So<00:02:04.560><c> that's</c><00:02:04.920><c> really</c><00:02:05.180><c> nice,</c><00:02:05.519><c> and</c><00:02:05.719><c> it's</c><00:02:06.000><c> a</c><00:02:06.079><c> nice</c><00:02:06.260><c> feature</c><00:02:06.519><c> to</c><00:02:06.719><c> have.</c>

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.219
Now,<00:02:07.879><c> we</c><00:02:08.000><c> looked</c><00:02:08.159><c> yesterday</c><00:02:08.520><c> at</c><00:02:08.740><c> this</c><00:02:08.919><c> issue</c><00:02:09.219><c> when</c><00:02:09.400><c> Jacob</c><00:02:09.699><c> was</c><00:02:09.979><c> born,</c>

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.439
how<00:02:10.840><c> the</c><00:02:11.419><c> tendency</c><00:02:11.780><c> amongst</c><00:02:12.159><c> dads</c><00:02:12.560><c> and</c><00:02:12.740><c> moms</c><00:02:13.099><c> is</c><00:02:13.340><c> to</c><00:02:13.520><c> show</c><00:02:13.699><c> favoritism</c><00:02:14.300><c> in</c>

00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:15.360
a<00:02:14.580><c> family.</c>

00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:17.400
There's<00:02:15.900><c> good</c><00:02:16.060><c> and</c><00:02:16.199><c> bad</c><00:02:16.400><c> things</c><00:02:16.580><c> about</c><00:02:16.819><c> favoritism.</c>

00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.060
You<00:02:17.699><c> find</c><00:02:17.900><c> that</c><00:02:18.039><c> a</c><00:02:18.159><c> bit</c><00:02:18.280><c> with</c><00:02:18.620><c> Isaac,</c><00:02:19.159><c> when</c><00:02:19.800><c> he</c><00:02:20.039><c> was</c><00:02:20.240><c> born,</c><00:02:20.439><c> with</c><00:02:20.800><c> his</c>

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:22.159
brother<00:02:21.360><c> Ishmael.</c>

00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.659
I<00:02:22.319><c> don't</c><00:02:22.419><c> know</c><00:02:22.479><c> whether</c><00:02:22.580><c> you</c><00:02:22.580><c> remember,</c><00:02:23.139><c> but</c><00:02:23.199><c> when</c><00:02:23.840><c> God</c><00:02:24.039><c> talked</c><00:02:24.419><c> about</c><00:02:24.840><c> Ishmael</c>

00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:27.979
and<00:02:25.919><c> told</c><00:02:26.259><c> Abraham</c><00:02:26.639><c> that</c><00:02:26.800><c> he</c><00:02:26.900><c> would</c><00:02:27.039><c> have</c><00:02:27.199><c> another</c><00:02:27.439><c> son,</c><00:02:27.939><c> the</c>

00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:28.819
son<00:02:28.159><c> of</c><00:02:28.300><c> the</c><00:02:28.500><c> promise,</c>

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.680
you<00:02:28.960><c> know,</c><00:02:29.439><c> that</c><00:02:29.520><c> Abraham</c><00:02:29.879><c> pleaded</c><00:02:30.259><c> with</c><00:02:30.479><c> God,</c>

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:32.500
oh,<00:02:30.900><c> that</c><00:02:31.060><c> Ishmael</c><00:02:31.520><c> might</c><00:02:31.719><c> live</c><00:02:31.919><c> in</c><00:02:32.039><c> your</c><00:02:32.280><c> sight.</c>

00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.479
He<00:02:32.699><c> actually</c><00:02:33.039><c> was</c><00:02:33.300><c> pleading</c><00:02:33.560><c> for</c><00:02:33.759><c> his</c><00:02:33.939><c> son</c><00:02:34.080><c> Ishmael,</c>

00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.340
hoping<00:02:34.819><c> that</c><00:02:35.039><c> God</c><00:02:35.259><c> would</c><00:02:35.800><c> provide</c><00:02:36.139><c> a</c><00:02:36.280><c> way</c><00:02:36.379><c> for</c><00:02:36.620><c> Ishmael</c><00:02:36.979><c> to</c><00:02:37.139><c> be</c>

00:02:37.340 --> 00:02:39.020
a<00:02:37.460><c> part</c><00:02:37.699><c> of</c><00:02:38.159><c> the</c><00:02:38.159><c> promise.</c>

00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:41.000
But<00:02:39.219><c> that</c><00:02:39.340><c> wasn't</c><00:02:39.580><c> in</c><00:02:39.800><c> God's</c><00:02:40.280><c> plan.</c>

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.400
And<00:02:41.259><c> you</c><00:02:41.400><c> find</c><00:02:41.620><c> the</c><00:02:41.800><c> same</c><00:02:42.020><c> thing</c><00:02:42.259><c> when</c><00:02:42.560><c> Jacob</c><00:02:42.860><c> is</c><00:02:43.180><c> born.</c>

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:45.039
Jacob<00:02:43.960><c> comes</c><00:02:44.199><c> out</c><00:02:44.439><c> as</c><00:02:44.680><c> a</c><00:02:44.800><c> twin.</c>

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.020
He's<00:02:45.379><c> got</c><00:02:45.520><c> a</c><00:02:45.699><c> twin</c><00:02:45.860><c> brother,</c><00:02:46.500><c> and</c><00:02:46.500><c> he's</c><00:02:47.000><c> got</c><00:02:47.199><c> Esau</c><00:02:47.500><c> as</c><00:02:47.800><c> well.</c>

00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:51.500
And<00:02:48.419><c> you</c><00:02:48.560><c> find</c><00:02:48.919><c> that</c><00:02:49.099><c> in</c><00:02:49.159><c> this</c><00:02:49.419><c> case,</c><00:02:50.000><c> Isaac</c><00:02:50.099><c> loved</c><00:02:50.560><c> Esau</c><00:02:51.020><c> because</c><00:02:51.280><c> he</c>

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:52.120
hated<00:02:51.580><c> his</c><00:02:51.879><c> game,</c>

00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:54.139
and<00:02:52.379><c> Rebekah</c><00:02:52.780><c> loved</c><00:02:53.259><c> Jacob.</c>

00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.900
And<00:02:54.419><c> yet</c><00:02:54.580><c> Rebekah</c><00:02:55.080><c> knew,</c><00:02:55.680><c> you</c><00:02:55.699><c> know,</c><00:02:56.039><c> to</c><00:02:56.159><c> her</c><00:02:56.460><c> credit,</c>

00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:59.960
she<00:02:57.219><c> knew</c><00:02:57.659><c> that</c><00:02:57.900><c> she</c><00:02:58.039><c> had</c><00:02:58.219><c> been</c><00:02:58.460><c> told</c><00:02:58.819><c> that</c><00:02:59.620><c> Jacob,</c>

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.180
that<00:03:00.819><c> God</c><00:03:01.060><c> had</c><00:03:01.319><c> said</c><00:03:01.460><c> at</c><00:03:01.599><c> least</c><00:03:01.780><c> about</c><00:03:02.020><c> the</c><00:03:02.219><c> two</c><00:03:02.400><c> boys</c><00:03:02.680><c> when</c><00:03:02.860><c> they</c><00:03:03.000><c> were</c><00:03:03.139><c> in</c>

00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:03.580
her<00:03:03.419><c> womb,</c>

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:04.759
and<00:03:03.740><c> they</c><00:03:03.800><c> were</c><00:03:04.080><c> struggling</c><00:03:04.379><c> in</c><00:03:04.539><c> her</c><00:03:04.659><c> womb.</c>

00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:05.780
She<00:03:04.939><c> wondered,</c><00:03:05.340><c> like,</c><00:03:05.340><c> why?</c>

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:10.219
The<00:03:06.419><c> angel</c><00:03:06.620><c> told</c><00:03:07.180><c> Rebekah</c><00:03:07.840><c> and</c><00:03:08.099><c> said,</c><00:03:08.500><c> the</c><00:03:08.560><c> younger</c><00:03:08.960><c> will</c><00:03:09.360><c> serve</c><00:03:09.620><c> the</c><00:03:09.919><c> older.</c>

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.060
So<00:03:10.759><c> she</c><00:03:11.000><c> knew</c><00:03:11.199><c> there</c><00:03:11.419><c> was</c><00:03:11.659><c> something</c><00:03:11.979><c> special</c><00:03:12.479><c> about</c><00:03:12.840><c> the</c>

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:13.659
younger<00:03:13.280><c> boy.</c>

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.300
Probably<00:03:14.319><c> would</c><00:03:14.520><c> have</c><00:03:14.719><c> shared</c><00:03:14.900><c> that</c><00:03:15.099><c> with</c><00:03:15.280><c> Isaac,</c><00:03:15.780><c> and</c><00:03:15.960><c> who</c><00:03:16.099><c> knows?</c>

