<v Speaker 2>an hour ago if you missed that, I had just

28
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>a little short, like forty forty five minute little show

29
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>doing a rundown of bro Grove. I'm fresh off the

30
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 2>plane from Florida, hanging out with Stephen from the Biblical

31
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.080

<v Speaker 2>News Ben at Tanton Broadcasting Seeds JT. Paul's JC demon Rations.

33
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I could go on for days. Man, it was a

34
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>shmortgish board of our favorite content creators. Man had an

35
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>awesome time. So if you happen to check that out, hey,

36
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>go over there and check that out. That was a

37
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>little rundown. I'll give you some behind the scenes stuff.

38
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>But now we are here for the feature presentation, Same

39
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>BAT time, same BAT channel on Sundays at eight pm

40
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Standard time. We are going through Lewis Ginsburg and

41
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>his legends of the Jews. So once again, if you're

42
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>new here, try to start off the show and let

43
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, hey, you know this is this is not Cannon.

44
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying thus said the Lord. Here, this is mythology,

45
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>this is legends of the Semitic peoples. So it's real

46
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>good cultural deep dive kind of contextual thing. Puts you

47
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>in the mindset of the ancient peoples and what they

48
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>were thinking. So they were reading this stuff. They believed

49
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, whether it's true or not, so it had

50
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>to influence their thoughts and their writing. So and it's

51
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 2>just fun. It's fun. A lot of the stuff that

52
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>we hear some crazy stuff in here, you know, it's

53
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 2>like what Then we hear some stuff that it's like whoa,

54
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Now that makes sense because over here in Genesis that

55
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, it was kind of vague. So it's just

56
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a fun study. But I think you guys for joining me,

57
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>if you have, we are trucking right along. We're on

58
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>episode thirty one now, guys, we've been at this for

59
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>a while now. And Sully, which I think I threw

60
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>it up into countdown, but I put it back up here.

61
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>You are very welcome. Thanks for keeping Legends of the

62
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Jews tonight. Yeah. I was really, honestly, without an excuse.

63
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>My flight was very very early, so I was back

64
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>home well, I mean I was back in Tennessee around

65
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 2>ten ten thirty this morning. By the time I got

66
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 2>home from Ashville and all that stuff, I had plenty

67
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>of time. So I was without an excuse, guys. And

68
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I also kind of felt guilty. Are me and Andrews

69
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Prometheus report kind of took a back seat for the

70
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>past two weeks because of bro Grove and preparation for that,

71
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and so I felt I owed you guys this. Well.

72
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I hope everybody's doing great. Man, I see something in

73
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 2>the chat here. Of course we got Pam Sully shout out,

76
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Hey I'm late or I missed alive. So it's good

77
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>to have Virginia in here. But we will get started.

78
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:50.560

<v Speaker 2>You here to hear the reading. So we'll dive into

81
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the reading.

82
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Here.

83
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Let me get everything switched over. Just be patient. Sixty

84
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>seconds maybe sixty seconds, all right, share a screen there

85
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>we go. So many windows, guys, It's like I have

86
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>three monitors and two cameras, and that's like I have

87
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 2>to drag everything over. It's a mess. And each screen

88
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 2>has like four or five little things in it that

89
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>I got to keep up with. Thank you, Virginia, I

90
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 2>love you too, girl. Where's it at? I'm trying to

91
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>find it there? It is? All right, we're set up, guys.

92
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. If you guys are ready, put you see

93
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>eat bets on. All right, let's go. Last time we

94
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 2>left off. Oh hay, I man, I'm all out of

95
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>whack here. Oh, wrong way in this way? There we go.

96
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 2>That's a little better, ain't it. Actually? I'm going to

97
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>just that if I can, if you'll let me. Uh,

98
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, guys, so many windows, so it's bad

99
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>when your equipment is smarter than you are. There we go.

100
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's not zoom in so much. There, that's better. Okay,

101
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>So last time we left off, uh, and now we

102
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 2>are at the wives of the sons of Jacob. Okay.

103
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Judah was the first of the sons of Jacob to

104
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.199
<v Speaker 2>enter wedlock. It'll here while the sale of Joseph to

105
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 2>the Midianites, his brethren had said to Judah, if conditions

106
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 2>were as before, our father would provide wives for us.

107
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Now as it is, he is entirely absorbed by his

108
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>grief for Joseph, and we must look about for wives ourselves.

109
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Thou art chief, and thou shouldst marry. First Judah's marriage

110
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 2>with a lit the daughter of the noble merchant Shua,

111
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>which was consummated at Adalamma, the residence of his friend Harah,

112
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>or as he was called later Harum, king of Tire. Oh,

113
00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:02.519
<v Speaker 2>now we get some freemason stuff there, Hiram Habif, sorry, Hire,

114
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm King of Tire and was not happy. His two

115
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 2>eldest sons died, and shortly thereafter his wife. Also. It

116
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.240
<v Speaker 2>was Juda's punishment for having began a good deed and

117
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 2>left it unfinished. For he who begins a good deed

118
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 2>and does not execute it to the end brings down

119
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 2>misfortune upon his own head. I was just a Southern

120
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>saying where I'm from, it's just hey, boy, don't start

121
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>something you can't finish, or don't bite off more than

122
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>you can chew. Judah had rescued Joseph from death, but

123
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>it was his suggestion to sell him into slavery. Had

124
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>he urged him to restore the lad to his father,

125
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>His brethren would have obeyed his words. He was lacking

126
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 2>in a consistency to persist until he had completed the

127
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>work of Joseph's deliverance, which he had began in the

128
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>same the year of Joseph's misfortune. All his other brethren

129
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.159
<v Speaker 2>married to Reuben's wife was named Iloram, the daughter of

130
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 2>the Canaanite Uzi of Timnah. Simon married his sister Dana first,

131
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 2>and then a second wife. When Simon and Levi massacred

132
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the men of Shechem, Dinah refused to leave the city

133
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and follow her brethren, saying whether shall I carry my shame?

134
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>But Simon swore he would marry her, as he did later,

135
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 2>and when she died in Egypt, he took her body

136
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Holy Land and buried it there. Dinah bore

137
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 2>her brother a son, and from her union with Shechem,

138
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 2>the son of Haymoor, sprang a daughter, Asnath by name

139
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>afterward the wife of Joseph. When his daughter was born

140
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 2>to Dinah, her brethren, the sons of Jacob, wanted to

141
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>kill her that the finger of men might not point

142
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 2>at the fruit of the sin in their father's house.

143
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 2>But Jacob took a piece of Tin inscribed the holy

144
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>name upon it and bounded about the neck of the girl,

145
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>and he put her under a thorn bush and abandoned

146
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 2>her there. An angel carried the babe down to Egypt.

147
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's kind of like a reoccurring theme, isn't it,

148
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>where Popeter I always get this wrong. Potiphar Potiphar adopted

149
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>her as a child, for his wife was barren. Years thereafter,

150
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker 2>when Joseph traveled through the land as visceroy, the maidens

151
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>threw gifts at him to make him turn his eyes

152
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 2>in their direction and give them the opportunity of gazing

153
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 2>upon his beauty. Asinath possessed nothing that would do as

154
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>a present. Therefore, she took off the amulet suspended from

155
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 2>her neck and gave it to him. Thus Joseph became

156
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 2>acquainted with her lineage, and he married her, seeing that

157
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 2>she was not an Egyptian, but one connected with the

158
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 2>house of Jacob through his mother. Beside, the son of Dana,

159
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Simon had another son whose name was Saul. By Buona,

160
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the damsel he had taken captive in the campaign against

161
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Shechem Levi and Ishkar married two daughters of Joe Bab

162
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the grandson of Eber. The wife of the former was

163
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>named Adana. The wife of the latter are dah Dan's

164
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>wife was l Flat, a daughter of the Moabite Hama Dun. Sorry, guys,

165
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm a redneck. I could hardly speak English and these

166
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 2>words are pretty hard. These are twenty dollars words right here.

