00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:03.680
Good<00:00:03.180><c> morning.</c>

00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:16.320
I'm<00:00:12.060><c> here</c><00:00:12.320><c> with</c><00:00:12.640><c> Kelly,</c><00:00:13.519><c> my</c><00:00:13.740><c> wife,</c><00:00:14.099><c> and</c><00:00:14.320><c> then</c><00:00:14.560><c> our</c><00:00:14.919><c> youngest,</c><00:00:15.500><c> Joshua.</c>

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:19.780
The<00:00:16.660><c> older</c><00:00:16.839><c> two</c><00:00:17.120><c> are</c><00:00:17.359><c> back</c><00:00:17.620><c> in</c><00:00:17.760><c> Michigan</c><00:00:18.079><c> with</c><00:00:19.019><c> the</c><00:00:19.339><c> grandparents,</c>

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.500
so<00:00:20.300><c> they</c><00:00:20.480><c> needed</c><00:00:20.679><c> to</c><00:00:21.160><c> keep</c><00:00:21.300><c> going</c><00:00:21.559><c> to</c><00:00:21.780><c> school.</c>

00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.780
It's<00:00:23.120><c> an</c><00:00:23.260><c> opportunity</c><00:00:23.800><c> for</c><00:00:24.039><c> us</c><00:00:24.339><c> to</c><00:00:24.800><c> get</c><00:00:24.980><c> away,</c><00:00:25.399><c> spend</c><00:00:25.500><c> some</c>

00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:26.699
time<00:00:26.059><c> together,</c>

00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:30.460
and<00:00:27.379><c> obviously</c><00:00:28.480><c> spend</c><00:00:28.760><c> some</c><00:00:29.059><c> time</c><00:00:29.160><c> together</c><00:00:29.500><c> around</c><00:00:29.719><c> God's</c><00:00:30.120><c> Word.</c>

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.200
I<00:00:30.940><c> was</c><00:00:30.940><c> talking</c><00:00:31.059><c> with</c><00:00:31.199><c> Brother</c><00:00:31.420><c> David</c><00:00:31.800><c> right</c><00:00:32.619><c> before</c><00:00:33.280><c> class</c><00:00:33.700><c> started,</c>

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:36.460
and<00:00:34.700><c> just</c><00:00:35.079><c> talking</c><00:00:35.340><c> about</c><00:00:35.520><c> the</c><00:00:35.740><c> fact</c><00:00:35.899><c> that</c><00:00:36.060><c> we</c><00:00:36.119><c> had</c><00:00:36.240><c> a</c><00:00:36.280><c> little</c>

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:37.679
bit<00:00:36.700><c> of</c><00:00:36.740><c> snow</c><00:00:36.920><c> on</c><00:00:37.079><c> the</c><00:00:37.259><c> ground</c>

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.479
when<00:00:38.259><c> we</c><00:00:38.460><c> were</c><00:00:38.600><c> coming</c><00:00:38.799><c> down,</c><00:00:39.179><c> so</c><00:00:39.420><c> it's</c><00:00:39.679><c> an</c><00:00:39.799><c> opportunity</c><00:00:40.299><c> for</c>

00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:40.960
us<00:00:40.679><c> as</c><00:00:40.840><c> well</c>

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.359
to<00:00:41.140><c> enjoy</c><00:00:41.700><c> a</c><00:00:42.079><c> little</c><00:00:42.420><c> warm</c><00:00:42.780><c> weather</c><00:00:43.100><c> before</c><00:00:43.679><c> winter</c><00:00:44.000><c> comes.</c>

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.219
And<00:00:44.659><c> not</c><00:00:44.759><c> only</c><00:00:44.939><c> the</c><00:00:45.179><c> warmth</c><00:00:45.320><c> of</c><00:00:45.560><c> weather,</c><00:00:45.820><c> but</c><00:00:45.979><c> obviously</c><00:00:46.820><c> the</c>

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:47.939
warmth<00:00:47.380><c> of</c><00:00:47.600><c> fellowship</c>

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:50.560
as<00:00:48.280><c> we</c><00:00:48.420><c> look</c><00:00:48.560><c> at</c><00:00:48.679><c> the</c><00:00:48.820><c> life</c><00:00:49.039><c> of</c><00:00:49.299><c> Judah</c><00:00:49.500><c> together.</c>

00:00:51.380 --> 00:00:55.640
And<00:00:51.640><c> so</c><00:00:51.719><c> when</c><00:00:51.840><c> you</c><00:00:52.039><c> think</c><00:00:52.179><c> about</c><00:00:52.479><c> the</c><00:00:52.719><c> latter</c><00:00:52.939><c> half</c><00:00:53.520><c> of</c><00:00:54.079><c> the</c><00:00:54.240><c> book</c><00:00:54.399><c> of</c><00:00:54.619><c> Genesis,</c>

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:58.240
one<00:00:56.340><c> character</c><00:00:56.799><c> predominantly</c><00:00:57.299><c> comes</c><00:00:57.619><c> to</c><00:00:57.920><c> mind.</c>

00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.380
If<00:00:58.560><c> you</c><00:00:58.600><c> look</c><00:00:58.780><c> at</c><00:00:58.920><c> chapters</c><00:00:59.340><c> 37</c><00:00:59.960><c> through</c><00:01:00.240><c> 50</c><00:01:00.619><c> and</c><00:01:00.780><c> you</c><00:01:00.880><c> were</c><00:01:00.979><c> to</c><00:01:01.159><c> ask,</c>

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.159
well,<00:01:01.579><c> who</c><00:01:01.719><c> is</c><00:01:01.979><c> that</c><00:01:02.280><c> character?</c>

00:01:03.939 --> 00:01:05.239
I<00:01:04.120><c> think</c><00:01:04.219><c> we'd</c><00:01:04.439><c> all</c><00:01:04.540><c> say</c><00:01:04.700><c> Joseph.</c>

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.480
Joseph<00:01:06.079><c> is</c><00:01:06.319><c> the</c><00:01:06.560><c> character</c><00:01:06.799><c> that</c><00:01:07.079><c> comes</c><00:01:07.319><c> to</c><00:01:07.599><c> mind</c><00:01:07.739><c> because</c>

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.900
Joseph<00:01:09.099><c> is</c><00:01:09.340><c> the</c><00:01:09.480><c> one</c><00:01:09.599><c> that</c><00:01:09.840><c> features</c><00:01:10.200><c> prominently.</c>

00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.700
He's<00:01:11.700><c> the</c><00:01:11.859><c> one</c><00:01:12.000><c> that's</c><00:01:12.420><c> securing</c><00:01:12.859><c> the</c><00:01:13.359><c> salvation</c><00:01:13.840><c> of</c><00:01:14.060><c> his</c><00:01:14.319><c> brothers</c>

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:18.439
as<00:01:15.140><c> he</c><00:01:15.840><c> develops</c><00:01:16.280><c> and</c><00:01:16.540><c> as</c><00:01:16.739><c> he</c><00:01:16.959><c> grows</c><00:01:17.219><c> in</c><00:01:17.480><c> Egypt.</c>

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:21.719
But<00:01:19.299><c> Scripture</c><00:01:19.560><c> is</c><00:01:19.799><c> also</c><00:01:20.079><c> developing</c><00:01:20.780><c> contemporaneously</c>

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:22.920
with<00:01:22.239><c> Joseph</c>

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.420
the<00:01:23.560><c> development</c><00:01:23.939><c> of</c><00:01:24.299><c> the</c><00:01:24.480><c> rest</c><00:01:24.739><c> of</c><00:01:24.939><c> Joseph's</c><00:01:25.420><c> brethren,</c>

00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.280
primarily<00:01:26.980><c> Judah.</c>

00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:32.140
And<00:01:29.599><c> so</c><00:01:29.719><c> even</c><00:01:29.900><c> though</c><00:01:30.140><c> it's</c><00:01:30.500><c> Joseph</c><00:01:30.739><c> who</c><00:01:30.980><c> features</c><00:01:31.480><c> predominantly,</c>

