It's<00:11:35.350><c> in</c><00:11:35.549><c> your</c><00:11:35.769><c> mouth.</c>

00:11:36.769 --> 00:11:39.049
It's<00:11:36.970><c> in</c><00:11:37.210><c> your</c><00:11:37.529><c> heart,</c><00:11:38.090><c> says</c><00:11:38.269><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:11:39.090 --> 00:11:41.409
that<00:11:39.250><c> you</c><00:11:39.429><c> may</c><00:11:39.649><c> hear</c><00:11:39.870><c> it</c><00:11:40.210><c> and</c><00:11:40.389><c> do</c><00:11:40.669><c> it.</c>

00:11:41.409 --> 00:11:43.389
How<00:11:41.889><c> do</c><00:11:42.029><c> you</c><00:11:42.110><c> get</c><00:11:42.190><c> it</c><00:11:42.309><c> in</c><00:11:42.389><c> your</c><00:11:42.649><c> heart?</c>

00:11:44.090 --> 00:11:48.669
How<00:11:44.450><c> does</c><00:11:44.649><c> that</c><00:11:45.629><c> become</c><00:11:46.129><c> active</c><00:11:46.710><c> in</c><00:11:47.090><c> order</c><00:11:47.389><c> for</c><00:11:47.649><c> you</c><00:11:47.830><c> to</c><00:11:47.970><c> be</c><00:11:48.230><c> obedient?</c>

00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:50.450
Because<00:11:49.169><c> God</c><00:11:49.389><c> does</c><00:11:49.649><c> want</c><00:11:49.909><c> obedience.</c>

00:11:50.809 --> 00:11:52.330
All<00:11:51.029><c> fathers</c><00:11:51.350><c> do.</c>

00:11:52.610 --> 00:11:54.690
And<00:11:52.750><c> our</c><00:11:52.870><c> Heavenly</c><00:11:53.169><c> Father</c><00:11:53.570><c> certainly</c><00:11:53.909><c> wants</c><00:11:54.190><c> obedience.</c>

00:11:55.029 --> 00:11:58.250
He<00:11:55.230><c> knows</c><00:11:55.690><c> that</c><00:11:56.090><c> obedience</c><00:11:56.549><c> will</c><00:11:56.809><c> not</c><00:11:57.049><c> come</c><00:11:57.450><c> in</c><00:11:57.850><c> the</c><00:11:57.970><c> way</c><00:11:58.110><c> that</c>

00:11:58.250 --> 00:11:58.909
he<00:11:58.370><c> wants</c><00:11:58.690><c> it</c>

00:11:58.909 --> 00:12:00.070
unless<00:11:59.149><c> it's</c><00:11:59.330><c> in</c><00:11:59.529><c> our</c><00:11:59.769><c> heart.</c>

00:12:00.289 --> 00:12:01.750
But<00:12:00.470><c> how</c><00:12:00.669><c> do</c><00:12:00.730><c> you</c><00:12:00.889><c> get</c><00:12:00.990><c> it</c><00:12:01.149><c> in</c><00:12:01.350><c> the</c><00:12:01.429><c> heart,</c>

00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:06.090
and<00:12:02.450><c> how</c><00:12:02.629><c> does</c><00:12:02.769><c> it</c><00:12:02.970><c> become</c><00:12:03.250><c> active</c><00:12:03.909><c> in</c><00:12:04.529><c> a</c><00:12:04.789><c> powerful</c><00:12:05.070><c> way</c><00:12:05.409><c> to</c><00:12:05.690><c> change?</c>

00:12:06.090 --> 00:12:11.169
The<00:12:06.809><c> answer</c><00:12:07.110><c> is,</c><00:12:07.809><c> my</c><00:12:07.950><c> word</c><00:12:09.009><c> must</c><00:12:09.529><c> be</c><00:12:09.909><c> in</c><00:12:10.070><c> your</c><00:12:10.350><c> heart.</c>