167
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>For a long time the marriage remained childless. Finally they

168
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 2>had a son, whom they called Heshim. Gad and nef

169
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Tali married women from Haran, two sisters, daughters of Amram,

170
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>the grandson of Nahor. Nephtali's wife, Mirmit was the older

171
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of the two, and the younger. The wife of Gad

172
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 2>was named Uzit. Asher's first wife was Adon, the daughter

173
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>of elf Law, the grandson of Ishmael. She died childless

174
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and he married a second wife, Hadra, a daughter of Ablel,

175
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>the grandson of Shim. She had been married before, her

176
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>first husband, having been Mikschel, also the grandson of Sim.

177
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 2>And the issue of the first marriage was a daughter,

178
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Sarah by name. When Asher brought his wife to Canaan,

179
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 2>the three year old orphan Sarah came with them. She

180
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 2>was raised in the house of Jacob, and she walked

181
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>in the ways of pious children, and God gave her beauty,

182
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:14.399
<v Speaker 2>wisdom and sagacity, sagacity s A g A c.

183
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 3>I T y.

184
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I mightna have to look that one up. That one's

185
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>got me curious. We'll do a word search real quick. Nope,

186
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to see how many times it was used.

187
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Back up study. Maybe that's it. There we go. Okay,

188
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>wisdom says wisdom, wisdom literature. Wisdom is the capacity of

189
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the mind, and the Old Testament involves both knowledge and

190
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the ability to direct the mind toward full understanding of

191
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>human life and towards the moral fulfillment. Okay, so it's

192
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>just a fancy word for uh wisdom. So he gave

193
00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 2>her wisdom. H Zebuln's wife was Marshaw, the daughter of Molad,

194
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 2>the grandson of the Median, the son of Abraham by Ketra.

195
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>For Benjamin, when he was but ten years old, Jacob

196
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>took Mahala to a wife, the daughter of Aram, the

197
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 2>grandson of Tara, and she bore him five sons. At

198
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>the age of eighteen, he married a second wife, Arbat,

199
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>the daughter of Zimran, a son of Abraham by Keturah,

200
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and by her also he had five sons. Okay, that's

201
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the end of that section. I'll check in with you, guys.

<v Speaker 2>words I struggling with? All Right, okay, we just got

211
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.519
<v Speaker 2>some banter. I'll just check it in with you guys.

212
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll continue reading here. Let me wet my whistle real quick.

213
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh and if you haven't done so already, I'm gonna

214
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 2>shamelessly do it. Don't be a jackass. If I got

215
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>your attention more than sixty seconds, man, I deserve a

216
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.919
<v Speaker 2>thumbs up that don't cost you nothing but helps me tremendously. Folks, loviness.

217
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>My haters not came in yet. I don't have my

218
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:13.039
<v Speaker 2>thumb down. Yet maybe he didn't get notified. Okay, this

219
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 2>one is Joseph, the slave of Potiphar. Hey I got

220
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:21.399
<v Speaker 2>it right. That time. When Joseph was sold as a

221
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.879
<v Speaker 2>slave to the Ishmaelites, he kept silent out of respect

222
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>for his brethren and did not tell his masters that

223
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>he was the son of Jacob, a great and powerful man.

224
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Even when he came to the Midianites with the Ishmaelites

225
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and the former asked after his parentage, he still said

226
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 2>he was a slave only in order not to put

227
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.559
<v Speaker 2>his brethren to shame. He's a better man than me.

228
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.879
<v Speaker 2>I snitched on him. They've done me that way. But

229
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.639
<v Speaker 2>the most distinguished of the Midianites rebuked Joseph, saying, thou

230
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 2>art no slave. Thy appearance betrayeth thee and he threatened

231
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 2>him with death unless he acknowled the truth. Joseph, however,

232
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 2>was steadfast he would not act treacherously toward his brethren.

233
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Arrived in Egypt, the honors of Joseph could come to

234
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 2>no agreement regarding him. Each desire to have so an

235
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 2>exclusive possession of him. They therefore decided to leave him

236
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 2>with the shopkeeper until they should come back to Egypt.

237
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Again with their merchandise. And God, let Joseph find grace

238
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>in the sight of the shopkeeper. All that he had,

239
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>his whole house he put into Joseph's hand, And therefore

240
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the Lord blessed him with much silver and gold, and

241
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Joseph remained with him for three months and for five days.

242
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>At that time there came from Memphis the wife of Potiphar,

243
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.160
<v Speaker 2>and she cast her eyes upon Joseph, of whose calmliness

244
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.759
<v Speaker 2>of person she had heard from the eunuchs. She told

245
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.240
<v Speaker 2>her husband how that a certain shopkeeper had grown rich

246
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>through a young Hebrew. And she added, but it is

247
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>said that the youth was stolen away out of the

248
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>land of Canaan. Go therefore and sit in judgment upon

249
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.559
<v Speaker 2>his owner, and take the youth into thy house, that

250
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>the God of the Hebrews may bless thee for the

251
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 2>grace of Heaven rests upon this youth. Potiphar summoned the shopkeeper,

252
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>and when he appeared before him, he spoke harshly to him, saying,

253
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.640
<v Speaker 2>what is this? I hear that thou stealest souls from

254
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.319
<v Speaker 2>the land of Canaan, and dost carry on traffic with

255
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:39.519
<v Speaker 2>them human trafficker. The shopkeeper protested his innocence, and he

256
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.000
<v Speaker 2>could not be made to recede from his assertions. That

257
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>a company of Ishmaelites had left josephin charged temporarily until

258
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>they should return. Potifar had them strip naked and beaten.

259
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>God Ee, strip naked and beaten. I wasn't ready boy.

260
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>That escalated quickly, so then Potiphar summoned Joseph. The youth

261
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 2>prostrated himself before the chief of the eunuchs, for he

262
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 2>was third in rank of the officers of Pharaoh. And

263
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.759
<v Speaker 2>he addressed Joseph and said, art thou a slave or

264
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 2>a freeborn man? And Joseph replied a slave. Potiphar continued

265
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to question him whose slave art thou? And Joseph replies,

266
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 2>I belonged to the Ishmaelites. And Potiphar, how whist thou

267
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 2>made a slave? Joseph, they bought me in the land

268
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 2>of Canaan. But Potiphar refused to give credence to what

269
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 2>he said, and he had also he had him also

270
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.519
<v Speaker 2>stripped and beaten. The wife of Potiphar, standing by the door,

271
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.039
<v Speaker 2>saw how Joseph was abused, and she sent word to

272
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>her husband. Thy verdict is unjust, for thou punished the

273
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.319
<v Speaker 2>freeborn youth that was stolen away from his place, as

274
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:02.839
<v Speaker 2>though he the one that had committed a crime. And

275
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Joseph held firmly to what he had said, Potiphar ordered

276
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.960
<v Speaker 2>him to prison until his master should return. In her

277
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 2>sinful longing for him, his wife wanted to have Joseph

278
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>in her own house, and she remonstrated with her husband

279
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.640
<v Speaker 2>in these words, Wherefore, wherefore dost thou keep the captive,

280
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Speaker 2>nobly born, a slave a prisoner. Thou shouldst rather set

281
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 2>him at liberty and have him serve thee And he answered,

282
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the law of the Egyptians does not permit us to

283
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 2>take what belongs to another before all titles are made clear.