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:22.319
Maybe<00:03:16.560><c> Isaac</c><00:03:16.960><c> was</c><00:03:17.199><c> just</c><00:03:17.939><c> trying</c><00:03:18.099><c> to</c><00:03:18.360><c> favor</c><00:03:18.659><c> Esau,</c>

00:03:22.539 --> 00:03:25.099
hoping<00:03:22.659><c> that</c><00:03:23.039><c> God</c><00:03:23.259><c> would</c><00:03:23.500><c> provide</c><00:03:23.780><c> something</c><00:03:24.060><c> for</c><00:03:24.259><c> Esau</c><00:03:24.599><c> as</c><00:03:24.860><c> well.</c>

00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:28.259
But<00:03:25.500><c> at</c><00:03:25.620><c> least</c><00:03:25.780><c> the</c><00:03:25.919><c> Bible</c><00:03:26.139><c> tells</c><00:03:26.479><c> us</c><00:03:26.699><c> that</c><00:03:26.879><c> he</c><00:03:27.080><c> liked</c><00:03:27.419><c> his</c><00:03:27.800><c> game,</c><00:03:28.080><c> and</c>

00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:29.060
that's<00:03:28.500><c> what</c><00:03:28.659><c> he</c><00:03:28.879><c> did.</c>

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.219
So<00:03:29.620><c> it's</c><00:03:29.860><c> a</c><00:03:30.020><c> warning</c><00:03:30.159><c> in</c><00:03:30.520><c> families</c><00:03:30.879><c> to</c><00:03:31.060><c> be</c><00:03:31.259><c> careful</c><00:03:31.439><c> about</c><00:03:31.759><c> favoritism.</c>

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.259
But<00:03:32.879><c> I</c><00:03:33.080><c> think</c><00:03:33.199><c> for</c><00:03:33.379><c> all</c><00:03:33.500><c> of</c><00:03:33.680><c> you,</c><00:03:33.979><c> the</c><00:03:34.099><c> warning</c><00:03:34.319><c> for</c><00:03:34.520><c> us</c><00:03:34.719><c> is</c><00:03:34.960><c> that</c><00:03:35.120><c> if</c>

00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:37.280
you<00:03:35.520><c> happen</c><00:03:35.719><c> to</c><00:03:35.900><c> be</c><00:03:36.039><c> the</c><00:03:36.219><c> non</c><00:03:36.539><c>-favored</c><00:03:36.780><c> child,</c>

00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:38.860
you<00:03:37.879><c> don't</c><00:03:38.039><c> have</c><00:03:38.120><c> to</c><00:03:38.199><c> worry</c><00:03:38.379><c> about</c><00:03:38.620><c> that.</c>

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.419
You<00:03:39.000><c> can</c><00:03:39.319><c> still</c><00:03:39.460><c> get</c><00:03:39.639><c> on</c><00:03:39.759><c> with</c><00:03:40.000><c> life</c><00:03:40.280><c> and</c><00:03:40.599><c> still</c><00:03:40.879><c> move</c><00:03:41.120><c> on.</c>

00:03:41.419 --> 00:03:45.020
And<00:03:41.599><c> there's</c><00:03:41.800><c> a</c><00:03:41.900><c> lot</c><00:03:42.039><c> of</c><00:03:42.199><c> people</c><00:03:42.520><c> that</c><00:03:42.719><c> have</c><00:03:42.960><c> been</c><00:03:43.280><c> good</c><00:03:44.659><c> Bible</c>

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:46.740

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:48.780
even<00:03:47.020><c> though</c><00:03:47.199><c> they</c><00:03:47.360><c> weren't</c><00:03:47.539><c> necessarily</c><00:03:48.159><c> the</c><00:03:48.360><c> one</c><00:03:48.439><c> that</c><00:03:48.539><c> was</c>

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.319
because<00:03:50.360><c> it</c><00:03:50.479><c> does</c><00:03:50.740><c> create</c><00:03:51.039><c> rivalries</c><00:03:51.580><c> within</c><00:03:51.800><c> the</c><00:03:52.020><c> family.</c>

00:03:52.699 --> 00:03:56.460
And<00:03:52.919><c> it</c><00:03:53.080><c> seems</c><00:03:53.319><c> as</c><00:03:53.539><c> though</c><00:03:53.719><c> Jacob</c><00:03:54.060><c> grew</c><00:03:54.340><c> up</c><00:03:54.520><c> with</c><00:03:54.699><c> this</c><00:03:55.000><c> concept</c><00:03:55.439><c> of,</c><00:03:55.719><c> like,</c><00:03:56.060><c> scheming</c><00:03:56.300><c> to</c>

00:03:57.300 --> 00:04:00.460
And<00:03:57.400><c> when</c><00:03:57.479><c> you</c><00:03:57.539><c> look</c><00:03:57.680><c> at</c><00:03:57.840><c> Jacob's</c><00:03:58.340><c> life,</c><00:03:58.520><c> he's</c><00:03:58.759><c> basically</c><00:03:59.280><c> Jacob</c><00:03:59.819><c> the</c><00:04:00.099><c> schemer.</c>

00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.699
He's<00:04:01.000><c> the</c><00:04:01.099><c> kind</c><00:04:01.219><c> of</c><00:04:01.400><c> person</c><00:04:01.719><c> who</c><00:04:02.039><c> analyzed</c><00:04:02.520><c> the</c><00:04:02.819><c> situation</c><00:04:03.259><c> in</c><00:04:03.539><c> life,</c>

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.960
and<00:04:06.939><c> I</c><00:04:07.060><c> might</c><00:04:07.259><c> not</c><00:04:07.479><c> be</c><00:04:07.659><c> the</c><00:04:08.000><c> best</c><00:04:08.360><c> one</c><00:04:08.539><c> at</c><00:04:08.740><c> hunting</c><00:04:09.020><c> and</c><00:04:09.199><c> all</c><00:04:09.360><c> that</c><00:04:09.500><c> kind</c><00:04:09.680><c> of</c><00:04:09.840><c> stuff,</c>

00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.759
but<00:04:10.379><c> I</c><00:04:10.819><c> can</c><00:04:11.120><c> figure</c><00:04:11.379><c> out</c><00:04:11.659><c> how</c><00:04:11.840><c> to</c><00:04:11.939><c> get</c><00:04:12.060><c> what</c><00:04:12.240><c> I</c><00:04:12.460><c> want</c><00:04:12.780><c> by</c><00:04:13.460><c> doing</c>

it<00:04:14.039><c> my</c><00:04:14.300><c> way.</c>

00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:17.339
And<00:04:14.719><c> I'll</c><00:04:15.120><c> analyze</c><00:04:15.599><c> this,</c><00:04:16.019><c> and</c><00:04:16.079><c> I'll</c><00:04:16.240><c> come</c><00:04:16.459><c> up</c><00:04:16.579><c> with</c><00:04:16.699><c> a</c><00:04:17.000><c> plan,</c>

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.899
It<00:04:22.139><c> might</c><00:04:22.360><c> involve</c><00:04:22.680><c> some</c><00:04:22.920><c> deceit,</c><00:04:23.459><c> a</c><00:04:23.600><c> little</c><00:04:23.759><c> bit</c><00:04:24.000><c> of</c><00:04:24.100><c> trickery</c><00:04:24.420><c> and</c><00:04:24.519><c> all</c><00:04:24.720><c> that,</c>

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.319

00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:31.639
Now,<00:04:28.660><c> when</c><00:04:28.800><c> you</c><00:04:28.879><c> think</c><00:04:29.060><c> about</c><00:04:29.379><c> what</c><00:04:30.120><c> Jacob</c><00:04:30.720><c> has</c><00:04:31.000><c> to</c><00:04:31.180><c> do,</c><00:04:31.420><c> God</c>

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.360

00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.740

the<00:04:38.259><c> events</c><00:04:38.459><c> of</c><00:04:38.720><c> life.</c>

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:41.319
And<00:04:39.420><c> it's</c><00:04:39.639><c> a</c><00:04:39.740><c> good</c><00:04:39.860><c> lesson</c><00:04:40.120><c> to</c><00:04:40.300><c> ourselves</c><00:04:40.740><c> because</c><00:04:41.079><c> that's</c>

00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.160
what<00:04:41.480><c> God</c><00:04:41.680><c> does</c><00:04:41.920><c> with</c><00:04:42.120><c> our</c><00:04:42.319><c> weaknesses.</c>

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.660

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:50.139

So<00:06:52.500><c> we've</c><00:06:53.100><c> got</c><00:06:53.139><c> to</c><00:06:53.240><c> do</c><00:06:53.399><c> something.</c>

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.959
That's<00:06:59.720><c> what</c><00:06:59.939><c> your</c><00:07:00.160><c> father</c><00:07:00.439><c> had</c><00:07:00.759><c> said.</c>

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.720
So<00:07:01.199><c> now,</c><00:07:02.060><c> therefore,</c><00:07:02.379><c> my</c><00:07:02.519><c> son,</c><00:07:02.959><c> obey</c><00:07:03.139><c> my</c><00:07:03.459><c> voice</c>