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.879
there's<00:01:32.819><c> a</c><00:01:32.920><c> lot</c><00:01:33.060><c> that</c><00:01:33.239><c> we</c><00:01:33.319><c> can</c><00:01:33.579><c> gain</c><00:01:33.719><c> by</c><00:01:33.980><c> taking</c><00:01:34.280><c> a</c><00:01:34.439><c> look</c><00:01:34.540><c> at</c><00:01:34.680><c> the</c><00:01:34.879><c> life</c><00:01:35.620><c> of</c><00:01:36.060><c> Judah.</c>

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:41.959
Have<00:01:37.799><c> you</c><00:01:37.920><c> ever</c><00:01:38.140><c> wondered</c><00:01:38.640><c> why</c><00:01:39.239><c> it</c><00:01:39.420><c> is</c><00:01:39.680><c> that</c><00:01:40.439><c> the</c><00:01:40.700><c> tribe</c><00:01:40.980><c> of</c><00:01:41.579><c> Judah</c>

00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.519
is<00:01:42.700><c> the</c><00:01:42.879><c> one</c><00:01:43.060><c> through</c><00:01:43.420><c> whom</c><00:01:43.680><c> the</c><00:01:44.019><c> Messiah</c><00:01:44.359><c> would</c><00:01:44.620><c> come?</c>

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.640
Why<00:01:45.920><c> not</c><00:01:46.140><c> the</c><00:01:46.319><c> tribe</c><00:01:46.519><c> of</c><00:01:46.799><c> Joseph?</c>

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.980
Why<00:01:48.060><c> is</c><00:01:48.260><c> it</c><00:01:48.379><c> that</c><00:01:48.459><c> in</c><00:01:48.620><c> the</c><00:01:48.819><c> kingdom,</c><00:01:49.599><c> the</c><00:01:49.780><c> kingdom</c><00:01:49.959><c> would</c><00:01:50.180><c> be</c><00:01:50.459><c> established</c>

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.500
Why<00:01:57.359><c> is</c><00:01:57.560><c> it</c><00:01:57.680><c> that</c><00:01:57.859><c> kingship</c><00:01:58.420><c> comes</c><00:01:58.719><c> through</c><00:01:59.000><c> the</c><00:01:59.180><c> tribe</c><00:01:59.700><c> of</c><00:02:00.140><c> Judah</c>

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.079
See,<00:02:04.459><c> these</c><00:02:04.659><c> questions</c><00:02:05.019><c> reveal</c><00:02:05.420><c> that</c><00:02:05.560><c> there's</c><00:02:05.840><c> something</c><00:02:06.099><c> more</c><00:02:06.480><c> to</c><00:02:06.879><c> consider</c>

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:10.819

00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:13.759
because<00:02:11.120><c> we</c><00:02:11.340><c> really</c><00:02:11.580><c> can't</c><00:02:11.780><c> take</c><00:02:12.020><c> anything</c><00:02:12.340><c> away</c><00:02:12.659><c> from</c><00:02:12.840><c> Joseph,</c><00:02:13.259><c> can</c><00:02:13.439><c> we?</c>

00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.639
You<00:02:18.979><c> simply</c><00:02:19.340><c> can't.</c>

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.780

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.400

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:42.840
Sometimes<00:02:40.900><c> you</c><00:02:41.060><c> hear</c><00:02:41.280><c> studies</c><00:02:41.659><c> and</c><00:02:41.840><c> it</c><00:02:42.060><c> seems</c><00:02:42.259><c> almost</c><00:02:42.520><c> like</c><00:02:42.740><c> a</c>

00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:48.879
worth<00:02:46.879><c> really</c><00:02:47.360><c> taking</c><00:02:47.580><c> a</c><00:02:47.740><c> look</c><00:02:47.900><c> at.</c>

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:50.960
Well,<00:02:49.199><c> just</c><00:02:49.360><c> consider,</c><00:02:49.939><c> for</c><00:02:50.080><c> example,</c><00:02:50.500><c> in</c><00:02:50.599><c> the</c><00:02:50.780><c> account</c>

00:13:15.299 --> 00:13:16.580
And<00:13:15.460><c> he</c><00:13:15.600><c> took</c><00:13:15.759><c> Leah</c><00:13:16.019><c> instead,</c>

00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.340

00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.299
And<00:13:19.879><c> Jacob</c><00:13:20.039><c> was</c><00:13:20.299><c> furious.</c>

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:23.820
How<00:13:21.799><c> could</c><00:13:21.960><c> you</c><00:13:22.100><c> do</c><00:13:22.259><c> this</c><00:13:22.539><c> thing</c><00:13:22.659><c> to</c><00:13:22.879><c> me?</c>

00:13:24.139 --> 00:13:26.340

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:28.440
I<00:13:26.580><c> guess</c><00:13:26.759><c> you</c><00:13:26.879><c> didn't</c><00:13:27.059><c> know</c><00:13:27.279><c> that.</c>

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:30.320

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.019
And<00:13:38.059><c> so</c><00:13:38.200><c> in</c><00:13:38.419><c> one</c><00:13:38.620><c> week's</c><00:13:39.100><c> time,</c>

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:44.259
Rachel<00:13:42.980><c> and</c><00:13:43.159><c> Leah,</c><00:13:43.500><c> two</c><00:13:43.840><c> sisters,</c>

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.679
one<00:13:44.620><c> who</c><00:13:44.899><c> has</c><00:13:45.539><c> loved</c><00:13:46.019><c> Rachel</c>

00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:50.419
and<00:13:47.659><c> one</c><00:13:47.860><c> who</c><00:13:48.100><c> has</c><00:13:48.659><c> hated</c><00:13:48.899><c> Leah.</c>

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.440
But<00:13:51.759><c> the</c><00:13:51.899><c> thing</c><00:13:52.019><c> that</c><00:13:52.200><c> Leah</c><00:13:52.360><c> had</c><00:13:52.639><c> going</c><00:13:52.940><c> for</c><00:13:53.279><c> her,</c>

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.600
even<00:13:53.620><c> though</c><00:13:53.799><c> she</c><00:13:53.960><c> didn't</c><00:13:54.159><c> have</c><00:13:54.340><c> the</c><00:13:54.559><c> love</c><00:13:54.720><c> of</c><00:13:54.919><c> her</c><00:13:55.100><c> husband,</c>

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.500
is<00:13:56.340><c> that</c><00:13:56.539><c> God</c><00:13:56.820><c> had</c><00:13:57.159><c> opened</c><00:13:57.340><c> her</c><00:13:57.659><c> womb.</c>

00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:00.860
And<00:13:59.039><c> this</c><00:13:59.200><c> was</c><00:13:59.440><c> the</c><00:13:59.639><c> means</c><00:13:59.919><c> by</c><00:14:00.179><c> which</c><00:14:00.360><c> she</c><00:14:00.639><c> thought</c>

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:04.580
that<00:14:01.059><c> she</c><00:14:01.159><c> could</c><00:14:01.360><c> procure</c><00:14:01.840><c> the</c><00:14:02.539><c> love</c><00:14:02.720><c> of</c><00:14:02.919><c> her</c><00:14:03.120><c> husband,</c><00:14:03.559><c> Jacob.</c>

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.659
And<00:14:05.019><c> so</c><00:14:05.559><c> Leah</c><00:14:05.720><c> tries</c><00:14:06.139><c> desperately</c>

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:09.039
to<00:14:07.039><c> gain</c><00:14:07.259><c> the</c><00:14:07.480><c> love</c><00:14:07.679><c> of</c><00:14:07.860><c> her</c><00:14:08.039><c> husband,</c>

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.879
but<00:14:09.960><c> sadly</c><00:14:10.320><c> she</c><00:14:10.559><c> finds</c><00:14:11.139><c> that</c><00:14:11.840><c> she</c><00:14:12.019><c> cannot.</c>