284
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 2>So even slaves had titles like cars. And Joseph stayed

285
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.160
<v Speaker 2>in prison for twenty four days until the return of

286
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.119
<v Speaker 2>the ishmaelites to Egypt. Meanwhile, they had heard somewhere that

287
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Joseph was the son of Jacob, and they therefore said

288
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.640
<v Speaker 2>to him, why didst thou pretend that thou wast a slave?

289
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 2>See we have information that thou art the son of

290
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 2>a powerful man in Canaan, and thy father mourns for

291
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>thee in sack cloth. Joseph was on the point of

292
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>divulging his secret, but he kept a check upon himself

293
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 2>for the sake of his brethren, and he repeated that

294
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:20.880
<v Speaker 2>he was a slave. Nonetheless, the Ishmaelites decided to sell

295
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:24.680
<v Speaker 2>him that he be not found in their hands, for

296
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 2>they feared the revenge of Jacob, who they knew was

297
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.240
<v Speaker 2>in high favor with the Lord and with men. The

298
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.759
<v Speaker 2>shopkeeper begged the Ishmaelites to rescue him from the legal

299
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.799
<v Speaker 2>prosecution of Potiphar. So, yeah, he's just kind of caught

300
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in the middle. It's hey man, you watch my bag.

301
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like you go to the airport, It's like, hey man,

302
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 2>you care to watch my bag for me? And you

303
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of take off and leave them stuck with it,

304
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, and then you are the one that gets

305
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:58.440
<v Speaker 2>taken to jail. He's kind of caught in the middle.

306
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:04.599
<v Speaker 2>There the legal prosecution of Potiphar and cleared him of

307
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.599
<v Speaker 2>the suspicion of the man theft. The Ishmaelites, in turn,

308
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.240
<v Speaker 2>had a conference with Joseph and bade him testify before

309
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Potiphar that he had bought him for the money. He

310
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 2>did so, and then the chief of the eunuchs, liberated

311
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.519
<v Speaker 2>him from prison and dismissed all parties. Concerned with the

312
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:26.440
<v Speaker 2>permission of her husband, Potiphar's wife sent a eunuch to

313
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the Ishmaelites, bidding him to buy Joseph, but he returned

314
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and reported that they demanded an exorbitant piece for the slave.

315
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 2>She just passed a second unit, charging him to conclude

316
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the bargain, and though they had asked one mina of

317
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 2>gold or even two, he was not to be sparing

318
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 2>of money. He was to be sure to buy the

319
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.759
<v Speaker 2>slave and bring him to her. The unit gave the

320
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Ishmaelites eighty pieces of gold for Joseph, telling his mistress, however,

321
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that he had paid out one hundred pieces. Joseph noted

322
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.240
<v Speaker 2>to the deception, but he kept silent and the eunuch

323
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 2>might not be put to shame. Thus Joseph became a

324
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 2>slave of the idolatrous priest Potiphar, or PoTA Pharah, as

325
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:17.480
<v Speaker 2>he is sometimes called. He had secured possession of the

326
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 2>handsome youth for elewd purpose, but the angel Gabriel mutilated

327
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.440
<v Speaker 2>him in such a manner that he could not accomplish it.

328
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>His master soon had occasion to notice that Joseph was

329
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.440
<v Speaker 2>a piet was as pious as he was beautiful, for

330
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 2>whenever he was occupied with his ministrations, he would whisper

331
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 2>a prayer. O, Lord of the world, thou art my trust,

332
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Thou art my protection. Let me find grace and favor

333
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>in thy sight, and in the sight of all that

334
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:50.880
<v Speaker 2>see me, and in the sight of my master Potiphar.

335
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 2>When Potiphar noticed the movement of his lips, he said

336
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 2>to Joseph, dost thou purpose to cast a spell upon me? Nay,

337
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.799
<v Speaker 2>replied the youth, beseeching God to let me find favor

338
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 2>in thine eyes. His prayer was heard. Potiphar convinced himself

339
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that God was with Joseph. Sometimes he would make a

340
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>test of Joseph Joseph's miraculous powers. If he brought him

341
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a glass of hypcris he would say, I would rather

342
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>have wine mixed with the absence, and straightway the spiced

343
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 2>wine was changed into bitter wine. And that's kind of

344
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:36.640
<v Speaker 2>telling too. I've said on some shows that they seen

345
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:42.599
<v Speaker 2>two Messiah figures. You know, they believed in the Messiah

346
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>of the They call him Yosiah ben Joseph. You know, Joseph.

347
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 2>And then the second one was supposed to be, in

348
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>their eyes anyway, a liberator from a government, but no,

349
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>he was liberating them from you know, the hands of

350
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Satan and death, so that they got that wrong. But

351
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 2>here and you can kind of tell, you know, this

352
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 2>is a later writing because they are casting Joseph in

353
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>like the same role as Jesus. As Jesus you know,

354
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>first miracle, he turned water into wine. So here you

355
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>have their you know, their first messiah, ben Joseph doing

356
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the same things as Jesus, kind of trying to pick

357
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.759
<v Speaker 2>him up, you know, in the put him back in

358
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the same category. I guess you could say, let me see,

359
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 2>whenever he desired, he could be sure to get from Joseph.

360
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>And he saw clearly that God fulfilled the wishes of

361
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.319
<v Speaker 2>his slave. Therefore he put all the keys of his

362
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.200
<v Speaker 2>house into his hand, and he knew, not aught that

363
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>that was with him, keeping back nothing from Joseph, but

364
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>his wife, seeing that the chikhana rested upon him, Potiphar

365
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 2>treated Joseph not as a slave, but as a member

366
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 2>of his family. For he said, this youth is not

367
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>cut out for the slave's work. He is worthy of

368
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the prince's palace. Accordingly, he provided instruction for him in

369
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the arts, and ordered him to have better fare than

370
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the other slaves. Joseph thanked God for his new and

371
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 2>happy state. He prayed, blessed art thou, o Lord, that

372
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.799
<v Speaker 2>thou hast caused me to forget my father's house. What

373
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>made his present fortune so agreeable was that he was

374
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:32.240
<v Speaker 2>removed from the envy and jealousy of his brethren. And

375
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 2>he said, when I was in my father's house and

376
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.759
<v Speaker 2>he gave me something pretty, the coat of many colors,

377
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.680
<v Speaker 2>priestly garments, my brethren begrudged me with present. And now,

378
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.119
<v Speaker 2>O Lord, I thank THEE that I live amid plenty,

379
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:53.119
<v Speaker 2>free from anxieties. He turned his attention to the external appearance.

380
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.119
<v Speaker 2>He painted his eyes, dressed his hair, and aimed to

381
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.680
<v Speaker 2>be elegant in his walk. But God spake to him, saying,

382
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.920
<v Speaker 2>thy father is morning in sackcloth and ashes, while thou

383
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>dost eat, drink, and dress thy hair. Therefore I will

384
00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>stir up thy mistress against THEE, and thou shalt be embarrassed.