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:08.319
And<00:07:07.540><c> you</c><00:07:07.620><c> know</c><00:07:07.759><c> the</c><00:07:08.000><c> story.</c>

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.980
So<00:07:08.879><c> Jacob</c><00:07:09.180><c> goes</c><00:07:09.399><c> out,</c><00:07:10.180><c> and</c><00:07:10.199><c> he's</c><00:07:10.579><c> got</c><00:07:10.759><c> food.</c>

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:13.839
He<00:07:12.199><c> goes</c><00:07:12.420><c> in,</c><00:07:12.680><c> he</c><00:07:12.779><c> puts</c><00:07:12.980><c> the</c><00:07:13.160><c> hair</c><00:07:13.279><c> on</c><00:07:13.399><c> his</c><00:07:13.680><c> arms</c>

00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:18.079
He<00:07:15.540><c> probably</c><00:07:15.899><c> made</c><00:07:16.240><c> himself</c><00:07:16.600><c> smell</c><00:07:16.899><c> like</c><00:07:17.199><c> animals</c><00:07:17.480><c> really</c><00:07:17.839><c> well,</c>

00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.379
so<00:07:18.259><c> he</c><00:07:18.480><c> sort</c><00:07:18.600><c> of</c><00:07:18.800><c> smelled</c><00:07:18.939><c> like</c><00:07:19.339><c> Esau</c><00:07:19.459><c> a</c><00:07:19.579><c> little</c><00:07:19.819><c> bit</c><00:07:19.980><c> at</c><00:07:20.120><c> least,</c>

00:07:20.540 --> 00:07:22.379
and<00:07:20.759><c> he</c><00:07:20.939><c> goes</c><00:07:21.180><c> in</c><00:07:21.439><c> to</c><00:07:21.620><c> trick</c><00:07:21.800><c> his</c><00:07:22.100><c> dad.</c>

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.339
So<00:07:23.120><c> in</c><00:07:23.220><c> verse</c><00:07:23.439><c> 19,</c><00:07:24.180><c> Jacob</c><00:07:24.399><c> says</c><00:07:24.660><c> to</c><00:07:24.839><c> his</c><00:07:25.000><c> father,</c>

00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:27.300
I<00:07:25.720><c> am</c><00:07:25.920><c> Esau,</c><00:07:26.560><c> your</c><00:07:26.759><c> firstborn.</c>

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:29.300
Now,<00:07:27.959><c> that</c><00:07:28.079><c> wasn't</c><00:07:28.399><c> true,</c><00:07:29.019><c> right?</c>

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.540
So<00:07:29.459><c> you</c><00:07:29.560><c> know</c><00:07:29.740><c> that</c><00:07:29.879><c> this</c><00:07:30.120><c> is</c><00:07:30.399><c> covered</c><00:07:30.620><c> in</c><00:07:30.839><c> deceit.</c>

00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.959
Now,<00:07:32.220><c> it</c><00:07:32.459><c> is</c><00:07:32.779><c> true</c><00:07:33.259><c> that</c><00:07:33.480><c> when</c><00:07:33.639><c> you</c><00:07:33.779><c> look</c><00:07:33.920><c> at</c><00:07:34.019><c> the</c><00:07:34.180><c> whole</c><00:07:34.439><c> story,</c>

00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:37.360
Rebekah<00:07:35.560><c> may</c><00:07:35.779><c> have</c><00:07:36.060><c> known</c><00:07:36.300><c> more</c><00:07:36.740><c> than</c><00:07:37.000><c> Isaac.</c>

00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:39.680
She<00:07:37.740><c> may</c><00:07:38.000><c> have</c><00:07:38.259><c> understood</c><00:07:38.680><c> better</c><00:07:39.019><c> than</c><00:07:39.220><c> Isaac</c>

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.800
that<00:07:39.939><c> Jacob</c><00:07:40.379><c> was</c><00:07:40.819><c> the</c><00:07:41.079><c> promised</c><00:07:41.379><c> son.</c>

00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:43.980
So<00:07:42.519><c> Rebekah's</c><00:07:42.939><c> got</c><00:07:43.180><c> some</c><00:07:43.420><c> motive</c><00:07:43.639><c> here,</c>

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.360
I<00:07:44.139><c> think</c><00:07:44.339><c> maybe</c><00:07:44.639><c> a</c><00:07:44.720><c> little</c><00:07:44.959><c> bit</c><00:07:45.160><c> better</c>

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.019
than<00:07:45.600><c> even</c><00:07:45.939><c> Jacob</c><00:07:46.199><c> did</c><00:07:46.439><c> at</c><00:07:46.600><c> this</c><00:07:46.800><c> point.</c>

00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.100
But<00:07:47.480><c> Jacob's</c><00:07:47.899><c> just</c><00:07:48.079><c> going</c><00:07:48.240><c> along</c><00:07:48.579><c> learning</c><00:07:48.899><c> that</c>

00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:50.220
here's<00:07:49.300><c> how</c><00:07:49.480><c> you</c><00:07:49.600><c> get</c><00:07:49.740><c> through</c><00:07:49.959><c> life.</c>

You<00:07:51.879><c> cheat,</c><00:07:52.379><c> you</c><00:07:52.600><c> deceive</c><00:07:52.800><c> people,</c>

00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.600
and<00:07:53.680><c> this</c><00:07:53.860><c> is</c><00:07:54.000><c> how</c><00:07:54.139><c> you</c><00:07:54.279><c> get</c><00:07:54.399><c> what</c><00:07:54.540><c> you</c><00:07:54.779><c> want.</c>

00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.019
Have<00:07:55.800><c> you</c><00:07:55.819><c> ever</c><00:07:56.000><c> met</c><00:07:56.139><c> any</c><00:07:56.339><c> people</c><00:07:56.560><c> in</c><00:07:56.779><c> school</c><00:07:56.939><c> like</c><00:07:57.199><c> that?</c>

00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.779

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:07.920
They<00:08:06.759><c> may</c><00:08:06.920><c> have</c><00:08:07.079><c> learned</c><00:08:07.240><c> from</c><00:08:07.360><c> their</c><00:08:07.600><c> parents</c>

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.160

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:36.840
Anyways,<00:08:35.220><c> but</c><00:08:35.399><c> people</c><00:08:35.639><c> still</c><00:08:35.899><c> try</c><00:08:36.179><c> it.</c>

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.679
Generation<00:08:37.360><c> goes,</c><00:08:37.840><c> generation</c><00:08:38.220><c> comes,</c>

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:40.399

oh<00:08:40.639><c> yeah,</c><00:08:40.720><c> we</c><00:08:40.820><c> can</c><00:08:40.940><c> get</c><00:08:41.100><c> away</c><00:08:41.240><c> with</c><00:08:41.440><c> this.</c>

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:43.720
That's<00:08:42.940><c> the</c><00:08:43.039><c> way</c><00:08:43.120><c> life</c><00:08:43.340><c> goes.</c>

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:45.860
Of<00:08:44.340><c> course,</c><00:08:44.440><c> you</c><00:08:44.559><c> always</c><00:08:44.759><c> had</c><00:08:44.879><c> the</c><00:08:45.080><c> class</c><00:08:45.379><c> goofballs</c>

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.240
that<00:08:46.080><c> figured</c><00:08:46.259><c> the</c><00:08:46.620><c> strategy</c><00:08:47.039><c> was</c><00:08:47.299><c> to</c><00:08:47.460><c> get</c><00:08:47.559><c> the</c><00:08:47.740><c> teacher</c><00:08:47.960><c> off</c>

the<00:08:48.460><c> track</c>

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.860
so<00:08:49.399><c> that</c><00:08:49.620><c> if</c><00:08:49.700><c> you</c><00:08:49.820><c> could</c><00:08:49.960><c> get</c><00:08:50.100><c> them</c><00:08:50.259><c> off</c><00:08:50.440><c> the</c><00:08:50.679><c> track,</c>

00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:51.980
you<00:08:50.960><c> could</c><00:08:51.120><c> get</c><00:08:51.279><c> through</c><00:08:51.440><c> the</c><00:08:51.519><c> whole</c><00:08:51.740><c> day</c>

00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:53.200
and<00:08:52.120><c> not</c><00:08:52.320><c> get</c><00:08:52.460><c> the</c><00:08:52.639><c> assignment</c><00:08:52.899><c> done.</c>

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.159
There's<00:08:53.940><c> all</c><00:08:54.159><c> those</c><00:08:54.379><c> schemer</c><00:08:54.679><c> people</c><00:08:54.960><c> that</c><00:08:55.159><c> are</c><00:08:55.220><c> out</c><00:08:55.379><c> there.</c>

00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.139
So<00:08:56.580><c> life</c><00:08:56.759><c> is</c><00:08:57.019><c> full</c><00:08:57.220><c> of</c><00:08:57.460><c> schemers.</c>

00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:00.159
Anyways,<00:08:58.759><c> as</c><00:08:59.039><c> you're</c><00:08:59.220><c> going</c><00:08:59.460><c> along</c><00:08:59.759><c> through</c><00:08:59.980><c> here,</c>