00:12:11.509 --> 00:12:13.009
So<00:12:11.669><c> don't</c><00:12:11.850><c> ask</c><00:12:12.110><c> who</c><00:12:12.309><c> will</c><00:12:12.570><c> do</c><00:12:12.710><c> it.</c>

00:12:13.070 --> 00:12:14.309
I<00:12:13.389><c> will</c><00:12:13.610><c> do</c><00:12:13.809><c> it.</c>

00:12:14.649 --> 00:12:17.029
You<00:12:14.789><c> see,</c><00:12:14.909><c> the</c><00:12:15.049><c> rhetorical</c><00:12:15.669><c> question</c><00:12:16.230><c> of</c><00:12:16.529><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:12:17.090 --> 00:12:18.710
who<00:12:17.250><c> will</c><00:12:17.470><c> do</c><00:12:17.649><c> it,</c><00:12:17.830><c> who</c><00:12:17.970><c> will</c><00:12:18.169><c> do</c><00:12:18.389><c> it,</c>

00:12:18.909 --> 00:12:23.250
is<00:12:19.129><c> answered</c><00:12:19.509><c> in</c><00:12:19.690><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:12:20.490><c> and</c><00:12:21.169><c> in</c><00:12:21.590><c> Jeremiah</c><00:12:22.029><c> 31.</c>

00:12:23.629 --> 00:12:25.490
God<00:12:23.990><c> will</c><00:12:24.269><c> do</c><00:12:24.450><c> it.</c>

00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:29.990
It's<00:12:26.769><c> completely</c><00:12:27.309><c> contrary</c><00:12:27.970><c> to</c><00:12:28.190><c> the</c><00:12:28.549><c> instincts</c><00:12:28.850><c> of</c><00:12:29.129><c> Judaism</c>

00:12:30.090 --> 00:12:33.350
that<00:12:30.450><c> wanted</c><00:12:30.809><c> to</c><00:12:31.210><c> create</c><00:12:31.629><c> a</c><00:12:32.309><c> system</c><00:12:32.649><c> of</c><00:12:32.990><c> religion</c>

00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:36.230
that<00:12:33.490><c> was</c><00:12:33.730><c> based</c><00:12:34.129><c> on</c><00:12:34.509><c> works,</c><00:12:35.149><c> rules,</c><00:12:35.509><c> and</c><00:12:35.769><c> laws,</c>

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:39.830
by<00:12:36.789><c> which</c><00:12:37.230><c> man</c><00:12:37.830><c> provided</c><00:12:38.350><c> his</c><00:12:38.610><c> own</c><00:12:38.889><c> bounds</c><00:12:39.210><c> and</c><00:12:39.490><c> limits,</c>

00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:43.070
added<00:12:40.529><c> to</c><00:12:40.769><c> God's</c><00:12:41.190><c> law</c><00:12:41.409><c> what</c><00:12:41.570><c> he</c><00:12:41.830><c> hadn't</c><00:12:42.070><c> said,</c>

00:12:43.289 --> 00:12:46.750

00:12:46.750 --> 00:12:48.070
word<00:12:46.929><c> said.</c>

00:12:52.590 --> 00:12:55.990
When<00:12:52.850><c> you</c><00:12:52.970><c> come</c><00:12:53.190><c> across</c><00:12:53.590><c> the</c><00:12:53.710><c> book</c><00:12:53.909><c> of</c><00:12:54.070><c> Deuteronomy,</c><00:12:54.970><c> therefore,</c>

00:12:56.570 --> 00:12:59.210
it's<00:12:56.809><c> no</c><00:12:57.029><c> surprise,</c><00:12:58.070><c> is</c><00:12:58.470><c> it,</c>

00:12:59.529 --> 00:13:00.850
that<00:12:59.669><c> you</c><00:12:59.809><c> discover</c><00:13:00.230><c> the</c><00:13:00.490><c> following,</c>