385
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Thus Joseph's secret wish was fulfilled that he might be

386
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.680
<v Speaker 2>permitted to prove his piety under temptation, as the piety

387
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>of his father's had been tested. Okay, that's the end

388
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>of that section. I'll check back in with you guys

389
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 2>in the chat. Wade been studying the Joe Bab thing,

390
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 2>and there's some credence to Job being Jethrow ho Bab,

391
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Moses's father in law. The kennit. We will see what

392
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Ginsburg says, which I've heard. I can't remember who, but

393
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody was saying that Job was like in the black

394
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:06.960
<v Speaker 2>blood line of Esau of Edam, I think if I

395
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>remember correctly. So I had told me that a while back. Yep,

396
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the right way. You got to be reading other

397
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:21.920
<v Speaker 2>people's stuff and get other people's opinions. Man, you've got

398
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to get different perspectives and gather those puzzle pieces. Bro,

399
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I commend you. Okay, I'll continue on. We're flying right along. Okay,

400
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:43.759
<v Speaker 2>this is uh Joseph and Zoega. That is untype right,

401
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:50.880
<v Speaker 2>bless me throw the stick up in the air. It

402
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>will always return to its original place. Like Rachel, his mother,

403
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Joseph was of ravishing beauty and the why of his

404
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 2>master was filled with invincible passion for him. Her feeling

405
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 2>was heightened by the astrologic forecast that she was destined

406
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to have descendants through Joseph. This was true, but not

407
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>in the sense in which she understood the prophecy. Joseph

408
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 2>married her daughter Asnath later on, and she bore him children,

409
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>thus fulfilling what had been read in the stars. So

410
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the magi, you know, the same ones that went after

411
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Jesus when they seen the stars in the having Let's see, Pink,

412
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I just happen to see your message there. I'm sitting

413
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.599
<v Speaker 2>here listening, and I can't join your channel because I

414
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 2>can't do monetary things on this tabit. Thus I'd love

415
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.200
<v Speaker 2>to be a member of Blessings. Oh well, this stuff

420
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:12.720
<v Speaker 2>But avan it's not always about the money, just you

421
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:17.720
<v Speaker 2>being here, comment and liking, sharing, dropping some comments in

422
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:21.519
<v Speaker 2>the comment section. Man, that's better than money. It puts

423
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 2>me in front of new listeners. But I'll continue here.

424
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 2>In the beginning, she did not confess her love to Joseph.

425
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>She tried first to seduce him by artifice on the

426
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 2>pretext of visiting him. She would go to him at night,

427
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and as she had no sons, she would pretend a

428
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>desire to adopt him. Okay, so she's trying to play

429
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the mommy role here. Joseph then prayed to God in

430
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.960
<v Speaker 2>her behalf, and she bore a son. However, she continued

431
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 2>to embrace him as though he were her own child,

432
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:07.160
<v Speaker 2>yet he did not notice her evil designs. Finally, when

433
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.319
<v Speaker 2>he recognized her wanton trickery, he mourned many days and

434
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 2>endeavored to turn her away from her sinful passion by

435
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the word of God. Speaking of that situation in Doc Brown,

436
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.480
<v Speaker 2>that kind of puts you in mind of Marty McFly

437
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>when he goes back in time and meets his bom

438
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and his mom's trying to have sex with him. He's

439
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 2>like no. She on her side, often threatened him with

440
00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:42.279
<v Speaker 2>death and surrendered him to castigations in order to make

441
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 2>him amenable to her will. And when these means had

442
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 2>no effect upon Joseph, she sought to seduce him with enticements.

443
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.480
<v Speaker 2>She would say, I promise thee thou shalt rule over

444
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.599
<v Speaker 2>me and all that I have, if that would but

445
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:03.119
<v Speaker 2>give thyself up to me, and thou shalt be to

446
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.880
<v Speaker 2>me the same as my lawful husband. But Joseph was

447
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>mindful of the words of his father, and he went

448
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 2>into his chamber and fasted, and prayed to God that

449
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.359
<v Speaker 2>he would deliver him from the toils of the Egyptian woman.

450
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.680
<v Speaker 2>In spite of the mortifications he practiced, and though he

451
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>gave the poor and sick, the food pointed to him,

452
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 2>his master thought he lived a luxurious life. For those

453
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>that fast for the glory of God are made beautiful

454
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.359
<v Speaker 2>of countenance. The wife of Potiphar would frequently speak to

455
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:41.039
<v Speaker 2>her husband in praise of Joseph's chastity, in order that

456
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:45.079
<v Speaker 2>he might conceive no suspicion of the state of her feelings.

457
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.279
<v Speaker 2>And again he would encourage Joseph, secretly telling him not

458
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 2>to fear her husband, that he was convinced of his

459
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 2>purity of life. And though one should carry tales to

460
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 2>him about Joseph and herself, Potiphar would lend them no credence.

461
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 2>And when he saw that all of this was ineffectual,

462
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 2>she approached him with the request that he teach her

463
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the word of God, saying, if it be thy wish

464
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that I forsake idle worship, then fulfill my desire, and

465
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.079
<v Speaker 2>I will persuade that Egyptian husband of mine to abjure

466
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the idols, and we shall walk in the law of God.

467
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:26.440
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, okay, don't be orre's that. Don't be

468
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>like Felicia, where's that? There goes? She said, don't be standing.

469
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.640
<v Speaker 2>You give me some of that loving and we'll repent

470
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and start worshiping your God. You know, he's gonna gonna

471
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 2>have to show me a little love, you know, trying

472
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:46.000
<v Speaker 2>to bargain with some uh, some sweet relations as they

473
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 2>said on what was that the nutty professor? Oh, I remember,

474
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 2>and I used to have sweet relations, Joseph replied. The

475
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Lord desires not that those who fear him shall walk

476
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 2>in impurity, nor hath he pleasure in the adulterer. Another

477
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>time she came to him and said, if that will

478
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 2>not do my desire, I will murder the Egyptian and

479
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.880
<v Speaker 2>wed with thee according to the law whereat Joseph rent

480
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 2>his garment, and he said, O, woman, fear the Lord,

481
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.280
<v Speaker 2>and do not execute this evil deed, that thou mayst

482
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:26.239
<v Speaker 2>not bring destruction down upon thyself, for I will proclaim

483
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:31.679
<v Speaker 2>thy impious purposes to all in public. Again, she sent

484
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 2>him a dish prepared with magic spells, by means of

485
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 2>which she hoped to get him into her power. But

486
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>when the eunuch said it before him, he saw the

487
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:44.480
<v Speaker 2>image of a man handling him or handing him a

488
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 2>sword together with the dish, and warned of the vision,

489
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 2>he took good care not to taste of the food.

490
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 2>A few days later, his mistress came to him and

491
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>asked him why he had not eaten of what she

492
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 2>had sent him. Approached her, saying, how couldst thou tell me?

493
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.639
<v Speaker 2>I do not come nigh unto the idols, but only

494
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:10.320
<v Speaker 2>unto the Lord. The God of my fathers, hath revealed

495
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 2>thy iniquity to me through an angel. But thou mayst

496
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:17.480
<v Speaker 2>know that the malice of the wicked has no power

497
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:21.199
<v Speaker 2>of those who fear God impurity. I shall eat thy

498
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.400
<v Speaker 2>food before thine eyes, and the God of my father's

499
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Angel of Abraham will see will be with me.