00:09:05.059 --> 00:09:07.399
and<00:09:05.200><c> it</c><00:09:05.279><c> looks</c><00:09:05.580><c> like</c><00:09:05.860><c> things</c><00:09:06.200><c> are</c><00:09:06.399><c> going</c><00:09:06.500><c> to</c><00:09:06.600><c> go</c><00:09:06.740><c> just</c><00:09:07.080><c> fine.</c>

00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.600

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.259
Now<00:09:19.320><c> Esau</c><00:09:19.779><c> comes</c><00:09:20.019><c> in,</c>

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:22.740

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:45.860
I<00:09:44.279><c> ate</c><00:09:44.500><c> all</c><00:09:44.740><c> of</c><00:09:44.820><c> it</c><00:09:44.919><c> before</c><00:09:45.240><c> you</c><00:09:45.500><c> came,</c>

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:49.559
And<00:09:48.000><c> it's</c><00:09:48.200><c> almost</c><00:09:48.360><c> like</c><00:09:48.700><c> in</c><00:09:48.980><c> New</c><00:09:49.100><c> King</c><00:09:49.299><c> James,</c>

I<00:09:53.600><c> blessed</c><00:09:53.879><c> him.</c>

00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.720
And<00:09:55.679><c> he</c><00:09:56.000><c> shall</c><00:09:56.159><c> be</c><00:09:56.379><c> blessed.</c>

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:59.840
And<00:09:57.360><c> maybe</c><00:09:57.600><c> the</c><00:09:57.799><c> light</c><00:09:57.940><c> turned</c><00:09:58.259><c> on</c><00:09:58.580><c> for</c><00:09:58.799><c> his</c><00:09:59.039><c> dad</c><00:09:59.200><c> at</c><00:09:59.399><c> that</c><00:09:59.639><c> point,</c>

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:00.960
and<00:10:00.059><c> he</c><00:10:00.179><c> finally</c><00:10:00.519><c> realized,</c>

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.820

00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.659
and<00:10:03.279><c> he</c><00:10:03.500><c> realized</c><00:10:03.840><c> that</c><00:10:04.080><c> in</c><00:10:04.299><c> God's</c><00:10:04.860><c> scheme</c><00:10:05.100><c> of</c><00:10:05.360><c> things,</c>

00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:06.600

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.500
And<00:10:08.480><c> he</c><00:10:08.539><c> knew</c><00:10:08.740><c> that.</c>

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:11.379
He<00:10:09.500><c> knew</c><00:10:09.500><c> that</c><00:10:09.600><c> Jacob</c><00:10:09.960><c> was</c><00:10:10.299><c> the</c><00:10:10.460><c> son</c><00:10:10.679><c> of</c><00:10:10.840><c> the</c><00:10:11.000><c> promise,</c>

00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:12.700
and<00:10:11.840><c> he</c><00:10:12.059><c> finally</c><00:10:12.399><c> realized,</c>

00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:14.580
oh,<00:10:13.379><c> yeah,</c><00:10:13.639><c> he</c><00:10:13.899><c> shall</c><00:10:14.059><c> be</c><00:10:14.299><c> blessed.</c>

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:16.840
But<00:10:15.159><c> Esau</c><00:10:15.460><c> hears</c><00:10:15.740><c> the</c><00:10:15.940><c> words</c><00:10:16.240><c> of</c><00:10:16.399><c> his</c><00:10:16.559><c> father.</c>

00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:19.159
He<00:10:17.080><c> cries</c><00:10:17.440><c> with</c><00:10:17.639><c> an</c><00:10:17.840><c> exceeding</c><00:10:18.259><c> great</c><00:10:18.500><c> and</c><00:10:18.659><c> bitter</c><00:10:18.840><c> cry,</c>

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.480
even<00:10:21.259><c> me</c><00:10:21.559><c> also,</c><00:10:21.919><c> my</c><00:10:22.120><c> father.</c>

00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:25.200
And<00:10:23.080><c> he</c><00:10:23.200><c> said,</c><00:10:23.500><c> well,</c><00:10:23.700><c> your</c><00:10:23.840><c> brother</c><00:10:24.059><c> came</c><00:10:24.379><c> with</c><00:10:24.639><c> deceit</c>

00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.659
and<00:10:25.440><c> has</c><00:10:25.700><c> taken</c><00:10:25.919><c> away</c><00:10:26.159><c> your</c><00:10:26.399><c> blessing.</c>

00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:28.679
So<00:10:27.120><c> the</c><00:10:27.559><c> motive</c><00:10:27.940><c> was</c><00:10:28.200><c> not</c><00:10:28.480><c> right.</c>

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.879
He<00:10:28.840><c> came</c><00:10:29.100><c> in</c><00:10:29.320><c> with</c><00:10:29.500><c> deceit.</c>

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:30.740
It<00:10:29.960><c> wasn't</c><00:10:30.259><c> up</c><00:10:30.539><c> front.</c>

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:33.519
And<00:10:31.340><c> Esau</c><00:10:31.639><c> said,</c><00:10:32.139><c> oh,</c><00:10:32.220><c> is</c><00:10:32.279><c> he</c><00:10:32.440><c> not</c><00:10:32.600><c> rightly</c><00:10:32.860><c> named</c><00:10:33.120><c> Jacob,</c>

00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:34.820
the<00:10:34.200><c> supplanter?</c>

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:35.940
That's<00:10:35.299><c> what</c><00:10:35.460><c> he</c><00:10:35.620><c> does.</c>

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:37.759
He<00:10:36.059><c> was</c><00:10:36.360><c> the</c><00:10:36.559><c> schemer</c><00:10:36.960><c>-supplanter,</c>

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.960
for<00:10:38.019><c> he</c><00:10:38.159><c> has</c><00:10:38.379><c> supplanted</c><00:10:38.799><c> me</c><00:10:39.059><c> these</c><00:10:39.360><c> two</c><00:10:39.620><c> times.</c>

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:41.240
He<00:10:40.139><c> took</c><00:10:40.340><c> away</c><00:10:40.539><c> my</c><00:10:40.840><c> birthright,</c>

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.480
and<00:10:41.419><c> now,</c><00:10:41.720><c> look,</c><00:10:41.799><c> he's</c><00:10:42.039><c> taken</c><00:10:42.200><c> away</c><00:10:42.399><c> my</c><00:10:42.659><c> blessing.</c>

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.399
And<00:10:43.700><c> this</c><00:10:43.840><c> is</c><00:10:44.000><c> the</c><00:10:44.080><c> way</c><00:10:44.240><c> Esau</c><00:10:44.580><c> felt.</c>

00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:47.019
Now,<00:10:45.879><c> for</c><00:10:46.100><c> all</c><00:10:46.240><c> of</c><00:10:46.320><c> us</c><00:10:46.500><c> that</c><00:10:46.580><c> are</c><00:10:46.659><c> sitting</c><00:10:46.840><c> here,</c>

00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:48.539
I<00:10:47.100><c> think</c><00:10:47.259><c> what</c><00:10:47.379><c> you</c><00:10:47.620><c> learn</c><00:10:47.740><c> from</c><00:10:47.919><c> this</c><00:10:48.139><c> kind</c><00:10:48.299><c> of</c><00:10:48.419><c> thing</c>

00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:50.340
is<00:10:48.720><c> that</c><00:10:48.899><c> the</c><00:10:49.179><c> consequences</c><00:10:49.600><c> of</c><00:10:49.840><c> all</c><00:10:50.019><c> of</c><00:10:50.159><c> this,</c>

00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.440
when<00:10:50.500><c> you</c><00:10:50.639><c> look</c><00:10:50.799><c> at</c><00:10:50.960><c> the</c><00:10:51.139><c> scheming,</c>

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.940
you<00:10:51.679><c> look</c><00:10:51.860><c> at</c><00:10:52.000><c> the</c><00:10:52.200><c> plan,</c><00:10:52.460><c> you</c><00:10:52.580><c> just</c><00:10:52.679><c> figure</c><00:10:52.799><c> out,</c>

00:10:53.059 --> 00:10:54.240
well,<00:10:53.059><c> did</c><00:10:53.159><c> it</c><00:10:53.360><c> work?</c>

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:56.179
Did<00:10:55.000><c> it</c><00:10:55.220><c> work?</c>

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:59.759
If<00:10:56.639><c> the</c><00:10:56.840><c> goal</c><00:10:57.139><c> was</c><00:10:57.559><c> for</c><00:10:57.799><c> making</c><00:10:58.039><c> sure</c><00:10:58.360><c> that</c><00:10:58.639><c> Jacob</c><00:10:58.919><c> got</c><00:10:59.200><c> the</c><00:10:59.419><c> blessing,</c>

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.139
did<00:11:00.120><c> the</c><00:11:00.539><c> plan</c><00:11:00.799><c> work?</c>

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:02.620
Sure,<00:11:01.799><c> the</c><00:11:01.919><c> plan</c><00:11:02.179><c> works.</c>