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:14.840
And<00:14:13.720><c> you</c><00:14:13.799><c> can</c><00:14:13.980><c> see</c><00:14:14.080><c> the</c><00:14:14.399><c> storyline</c>

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:16.879
of<00:14:15.139><c> what</c><00:14:15.340><c> it</c><00:14:15.500><c> was</c><00:14:15.720><c> that</c><00:14:15.980><c> Leah</c><00:14:16.159><c> went</c><00:14:16.419><c> through</c>

00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.120
as<00:14:17.480><c> she</c><00:14:17.799><c> tried</c><00:14:18.039><c> to</c><00:14:18.320><c> gain</c><00:14:18.519><c> the</c><00:14:18.720><c> love</c><00:14:18.919><c> of</c><00:14:19.100><c> her</c><00:14:19.279><c> husband.</c>

00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:22.440
She<00:14:21.039><c> has</c><00:14:21.320><c> a</c><00:14:21.539><c> son,</c>

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.080
and<00:14:23.100><c> she</c><00:14:23.259><c> names</c><00:14:23.480><c> him</c><00:14:23.740><c> Reuben.</c>

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.360
See,<00:14:25.360><c> a</c><00:14:25.500><c> son.</c>

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:28.419
Now<00:14:26.879><c> my</c><00:14:27.159><c> husband</c><00:14:27.539><c> will</c><00:14:27.779><c> love</c><00:14:27.980><c> me</c>

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:29.879
because<00:14:28.820><c> I've</c><00:14:29.159><c> given</c><00:14:29.320><c> him</c><00:14:29.580><c> a</c><00:14:29.720><c> son.</c>

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.720
I've<00:14:30.159><c> given</c><00:14:30.299><c> him</c><00:14:30.539><c> an</c><00:14:30.740><c> inheritance.</c>

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:36.000
The<00:14:32.919><c> problem</c><00:14:33.240><c> was</c><00:14:33.519><c> that</c><00:14:34.340><c> he</c><00:14:34.639><c> didn't</c><00:14:34.840><c> love</c><00:14:35.139><c> her.</c>

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.519
Despite<00:14:36.799><c> giving</c><00:14:37.179><c> him</c><00:14:37.440><c> a</c><00:14:37.639><c> son,</c>

00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.399
she<00:14:39.200><c> continues</c><00:14:39.779><c> to</c><00:14:40.039><c> pray</c><00:14:40.240><c> to</c><00:14:40.440><c> God,</c>

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:42.720
and<00:14:41.700><c> God</c><00:14:41.919><c> hears</c><00:14:42.240><c> her.</c>

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.100
And<00:14:43.019><c> so</c><00:14:43.159><c> she</c><00:14:43.340><c> names</c><00:14:43.600><c> her</c><00:14:43.899><c> second</c><00:14:44.159><c> son</c><00:14:44.480><c> Simeon.</c>

00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:46.720
God<00:14:45.840><c> has</c><00:14:46.139><c> heard</c><00:14:46.360><c> me,</c>

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.299
and<00:14:46.980><c> now</c><00:14:47.259><c> my</c><00:14:47.460><c> husband</c><00:14:47.759><c> will</c><00:14:48.000><c> love</c><00:14:48.139><c> me.</c>

00:14:49.500 --> 00:14:51.740
But<00:14:49.860><c> he</c><00:14:50.100><c> still</c><00:14:50.279><c> didn't</c><00:14:50.480><c> love</c><00:14:50.659><c> her.</c>

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:55.480
Then<00:14:52.460><c> she</c><00:14:52.639><c> has</c><00:14:52.899><c> a</c><00:14:53.100><c> third</c><00:14:53.360><c> son,</c><00:14:54.659><c> Levi.</c>

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:58.299
Now<00:14:55.779><c> my</c><00:14:56.039><c> husband</c><00:14:56.399><c> will</c><00:14:56.639><c> be</c><00:14:57.000><c> joined</c><00:14:57.259><c> to</c><00:14:57.500><c> me,</c>

00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:00.960
but<00:14:59.080><c> he</c><00:14:59.320><c> wasn't</c><00:14:59.580><c> joined</c><00:14:59.919><c> to</c><00:15:00.100><c> her.</c>

00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.940
And<00:15:01.259><c> so</c><00:15:01.480><c> time</c><00:15:01.820><c> and</c><00:15:02.019><c> time</c><00:15:02.320><c> again,</c>

00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.080
Leah<00:15:03.379><c> goes</c><00:15:03.720><c> through</c><00:15:03.940><c> this</c><00:15:04.200><c> process</c><00:15:04.580><c> of</c><00:15:04.860><c> thinking</c>

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.860
that<00:15:05.299><c> by</c><00:15:05.559><c> simply</c><00:15:05.879><c> having</c><00:15:06.159><c> more</c><00:15:06.559><c> sons,</c>

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:08.320
by<00:15:07.419><c> giving</c><00:15:07.700><c> an</c><00:15:07.919><c> inheritance,</c>

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.659
filling<00:15:08.919><c> up</c><00:15:09.200><c> the</c><00:15:09.399><c> quiver</c><00:15:09.620><c> of</c><00:15:09.860><c> Jacob</c><00:15:10.100><c> with</c><00:15:10.360><c> these</c><00:15:10.700><c> sons,</c>

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:14.440
that<00:15:12.500><c> he'll</c><00:15:12.740><c> be</c><00:15:12.960><c> able</c><00:15:13.100><c> to</c><00:15:13.320><c> love</c><00:15:13.480><c> her.</c>

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.480
But<00:15:15.879><c> she</c><00:15:16.039><c> comes</c><00:15:16.299><c> to</c><00:15:16.519><c> a</c><00:15:16.700><c> fourth</c><00:15:16.919><c> son,</c><00:15:17.940><c> to</c><00:15:18.179><c> Judah,</c>

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.679
This<00:16:05.320><c> is</c><00:16:05.580><c> where</c><00:16:05.759><c> Leah</c><00:16:06.019><c> was</c><00:16:06.279><c> going</c><00:16:06.600><c> in</c><00:16:06.779><c> her</c><00:16:07.019><c> own</c><00:16:07.279><c> mind</c>

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:21.139
But<00:16:18.159><c> we</c><00:16:18.299><c> know</c><00:16:18.440><c> that</c><00:16:18.580><c> she</c><00:16:18.700><c> didn't</c><00:16:19.100><c> quite</c><00:16:19.399><c> stay</c><00:16:19.720><c> in</c><00:16:19.860><c> that</c><00:16:20.019><c> position,</c><00:16:20.519><c> did</c><00:16:20.600><c> she?</c>

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:24.259
Because<00:16:22.000><c> Rachel</c><00:16:22.340><c> catches</c><00:16:22.720><c> wind</c><00:16:23.139><c> of</c><00:16:23.620><c> what's</c><00:16:23.980><c> happening,</c>

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.139
And<00:16:31.700><c> so</c><00:16:31.779><c> at</c><00:16:31.919><c> the</c><00:16:32.019><c> beginning</c><00:16:32.259><c> of</c><00:16:32.480><c> chapter</c><00:16:32.820><c> 30,</c>

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.639
she<00:16:33.320><c> comes</c><00:16:33.559><c> to</c><00:16:33.820><c> Jacob,</c><00:16:34.340><c> give</c><00:16:34.539><c> me</c><00:16:34.820><c> children,</c><00:16:35.220><c> else</c><00:16:35.440><c> I</c><00:16:35.700><c> die.</c>

00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.320
Jacob<00:16:37.480><c> says,</c><00:16:37.720><c> I'm</c><00:16:37.779><c> not</c><00:16:37.919><c> in</c><00:16:38.019><c> the</c><00:16:38.179><c> place</c><00:16:38.360><c> of</c><00:16:38.580><c> God.</c>

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:41.480
I<00:16:39.539><c> can't</c><00:16:39.720><c> give</c><00:16:39.860><c> you</c><00:16:40.100><c> children,</c><00:16:40.320><c> that's</c><00:16:40.580><c> up</c><00:16:40.740><c> for</c><00:16:40.879><c> God</c><00:16:41.080><c> to</c><00:16:41.299><c> do.</c>