500
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 2>The wife of Potiphar fell upon her face at the

501
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.639
<v Speaker 2>feet of Joseph, and amidst tears, she promised not to

502
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:40.519
<v Speaker 2>commit this sin again, but her unholy passion for Joseph

503
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:44.760
<v Speaker 2>did not depart from her, and her distress over her

504
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:48.559
<v Speaker 2>unfulfilled wish made her look so ill that her husband

505
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>said to her, why is thou countenance fallen? And she replied,

506
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I have a pain in my heart, and the groanings

507
00:35:56.039 --> 00:36:00.280
<v Speaker 2>of my spirit oppressed me. Once she was a along

508
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:05.079
<v Speaker 2>with Joseph, she rushed toward him, crying, I will throttle myself,

509
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:07.880
<v Speaker 2>or I will jump into a well or a pit,

510
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>if thou wilt not yield thyself to me. Noticing her

511
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:17.400
<v Speaker 2>extreme agitation, Joseph endeavored to calm her with these words, remember,

512
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:22.800
<v Speaker 2>if thou makest away with thyself thy husband's concubine, as

513
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:29.400
<v Speaker 2>still thy rival will maltreat thy children and exturbate thy

514
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:34.719
<v Speaker 2>memory from earth. These words, gently spoken, had the opposite

515
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:38.719
<v Speaker 2>effect from which he intended. They only inflamed her passion

516
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the more by feeding her hopes. She said, there seest

517
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:51.840
<v Speaker 2>thou thou dost love me now, crazy, crazy girl, it

518
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.639
<v Speaker 2>suffices for me that thou takest thought for me and

519
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:03.679
<v Speaker 2>for the safety of my children. Sweet I expect now

520
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:07.880
<v Speaker 2>that my desire will be fulfilled. It's like a a

521
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I shoot dumb and dumber. He's like, what's the chances

522
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.239
<v Speaker 2>of a girl like me getting with a guy like you?

523
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:21.239
<v Speaker 2>And she's like slim. He's like, well, how slim. She's like,

524
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I like want in a million. He's like, so, you're

525
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:31.320
<v Speaker 2>telling me there's a chance she did not know that

526
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Joseph spoke as he did for the sake of God

527
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and not for her sake. His mistress, or as she

528
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 2>is called Zuluka, pursued him day after day with her

529
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 2>amoracious talk, for her flattery, saying, how fair is thy appearance,

530
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:52.400
<v Speaker 2>how calmly thy form? Never have I seen so well

531
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:57.239
<v Speaker 2>favored a slave as thou, Joseph would reply, God, who

532
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:05.480
<v Speaker 2>formed me in my mother's womb, hath created all men? Yeah, sly,

533
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 2>she's a whacko. Yeah, man, that's the chick they were

534
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about on that outcast song back in the day.

535
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:18.719
<v Speaker 2>You remember that crazy witch. Okay, Zeluca. How beautiful are

536
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:22.599
<v Speaker 2>thine eyes which thou hast charmed all Egyptians, both men

537
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and women, Joseph, beautiful as they may be while I

538
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:31.639
<v Speaker 2>am alive, so ghastly they will be to look upon

539
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:36.280
<v Speaker 2>in the grave, Seluca, How lovely and pleasant are thy words.

540
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I pray THEE take thy harp play, and also sing

541
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 2>that I may hear thy words, Joseph. Lovely and pleasant

542
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:49.679
<v Speaker 2>are my words when I proclaim the praises of my god, Zeluca,

543
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:54.000
<v Speaker 2>How beautiful is thy hair? Take my golden comb and

544
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.119
<v Speaker 2>comb it, Joseph, How long will thou continue to speak

545
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:02.159
<v Speaker 2>thus to me? Leave off? It were better for THEE

546
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 2>to care for thy household, Seluca. There is nothing in

547
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:11.880
<v Speaker 2>my house that I care for, save THEE alone. But

548
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Joseph's virtue was unshaken while she spoke. Thus he did

549
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.760
<v Speaker 2>not so much as raise his eyes to look at

550
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:24.079
<v Speaker 2>his mistress. He remained equally steadfast when she lavished gifts

551
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:27.719
<v Speaker 2>upon him, for she provided him with garments of one

552
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:31.719
<v Speaker 2>kind for the morning, and another for noon, and a

553
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:35.960
<v Speaker 2>third kind for the evening. Nor could treats move him.

554
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:40.000
<v Speaker 2>She would say, I will bring false accusations against THEE

555
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:44.800
<v Speaker 2>before thy master, and Joseph would reply, the Lord executeth

556
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.920
<v Speaker 2>judgment for the oppressed, or I will deprive THEE of food,

557
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:54.119
<v Speaker 2>whereupon Joseph would say, the Lord giveth food to the hungry,

558
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.559
<v Speaker 2>or I will have THEE thrown into prison, whereupon Joseph

559
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:03.840
<v Speaker 2>would reply, ooseth the prisoners, or I will put heavy

560
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:07.400
<v Speaker 2>labor upon thee, and I will bend. I will bend

561
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.400
<v Speaker 2>thee double. Whereupon Joseph the Lord raises up them that

562
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:17.840
<v Speaker 2>are bowed down, or I will bind thine eyes. Whereupon

563
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Joseph replies, the Lord openeth the eyes of the blind.

564
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:30.519
<v Speaker 2>When she began to exercise her blandishments upon him, he

565
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:35.440
<v Speaker 2>rejected them with words, I fear my master. But Zukalah

566
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:39.760
<v Speaker 2>would say, I will kill him. Joseph replied with indignation,

567
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.920
<v Speaker 2>not enough that thou wast making adulter of me. Thou

568
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:48.679
<v Speaker 2>woult have me be a murderer. Besides, and he spoke furthermore, saying,

569
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I fear the Lord, my god. Zuklah, nonsense. He is

570
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:58.360
<v Speaker 2>not here to see thee. Joseph great is the Lord,

571
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:03.840
<v Speaker 2>and highly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. Thereupon,

572
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 2>she took Joseph into her chamber, where an idol hung

573
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.519
<v Speaker 2>above the bed. This she covered that it might not

574
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:12.880
<v Speaker 2>be a witness of what she was about to do.

575
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 2>And Joseph said, though thou coverest up the eyes of

576
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:21.079
<v Speaker 2>the idol, remember the eyes of the Lord run to

577
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:27.039
<v Speaker 2>and fro and the whole earth. Yes, Joseph continued, I

578
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:29.679
<v Speaker 2>have many reasons not to do this thing for the

579
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:33.760
<v Speaker 2>sake of God. Adam was banished from Paradise on the

580
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:38.079
<v Speaker 2>account of violating a light command. How much more should

581
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I have to fear the punishment of God were I

582
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to commit so grave a sin as adultery. The Lord

583
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:49.079
<v Speaker 2>is in the habit of choosing a favorite member of

584
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:53.800
<v Speaker 2>our family as a sacrifice unto himself. Perhaps he desired

585
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.679
<v Speaker 2>to make choice of me. But if I do as

586
00:41:56.800 --> 00:42:00.559
<v Speaker 2>thy will, I make myself unfit to be a sacrificing

587
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:04.039
<v Speaker 2>to God. Also, the Lord is in the habit of

588
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.800
<v Speaker 2>appearing suddenly in visions of the night and into those

589
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.119
<v Speaker 2>that love him. Thus did he appear into Abraham, Isaac

590
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.079
<v Speaker 2>and Jacob. And I fear that he may appear unto

591
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:18.760
<v Speaker 2>me at the very moment while I am defiling myself

592
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:22.239
<v Speaker 2>with thee. And as I fear God, so I fear

593
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:26.800
<v Speaker 2>my father, who withdrew the birthright from his firstborn son, Ruben,