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:05.539
But<00:11:03.080><c> when</c><00:11:03.220><c> you</c><00:11:03.320><c> look</c><00:11:03.500><c> at</c><00:11:03.639><c> it</c><00:11:03.759><c> in</c><00:11:03.840><c> the</c><00:11:04.080><c> whole</c><00:11:04.419><c> overwhelming,</c>

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.460
the<00:11:06.019><c> whole</c><00:11:06.360><c> big</c><00:11:06.620><c> game</c><00:11:06.840><c> plan</c><00:11:07.019><c> of</c><00:11:07.240><c> things,</c>

00:11:07.860 --> 00:11:09.120
you<00:11:08.080><c> look</c><00:11:08.220><c> at</c><00:11:08.340><c> the</c><00:11:08.600><c> consequences.</c>

00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:10.299
Now,<00:11:09.519><c> look</c><00:11:09.659><c> what</c><00:11:09.899><c> happens.</c>

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.580
You<00:11:10.679><c> get</c><00:11:10.879><c> down</c><00:11:11.019><c> to</c><00:11:11.139><c> verse</c><00:11:11.360><c> 41.</c>

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:15.940
So<00:11:12.820><c> Esau</c><00:11:13.500><c> hated</c><00:11:14.059><c> Jacob</c><00:11:14.700><c> because</c><00:11:15.259><c> of</c><00:11:15.440><c> the</c><00:11:15.600><c> blessing</c>

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:17.559
with<00:11:16.399><c> which</c><00:11:16.659><c> his</c><00:11:16.820><c> father</c><00:11:17.080><c> blessed</c><00:11:17.360><c> him.</c>

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.019
And<00:11:17.759><c> Esau</c><00:11:18.120><c> said</c><00:11:18.340><c> in</c><00:11:18.480><c> his</c><00:11:18.679><c> heart,</c>

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.460
the<00:11:19.379><c> days</c><00:11:19.639><c> are</c><00:11:19.860><c> morning,</c><00:11:20.240><c> when</c><00:11:20.399><c> they're</c><00:11:20.720><c> over,</c>

00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.740
I'll<00:11:21.960><c> kill</c><00:11:22.220><c> my</c><00:11:22.580><c> brother</c><00:11:22.860><c> Jacob.</c>

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.139
So<00:11:24.120><c> this</c><00:11:24.539><c> is</c><00:11:24.740><c> what</c><00:11:25.019><c> scheming</c><00:11:25.299><c> gets</c><00:11:25.500><c> us</c><00:11:25.740><c> in</c><00:11:25.899><c> life.</c>

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:27.700
What<00:11:26.740><c> scheming</c><00:11:27.059><c> is</c><00:11:27.220><c> all</c><00:11:27.440><c> about,</c>

00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:29.840
and<00:11:27.820><c> what</c><00:11:27.820><c> you</c><00:11:28.039><c> used</c><00:11:28.299><c> to</c><00:11:28.580><c> see</c><00:11:28.860><c> when</c><00:11:29.159><c> you</c><00:11:29.259><c> go</c><00:11:29.419><c> through</c><00:11:29.620><c> life</c>

00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:30.360
like<00:11:30.120><c> this</c>

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.480
is<00:11:30.559><c> that</c><00:11:30.679><c> you</c><00:11:30.820><c> have</c><00:11:30.960><c> very</c><00:11:31.500><c> short</c><00:11:31.759><c>-term</c><00:11:32.019><c> goals.</c>

00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.059
Your<00:11:32.980><c> goal</c><00:11:33.220><c> is</c><00:11:33.399><c> just</c><00:11:33.600><c> for</c><00:11:33.759><c> the</c><00:11:33.879><c> moment.</c>

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.399
I've<00:11:34.379><c> got</c><00:11:34.440><c> to</c><00:11:34.559><c> get</c><00:11:34.659><c> to</c><00:11:34.840><c> this</c><00:11:35.139><c> point.</c>

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.039
And<00:11:35.879><c> so</c><00:11:36.000><c> we</c><00:11:36.279><c> scheme</c><00:11:36.539><c> our</c><00:11:36.700><c> way</c><00:11:36.899><c> through.</c>

00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.360
We<00:11:37.240><c> get</c><00:11:37.440><c> to</c><00:11:37.639><c> that</c><00:11:37.860><c> point,</c><00:11:38.360><c> and</c><00:11:38.519><c> then</c><00:11:38.860><c> after</c><00:11:39.120><c> that,</c>

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.980
we<00:11:39.460><c> don't</c><00:11:39.659><c> really</c><00:11:39.879><c> worry</c><00:11:40.059><c> about</c><00:11:40.279><c> the</c><00:11:40.580><c> consequences</c>

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:42.659
that<00:11:41.159><c> are</c><00:11:41.279><c> going</c><00:11:41.379><c> to</c><00:11:41.500><c> come</c><00:11:41.639><c> later</c><00:11:41.860><c> on</c><00:11:42.059><c> down</c><00:11:42.259><c> the</c><00:11:42.399><c> line.</c>

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:44.899
And<00:11:43.299><c> in</c><00:11:43.399><c> this</c><00:11:43.620><c> case,</c><00:11:43.980><c> the</c><00:11:44.240><c> consequences</c><00:11:44.580><c> are,</c>

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:46.460
now<00:11:45.159><c> that</c><00:11:45.320><c> he's</c><00:11:45.700><c> split</c><00:11:45.840><c> from</c><00:11:46.039><c> his</c><00:11:46.279><c> brother,</c>

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.799
his<00:11:46.679><c> brother</c><00:11:46.919><c> wants</c><00:11:47.179><c> to</c><00:11:47.440><c> kill</c><00:11:47.600><c> him,</c>

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:49.779
and<00:11:47.980><c> now</c><00:11:48.220><c> Jacob's</c><00:11:48.740><c> got</c><00:11:48.879><c> a</c><00:11:49.159><c> family</c><00:11:49.460><c> member</c>

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:51.960

This<00:11:52.860><c> fellow</c><00:11:53.059><c> wants</c><00:11:53.279><c> to</c><00:11:53.500><c> kill</c><00:11:53.620><c> him.</c>

00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:56.120
What<00:11:54.399><c> a</c><00:11:54.860><c> difference</c><00:11:55.220><c> that</c><00:11:55.399><c> we're</c><00:11:55.580><c> going</c><00:11:55.659><c> to</c><00:11:55.740><c> look</c><00:11:55.940><c> at</c>

in<00:11:56.279><c> the</c><00:11:56.440><c> exhortation</c><00:11:56.860><c> with</c><00:11:57.059><c> Joseph.</c>

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.519
He<00:11:57.600><c> has</c><00:11:57.759><c> a</c><00:11:57.940><c> whole</c><00:11:58.200><c> different</c><00:11:58.600><c> approach</c><00:11:58.960><c> to</c><00:11:59.200><c> life.</c>

And<00:12:00.200><c> Joseph's</c><00:12:00.820><c> plan</c><00:12:01.080><c> is</c><00:12:01.340><c> to</c><00:12:01.580><c> save</c><00:12:01.799><c> people,</c>

00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.919
how<00:12:06.240><c> they</c><00:12:06.399><c> can</c><00:12:06.580><c> make</c><00:12:06.840><c> sure</c><00:12:07.039><c> that</c><00:12:07.379><c> the</c><00:12:07.600><c> blessing</c>

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.580
goes<00:12:08.340><c> through</c><00:12:08.559><c> to</c><00:12:08.779><c> Jacob.</c>

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.100
And<00:12:09.980><c> I</c><00:12:10.440><c> really</c><00:12:10.740><c> think</c><00:12:10.879><c> maybe</c><00:12:11.240><c> Rebecca</c><00:12:11.539><c> had</c><00:12:11.759><c> a</c><00:12:11.899><c> little</c>

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.799

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.980
I'm<00:12:13.940><c> not</c><00:12:14.100><c> really</c><00:12:14.360><c> sure</c><00:12:14.519><c> at</c><00:12:14.659><c> this</c><00:12:14.840><c> point</c><00:12:15.000><c> how</c><00:12:15.179><c> much</c><00:12:15.379><c> he</c><00:12:15.580><c> understood</c>

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:18.120
about<00:12:16.379><c> the</c><00:12:16.980><c> promise</c><00:12:17.320><c> that</c><00:12:17.519><c> God</c><00:12:17.639><c> had</c><00:12:17.860><c> made.</c>

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:19.799
But<00:12:18.779><c> in</c><00:12:19.000><c> any</c><00:12:19.159><c> way,</c><00:12:19.259><c> you</c><00:12:19.360><c> can</c><00:12:19.639><c> see</c>

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.379
the<00:12:19.940><c> way</c><00:12:20.080><c> it's</c><00:12:20.299><c> read</c><00:12:20.480><c> by</c><00:12:20.700><c> the</c><00:12:20.899><c> people</c><00:12:21.159><c> is</c>