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.840
So<00:16:42.120><c> she</c><00:16:42.320><c> says,</c><00:16:42.779><c> well,</c><00:16:42.820><c> I'll</c><00:16:43.000><c> figure</c><00:16:43.200><c> this</c><00:16:43.480><c> out.</c>

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:46.259
So<00:16:44.120><c> she</c><00:16:44.320><c> takes</c><00:16:44.580><c> her</c><00:16:44.799><c> handmaid</c><00:16:45.179><c> Bilha,</c>

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.399
God<00:16:56.659><c> has</c><00:16:57.120><c> judged</c><00:16:57.419><c> me,</c><00:16:57.919><c> and</c><00:16:58.100><c> I</c><00:16:58.240><c> am</c><00:16:58.519><c> right.</c>

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.159
And<00:16:59.840><c> she</c><00:16:59.980><c> can</c><00:17:00.399><c> go</c><00:17:00.740><c> down</c><00:17:00.940><c> this</c><00:17:01.200><c> pathway</c><00:17:01.659><c> of</c><00:17:01.960><c> thinking</c>

I<00:17:08.880><c> have</c><00:17:09.259><c> wrestled</c><00:17:09.660><c> with</c><00:17:09.859><c> my</c><00:17:10.160><c> sister,</c>

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.819

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:19.559
So<00:17:17.640><c> now</c><00:17:17.839><c> there's</c><00:17:18.099><c> four</c><00:17:18.440><c> wives</c><00:17:18.759><c> in</c><00:17:18.920><c> the</c><00:17:19.119><c> family,</c>

We've<00:20:40.619><c> got</c><00:20:40.700><c> to</c><00:20:40.839><c> leave</c><00:20:41.000><c> this</c><00:20:41.299><c> place.</c>

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:44.680
He<00:20:42.500><c> doesn't</c><00:20:42.720><c> tell</c><00:20:42.980><c> Laban</c><00:20:43.240><c> what</c><00:20:43.380><c> he's</c><00:20:43.660><c> doing</c><00:20:43.819><c> because</c><00:20:44.119><c> he</c><00:20:44.319><c> knows</c><00:20:44.519><c> if</c>

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:47.900
Laban<00:20:45.779><c> will</c><00:20:46.000><c> find</c><00:20:46.299><c> some</c><00:20:46.539><c> other</c><00:20:46.700><c> way</c><00:20:46.859><c> to</c><00:20:47.099><c> deceive</c><00:20:47.339><c> him.</c>

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:50.480

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.079
and<00:20:50.579><c> we</c><00:20:50.720><c> know</c><00:20:50.839><c> the</c><00:20:50.980><c> whole</c><00:20:51.160><c> exchange</c><00:20:51.559><c> that</c><00:20:51.799><c> occurs,</c>

You've<00:22:28.359><c> made</c><00:22:28.460><c> me</c><00:22:28.839><c> stink</c><00:22:29.039><c> before</c><00:22:29.339><c> the</c><00:22:29.660><c> inhabitants</c><00:22:29.980><c> of</c><00:22:30.160><c> the</c><00:22:30.339><c> land.</c>

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.180
There's<00:22:34.700><c> a</c><00:22:34.819><c> perception</c><00:22:35.400><c> that</c><00:22:35.980><c> Jacob</c><00:22:36.240><c> doesn't</c><00:22:36.539><c> care</c><00:22:36.859><c> at</c><00:22:37.039><c> all</c>

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:43.779
And<00:22:41.160><c> so</c><00:22:41.299><c> Simeon</c><00:22:41.640><c> and</c><00:22:41.799><c> Levi</c><00:22:42.079><c> see</c><00:22:42.359><c> that</c><00:22:42.539><c> it's</c><00:22:42.960><c> their</c><00:22:43.220><c> position</c>

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.980
But<00:22:46.839><c> this</c><00:22:47.019><c> is</c><00:22:47.160><c> what</c><00:22:47.359><c> Judah</c><00:22:47.539><c> saw,</c>

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:50.640

In<00:23:44.779><c> fact,</c><00:23:45.019><c> we're</c><00:23:45.220><c> really</c><00:23:45.420><c> not</c><00:23:45.579><c> even</c><00:23:45.839><c> introduced</c><00:23:46.259><c> to</c><00:23:46.480><c> him</c><00:23:46.619><c> until</c><00:23:47.319><c> Genesis</c><00:23:47.759><c> 37.</c>

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.859
Besides<00:23:48.920><c> hearing</c><00:23:49.640><c> that</c><00:23:49.799><c> he</c><00:23:49.900><c> was</c><00:23:50.160><c> born</c><00:23:50.579><c> and</c><00:23:51.259><c> learning</c><00:23:51.500><c> of</c><00:23:51.720><c> his</c><00:23:51.960><c> name,</c>

00:23:58.859 --> 00:24:01.960
So<00:23:59.140><c> what</c><00:23:59.339><c> was</c><00:23:59.559><c> it</c><00:23:59.680><c> that</c><00:23:59.799><c> he</c><00:23:59.940><c> was</c><00:24:00.180><c> taking</c><00:24:00.460><c> away</c><00:24:00.839><c> from</c><00:24:01.099><c> everything?</c>

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:05.119

00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:09.299
Well,<00:24:06.460><c> when</c><00:24:06.619><c> we</c><00:24:06.819><c> come</c><00:24:06.980><c> to</c><00:24:07.140><c> Genesis</c><00:24:07.559><c> chapter</c><00:24:08.059><c> 37,</c>

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:14.160
it's<00:24:09.740><c> very</c><00:24:10.059><c> likely</c><00:24:10.339><c> that</c><00:24:10.599><c> Judah</c><00:24:10.799><c> is</c><00:24:11.099><c> approximately</c><00:24:12.099><c> 39</c><00:24:12.859><c> years</c><00:24:13.200><c> old.</c>

00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:19.259
But<00:24:14.920><c> sadly,</c><00:24:16.380><c> he's</c><00:24:16.680><c> not</c><00:24:17.039><c> reckoned</c><00:24:17.420><c> to</c><00:24:17.619><c> be</c><00:24:17.799><c> one</c><00:24:17.980><c> of</c><00:24:18.079><c> the</c><00:24:18.259><c> children</c><00:24:18.599><c> of</c><00:24:18.779><c> Israel</c><00:24:19.099><c> at</c>

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:20.299
this<00:24:19.519><c> point.</c>

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:24.720

00:26:27.339 --> 00:26:29.900

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.819
The<00:31:26.819><c> challenge</c><00:31:27.200><c> becomes</c><00:31:27.579><c> how</c><00:31:27.819><c> do</c><00:31:28.039><c> we</c><00:31:28.160><c> deal</c><00:31:28.359><c> with</c><00:31:28.579><c> that</c><00:31:28.839><c> conflict?</c>

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.640
Because<00:31:30.319><c> it's</c><00:31:30.579><c> the</c><00:31:30.799><c> conflict,</c><00:31:31.259><c> it's</c><00:31:31.359><c> the</c><00:31:31.599><c> trial</c><00:31:31.799><c> that</c><00:31:32.000><c> God</c><00:31:32.220><c> uses</c>

00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.839
to<00:31:33.079><c> bring</c><00:31:33.480><c> to</c><00:31:33.700><c> the</c><00:31:33.900><c> surface</c><00:31:34.579><c> the</c><00:31:35.640><c> things</c>

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.380
that<00:31:36.059><c> we</c><00:31:36.319><c> still</c><00:31:36.539><c> need</c><00:31:36.680><c> to</c><00:31:36.940><c> work</c><00:31:37.140><c> on.</c>

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.980
It's<00:31:37.960><c> what</c><00:31:38.140><c> allows</c><00:31:38.500><c> us</c><00:31:38.819><c> to</c><00:31:39.160><c> see</c><00:31:39.599><c> what</c><00:31:40.140><c> he</c><00:31:40.500><c> sees</c>

