00:03:10.219 --> 00:03:14.099
So<00:03:10.419><c> in</c><00:03:10.539><c> this</c><00:03:11.319><c> incident</c><00:03:12.039><c> then,</c><00:03:12.379><c> in</c><00:03:12.520><c> Genesis</c><00:03:12.780><c> 22,</c><00:03:13.680><c> Abraham</c><00:03:13.900><c> was</c>

Take<00:03:29.780><c> now.</c>

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.759
Apparently,<00:03:32.539><c> the</c><00:03:32.719><c> Hebrew</c><00:03:33.020><c> here</c><00:03:33.340><c> is</c><00:03:33.580><c> unusual.</c>

00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:39.199
The<00:03:35.020><c> word</c><00:03:35.460><c> take</c><00:03:36.039><c> is</c><00:03:36.419><c> followed</c><00:03:36.759><c> by</c><00:03:37.020><c> a</c><00:03:37.300><c> particle</c><00:03:37.800><c> which</c><00:03:38.159><c> means,</c>

And<00:39:33.670><c> this</c><00:39:33.969><c> fact</c><00:39:34.269><c> ought</c><00:39:34.469><c> to</c><00:39:34.630><c> be</c><00:39:34.750><c> in</c><00:39:34.829><c> the</c><00:39:35.070><c> forefront</c><00:39:35.289><c> of</c><00:39:35.590><c> our</c><00:39:35.829><c> minds</c>

00:39:51.730 --> 00:39:54.110
And<00:39:52.030><c> let's</c><00:39:52.309><c> be</c><00:39:52.570><c> like</c><00:39:52.889><c> Abraham,</c>

00:39:54.190 --> 00:39:57.610
who<00:39:54.489><c> staggered</c><00:39:55.070><c> not</c><00:39:55.269><c> at</c><00:39:55.469><c> the</c><00:39:55.710><c> promise</c><00:39:55.889><c> of</c><00:39:56.150><c> God</c><00:39:56.329><c> through</c><00:39:56.550><c> unbelief,</c>

00:39:57.670 --> 00:39:59.289
but<00:39:57.909><c> he</c><00:39:58.070><c> was</c><00:39:58.369><c> strong</c><00:39:58.550><c> in</c><00:39:58.869><c> faith,</c>

00:40:02.050 --> 00:40:05.409
being<00:40:02.309><c> fully</c><00:40:02.630><c> persuaded</c><00:40:03.250><c> that</c><00:40:03.510><c> what</c><00:40:03.769><c> God</c><00:40:04.030><c> has</c><00:40:04.329><c> promised,</c>