00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:23.480
this<00:12:21.580><c> is</c><00:12:21.759><c> deceit,</c><00:12:22.679><c> you</c><00:12:22.840><c> are</c><00:12:23.039><c> lying,</c>

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:25.320
you<00:12:23.840><c> are</c><00:12:24.019><c> cheating</c><00:12:24.299><c> in</c><00:12:24.559><c> a</c><00:12:24.679><c> sense,</c><00:12:25.000><c> and</c><00:12:25.120><c> now</c>

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.639
the<00:12:25.600><c> feeling</c><00:12:25.840><c> amongst</c><00:12:26.179><c> the</c><00:12:26.460><c> people</c><00:12:26.700><c> that</c><00:12:26.879><c> are</c><00:12:27.000><c> on</c><00:12:27.120><c> the</c><00:12:27.200><c> other</c><00:12:27.460><c> side</c>

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.259
of<00:12:27.740><c> it</c><00:12:27.940><c> is,</c><00:12:28.500><c> I</c><00:12:28.580><c> want</c><00:12:28.759><c> to</c><00:12:28.919><c> kill</c><00:12:29.080><c> you.</c>

00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:31.100
I'm<00:12:29.440><c> going</c><00:12:29.500><c> to</c><00:12:29.519><c> get</c><00:12:29.720><c> back</c><00:12:29.919><c> at</c><00:12:30.039><c> you.</c><00:12:30.259><c> They</c><00:12:30.419><c> want</c><00:12:30.620><c> vengeance</c>

00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:32.940
because<00:12:31.500><c> of</c><00:12:31.620><c> how</c><00:12:31.759><c> they've</c><00:12:31.980><c> been</c><00:12:32.179><c> treated.</c>

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.139
So<00:12:33.220><c> this</c><00:12:33.440><c> is</c><00:12:33.759><c> not</c><00:12:34.080><c> a</c><00:12:34.279><c> good</c><00:12:34.519><c> strategy</c>

00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:36.720
for<00:12:35.539><c> family</c><00:12:35.879><c> living.</c>

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:38.399
And<00:12:36.960><c> you</c><00:12:37.039><c> don't</c><00:12:37.179><c> want</c><00:12:37.340><c> to</c><00:12:37.460><c> use</c><00:12:37.639><c> this</c><00:12:37.779><c> in</c><00:12:37.879><c> your</c><00:12:38.120><c> families.</c>

00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:40.080
You<00:12:38.500><c> don't</c><00:12:38.639><c> want</c><00:12:38.799><c> to</c><00:12:39.019><c> cheat</c><00:12:39.139><c> your</c><00:12:39.360><c> brothers</c><00:12:39.559><c> and</c><00:12:39.799><c> sisters</c>

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.580
like<00:12:40.360><c> this.</c>

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.940
You<00:12:40.980><c> don't</c><00:12:41.139><c> want</c><00:12:41.320><c> to</c><00:12:41.500><c> cheat</c><00:12:41.639><c> moms</c><00:12:41.899><c> and</c><00:12:42.139><c> dads</c><00:12:42.340><c> like</c><00:12:42.639><c> this.</c>

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.399
Moms<00:12:43.620><c> and</c><00:12:43.820><c> dads</c><00:12:43.980><c> shouldn't</c><00:12:44.240><c> be</c><00:12:44.519><c> treating</c><00:12:44.700><c> you</c><00:12:44.960><c> like</c><00:12:45.240><c> this.</c>

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:47.320
This<00:12:45.600><c> is</c><00:12:45.840><c> not</c><00:12:46.059><c> a</c><00:12:46.360><c> valid</c><00:12:46.740><c> strategy</c>

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.379

Now<00:24:38.849><c> that's</c><00:24:39.109><c> commitment.</c><00:24:39.829><c> But</c><00:24:40.009><c> see,</c><00:24:40.210><c> this</c><00:24:40.450><c> is</c>

00:24:40.710 --> 00:24:42.670
commitment<00:24:41.210><c> that</c><00:24:41.630><c> people</c><00:24:41.910><c> of</c><00:24:42.109><c> God</c><00:24:42.349><c> make</c>

00:24:42.670 --> 00:24:44.890

00:24:44.890 --> 00:24:47.250
and<00:24:45.369><c> realize</c><00:24:45.710><c> it</c><00:24:45.930><c> was</c><00:24:46.150><c> worth</c><00:24:46.410><c> waiting.</c>

00:24:47.309 --> 00:24:48.690
And<00:24:47.450><c> I</c><00:24:47.589><c> think</c><00:24:47.730><c> that's</c><00:24:47.910><c> a</c><00:24:48.029><c> good</c><00:24:48.150><c> lesson</c><00:24:48.410><c> for</c>

00:24:54.710 --> 00:24:56.430
decide<00:24:55.049><c> they're</c><00:24:55.250><c> going</c><00:24:55.369><c> to</c><00:24:55.509><c> test</c><00:24:55.710><c> drive</c><00:24:55.970><c> their</c><00:24:56.170><c> marriage.</c>

00:24:58.650 --> 00:25:00.470
get<00:24:58.849><c> together,</c><00:24:59.470><c> they</c><00:24:59.650><c> live</c><00:24:59.829><c> together,</c><00:25:00.269><c> they</c>

00:25:00.470 --> 00:25:02.549

00:25:02.549 --> 00:25:04.710
whether<00:25:02.829><c> they</c><00:25:02.950><c> really</c><00:25:03.250><c> want</c><00:25:03.369><c> to</c><00:25:03.470><c> get</c><00:25:03.609><c> married.</c><00:25:04.210><c> But</c><00:25:04.450><c> that's</c>

00:25:06.869 --> 00:25:08.789
because<00:25:07.589><c> God</c><00:25:07.970><c> is</c><00:25:08.390><c> using</c>

00:25:08.789 --> 00:25:11.289

how<00:27:19.450><c> our</c><00:27:19.710><c> character</c><00:27:19.950><c> is</c><00:27:20.130><c> really</c><00:27:20.309><c> developing.</c>

00:27:21.430 --> 00:27:23.910
So,<00:27:22.269><c> Jacob,</c><00:27:22.410><c> he</c><00:27:22.970><c> learns</c><00:27:23.250><c> the</c><00:27:23.450><c> hard</c><00:27:23.630><c> way.</c>

00:27:24.289 --> 00:27:24.750
But<00:27:24.289><c> here</c><00:27:24.509><c> he</c><00:27:24.650><c> is.</c>

00:27:24.990 --> 00:27:26.529
Seven<00:27:25.430><c> years</c><00:27:25.690><c> is</c><00:27:25.970><c> finally</c><00:27:26.230><c> up.</c>

00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:28.670
Imagine<00:27:27.069><c> that</c><00:27:27.329><c> day.</c><00:27:27.710><c> Goes</c><00:27:27.990><c> through</c><00:27:28.210><c> the</c><00:27:28.430><c> wedding</c>

00:27:28.670 --> 00:27:29.869
thing,<00:27:28.970><c> whatever</c><00:27:29.170><c> they</c><00:27:29.329><c> would</c><00:27:29.490><c> have</c><00:27:29.650><c> had.</c>

00:27:30.150 --> 00:27:32.609
My<00:27:30.390><c> guess</c><00:27:30.589><c> is</c><00:27:30.789><c> it</c><00:27:30.950><c> probably</c><00:27:31.210><c> involved</c><00:27:31.589><c> drinking</c><00:27:31.890><c> some</c><00:27:32.109><c> alcohol.</c>

00:27:32.990 --> 00:27:34.750
Because<00:27:33.329><c> I</c><00:27:33.569><c> really</c><00:27:33.809><c> don't</c><00:27:34.109><c> understand</c><00:27:34.529><c> how</c>

00:27:34.750 --> 00:27:37.009
Jacob<00:27:35.029><c> could</c><00:27:35.230><c> have</c><00:27:35.349><c> possibly</c><00:27:35.789><c> gone</c><00:27:36.029><c> into</c><00:27:36.309><c> a</c><00:27:36.490><c> tent</c><00:27:36.549><c> with</c><00:27:36.789><c> Leah</c>

00:27:37.009 --> 00:27:38.710
if<00:27:37.730><c> he</c><00:27:37.930><c> had</c><00:27:38.109><c> been</c><00:27:38.349><c> sober.</c>

00:27:39.069 --> 00:27:40.730
And<00:27:39.349><c> my</c><00:27:39.910><c> guess</c><00:27:40.190><c> is</c><00:27:40.430><c> that</c><00:27:40.549><c> he</c>

00:27:40.730 --> 00:27:42.809
probably<00:27:41.190><c> was</c><00:27:41.529><c> not</c><00:27:41.809><c> totally</c><00:27:42.089><c> sober</c><00:27:42.410><c> at</c><00:27:42.569><c> this</c>

00:27:42.809 --> 00:27:44.730
point<00:27:42.990><c> and</c><00:27:43.130><c> didn't</c><00:27:43.410><c> even</c><00:27:43.690><c> realize</c><00:27:44.049><c> what</c><00:27:44.190><c> was</c><00:27:44.390><c> happening.</c>