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:45.000
so<00:31:41.859><c> that</c><00:31:42.099><c> we</c><00:31:42.240><c> might</c><00:31:42.440><c> have</c><00:31:42.680><c> the</c><00:31:42.859><c> opportunity</c><00:31:43.400><c> to</c><00:31:43.779><c> change</c><00:31:44.059><c> it.</c>

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:46.579
The<00:31:45.259><c> problem</c><00:31:45.579><c> though</c><00:31:45.720><c> in</c><00:31:45.839><c> this</c><00:31:46.099><c> family</c>

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:49.900
is<00:31:47.539><c> the</c><00:31:47.680><c> way</c><00:31:47.819><c> that</c><00:31:47.960><c> it</c><00:31:48.059><c> was</c><00:31:48.279><c> dealt</c><00:31:48.440><c> with</c><00:31:48.619><c> and</c><00:31:48.759><c> what</c><00:31:48.920><c> it</c><00:31:49.160><c> engendered.</c>

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:52.279
See,<00:31:50.720><c> Leah</c><00:31:50.839><c> was</c><00:31:51.140><c> hated</c><00:31:51.480><c> by</c><00:31:51.819><c> Rachel.</c>

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:58.220
And<00:31:53.220><c> so</c><00:31:53.500><c> Leah's</c><00:31:53.880><c> children</c><00:31:54.779><c> hated</c><00:31:55.319><c> Rachel's</c><00:31:56.039><c> child</c><00:31:56.420><c> as</c><00:31:57.160><c> a</c><00:31:57.380><c> result.</c>

00:31:58.420 --> 00:32:01.599
You<00:31:58.500><c> see</c><00:31:58.599><c> how</c><00:31:58.799><c> that</c><00:31:59.039><c> whole</c><00:31:59.700><c> transitive</c><00:32:00.279><c> property</c><00:32:00.740><c> works</c><00:32:01.119><c> there</c>

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:03.920
when<00:32:02.079><c> there's</c><00:32:02.319><c> not</c><00:32:02.559><c> the</c><00:32:02.799><c> willingness</c><00:32:03.140><c> to</c><00:32:03.420><c> move</c><00:32:03.660><c> forward,</c>

00:32:03.940 --> 00:32:06.200
the<00:32:04.160><c> willingness</c><00:32:04.599><c> to</c><00:32:05.259><c> forgive.</c>

00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:09.039
Rachel<00:32:06.740><c> envied</c><00:32:07.259><c> Leah's</c><00:32:07.700><c> children</c><00:32:07.940><c> due</c><00:32:08.180><c> to</c><00:32:08.420><c> the</c><00:32:08.660><c> position</c>

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:10.920
that<00:32:09.240><c> they</c><00:32:09.400><c> had</c><00:32:09.579><c> in</c><00:32:09.740><c> the</c><00:32:09.960><c> family.</c>

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:14.619
And<00:32:11.359><c> Leah's</c><00:32:11.759><c> children</c><00:32:12.039><c> ended</c><00:32:12.279><c> up</c><00:32:12.720><c> envying</c><00:32:13.539><c> Joseph.</c>

00:32:14.819 --> 00:32:18.660
It<00:32:15.019><c> becomes</c><00:32:15.380><c> this</c><00:32:15.920><c> nasty</c><00:32:16.299><c> circle</c><00:32:16.720><c> that</c><00:32:17.019><c> continues</c><00:32:17.440><c> on</c><00:32:17.779><c> throughout</c><00:32:18.039><c> time.</c>

00:32:19.059 --> 00:32:21.539
But<00:32:19.220><c> it</c><00:32:19.400><c> really</c><00:32:19.720><c> reinforces</c><00:32:20.400><c> to</c><00:32:20.599><c> us</c><00:32:20.819><c> the</c><00:32:21.039><c> impetus</c>

00:32:21.539 --> 00:32:24.920
to<00:32:22.200><c> make</c><00:32:22.460><c> sure</c><00:32:22.740><c> that</c><00:32:22.900><c> we're</c><00:32:23.079><c> dealing</c><00:32:23.380><c> with</c><00:32:23.680><c> things</c><00:32:24.180><c> appropriately</c>

00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.000
so<00:32:25.619><c> that</c><00:32:25.799><c> the</c><00:32:26.000><c> next</c><00:32:26.240><c> generation,</c>

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:29.160
which<00:32:27.640><c> is</c><00:32:27.839><c> going</c><00:32:27.960><c> to</c><00:32:28.119><c> have</c><00:32:28.279><c> their</c><00:32:28.500><c> own</c><00:32:28.759><c> struggles,</c>

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:31.259
their<00:32:29.799><c> own</c><00:32:30.059><c> challenges,</c>

00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:34.599
doesn't<00:32:31.619><c> unnecessarily</c><00:32:32.720><c> need</c><00:32:32.900><c> to</c><00:32:33.160><c> take</c><00:32:33.319><c> on</c><00:32:33.619><c> additional</c><00:32:34.119><c> baggage</c>

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.759
as<00:32:35.140><c> they</c><00:32:35.400><c> try</c><00:32:35.599><c> to</c><00:32:35.819><c> live</c><00:32:35.940><c> their</c><00:32:36.140><c> life</c><00:32:36.400><c> in</c><00:32:36.559><c> the</c><00:32:36.779><c> truth.</c>

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:41.180
So<00:32:38.519><c> what</c><00:32:38.759><c> does</c><00:32:39.140><c> Judah</c><00:32:39.339><c> do</c><00:32:39.539><c> with</c><00:32:39.720><c> this</c><00:32:39.980><c> baggage</c><00:32:40.400><c> that</c><00:32:40.980><c> he's</c>

00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:42.200
been<00:32:41.440><c> given?</c>

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.779
What<00:32:42.519><c> does</c><00:32:42.799><c> he</c><00:32:43.380><c> proceed</c><00:32:43.819><c> to</c><00:32:44.079><c> do</c><00:32:44.440><c> in</c><00:32:44.859><c> chapter</c><00:32:45.220><c> 37?</c>

00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:47.440
Well,<00:32:46.000><c> we</c><00:32:46.119><c> know</c><00:32:46.279><c> what</c><00:32:46.420><c> he</c><00:32:46.579><c> does.</c>

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:51.960
He<00:32:48.279><c> sees</c><00:32:48.539><c> an</c><00:32:48.720><c> opportunity</c><00:32:49.279><c> to</c><00:32:49.680><c> seize</c><00:32:50.200><c> on</c><00:32:50.759><c> the</c><00:32:50.940><c> inheritance.</c>

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:55.859
Joseph<00:32:53.039><c> was</c><00:32:53.539><c> the</c><00:32:53.700><c> thing</c><00:32:53.859><c> that</c><00:32:54.019><c> was</c><00:32:54.299><c> standing</c><00:32:54.539><c> in</c><00:32:54.740><c> his</c><00:32:54.980><c> way.</c>

00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:58.819
Joseph<00:32:56.480><c> was</c><00:32:56.799><c> the</c><00:32:57.000><c> problem</c><00:32:57.339><c> here</c><00:32:57.680><c> as</c><00:32:57.960><c> he</c><00:32:58.180><c> perceived</c><00:32:58.519><c> it.</c>

00:32:59.059 --> 00:33:01.579
And<00:32:59.160><c> if</c><00:32:59.259><c> he</c><00:32:59.420><c> could</c><00:32:59.599><c> simply</c><00:32:59.960><c> remove</c><00:33:00.460><c> Joseph,</c>

00:33:01.700 --> 00:33:03.180
then<00:33:01.900><c> he</c><00:33:02.019><c> would</c><00:33:02.180><c> have</c><00:33:02.359><c> the</c><00:33:02.559><c> opportunity</c>

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:07.079
to<00:33:03.940><c> take</c><00:33:04.200><c> the</c><00:33:04.359><c> position</c><00:33:04.720><c> of</c><00:33:04.980><c> leadership</c><00:33:05.319><c> that</c><00:33:05.539><c> he</c><00:33:05.779><c> truly</c><00:33:06.059><c> desired.</c>