594
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:29.440
<v Speaker 2>on the account of an immoral act. And that's what

595
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I talk about in the Epic of Esau. You know,

596
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.960
<v Speaker 2>sleeping with your father's wife or concubine is active rebellion,

597
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:40.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to take over the household. That's what Ham did

598
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:48.119
<v Speaker 2>to Noah. That's what's his name. King David's son did

599
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the same thing as soon as he run out to

600
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:53.920
<v Speaker 2>his father. It starts with an a abslom. First thing

601
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 2>he did, he pitched a ten on his father's house

602
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 2>and went into all of his concubines in the side

603
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.119
<v Speaker 2>of all of Israel. And Reuben also slept with his

604
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:04.000
<v Speaker 2>father's concubines. So this is like a reoccurring trend or

605
00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:10.320
<v Speaker 2>theme that you see. So withdrew the birthright from his

606
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:13.400
<v Speaker 2>firstborn son, Ruben, on the account of an immoral act,

607
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:18.119
<v Speaker 2>and gave it to me. Were I to fulfill my desire,

608
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I would share the fate of my brother Ruben. With

609
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:26.760
<v Speaker 2>such words, Joseph endeavored to cure the wife of his

610
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.480
<v Speaker 2>master of the wanton passion she had conceived for him,

611
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:36.639
<v Speaker 2>while he took heed to keep far from his henous sin,

612
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:41.360
<v Speaker 2>not from fear of punishment that would follow, nor out

613
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:44.880
<v Speaker 2>of consideration for the opinion of men, but because he

614
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:48.400
<v Speaker 2>desired to sanctify the name of God, Blessed be he

615
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:52.679
<v Speaker 2>before the whole world. It was this feeling of his

616
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:58.159
<v Speaker 2>that Zukolah could not comprehend, And when finally carried away

617
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:03.719
<v Speaker 2>by passion, she told him in unmistakable language what she desired,

618
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:08.239
<v Speaker 2>and he recoiled from her. She said to Joseph, why

619
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:11.360
<v Speaker 2>dost thou refuse to fulfill my wish? Am I not

620
00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:14.920
<v Speaker 2>a married woman? None will find out that thou what

621
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:19.880
<v Speaker 2>thou hast done. Joseph replied, if the unmarried woman of

622
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.679
<v Speaker 2>the Heathen are prohibited unto us, how much more they

623
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.920
<v Speaker 2>are married women as the Lord liveth I will not

624
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.280
<v Speaker 2>commit the crime thou biddest me to do. In this,

625
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Joseph followed the example of many pious men who utter

626
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.119
<v Speaker 2>an oath at the moment when they are in danger

627
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:40.239
<v Speaker 2>of succumbing to temptation, and seek thus to gather moral

628
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:46.719
<v Speaker 2>courage to control their evil instincts. When Zuluka could not

629
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:50.559
<v Speaker 2>prevail upon him to persuade him, her desire threw her

630
00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:55.199
<v Speaker 2>into a grievous sickness, and all the women of Egypt

631
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.199
<v Speaker 2>came to visit her, and they said unto her, why

632
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:05.400
<v Speaker 2>art thou so languid and wasted? Thou lackest nothing? Is

633
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.760
<v Speaker 2>not thy husband a prince great and esteemed in the

634
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.480
<v Speaker 2>sight of the king. Is it possible that thou canst

635
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:17.679
<v Speaker 2>want aught of what thy heart desireth Sukula answered them, saying,

636
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:21.679
<v Speaker 2>this day shall it be made known unto you whence

637
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:26.719
<v Speaker 2>cometh the state therein you see met. She commanded her

638
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:31.960
<v Speaker 2>maid servants to prepare food for all the women. It's

639
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:33.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a job moment, ain't it. You know?

640
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Job's down and out, having all these issues. And the

641
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:42.360
<v Speaker 2>men kind of came and give him counsel, and she

642
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:46.280
<v Speaker 2>spread a banquet before them. In her house, she placed

643
00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:49.800
<v Speaker 2>knives upon the table to peel the oranges, and then

644
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:55.280
<v Speaker 2>ordered Joseph to appear, arrayed in costly garments and wait

645
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:59.440
<v Speaker 2>upon her guests. When Joseph came in, the women could

646
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:02.960
<v Speaker 2>not take their eyes off of him, and they all

647
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:06.559
<v Speaker 2>cut their hands with knives, and the oranges in their

648
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:09.920
<v Speaker 2>hands were covered in blood. But they, not knowing what

649
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:12.599
<v Speaker 2>they were doing, continued to look upon the beauty of

650
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Joseph without turning their eyes away from him. Then Zukala said,

651
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:21.039
<v Speaker 2>unto them, what have you done? Behold? I set oranges

652
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.519
<v Speaker 2>before you to eat, and you have cut your hands.

653
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:26.360
<v Speaker 2>All the women looked at their hands and lo they

654
00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:29.559
<v Speaker 2>were full of blood, and it flowed down and stained

655
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:33.360
<v Speaker 2>their garments. They said to Zukla, this slave in thy

656
00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Speaker 2>house did enchant us, and we could not turn our

657
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:39.320
<v Speaker 2>eyes away from him on the account of his beauty.

658
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:45.519
<v Speaker 2>She then said, this happened. This happened to you that

659
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 2>looked upon him but a moment, and you could not

660
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:54.119
<v Speaker 2>refrain yourselves. However, then can I control myself in whose

661
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:58.480
<v Speaker 2>house he abideth continually? Who see him go in and

662
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.960
<v Speaker 2>out day after day? How then should I not waste

663
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.079
<v Speaker 2>away or keep my languishing on the account of him?

664
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.760
<v Speaker 2>And the women spake, saying, it is true, who can

665
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:12.519
<v Speaker 2>look upon this beauty in this house and refrain her feelings?

666
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.920
<v Speaker 2>But he is thy slave? Why dost thou not disclose

667
00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to him that which is in thy heart? Rather than

668
00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:25.280
<v Speaker 2>suffer the life to perish through this thing? Zeluca answered them.

669
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Daily do I endeavor to persuade him? Yes, she's consistent,

670
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.480
<v Speaker 2>but he will not consent to my wishes. I promised

671
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:37.760
<v Speaker 2>him everything that is fair. Yet have I met with

672
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:45.239
<v Speaker 2>no return from him, no love, And therefore I am sick.

673
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:49.840
<v Speaker 2>As you may see, her sickness increased upon her, her

674
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:53.119
<v Speaker 2>husband and her household suspected not the cause of her decline,

675
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:56.320
<v Speaker 2>but all the women that were her friends knew that

676
00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:58.239
<v Speaker 2>it was on the account of the love that she

677
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:02.119
<v Speaker 2>bore for Joseph, and they advised her all the time

678
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:05.199
<v Speaker 2>to try to entice the youth. On a certain day,

679
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:07.920
<v Speaker 2>while Joseph was doing his master's work in the house,

680
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Zukalah came and fell suddenly upon him. But Joseph was

681
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:15.400
<v Speaker 2>stronger than she, and he pressed her down to the ground.

682
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Zukilah wept, and in a voice of supplication, and in

683
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:23.159
<v Speaker 2>bitterness of soul, she said to Joseph, hast thou ever

684
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.239
<v Speaker 2>known seen or heard of a woman my peer and beauty,

685
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:31.480
<v Speaker 2>let alone a woman with beauty exceeding mine. Yet I

686
00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:35.079
<v Speaker 2>tried daily to persuade THEE. I fall into decline through

687
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.679
<v Speaker 2>love of THEE. I confer all this honor upon THEE,

688
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:43.000
<v Speaker 2>And thou wilt not hearken unto my voice. Is it

689
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:47.199
<v Speaker 2>by reason of fear of thy Master that he punished THEE?

