:22:24.099><c> say,</c>

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.240
hey,<00:22:24.519><c> we're</c><00:22:24.779><c> not</c><00:22:24.980><c> involved</c><00:22:25.279><c> in</c><00:22:25.400><c> that</c><00:22:25.599><c> type</c><00:22:25.740><c> of</c><00:22:25.880><c> thing</c><00:22:26.000><c> around</c><00:22:26.240><c> here.</c>

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:30.059
There's<00:22:28.019><c> no</c><00:22:28.119><c> woman</c><00:22:28.319><c> like</c><00:22:28.579><c> that</c><00:22:28.740><c> around</c><00:22:28.940><c> here.</c>

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:31.519
And<00:22:30.599><c> so</c><00:22:30.720><c> what</c><00:22:30.859><c> does</c><00:22:31.099><c> Judah</c><00:22:31.259><c> say?</c>

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:35.980
Well,<00:22:31.740><c> Judah</c><00:22:31.960><c> says,</c><00:22:32.660><c> just</c><00:22:33.000><c> stop</c><00:22:33.220><c> looking</c><00:22:33.440><c> then,</c><00:22:34.440><c> lest</c><00:22:34.640><c> we</c><00:22:34.900><c> bring</c><00:22:35.299><c> shame</c><00:22:35.779><c> on</c>

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.819
ourselves,<00:22:37.339><c> right?</c>

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:42.400
That's<00:22:38.579><c> the</c><00:22:38.740><c> main</c><00:22:38.880><c> interest</c><00:22:39.240><c> in</c><00:22:39.420><c> verse</c><00:22:39.700><c> 23,</c><00:22:40.319><c> lest</c><00:22:40.680><c> we</c><00:22:41.000><c> be</c><00:22:41.299><c> shamed.</c>

00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:45.960
So<00:22:42.920><c> the</c><00:22:43.059><c> only</c><00:22:43.319><c> concern</c><00:22:43.799><c> that</c><00:22:44.099><c> Judah</c><00:22:44.359><c> had</c><00:22:44.759><c> was</c><00:22:45.339><c> the</c><00:22:45.660><c> appearance</c>

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.500
that<00:22:46.200><c> he</c><00:22:46.299><c> would</c><00:22:46.500><c> hold</c><00:22:46.740><c> before</c><00:22:47.140><c> other</c><00:22:47.420><c> people.</c>

00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:50.960
Never<00:22:48.779><c> mind</c><00:22:49.059><c> the</c><00:22:49.319><c> shame</c><00:22:49.500><c> that</c><00:22:49.680><c> he</c><00:22:49.980><c> should</c><00:22:50.119><c> have</c><00:22:50.339><c> felt</c><00:22:50.559><c> before</c>

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.119
God<00:22:51.500><c> at</c><00:22:51.880><c> having</c><00:22:52.079><c> done</c><00:22:52.319><c> the</c><00:22:52.519><c> wrong</c><00:22:52.740><c> thing.</c>

00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.500
The<00:22:53.720><c> shame</c><00:22:53.880><c> only</c><00:22:54.160><c> came</c><00:22:54.380><c> to</c><00:22:54.559><c> the</c><00:22:54.779><c> surface</c><00:22:55.099><c> when</c><00:22:55.299><c> other</c><00:22:55.619><c> people</c>

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:58.700
might<00:22:56.980><c> find</c><00:22:57.279><c> out</c><00:22:57.460><c> about</c><00:22:57.680><c> it.</c>

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:02.819
And<00:23:00.359><c> so</c><00:23:00.519><c> you</c><00:23:00.680><c> think</c><00:23:00.859><c> about</c><00:23:01.119><c> us</c><00:23:01.460><c> in</c><00:23:01.619><c> this</c><00:23:01.859><c> regard.</c>

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.059
Are<00:23:03.539><c> our</c><00:23:04.019><c> consciences</c><00:23:04.859><c> alive?</c>

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:09.259
Do<00:23:06.359><c> they</c><00:23:06.720><c> smite</c><00:23:07.059><c> us</c><00:23:07.279><c> when</c><00:23:07.420><c> we</c><00:23:07.619><c> do</c><00:23:07.819><c> the</c><00:23:08.019><c> wrong</c><00:23:08.279><c> thing?</c>

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:13.180
When<00:23:09.700><c> we</c><00:23:09.980><c> sin</c><00:23:10.200><c> before</c><00:23:10.599><c> God,</c><00:23:10.859><c> or</c><00:23:11.039><c> is</c><00:23:11.200><c> it</c><00:23:11.420><c> only</c><00:23:11.839><c> when</c><00:23:12.880><c> somebody</c>

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:15.099

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.599