00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:10.279
And<00:33:07.359><c> this</c><00:33:07.559><c> opportunity</c><00:33:08.079><c> presents</c><00:33:08.519><c> itself</c><00:33:08.980><c> in</c><00:33:09.180><c> chapter</c><00:33:09.480><c> 37</c>

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:12.380
and<00:33:10.880><c> verse</c><00:33:11.200><c> 18.</c>

00:33:12.619 --> 00:33:16.059
Here<00:33:12.880><c> comes</c><00:33:13.519><c> the</c><00:33:14.319><c> dreamer.</c>

00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:19.380
Joseph<00:33:16.700><c> is</c><00:33:16.900><c> simply</c><00:33:17.220><c> following</c><00:33:17.599><c> the</c><00:33:17.839><c> will</c><00:33:18.019><c> of</c><00:33:18.240><c> his</c><00:33:18.440><c> father.</c>

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:21.700
But<00:33:20.000><c> now</c><00:33:20.259><c> they</c><00:33:20.420><c> see</c><00:33:20.599><c> him</c><00:33:20.819><c> coming.</c>

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:25.180
And<00:33:22.140><c> before</c><00:33:22.539><c> Joseph</c><00:33:23.039><c> can</c><00:33:23.299><c> even</c><00:33:23.640><c> connect</c><00:33:23.920><c> with</c><00:33:24.099><c> his</c><00:33:24.299><c> brothers,</c>

00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:28.039
they've<00:33:26.140><c> already</c><00:33:26.359><c> begun</c><00:33:26.680><c> to</c><00:33:26.940><c> hatch</c><00:33:27.079><c> a</c><00:33:27.319><c> plan.</c>

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:30.880
The<00:33:28.839><c> initial</c><00:33:29.140><c> plan</c><00:33:29.359><c> is</c><00:33:29.539><c> pretty</c><00:33:29.759><c> rudimentary,</c><00:33:30.400><c> isn't</c><00:33:30.519><c> it?</c>

00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.940
Simply<00:33:31.559><c> take</c><00:33:31.839><c> him,</c><00:33:32.059><c> kill</c><00:33:32.279><c> him,</c><00:33:32.500><c> and</c><00:33:32.720><c> throw</c><00:33:32.880><c> him</c><00:33:32.960><c> in</c><00:33:33.079><c> a</c><00:33:33.220><c> pit.</c>

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:37.000
And<00:33:34.839><c> if</c><00:33:34.940><c> it</c><00:33:35.099><c> weren't</c><00:33:35.200><c> for</c><00:33:35.460><c> Reuben,</c><00:33:35.859><c> that</c><00:33:36.460><c> could</c><00:33:36.819><c> have</c><00:33:36.940><c> been</c>

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.079
what<00:33:37.220><c> happened.</c>

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:40.059
Reuben<00:33:38.539><c> said,</c><00:33:38.799><c> look,</c><00:33:38.920><c> don't</c><00:33:39.119><c> kill</c><00:33:39.339><c> him.</c>

00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:42.220
But<00:33:40.559><c> Reuben</c><00:33:40.799><c> wanders</c><00:33:41.200><c> off,</c><00:33:41.599><c> doesn't</c><00:33:41.740><c> he?</c>

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.240
Nobody<00:33:42.900><c> really</c><00:33:43.160><c> knows</c><00:33:43.400><c> where</c><00:33:43.640><c> Reuben</c><00:33:43.880><c> goes,</c>

00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.319
but<00:33:44.440><c> it's</c><00:33:45.240><c> a</c><00:33:45.359><c> further</c><00:33:45.519><c> example</c><00:33:45.940><c> as</c><00:33:46.119><c> to</c><00:33:46.220><c> why</c><00:33:46.460><c> Reuben</c><00:33:46.700><c> was</c><00:33:47.000><c> unfit</c>

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:48.220
to<00:33:47.500><c> lead.</c>

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:49.160

00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.680

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.279
So<00:34:01.599><c> you</c><00:34:01.680><c> can</c><00:34:01.880><c> see</c><00:34:02.059><c> why</c><00:34:02.279><c> Reuben</c><00:34:02.539><c> is</c><00:34:02.759><c> always</c><00:34:03.000><c> looking</c>

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:11.099
And<00:34:07.960><c> that's</c><00:34:08.239><c> the</c><00:34:08.440><c> defining</c><00:34:08.679><c> feature</c><00:34:09.059><c> that</c><00:34:09.239><c> his</c><00:34:09.400><c> father</c><00:34:09.639><c> points</c><00:34:09.940><c> out</c><00:34:10.199><c> later.</c>

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:15.320
But<00:34:11.619><c> with</c><00:34:11.860><c> Reuben</c><00:34:12.139><c> gone,</c><00:34:13.500><c> the</c><00:34:13.619><c> plan</c><00:34:13.880><c> continues</c><00:34:14.539><c> to</c><00:34:14.960><c> develop</c>

00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:20.340
Because<00:34:18.599><c> as</c><00:34:18.860><c> Joseph</c><00:34:19.159><c> approaches,</c>

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:25.179
he<00:34:20.739><c> can</c><00:34:21.019><c> see</c><00:34:21.199><c> that</c><00:34:21.800><c> his</c><00:34:22.199><c> brothers</c><00:34:22.460><c> don't</c><00:34:22.719><c> meet</c><00:34:22.920><c> him</c><00:34:23.119><c> with</c><00:34:23.300><c> a</c><00:34:23.420><c> look</c><00:34:23.579><c> of</c><00:34:24.179><c> happiness.</c>

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:27.380
Because<00:34:26.360><c> Joseph,</c><00:34:26.800><c> you</c><00:34:26.820><c> can</c><00:34:27.019><c> imagine,</c>

would<00:34:27.599><c> have</c><00:34:27.760><c> been</c><00:34:27.880><c> very</c><00:34:28.260><c> relieved</c><00:34:28.539><c> to</c><00:34:28.800><c> find</c><00:34:28.920><c> his</c><00:34:29.139><c> brothers.</c>

00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.559
He<00:34:29.920><c> goes</c><00:34:30.159><c> to</c><00:34:30.380><c> Shechem,</c><00:34:30.599><c> thinking</c><00:34:30.860><c> that</c><00:34:31.000><c> they're</c><00:34:31.099><c> going</c><00:34:31.219><c> to</c><00:34:31.320><c> be</c><00:34:31.460><c> there.</c>

00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:32.699
Well,<00:34:31.780><c> they're</c><00:34:31.960><c> not</c><00:34:32.159><c> there.</c>

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:34.599
Begins<00:34:33.380><c> to</c><00:34:33.559><c> get</c><00:34:33.739><c> worried.</c><00:34:33.940><c> Well,</c><00:34:34.079><c> where</c><00:34:34.280><c> are</c><00:34:34.440><c> they?</c>

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:36.380
Searching<00:34:35.000><c> all</c><00:34:35.159><c> over</c><00:34:35.340><c> the</c><00:34:35.519><c> place.</c>

00:34:36.659 --> 00:34:38.460
What<00:34:36.739><c> we</c><00:34:36.960><c> presume</c><00:34:37.199><c> to</c><00:34:37.340><c> be</c><00:34:37.460><c> an</c><00:34:37.679><c> angel</c><00:34:37.880><c> finds</c><00:34:38.280><c> him</c>

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:40.380

00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:44.099
So<00:34:40.860><c> he</c><00:34:41.199><c> proceeds</c><00:34:41.559><c> to</c><00:34:41.760><c> go</c><00:34:41.880><c> to</c><00:34:42.039><c> Dothan,</c><00:34:42.360><c> a</c><00:34:42.500><c> number</c><00:34:42.679><c> of</c><00:34:42.940><c> miles</c><00:34:43.179><c> away.</c>