00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:04.809
which,<00:13:02.409><c> again,</c><00:13:02.649><c> with</c><00:13:02.870><c> a</c><00:13:03.129><c> stats</c><00:13:03.370><c> chart,</c>

00:13:04.990 --> 00:13:08.210
helps,<00:13:05.309><c> I</c><00:13:05.509><c> think,</c><00:13:05.710><c> just</c><00:13:05.950><c> to</c><00:13:06.169><c> create</c><00:13:06.470><c> a</c><00:13:06.950><c> quick</c><00:13:07.110><c> impression.</c>

00:13:08.929 --> 00:13:14.230
The<00:13:09.090><c> word</c><00:13:09.470><c> heart</c><00:13:10.289><c> appears</c><00:13:10.970><c> some</c><00:13:11.389><c> 46</c><00:13:12.110><c> times</c><00:13:12.830><c> in</c><00:13:13.049><c> the</c><00:13:13.149><c> book</c><00:13:13.309><c> of</c><00:13:13.509><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:13:14.629 --> 00:13:18.570
Now<00:13:14.870><c> compare</c><00:13:15.590><c> numbers</c><00:13:16.629><c> three</c><00:13:17.429><c> times,</c>

00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:21.730
Leviticus<00:13:19.090><c> wants</c><00:13:19.570><c> Exodus</c><00:13:20.009><c> 13</c><00:13:20.610><c> times.</c>

00:13:22.269 --> 00:13:26.370
The<00:13:22.789><c> heart</c><00:13:23.230><c> is</c><00:13:23.570><c> a</c><00:13:23.889><c> major</c><00:13:24.309><c> theme</c><00:13:24.809><c> in</c><00:13:25.029><c> the</c><00:13:25.169><c> book</c><00:13:25.309><c> of</c><00:13:25.470><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

00:13:27.710 --> 00:13:31.409
and<00:13:28.330><c> it</c><00:13:28.450><c> ties</c><00:13:28.850><c> in</c><00:13:29.169><c> with</c><00:13:29.350><c> the</c><00:13:29.509><c> quotation</c><00:13:29.990><c> of</c><00:13:30.389><c> Romans</c><00:13:30.710><c> 10</c><00:13:31.149><c> from</c>

00:13:31.409 --> 00:13:32.509
Deuteronomy<00:13:31.990><c> 30,</c>

00:13:32.750 --> 00:13:36.110
because<00:13:32.850><c> it's</c><00:13:33.129><c> the</c><00:13:33.490><c> heart</c><00:13:33.830><c> that</c><00:13:34.070><c> God</c><00:13:34.309><c> is</c><00:13:34.549><c> trying</c><00:13:34.750><c> to</c><00:13:35.049><c> change.</c>

00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:39.809
It's<00:13:36.909><c> the</c><00:13:37.129><c> heart</c><00:13:37.610><c> that's</c><00:13:38.070><c> the</c><00:13:38.210><c> seat</c><00:13:38.409><c> of</c><00:13:38.750><c> change.</c>

00:13:42.230 --> 00:13:44.950
Now,<00:13:42.610><c> having</c><00:13:42.750><c> recognized</c><00:13:43.590><c> that,</c>

00:13:45.929 --> 00:13:47.409
we<00:13:46.049><c> go</c><00:13:46.190><c> a</c><00:13:46.289><c> little</c><00:13:46.429><c> further.</c>

00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:52.110
This<00:13:48.570><c> issue</c><00:13:48.909><c> of</c><00:13:49.110><c> the</c><00:13:49.330><c> heart</c><00:13:49.730><c> is</c><00:13:50.289><c> an</c><00:13:50.529><c> Abrahamic</c><00:13:51.070><c> issue.</c>

00:13:52.610 --> 00:13:54.610
You<00:13:52.710><c> might</c><00:13:52.909><c> not</c><00:13:53.049><c> have</c><00:13:53.169><c> heard</c><00:13:53.289><c> that</c><00:13:53.549><c> before.</c>