00:27:45.089 --> 00:27:46.890
But<00:27:45.349><c> there</c><00:27:45.569><c> he</c><00:27:45.710><c> goes.</c><00:27:45.990><c> Goes</c><00:27:46.230><c> into</c><00:27:46.470><c> the</c><00:27:46.690><c> tent.</c>

00:27:46.990 --> 00:27:48.789
Spends<00:27:47.230><c> the</c><00:27:47.410><c> night.</c><00:27:47.769><c> Wakes</c><00:27:47.990><c> up</c><00:27:48.190><c> in</c><00:27:48.289><c> the</c><00:27:48.410><c> morning</c><00:27:48.630><c> and</c>

00:27:48.789 --> 00:27:50.690
cries<00:27:49.009><c> out,</c><00:27:49.390><c> who</c><00:27:49.470><c> did</c><00:27:49.670><c> he</c><00:27:49.809><c> lay</c><00:27:50.009><c> with</c><00:27:50.250><c> all</c><00:27:50.470><c> night?</c>

00:27:50.950 --> 00:27:53.230
Well,<00:27:51.289><c> it</c><00:27:51.309><c> wasn't</c><00:27:51.710><c> his</c><00:27:51.990><c> beloved</c><00:27:52.309><c> Rachel.</c>

00:27:53.269 --> 00:27:54.789
It's<00:27:53.589><c> her</c><00:27:53.869><c> sister.</c>

00:27:54.910 --> 00:27:56.990
And<00:27:55.049><c> then</c><00:27:55.329><c> Levin</c><00:27:55.630><c> spills</c><00:27:55.950><c> the</c><00:27:56.210><c> beans</c><00:27:56.430><c> to</c><00:27:56.490><c> him</c><00:27:56.710><c> and</c><00:27:56.750><c> says,</c>

00:27:57.069 --> 00:27:58.990
well,<00:27:57.470><c> that's</c><00:27:57.849><c> not</c><00:27:58.009><c> how</c><00:27:58.210><c> we</c><00:27:58.309><c> do</c><00:27:58.490><c> it</c><00:27:58.630><c> in</c><00:27:58.750><c> our</c>

00:27:58.990 --> 00:28:00.650
area<00:27:59.210><c> up</c><00:27:59.490><c> here.</c><00:27:59.650><c> Didn't</c><00:27:59.809><c> you</c><00:27:59.950><c> know</c><00:28:00.089><c> the</c><00:28:00.309><c> rules?</c>

00:28:01.130 --> 00:28:02.710
The<00:28:01.190><c> way</c><00:28:01.289><c> we</c><00:28:01.450><c> do</c><00:28:01.589><c> it</c><00:28:01.690><c> up</c><00:28:01.869><c> here</c><00:28:01.970><c> is</c><00:28:02.109><c> the</c><00:28:02.269><c> older</c><00:28:02.490><c> one</c>

00:28:02.710 --> 00:28:04.549
always<00:28:03.069><c> goes</c><00:28:03.369><c> first.</c>

00:28:04.589 --> 00:28:06.529
I<00:28:04.809><c> don't</c><00:28:04.950><c> know</c><00:28:04.990><c> how</c><00:28:05.130><c> that</c><00:28:05.309><c> didn't</c><00:28:05.470><c> come</c><00:28:05.609><c> out</c><00:28:05.769><c> in</c><00:28:05.990><c> seven</c><00:28:06.170><c> years</c>

00:28:06.529 --> 00:28:08.710
between<00:28:06.990><c> Rachel</c><00:28:07.609><c> and</c><00:28:07.869><c> Leah</c><00:28:08.190><c> and</c>

00:28:08.710 --> 00:28:10.970
Levin,<00:28:09.150><c> but</c><00:28:09.349><c> for</c><00:28:09.650><c> seven</c><00:28:09.950><c> years</c><00:28:10.250><c> he's</c><00:28:10.450><c> up</c><00:28:10.690><c> there.</c>

00:28:11.410 --> 00:28:12.609
Nobody<00:28:11.609><c> ever</c><00:28:11.930><c> told</c><00:28:12.130><c> him</c><00:28:12.369><c> that.</c>

00:28:12.769 --> 00:28:14.730
But<00:28:12.990><c> in</c><00:28:13.230><c> the</c><00:28:13.329><c> end,</c><00:28:13.789><c> this</c><00:28:13.990><c> is</c><00:28:14.190><c> what</c><00:28:14.430><c> God</c>

00:28:14.730 --> 00:28:16.930
does<00:28:15.009><c> to</c><00:28:15.250><c> us</c><00:28:15.509><c> in</c><00:28:15.750><c> life.</c><00:28:16.190><c> When</c><00:28:16.390><c> we</c><00:28:16.710><c> have</c>

00:28:16.930 --> 00:28:18.990
weaknesses<00:28:17.450><c> like</c><00:28:17.769><c> this,</c><00:28:18.029><c> when</c><00:28:18.170><c> we're</c><00:28:18.390><c> like</c><00:28:18.529><c> the</c><00:28:18.650><c> kind</c><00:28:18.829><c> of</c>

00:28:18.990 --> 00:28:21.109
person<00:28:19.190><c> that's</c><00:28:19.549><c> a</c><00:28:19.650><c> schemer</c><00:28:19.950><c> or</c><00:28:20.230><c> whatever</c><00:28:20.549><c> our</c><00:28:20.869><c> weakness</c>

00:28:21.109 --> 00:28:23.069
happens<00:28:21.470><c> to</c><00:28:21.710><c> be,</c><00:28:22.329><c> God</c><00:28:22.589><c> matches</c>

00:28:23.069 --> 00:28:25.089
us<00:28:23.309><c> up</c><00:28:23.430><c> sometimes</c><00:28:23.829><c> with</c><00:28:24.089><c> other</c><00:28:24.309><c> people</c><00:28:24.650><c> who</c><00:28:24.910><c> use</c>

00:28:25.089 --> 00:28:26.950
the<00:28:25.349><c> same</c><00:28:25.529><c> approach</c><00:28:25.890><c> in</c><00:28:26.130><c> life</c><00:28:26.329><c> and</c><00:28:26.730><c> then</c>

00:28:26.950 --> 00:28:28.990
comes<00:28:27.130><c> back</c><00:28:27.390><c> on</c><00:28:27.630><c> top</c><00:28:27.769><c> of</c><00:28:27.950><c> us.</c><00:28:28.490><c> And</c><00:28:28.650><c> then</c><00:28:28.769><c> we</c><00:28:28.849><c> get</c>

00:28:28.990 --> 00:28:30.990
to<00:28:29.250><c> find</c><00:28:29.450><c> out</c><00:28:29.710><c> what</c><00:28:29.869><c> it's</c><00:28:30.210><c> like</c><00:28:30.329><c> to</c><00:28:30.529><c> be</c><00:28:30.730><c> treated</c>

00:28:30.990 --> 00:28:33.269
like<00:28:31.329><c> that.</c><00:28:31.990><c> And</c><00:28:32.309><c> Jacob,</c><00:28:32.589><c> you</c><00:28:32.690><c> can</c><00:28:32.869><c> imagine</c>

00:28:33.269 --> 00:28:34.990
how<00:28:33.529><c> he</c><00:28:33.690><c> just</c><00:28:33.930><c> like</c><00:28:34.150><c> in</c><00:28:34.349><c> that</c><00:28:34.569><c> moment</c><00:28:34.829><c> when</c>

00:28:34.990 --> 00:28:36.990
he<00:28:35.210><c> woke</c><00:28:35.349><c> up</c><00:28:35.529><c> and</c><00:28:35.769><c> finally</c><00:28:36.069><c> realized</c><00:28:36.450><c> what</c><00:28:36.670><c> had</c><00:28:36.829><c> gone</c>

00:28:36.990 --> 00:28:39.190
on,<00:28:37.170><c> how</c><00:28:37.390><c> upset</c><00:28:37.829><c> he</c><00:28:38.109><c> was,</c><00:28:38.390><c> how</c><00:28:38.849><c> angry</c>

00:28:39.190 --> 00:28:41.069
he<00:28:39.490><c> was,</c><00:28:39.750><c> and</c><00:28:40.089><c> how</c><00:28:40.309><c> much</c><00:28:40.490><c> he</c><00:28:40.650><c> just</c><00:28:40.890><c> wanted</c>

00:28:41.069 --> 00:28:43.250
to<00:28:41.329><c> go</c><00:28:41.750><c> to</c><00:28:41.990><c> Levin</c><00:28:42.170><c> and</c><00:28:42.369><c> talk</c><00:28:42.549><c> to</c><00:28:42.670><c> him</c><00:28:42.730><c> right</c><00:28:42.930><c> away.</c>

00:28:43.490 --> 00:28:44.869
And<00:28:43.769><c> God</c><00:28:43.970><c> would</c><00:28:44.130><c> be</c><00:28:44.410><c> telling</c><00:28:44.650><c> him,</c>