690
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.280
<v Speaker 2>As the King liveth No harm shall come upon THEE

691
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.000
<v Speaker 2>from the Master on the account of this thing. Now,

692
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:55.880
<v Speaker 2>therefore I pray THEE listen to me and consent unto

693
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.239
<v Speaker 2>my desire for the sake of the honor that I

694
00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:02.000
<v Speaker 2>have conferred upon THEE, and take this death away from me,

695
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:07.320
<v Speaker 2>for why should I die on the account of THEE.

696
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Joseph remained a steadfast under the importunities as before. Zukula, however,

697
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:20.360
<v Speaker 2>was not discouraged. She continued her solicitations unremittingly, day after day,

698
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:24.239
<v Speaker 2>month after month, for a whole year, but always without

699
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:28.360
<v Speaker 2>the least success. For Joseph, in his chastity, did not

700
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 2>permit himself to even look upon her. Therefore, she resorted

701
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:39.719
<v Speaker 2>to constraint. She had an iron shackle placed upon his chin,

702
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and he was compelled to keep his head up and

703
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:50.519
<v Speaker 2>look at her in the face. Yeah, men want a

704
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:57.440
<v Speaker 2>girl that's crazy about him, but not just crazy that

705
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.199
<v Speaker 2>that's a little mutch, you know what I'm saying. It's

706
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:02.679
<v Speaker 2>kind of like that movie How to Lose a Guy

707
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:08.320
<v Speaker 2>in Ten Days? How that chick was acting around. Shoot,

708
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Matthew McConaughey, that's his name. Let's see how long this

709
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:20.840
<v Speaker 2>next section is. That one was kind of long. Okay,

710
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:24.039
<v Speaker 2>it ain't that bad. I finished this one. We'll see

711
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:34.039
<v Speaker 2>what craziness this woman tries. Next. Joseph resists temptation. Seeing

712
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that she could not attain her object by intrustees or tears,

713
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Zukla finally used force when she judged that the favorable

714
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:47.679
<v Speaker 2>chance had come. She did not have She did not

715
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:52.639
<v Speaker 2>have long to wait. When the Nile overflowed its banks,

716
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and according to the annual custom of the Egyptians, all

717
00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:59.400
<v Speaker 2>repaired to the river, men and women, people and princes

718
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:06.199
<v Speaker 2>a company by music. Excuse me, Zukla remained at home

719
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:11.079
<v Speaker 2>under pretense of being sick. This was her long looked

720
00:51:11.239 --> 00:51:15.280
<v Speaker 2>for opportunity, she thought. She rose up and ascended to

721
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:19.159
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of State, and arrayed herself in princely garments.

722
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:24.760
<v Speaker 2>She placed precious stones upon her head, onyx stones set

723
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:28.079
<v Speaker 2>in silver and gold. She beautified her face and her

724
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:31.320
<v Speaker 2>body with all sorts of things for purifying of women.

725
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:37.760
<v Speaker 2>She perfumed the hall and the whole house with cassia

726
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and frankincense, spread mirror and aloes all over, and afterwards

727
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.400
<v Speaker 2>set herself down at the entrance to the hall in

728
00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:51.119
<v Speaker 2>the vestiable leading to the house, though which Joseph had

729
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to pass to his work and behold, Joseph came from

730
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.639
<v Speaker 2>the field, and he was on point of entering the

731
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:03.719
<v Speaker 2>house to do his master's work. But when he reached

732
00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:07.199
<v Speaker 2>the place where Zukila sat and saw all that she

733
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:13.639
<v Speaker 2>had done, he turned back. His mistress, perceiving it, called

734
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:18.719
<v Speaker 2>out to him, what aileth thee Joseph, to go to

735
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:21.960
<v Speaker 2>thy work. I will make room for thee, that thou

736
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:26.920
<v Speaker 2>mayst pass by to thy seat. Joseph did as she bade,

737
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and he entered the house, took his seat, and set

738
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:34.639
<v Speaker 2>about his master's work as usual. When Zukala stood before

739
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:37.360
<v Speaker 2>him suddenly, in all of her beauty of person and

740
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:42.320
<v Speaker 2>magnificence of remnant, and repeated the desires of her heart.

741
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It was the first and last time that Joseph steadfast

742
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:52.239
<v Speaker 2>Steadfastness deserted him, but only for an instant. When she

743
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:54.960
<v Speaker 2>was on the point of complying with the wish of

744
00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:59.000
<v Speaker 2>his mistress, the image of his mother Rachel appeared before him,

745
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and that of his aunt Leah, and the image of

746
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:09.119
<v Speaker 2>his father Jacob. Okay, I'm going to insert this, and

747
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:11.800
<v Speaker 2>you're you're gonna appreciate this. I want to tell you

748
00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:16.440
<v Speaker 2>a personal story that that reminded me of my first wife.

749
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:19.960
<v Speaker 2>We were like high school sweethearts, you know, we dated.

750
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, majority of high school, got married right out

751
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:26.239
<v Speaker 2>of high school, was together for you know, ten eleven

752
00:53:26.360 --> 00:53:29.599
<v Speaker 2>years before we separated. But when I was dating her

753
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:32.840
<v Speaker 2>in high school, it was like the first date that

754
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I was allowed to take her on that her father

755
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:37.519
<v Speaker 2>allowed me to and was taking her to the movies

756
00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:41.239
<v Speaker 2>and he wouldn't let her come out. And he was

757
00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:43.000
<v Speaker 2>down in the basement with his friends and they had

758
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the garage door open. He's like, come on down here, boy,

759
00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and call me down. Of course, you know, they had

760
00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:50.320
<v Speaker 2>guns laid out, like like they're cleaning guns, you know

761
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:53.280
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, doing the whole dad thing. But he

762
00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:57.840
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a lewde man, and he was, you know,

763
00:53:57.960 --> 00:53:59.760
<v Speaker 2>drinking some beer with these buddies and never cleaning on

764
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:02.039
<v Speaker 2>them guns and stuff, trying to you know, intimidate me,

765
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess. But he's like, oh, man, I remember when

766
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I was young. He said cruise in town. He said

767
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:11.239
<v Speaker 2>pretty girl in the back seat, you know, and all

768
00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:11.639
<v Speaker 2>this stuff.

769
00:54:11.679 --> 00:54:11.800
<v Speaker 1>You know.

770
00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I was just sitting there like, no, I ain't doing this,

771
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:18.679
<v Speaker 2>and then he says, uh and this is kind of leude,

772
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.679
<v Speaker 2>but I have to say it. But he's like, uh, oh,

773
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I remember being in the back seat with a girl.

774
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:26.159
<v Speaker 2>Cruise in town. He said, hands full of t and a,

775
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:29.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, And I was just sitting there like, no, dude,

776
00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:31.679
<v Speaker 2>I ain't falling for this. And then he's like, but

777
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:34.719
<v Speaker 2>when you take my daughter out, he said, and you

778
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:38.679
<v Speaker 2>find yourself in that situation, he said, you just think

779
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:43.039
<v Speaker 2>of this face. And I was always a playful, smart elec.