00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:57.470
What's<00:13:55.529><c> the</c><00:13:55.649><c> heart</c><00:13:55.970><c> got</c><00:13:56.169><c> to</c><00:13:56.309><c> do</c><00:13:56.370><c> with</c><00:13:56.549><c> Abraham?</c>

00:13:57.870 --> 00:13:59.889
It's<00:13:58.090><c> got</c><00:13:58.169><c> everything</c><00:13:58.429><c> to</c><00:13:58.610><c> do</c><00:13:58.669><c> with</c><00:13:58.850><c> Abraham.</c>

00:14:00.570 --> 00:14:01.809
Abraham<00:14:00.909><c> believed</c><00:14:01.450><c> God.</c>

00:14:02.049 --> 00:14:04.889
That<00:14:02.190><c> was</c><00:14:02.409><c> a</c><00:14:02.529><c> matter</c><00:14:02.690><c> of</c><00:14:02.889><c> the</c><00:14:03.049><c> heart</c><00:14:03.409><c> and</c><00:14:03.830><c> the</c><00:14:04.049><c> mind.</c>

00:14:05.669 --> 00:14:08.629
He<00:14:05.850><c> believed</c><00:14:06.169><c> God,</c><00:14:06.490><c> and</c><00:14:06.549><c> it</c><00:14:06.669><c> was</c><00:14:06.929><c> counted</c><00:14:07.129><c> to</c><00:14:07.269><c> him</c><00:14:07.450><c> for</c><00:14:07.690><c> righteousness.</c>

00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:11.490
That's<00:14:09.529><c> an</c><00:14:09.809><c> Abrahamic</c><00:14:10.389><c> concept.</c>

00:14:11.870 --> 00:14:13.889

That's<00:14:37.590><c> an</c><00:14:37.889><c> Abrahamic</c><00:14:38.429><c> concept.</c>

00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:53.870

00:14:58.950 --> 00:15:03.190

00:24:01.849 --> 00:24:05.730
while<00:24:02.390><c> he</c><00:24:02.529><c> was</c><00:24:02.849><c> circumcised</c><00:24:03.410><c> or</c><00:24:03.589><c> before</c><00:24:03.950><c> he</c><00:24:04.049><c> was</c><00:24:04.309><c> circumcised?</c>

00:24:05.750 --> 00:24:10.009
It<00:24:05.869><c> says</c><00:24:06.130><c> all</c><00:24:06.490><c> of</c><00:24:06.650><c> verse</c><00:24:06.769><c> ten,</c><00:24:07.789><c> not</c><00:24:08.170><c> in</c><00:24:08.670><c> circumcision,</c>

00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:16.250
He<00:24:13.769><c> received</c><00:24:14.569><c> the</c><00:24:14.970><c> sign</c><00:24:15.230><c> of</c><00:24:15.549><c> circumcision,</c>

00:24:25.009 --> 00:24:26.049
Why?

00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:29.609
That<00:24:26.329><c> he</c><00:24:26.509><c> might</c><00:24:26.730><c> be</c><00:24:26.950><c> the</c><00:24:27.190><c> father</c><00:24:27.470><c> of</c><00:24:27.869><c> all</c><00:24:28.369><c> them</c><00:24:28.569><c> that</c><00:24:28.869><c> believe,</c>

Now<00:24:55.309><c> isn't</c><00:24:55.529><c> that</c><00:24:55.829><c> incredible?</c>

00:24:57.150 --> 00:25:00.789
The<00:24:57.390><c> nation</c><00:24:57.970><c> stands</c><00:24:58.670><c> as</c><00:24:59.390><c> a</c><00:24:59.589><c> nation</c><00:24:59.930><c> of</c><00:25:00.309><c> males</c>

What<00:25:42.849><c> God</c><00:25:43.230><c> did</c><00:25:43.670><c> through</c><00:25:44.210><c> Abraham</c>