00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:46.219
A<00:34:44.659><c> longer</c><00:34:44.880><c> journey</c><00:34:45.179><c> than</c><00:34:45.340><c> he</c><00:34:45.519><c> had</c><00:34:45.659><c> anticipated.</c>

00:34:46.500 --> 00:34:48.280
And<00:34:46.659><c> so</c><00:34:46.920><c> finally</c><00:34:47.239><c> he</c><00:34:47.440><c> finds</c><00:34:47.800><c> his</c><00:34:48.079><c> brother.</c>

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:49.500

00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:53.119
And<00:34:49.719><c> instead</c><00:34:50.019><c> of</c><00:34:51.099><c> experiencing</c><00:34:51.699><c> the</c><00:34:51.980><c> same</c><00:34:52.199><c> relief,</c>

00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.260

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.719
Have<00:35:00.119><c> you</c><00:35:00.159><c> ever</c><00:35:00.400><c> seen</c><00:35:00.559><c> the</c><00:35:00.760><c> look</c><00:35:00.880><c> in</c><00:35:01.099><c> somebody</c><00:35:01.300><c> else's</c><00:35:01.719><c> eye</c>

when<00:35:03.199><c> you</c><00:35:03.360><c> can</c><00:35:03.559><c> see</c><00:35:03.699><c> that</c><00:35:03.820><c> they</c><00:35:04.059><c> intend</c><00:35:04.340><c> to</c><00:35:04.559><c> do</c><00:35:04.679><c> you</c><00:35:04.900><c> harm?</c>

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.320
And<00:41:01.739><c> it's</c><00:41:01.900><c> worth</c><00:41:02.099><c> asking</c><00:41:02.500><c> ourselves</c><00:41:03.079><c> the</c><00:41:03.340><c> question,</c>

00:41:15.820 --> 00:41:18.179
Because<00:41:16.159><c> the</c><00:41:16.380><c> fact</c><00:41:16.539><c> of</c><00:41:16.719><c> the</c><00:41:16.800><c> matter</c><00:41:17.000><c> is</c><00:41:17.199><c> that</c><00:41:17.340><c> God</c><00:41:17.599><c> is</c><00:41:17.960><c> writing</c>

00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:50.239
What<00:41:47.780><c> are</c><00:41:48.039><c> we</c><00:41:48.280><c> writing</c><00:41:48.519><c> in</c><00:41:48.679><c> that</c><00:41:48.860><c> book</c><00:41:49.019><c> of</c><00:41:49.260><c> remembrance?</c>

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:52.440
And<00:41:50.639><c> what</c><00:41:50.780><c> would</c><00:41:50.920><c> be</c><00:41:51.059><c> that</c><00:41:51.260><c> one</c><00:41:51.500><c> line</c><00:41:51.739><c> introduction</c>

00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:01.699
It's<00:41:59.179><c> worth</c><00:41:59.460><c> asking</c><00:41:59.900><c> that</c><00:42:00.199><c> question</c><00:42:00.820><c> now</c>

00:42:01.699 --> 00:42:04.679

00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.539
God<00:42:10.460><c> is</c><00:42:10.760><c> giving</c><00:42:10.920><c> us</c><00:42:11.300><c> opportunities</c><00:42:11.880><c> continually</c>

But<00:42:26.619><c> Judah,</c><00:42:28.400><c> Judah</c><00:42:28.719><c> at</c><00:42:28.920><c> this</c><00:42:29.159><c> point,</c>

00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:37.900
And<00:42:36.239><c> he'd</c><00:42:36.360><c> go</c><00:42:36.519><c> to</c><00:42:36.679><c> any</c><00:42:36.900><c> lengths</c><00:42:37.119><c> to</c><00:42:37.320><c> pursue</c><00:42:37.579><c> it.</c>

00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:54.760

that<00:43:37.119><c> this</c><00:43:37.340><c> was</c><00:43:37.559><c> their</c><00:43:37.880><c> brother.</c>

00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:40.260
It<00:43:38.500><c> was</c><00:43:39.260><c> your</c><00:43:39.719><c> son,</c><00:43:40.159><c> Dad.</c>

00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:41.639
Is<00:43:40.739><c> this</c><00:43:40.840><c> your</c><00:43:41.079><c> son's</c><00:43:41.440><c> coat?</c>

00:43:41.980 --> 00:43:43.659
You<00:43:42.159><c> ever</c><00:43:42.320><c> seen</c><00:43:42.480><c> this</c><00:43:42.679><c> before?</c>

00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:46.719
You<00:43:45.199><c> think</c><00:43:45.400><c> that</c><00:43:45.579><c> the</c><00:43:45.760><c> brothers,</c>

00:43:47.380 --> 00:43:48.940

00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:52.980
you<00:43:50.900><c> think</c><00:43:51.019><c> they</c><00:43:51.179><c> really</c><00:43:51.480><c> would</c><00:43:51.599><c> have</c><00:43:51.679><c> needed</c><00:43:51.920><c> to</c><00:43:52.119><c> ask</c><00:43:52.360><c> that</c><00:43:52.639><c> question?</c>

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:55.400
Of<00:43:53.460><c> course</c><00:43:53.619><c> they</c><00:43:53.800><c> knew</c><00:43:53.900><c> whose</c><00:43:54.159><c> coat</c><00:43:54.320><c> this</c><00:43:54.559><c> was.</c>

00:43:55.739 --> 00:43:57.840
This<00:43:55.920><c> was</c><00:43:56.139><c> the</c><00:43:56.300><c> object</c><00:43:56.619><c> of</c><00:43:56.760><c> their</c><00:43:56.980><c> hatred.</c>

00:43:58.219 --> 00:43:59.820
You<00:43:58.360><c> could</c><00:43:58.579><c> see</c><00:43:58.679><c> the</c><00:43:58.920><c> complete</c><00:43:59.239><c> callousness</c>

00:43:59.820 --> 00:44:02.619
in<00:43:59.980><c> response</c><00:44:00.519><c> to</c><00:44:00.940><c> what</c><00:44:01.119><c> had</c><00:44:01.300><c> taken</c><00:44:01.480><c> place.</c>

00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.199
And<00:44:04.019><c> look,</c><00:44:04.139><c> it</c><00:44:04.300><c> works.</c>

00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:06.880
Look<00:44:06.159><c> at</c><00:44:06.260><c> what</c><00:44:06.380><c> Jacob</c><00:44:06.679><c> says.</c>

00:44:07.019 --> 00:44:08.900
He<00:44:07.019><c> knew</c><00:44:07.199><c> it</c><00:44:07.440><c> and</c><00:44:07.559><c> said,</c><00:44:07.860><c> It</c><00:44:07.860><c> is</c><00:44:08.039><c> my</c><00:44:08.320><c> son's</c><00:44:08.739><c> coat.</c>

00:44:09.179 --> 00:44:11.739
An<00:44:09.380><c> evil</c><00:44:09.780><c> beast</c><00:44:10.139><c> hath</c><00:44:10.420><c> devoured</c><00:44:10.679><c> him,</c><00:44:10.860><c> not</c><00:44:11.039><c> the</c><00:44:11.280><c> brothers.</c>

00:44:11.739 --> 00:44:15.500
Although<00:44:12.579><c> at</c><00:44:12.800><c> this</c><00:44:13.000><c> point</c><00:44:13.199><c> they</c><00:44:13.360><c> were</c><00:44:13.579><c> acting</c><00:44:13.840><c> like</c><00:44:14.119><c> evil</c><00:44:14.360><c> beasts.</c>

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.559
Joseph<00:44:16.000><c> is</c><00:44:16.260><c> without</c><00:44:16.559><c> doubt</c><00:44:17.340><c> rent</c><00:44:17.820><c> in</c><00:44:18.179><c> pieces.</c>

00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:21.980
Jacob<00:44:19.420><c> rents</c><00:44:20.159><c> his</c><00:44:20.360><c> clothes,</c><00:44:20.760><c> puts</c><00:44:20.960><c> sackcloth</c><00:44:21.400><c> on</c><00:44:21.559><c> his</c><00:44:21.780><c> loins,</c>