00:28:44.869 --> 00:28:47.190
this<00:28:45.130><c> is</c><00:28:45.309><c> how</c><00:28:45.569><c> Esau</c><00:28:45.930><c> fell</c><00:28:46.289><c> when</c><00:28:46.549><c> you</c><00:28:46.730><c> tricked</c><00:28:46.890><c> him.</c>

00:28:47.309 --> 00:28:49.029
This<00:28:47.490><c> is</c><00:28:47.690><c> the</c><00:28:47.750><c> way</c><00:28:47.890><c> he</c><00:28:48.109><c> felt.</c><00:28:48.650><c> And</c><00:28:48.809><c> now</c>

00:28:49.029 --> 00:28:51.130
you<00:28:49.170><c> know</c><00:28:49.289><c> what</c><00:28:49.410><c> it's</c><00:28:49.630><c> really</c><00:28:49.829><c> like.</c><00:28:50.609><c> So</c><00:28:50.910><c> this</c>

00:28:51.130 --> 00:28:52.930
is<00:28:51.289><c> what</c><00:28:51.410><c> God</c><00:28:51.609><c> does.</c><00:28:52.170><c> This</c><00:28:52.450><c> is</c><00:28:52.549><c> what</c><00:28:52.690><c> angels</c>

00:28:52.930 --> 00:28:54.730
do.<00:28:53.490><c> They</c><00:28:53.690><c> come</c><00:28:53.970><c> up</c><00:28:54.329><c> with</c>

00:28:54.730 --> 00:28:56.769
techniques<00:28:55.309><c> and</c><00:28:55.569><c> they</c><00:28:55.650><c> come</c><00:28:55.869><c> up</c><00:28:56.009><c> with</c><00:28:56.250><c> strategies</c>

00:28:56.769 --> 00:28:59.089
in<00:28:57.369><c> our</c><00:28:57.710><c> lives</c><00:28:58.150><c> to</c><00:28:58.410><c> make</c><00:28:58.549><c> us</c><00:28:58.849><c> face</c>

00:28:59.089 --> 00:29:01.029

00:29:05.509 --> 00:29:07.269
And<00:29:05.809><c> that's</c><00:29:06.210><c> basically</c><00:29:06.650><c> the</c><00:29:06.970><c> strategy</c>

00:29:07.269 --> 00:29:09.109

00:29:16.910 --> 00:29:18.990
That<00:29:17.130><c> isn't</c><00:29:17.369><c> what</c><00:29:17.529><c> we</c><00:29:17.730><c> do.</c><00:29:18.150><c> Instead,</c><00:29:18.470><c> you</c><00:29:18.630><c> look</c><00:29:18.829><c> at</c>

00:29:27.390 --> 00:29:29.049
And<00:29:27.670><c> that's</c><00:29:27.890><c> what</c><00:29:28.029><c> we</c><00:29:28.250><c> can</c><00:29:28.410><c> learn</c><00:29:28.609><c> from</c><00:29:28.809><c> it.</c>

00:29:29.269 --> 00:29:30.930
So<00:29:29.450><c> instead</c><00:29:29.650><c> of</c><00:29:29.750><c> getting</c><00:29:29.970><c> angry</c><00:29:30.349><c> at</c><00:29:30.609><c> other</c>

00:29:40.690 --> 00:29:42.930
And<00:29:41.150><c> then</c><00:29:41.309><c> figure</c><00:29:42.009><c> out,</c><00:29:42.509><c> well,</c><00:29:42.569><c> I</c><00:29:42.630><c> want</c><00:29:42.809><c> to</c>

If<00:29:54.789><c> you</c><00:29:54.910><c> think</c><00:29:55.069><c> about</c><00:29:55.269><c> it,</c><00:29:55.750><c> he</c><00:29:55.930><c> really</c><00:29:56.390><c> could</c><00:29:56.589><c> have</c>

00:31:27.990 --> 00:31:30.130

00:31:36.089 --> 00:31:38.349
it's<00:31:36.650><c> fun</c><00:31:36.869><c> to</c><00:31:37.049><c> see,</c><00:31:37.309><c> at</c><00:31:37.390><c> least,</c><00:31:37.650><c> that</c><00:31:37.750><c> God</c><00:31:37.930><c> can</c><00:31:38.150><c> work</c>

00:31:40.450 --> 00:31:42.210
We<00:31:40.549><c> pray</c><00:31:40.789><c> about</c><00:31:41.029><c> it.</c><00:31:41.470><c> And</c><00:31:41.750><c> God</c><00:31:41.950><c> is</c>

00:31:42.210 --> 00:31:44.150
flexible.<00:31:42.789><c> It's</c><00:31:42.890><c> not</c><00:31:43.049><c> like</c><00:31:43.190><c> there</c><00:31:43.289><c> was</c><00:31:43.410><c> only</c><00:31:43.829><c> one</c>

00:31:50.009 --> 00:31:52.150
I'll<00:31:50.329><c> make</c><00:31:50.430><c> out</c><00:31:50.569><c> of</c><00:31:50.690><c> you</c><00:31:50.769><c> a</c><00:31:50.910><c> great</c><00:31:51.049><c> nation.</c><00:31:51.690><c> The</c><00:31:51.950><c> angel</c>

00:31:54.049 --> 00:31:56.170

00:31:56.170 --> 00:31:58.150

and<00:36:06.789><c> children</c><00:36:07.269><c> killed</c><00:36:07.610><c> her.</c>

00:36:08.030 --> 00:36:09.610
She<00:36:08.230><c> actually</c><00:36:08.530><c> got</c><00:36:08.730><c> her</c><00:36:08.989><c> wish</c><00:36:09.150><c> in</c><00:36:09.369><c> the</c><00:36:09.489><c> end.</c>

00:36:09.949 --> 00:36:11.869

00:36:12.150 --> 00:36:14.170
It's<00:36:12.409><c> pretty</c><00:36:12.670><c> sad</c><00:36:13.050><c> but</c><00:36:13.210><c> that's</c><00:36:13.469><c> really</c><00:36:13.730><c> what</c><00:36:14.010><c> happened</c>

00:36:14.170 --> 00:36:16.210
in<00:36:14.269><c> her</c><00:36:14.449><c> life.</c><00:36:14.969><c> But</c><00:36:15.210><c> she</c><00:36:15.369><c> had</c><00:36:15.670><c> let</c><00:36:15.849><c> this</c>

00:36:20.230 --> 00:36:22.230
everything.<00:36:21.110><c> And</c><00:36:21.449><c> she</c><00:36:21.630><c> should</c><00:36:21.869><c> have</c>

00:44:38.869 --> 00:44:40.849
And<00:44:38.949><c> he's</c><00:44:39.110><c> going</c><00:44:39.269><c> to</c><00:44:39.329><c> take</c><00:44:39.469><c> a</c><00:44:39.630><c> different</c><00:44:39.869><c> strategy.</c>

00:44:41.130 --> 00:44:43.030

00:44:49.050 --> 00:44:51.030
our<00:44:49.250><c> strategy</c><00:44:49.610><c> for</c><00:44:49.849><c> life,</c><00:44:50.150><c> young</c><00:44:50.269><c> people,</c><00:44:50.530><c> is</c><00:44:50.630><c> we</c><00:44:50.690><c> got</c><00:44:50.849><c> to</c>

admit<00:44:51.150><c> our</c><00:44:51.389><c> mistakes</c><00:44:51.769><c> and</c><00:44:52.010><c> we</c><00:44:52.250><c> got</c><00:44:52.409><c> to</c><00:44:52.530><c> move</c><00:44:52.670><c> on.</c>

00:44:53.050 --> 00:44:54.769
And<00:44:53.250><c> now</c><00:44:53.409><c> he's</c><00:44:53.570><c> going</c><00:44:53.690><c> to</c><00:44:53.789><c> have</c><00:44:53.949><c> to</c><00:44:54.090><c> face</c><00:44:54.289><c> Esau.</c>

00:44:54.809 --> 00:44:56.809
And<00:44:54.889><c> he's</c><00:44:55.090><c> going</c><00:44:55.190><c> to</c><00:44:55.269><c> have</c><00:44:55.389><c> to</c><00:44:55.550><c> apologize</c><00:44:56.170><c> for</c><00:44:56.409><c> mistakes</c>

00:45:00.750 --> 00:45:02.809
So<00:45:00.969><c> Jacob</c><00:45:01.210><c> comes</c><00:45:01.510><c> down</c><00:45:01.849><c> on</c><00:45:02.230><c> the</c><00:45:02.650><c> eastern</c>

00:45:11.570 --> 00:45:13.150
And<00:45:11.710><c> then</c><00:45:11.829><c> what</c><00:45:11.929><c> he</c><00:45:12.090><c> does</c><00:45:12.349><c> at</c><00:45:12.670><c> night</c><00:45:12.869><c> is</c>

00:45:13.150 --> 00:45:15.170