00:26:03.849 --> 00:26:07.089
Can<00:26:04.529><c> we</c><00:26:04.710><c> miss</c><00:26:04.950><c> the</c><00:26:05.150><c> point,</c><00:26:05.710><c> brethren</c><00:26:05.890><c> and</c><00:26:06.130><c> sisters?</c>

the<00:26:21.170><c> keys</c><00:26:21.509><c> of</c><00:26:21.750><c> salvation.</c>

00:26:23.250 --> 00:26:26.009
As<00:26:23.569><c> Jews</c><00:26:23.950><c> he</c><00:26:24.250><c> knew</c><00:26:24.650><c> they</c><00:26:24.809><c> would</c><00:26:24.990><c> go</c><00:26:25.230><c> across</c><00:26:25.509><c> that</c><00:26:25.809><c> land</c>

00:26:34.710 --> 00:26:38.369
And<00:26:34.950><c> they'd</c><00:26:35.190><c> lose</c><00:26:35.329><c> it</c><00:26:35.990><c> because</c><00:26:36.490><c> they</c><00:26:36.690><c> would</c><00:26:36.869><c> lose</c><00:26:37.089><c> the</c><00:26:37.309><c> keys.</c>

00:26:38.789 --> 00:26:41.049
Deuteronomy<00:26:39.230><c> was</c><00:26:39.450><c> intended</c><00:26:39.789><c> to</c><00:26:40.109><c> give</c><00:26:40.309><c> them</c><00:26:40.490><c> the</c><00:26:40.730><c> keys</c>

if<00:26:41.589><c> they</c><00:26:41.769><c> would</c><00:26:41.970><c> just</c><00:26:42.309><c> discern</c><00:26:42.829><c> and</c><00:26:43.069><c> think</c><00:26:43.289><c> about</c><00:26:43.509><c> it.</c>

00:26:45.170 --> 00:26:47.589
But<00:26:45.430><c> maybe</c><00:26:45.630><c> we've</c><00:26:45.890><c> made</c><00:26:46.009><c> a</c><00:26:46.150><c> mistake</c><00:26:46.470><c> here.</c>

00:26:47.769 --> 00:26:51.630
We<00:26:48.069><c> say</c><00:26:48.269><c> that</c><00:26:49.190><c> the</c><00:26:49.789><c> right</c><00:26:49.970><c> of</c><00:26:50.309><c> circumcision,</c>

00:32:01.589 --> 00:32:02.630
Why?

00:32:03.809 --> 00:32:09.009
That<00:32:04.170><c> you</c><00:32:05.109><c> may</c><00:32:05.869><c> love</c><00:32:07.250><c> the</c><00:32:07.650><c> LORD</c><00:32:07.849><c> thy</c><00:32:08.150><c> God</c>

00:32:09.009 --> 00:32:12.650
and<00:32:09.690><c> therefore</c><00:32:10.369><c> that</c><00:32:11.029><c> you</c><00:32:11.170><c> might</c><00:32:11.450><c> live.</c>

00:32:12.990 --> 00:32:16.089
The<00:32:13.289><c> secret</c><00:32:13.930><c> to</c><00:32:14.390><c> eternal</c><00:32:14.970><c> principles</c>

00:32:21.549 --> 00:32:23.769
Can<00:32:22.509><c> we</c><00:32:22.930><c> say</c><00:32:23.109><c> it</c><00:32:23.269><c> again?</c>

00:32:24.190 --> 00:32:26.930
Because<00:32:24.329><c> it</c><00:32:24.450><c> doesn't</c><00:32:24.789><c> sink</c><00:32:25.009><c> in</c><00:32:25.210><c> very</c><00:32:25.450><c> well</c><00:32:25.589><c> to</c><00:32:25.789><c> any</c><00:32:25.970><c> of</c><00:32:26.069><c> us.</c>

00:32:58.950 --> 00:33:00.650
Does<00:32:59.069><c> God</c><00:32:59.289><c> not</c><00:32:59.549><c> care</c><00:32:59.849><c> for</c><00:33:00.069><c> our</c><00:33:00.269><c> behavior?</c>