00:44:22.059 --> 00:44:25.400
and<00:44:22.159><c> mourns</c><00:44:22.440><c> for</c><00:44:22.679><c> his</c><00:44:22.920><c> son</c><00:44:23.239><c> many</c><00:44:24.260><c> days.</c>

00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:28.400
And<00:44:26.099><c> while</c><00:44:26.239><c> it</c><00:44:26.500><c> appears</c><00:44:26.880><c> to</c><00:44:27.199><c> work</c><00:44:27.420><c> initially,</c>

00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.119
there<00:44:29.340><c> was</c><00:44:29.519><c> a</c><00:44:29.659><c> significant</c><00:44:30.199><c> miscalculation</c>

00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:32.420
on<00:44:31.239><c> the</c><00:44:31.400><c> part</c><00:44:31.539><c> of</c><00:44:31.760><c> Judah.</c>

00:44:32.860 --> 00:44:35.079
And<00:44:33.139><c> the</c><00:44:33.280><c> miscalculation</c><00:44:34.159><c> on</c><00:44:34.280><c> the</c><00:44:34.460><c> part</c><00:44:34.599><c> of</c><00:44:34.820><c> Judah</c>

00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.480
was<00:44:35.679><c> how</c><00:44:36.159><c> significant</c><00:44:36.860><c> of</c><00:44:37.059><c> an</c><00:44:37.320><c> impact</c>

00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.099
this<00:44:37.659><c> would</c><00:44:37.860><c> have</c><00:44:37.980><c> on</c><00:44:38.099><c> his</c><00:44:38.300><c> father.</c>

00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:40.900
See,<00:44:39.519><c> Judah's</c><00:44:39.960><c> thinking</c><00:44:40.280><c> that,</c>

00:44:40.900 --> 00:44:43.300
Yeah,<00:44:41.119><c> Dad's</c><00:44:41.340><c> going</c><00:44:41.440><c> to</c><00:44:41.500><c> be</c><00:44:41.639><c> upset</c><00:44:41.860><c> about</c><00:44:42.079><c> this.</c>

00:44:43.340 --> 00:44:46.360
But<00:44:43.480><c> given</c><00:44:43.679><c> enough</c><00:44:43.940><c> time,</c><00:44:44.219><c> time</c><00:44:44.500><c> will</c><00:44:44.739><c> heal</c><00:44:44.920><c> all</c><00:44:45.280><c> wounds.</c>

00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.639
And<00:44:46.800><c> eventually,</c><00:44:47.920><c> there'll</c><00:44:48.079><c> need</c><00:44:48.199><c> to</c><00:44:48.380><c> be</c><00:44:48.619><c> a</c><00:44:48.820><c> new</c><00:44:48.960><c> person</c>

00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:51.940
that's<00:44:50.199><c> put</c><00:44:50.360><c> in</c><00:44:50.559><c> charge</c><00:44:50.679><c> of</c><00:44:50.820><c> the</c><00:44:51.000><c> family.</c>

00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:54.159
And<00:44:52.559><c> that's</c><00:44:52.760><c> going</c><00:44:52.840><c> to</c><00:44:52.900><c> be</c><00:44:53.039><c> me.</c>

00:44:55.019 --> 00:44:58.719
But<00:44:55.239><c> see,</c><00:44:55.360><c> what</c><00:44:55.480><c> ends</c><00:44:55.679><c> up</c><00:44:56.000><c> happening</c><00:44:56.280><c> due</c><00:44:56.519><c> to</c><00:44:56.679><c> his</c><00:44:56.940><c> miscalculation</c>

00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:02.219
is<00:44:59.239><c> that</c><00:44:59.480><c> he</c><00:44:59.780><c> realizes</c><00:45:00.360><c> that</c><00:45:00.900><c> he's</c><00:45:01.239><c> actually</c><00:45:01.639><c> extinguished</c>

00:45:02.219 --> 00:45:04.039
his<00:45:02.460><c> father's</c><00:45:02.860><c> will</c><00:45:02.960><c> to</c><00:45:03.199><c> live.</c>

00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:06.840
No<00:45:04.920><c> replacement</c><00:45:05.500><c> is</c><00:45:05.739><c> selected</c><00:45:06.139><c> for</c><00:45:06.360><c> Joseph.</c>

00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:11.039
And<00:45:08.079><c> instead,</c><00:45:09.539><c> Jacob</c><00:45:09.679><c> gives</c><00:45:10.219><c> up</c><00:45:10.480><c> on</c><00:45:10.659><c> life.</c>

00:45:11.420 --> 00:45:13.380
Now<00:45:11.739><c> you</c><00:45:11.920><c> will</c><00:45:12.260><c> bring</c><00:45:12.440><c> my</c><00:45:12.760><c> gray</c><00:45:13.059><c> hairs</c>

00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:15.400
down<00:45:13.699><c> to</c><00:45:13.860><c> the</c><00:45:14.039><c> grave</c><00:45:14.219><c> with</c><00:45:14.539><c> sorrow.</c>

00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.760
Everybody<00:45:16.360><c> rises</c><00:45:16.760><c> up</c><00:45:17.039><c> trying</c><00:45:17.340><c> to</c><00:45:17.579><c> comfort</c><00:45:17.820><c> Jacob.</c>

00:45:19.219 --> 00:45:20.800
But<00:45:19.500><c> nobody</c><00:45:19.880><c> can</c><00:45:20.280><c> comfort</c><00:45:20.539><c> him.</c>

00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:24.500
This<00:45:21.400><c> was</c><00:45:21.659><c> his</c><00:45:22.000><c> only</c><00:45:22.440><c> hope</c><00:45:22.940><c> that</c><00:45:23.639><c> Jacob</c><00:45:23.980><c> would</c><00:45:24.300><c> have</c>

00:45:24.500 --> 00:45:26.239
is<00:45:24.699><c> that</c><00:45:24.980><c> one</c><00:45:25.400><c> son</c><00:45:25.639><c> at</c><00:45:25.860><c> least.</c>

00:45:26.619 --> 00:45:29.420
One<00:45:27.019><c> son</c><00:45:27.300><c> would</c><00:45:27.599><c> continue</c><00:45:28.000><c> on</c><00:45:28.199><c> the</c><00:45:28.420><c> promise.</c>

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:33.260
And<00:45:29.860><c> now</c><00:45:30.119><c> this</c><00:45:30.440><c> one</c><00:45:30.780><c> son</c><00:45:31.300><c> was</c><00:45:32.059><c> taken</c><00:45:32.380><c> away.</c>

00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:37.719
You<00:45:34.300><c> can</c><00:45:34.519><c> imagine</c><00:45:35.119><c> how</c><00:45:36.199><c> over</c><00:45:36.519><c> time,</c>

00:45:37.980 --> 00:45:42.119
as<00:45:38.300><c> Joseph</c><00:45:39.019><c> and</c><00:45:39.219><c> his</c><00:45:39.460><c> memory</c><00:45:39.860><c> slips</c><00:45:40.199><c> off</c><00:45:40.579><c> into</c><00:45:40.780><c> the</c><00:45:40.980><c> distance,</c>

00:45:42.340 --> 00:45:44.139
that<00:45:42.440><c> the</c><00:45:42.679><c> feelings</c><00:45:42.980><c> of</c><00:45:43.280><c> envy</c><00:45:43.539><c> and</c><00:45:43.739><c> hatred</c>

00:45:44.139 --> 00:45:46.360
would<00:45:44.739><c> begin</c><00:45:45.039><c> to</c><00:45:45.340><c> fade</c><00:45:45.539><c> for</c><00:45:45.780><c> the</c><00:45:45.960><c> brothers,</c>

00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:48.400
and<00:45:46.940><c> particularly</c><00:45:47.360><c> for</c><00:45:47.679><c> Judah.</c>

00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:50.039
But<00:45:49.139><c> what</c><00:45:49.340><c> would</c><00:45:49.639><c> remain,</c>

00:45:50.500 --> 00:45:53.099