00:33:00.849 --> 00:33:02.190
Yes,<00:33:01.109><c> he</c><00:33:01.230><c> does.</c>

00:33:02.390 --> 00:33:03.910
Does<00:33:02.549><c> he</c><00:33:02.650><c> not</c><00:33:02.809><c> talk</c><00:33:03.049><c> about</c><00:33:03.309><c> externals?</c>

00:33:03.930 --> 00:33:05.369
Yes,<00:33:04.289><c> he</c><00:33:04.410><c> does.</c>

00:33:05.390 --> 00:33:07.809

00:33:08.109 --> 00:33:09.529
Yes,<00:33:08.450><c> he</c><00:33:08.569><c> does.</c>

00:33:09.829 --> 00:33:12.549
But<00:33:10.009><c> how</c><00:33:10.250><c> do</c><00:33:10.410><c> you</c><00:33:10.569><c> achieve</c><00:33:11.190><c> that</c><00:33:11.430><c> obedience</c>

in<00:33:13.009><c> the</c><00:33:13.109><c> way</c><00:33:13.269><c> that</c><00:33:13.490><c> God</c><00:33:13.789><c> wants</c><00:33:14.150><c> to</c><00:33:14.410><c> achieve</c><00:33:14.670><c> it?</c>

00:33:15.089 --> 00:33:16.130
There's<00:33:15.509><c> the</c><00:33:15.710><c> question.</c>

00:33:16.130 --> 00:33:19.109
How<00:33:17.230><c> do</c><00:33:17.529><c> you</c><00:33:17.789><c> achieve</c><00:33:18.309><c> obedience</c>

00:33:19.109 --> 00:33:21.710
by<00:33:19.670><c> the</c><00:33:19.769><c> way</c><00:33:20.009><c> God</c><00:33:20.349><c> wants</c><00:33:20.670><c> to</c><00:33:20.950><c> achieve</c><00:33:21.170><c> obedience?</c>

00:33:22.089 --> 00:33:23.630
The<00:33:22.170><c> answer</c><00:33:22.589><c> is,</c>

00:33:24.349 --> 00:33:27.769
God<00:33:24.789><c> and</c><00:33:25.349><c> man</c><00:33:25.990><c> cooperating</c><00:33:26.910><c> together,</c>

00:33:30.549 --> 00:33:34.650
And<00:33:30.650><c> it's</c><00:33:30.890><c> the</c><00:33:31.190><c> word,</c><00:33:32.390><c> Romans</c><00:33:32.750><c> chapter</c><00:33:33.349><c> 10</c><00:33:33.650><c> again,</c>

00:33:34.710 --> 00:33:37.430
that's<00:33:34.990><c> in</c><00:33:35.190><c> our</c><00:33:35.509><c> mouth</c><00:33:35.769><c> that</c><00:33:35.970><c> must</c><00:33:36.269><c> be</c><00:33:36.569><c> in</c><00:33:36.730><c> our</c><00:33:37.069><c> heart,</c>

Deuteronomy<00:33:38.329><c> 30,</c>

00:33:43.369 --> 00:33:44.809
The<00:33:43.650><c> doing</c><00:33:43.869><c> is</c><00:33:44.109><c> important.</c>

00:33:44.809 --> 00:33:48.250
This<00:33:45.509><c> is</c><00:33:45.730><c> not</c><00:33:45.869><c> a</c><00:33:46.049><c> religion</c><00:33:46.509><c> that</c><00:33:47.170><c> ignores</c><00:33:47.549><c> obedience.</c>

00:33:48.589 --> 00:33:51.170
It's<00:33:48.730><c> obedience</c><00:33:49.210><c> that's</c><00:33:49.569><c> wanted</c><00:33:49.829><c> as</c><00:33:50.029><c> the</c><00:33:50.190><c> outcome.</c>

00:33:51.390 --> 00:33:53.210
Behavior<00:33:51.750><c> is</c><00:33:52.130><c> important.</c>

00:33:53.789 --> 00:33:57.410
But<00:33:53.970><c> driven</c><00:33:54.289><c> by</c><00:33:54.589><c> the</c><00:33:54.890><c> principles</c><00:33:55.470><c> of</c><00:33:56.150><c> a</c><00:33:56.450><c> growing</c><00:33:56.809><c> love</c>

00:46:13.929 --> 00:46:18.130
Now<00:46:14.170><c> you</c><00:46:14.250><c> just</c><00:46:14.630><c> notice</c><00:46:15.269><c> the</c><00:46:15.989><c> comparison</c><00:46:16.690><c> and</c><00:46:17.150><c> contrast.</c>

Not<00:46:32.510><c> once.</c>

00:46:35.170 --> 00:46:37.489
It's<00:46:35.489><c> not</c><00:46:35.650><c> mentioned</c><00:46:35.949><c> once</c><00:46:36.309><c> in</c><00:46:36.489><c> Leviticus.</c>

Excuse<00:46:44.690><c> me,</c><00:46:44.929><c> it</c><00:46:44.949><c> is.</c>

00:46:45.409 --> 00:46:47.409
Leviticus<00:46:46.070><c> has</c><00:46:46.210><c> been</c><00:46:46.389><c> rubbed</c><00:46:46.670><c> off,</c><00:46:46.809><c> I'm</c><00:46:47.110><c> sorry.</c>

00:46:47.809 --> 00:46:49.550
There's<00:46:47.909><c> I</c><00:46:48.030><c> think</c><00:46:48.190><c> about</c><00:46:48.389><c> three</c><00:46:48.889><c> in</c><00:46:49.070><c> Leviticus</c>

And<00:46:54.050><c> I</c><00:46:54.230><c> think</c><00:46:54.449><c> one</c><00:46:54.849><c> in</c><00:46:55.110><c> Genesis.</c>

00:46:57.269 --> 00:46:59.769
The<00:46:57.789><c> comparison</c><00:46:58.309><c> that</c><00:46:58.570><c> I</c><00:46:58.730><c> want</c><00:46:58.829><c> to</c><00:46:59.090><c> stress</c><00:46:59.349><c> here</c>

00:46:59.769 --> 00:47:02.730

00:47:07.889 --> 00:47:10.130

00:47:11.530 --> 00:47:12.489
But<00:47:11.630><c> they</c><00:47:11.789><c> don't</c><00:47:12.030><c> represent,</c>

00:47:12.570 --> 00:47:14.030

Genesis<00:47:16.349><c> is</c><00:47:17.010><c> representing</c><00:47:17.530><c> about</c><00:47:17.809><c> one.</c>

00:47:21.010 --> 00:47:22.289
Leviticus<00:47:21.429><c> about</c><00:47:21.690><c> two</c><00:47:21.909><c> or</c><00:47:22.050><c> three.</c>

00:47:22.389 --> 00:47:24.809
And<00:47:22.530><c> numbers,</c><00:47:23.130><c> probably</c><00:47:23.369><c> not</c><00:47:23.650><c> zero,</c><00:47:24.010><c> about</c><00:47:24.349><c> one</c>

00:47:24.809 --> 00:47:26.349
by<00:47:25.309><c> the</c><00:47:25.510><c> fact</c><00:47:25.650><c> that</c><00:47:25.789><c> it</c><00:47:25.969><c> shows</c><00:47:26.130><c> up</c>

00:47:28.610 --> 00:47:30.090
So<00:47:28.869><c> none</c><00:47:29.010><c> of</c><00:47:29.130><c> them</c><00:47:29.230><c> are</c><00:47:29.409><c> above</c><00:47:29.630><c> five.</c>

That's<00:47:30.570><c> the</c><00:47:30.829><c> important</c><00:47:31.090><c> impression.</c>

00:47:32.329 --> 00:47:36.969