780
00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:45.079
<v Speaker 2>So I just looked at him and I was like,

781
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:49.559
<v Speaker 2>that'd be kind of weird, sir, And hell, his buddy

782
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:52.519
<v Speaker 2>started laughing. They thought it was hilarious. But I just

783
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:53.760
<v Speaker 2>thought of that when he was like, you know, he

784
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:55.840
<v Speaker 2>was about to give in the temptation, but he saw

785
00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:59.800
<v Speaker 2>his mother. Made you think of Darren. That's what he said.

786
00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:01.639
<v Speaker 2>He say, if you funny self in that situation, boy,

787
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:03.760
<v Speaker 2>you think of this phase. And I was like, that'd

788
00:55:03.800 --> 00:55:11.239
<v Speaker 2>be kind of weird. Bro. Sorry, I had to the

789
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:14.800
<v Speaker 2>last addressed him. Thus, in time to come, the names

790
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.880
<v Speaker 2>of thy brethren will be graving upon thy breastplate of

791
00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:21.079
<v Speaker 2>the high Priest. Dost thou desire to have thy name

792
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:25.639
<v Speaker 2>appear with theirs? Or wilt thou forfeit this honor through

793
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:30.039
<v Speaker 2>sinful conduct? For now he keepeth company with harlots and

794
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:34.320
<v Speaker 2>wasteth his sustenance. This vision of the dead, and especially

795
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:37.239
<v Speaker 2>the image of his father, brought Joseph to his senses,

796
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:43.199
<v Speaker 2>and his illicit passion departed from him. Astonished at the

797
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:46.920
<v Speaker 2>swift change in his countenance, Zukala said, my friend and

798
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:50.960
<v Speaker 2>true love, why art thou so affrightened? And thou art

799
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 2>near to swooning? Joseph, I see my father, and Zukla,

800
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.840
<v Speaker 2>where is he? Why there is none in this house?

801
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:05.880
<v Speaker 2>And Joseph says, thou belongest to a people that is

802
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:10.480
<v Speaker 2>likened to the ass it perceiveth nothing, But I belong

803
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to those who can see things. Joseph fled forth away

804
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:18.199
<v Speaker 2>from the house of his mistress, the same house in

805
00:56:18.280 --> 00:56:22.719
<v Speaker 2>which aforetime wanders had been done for Sarah kept a

806
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:27.320
<v Speaker 2>captive there by Pharaoh. But hardly was he outside when

807
00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:30.679
<v Speaker 2>the sinful passion again overwhelmed him, and he returned to

808
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Zukalis's chamber. Then the Lord appeared unto him, holding the

809
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:41.679
<v Speaker 2>ebon shint Ya. Let's look that up. I have no

810
00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:51.559
<v Speaker 2>idea what that is. Study it's thinking about it. Come on,

811
00:56:54.159 --> 00:56:55.239
<v Speaker 2>I want the synopsis.

812
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:56.039
<v Speaker 1>There we go.

813
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:03.719
<v Speaker 2>The ebon Shintya of foundation stone held supreme significance in

814
00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Jewish tradition as most important rock in the Jerusalem Temple. Okay,

815
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:18.239
<v Speaker 2>so that's a fancy word for cornerstone. Okay. Holding the

816
00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:21.400
<v Speaker 2>cornerstone in his hand, and said to him, if thou

817
00:57:21.639 --> 00:57:26.239
<v Speaker 2>touchest her, I will cast away, or I will cast

818
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:29.159
<v Speaker 2>away this stone upon which the earth is founded, and

819
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the world will fall to ruin. Sobered again, Joseph started

820
00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:37.239
<v Speaker 2>to escape from his mistress, but Zukilah caught him by

821
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:41.239
<v Speaker 2>his garment, and she said, as the king liveth if

822
00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:45.360
<v Speaker 2>thou wilt not fulfill my wish, thou must die. And

823
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:48.639
<v Speaker 2>while she spoke thus, she drew a sword with her

824
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:52.199
<v Speaker 2>free hand from under her dress, and pressing it against

825
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Joseph's throat, she said, do as I bid thee, or

826
00:57:56.159 --> 00:58:00.239
<v Speaker 2>thou diest. Joseph ran out, leaving a piece of his

827
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:04.079
<v Speaker 2>garment in the hands of Zukulah as she wrensed himself

828
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:06.440
<v Speaker 2>loose from the grasp of the woman with a quick

829
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:12.719
<v Speaker 2>energetic motion. Zukala's passion for Joseph was so violent that,

830
00:58:12.880 --> 00:58:16.599
<v Speaker 2>in lieu of his owner, whom she could not succeed

831
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:20.239
<v Speaker 2>in subduing to her will, she kissed and caressed the

832
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.960
<v Speaker 2>fragrant I'm sorry, the fragment of cloth left in her hand.

833
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh my God. At the same time, she was not

834
00:58:28.760 --> 00:58:32.760
<v Speaker 2>slow to perceive the danger into which she had put herself,

835
00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:37.239
<v Speaker 2>for she feared Joseph might possibly betray her conduct, and

836
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:42.119
<v Speaker 2>she considered ways and means of observating the consequences of

837
00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:45.000
<v Speaker 2>her folly. So now she's worried that he's going to

838
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:48.360
<v Speaker 2>go to the Potiphar and be like, hey, man, you're

839
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:51.920
<v Speaker 2>going to have to satisfy your woman. She's kind of

840
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:57.960
<v Speaker 2>left wanting here she and I can't help her. Bro Meanwhile,

841
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:01.079
<v Speaker 2>her friends returned from the Nile fast, and they came

842
00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:05.719
<v Speaker 2>to visit her and inquire after her health. They found

843
00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:09.320
<v Speaker 2>her looking wretchedly ill on account of the excitement she

844
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:12.159
<v Speaker 2>had passed through and the anxiety that she was in.

845
00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:16.559
<v Speaker 2>She confessed to the women what had happened with Joseph,

846
00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:20.280
<v Speaker 2>and they advised her to accuse him of immorality before

847
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:23.199
<v Speaker 2>her husband, and then he would be thrown into prison.

848
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:27.920
<v Speaker 2>But Zukla did not depend entirely upon the assistance of

849
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:32.199
<v Speaker 2>her friends. She planned a ruse besides, to be sure

850
00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:36.760
<v Speaker 2>of convincing her husband of Joseph's guilt. She laid aside

851
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:40.480
<v Speaker 2>her rich robes of state, put on her ordinary clothes,

852
00:59:41.000 --> 00:59:43.599
<v Speaker 2>and took to her sick bed in which she had

853
00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:47.360
<v Speaker 2>been lying when the people left to go to the festival. Also,

854
00:59:47.639 --> 00:59:50.760
<v Speaker 2>she took Joseph's torn garment and laid it out next

855
00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:54.400
<v Speaker 2>to her. Then she sent a little boy to summon

856
00:59:54.480 --> 00:59:57.119
<v Speaker 2>some of the men of her house, and to them

857
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:00.840
<v Speaker 2>she told the tale of Joseph's alleged out outrage, saying,

858
01:00:01.480 --> 01:00:04.960
<v Speaker 2>see the Hebrew slave whom your master hath brought into

859
01:00:05.119 --> 01:00:08.400
<v Speaker 2>my house, and who attempted to do violence to me

860
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:12.039
<v Speaker 2>this day. You had scarcely gone away to the festival

861
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:14.559
<v Speaker 2>when he entered the house, and making sure that no

862
01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:17.519
<v Speaker 2>one was here, he tried to force me to yield

863
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>to his lustful desire. But I grasped his clothes and

864
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.639
<v Speaker 2>tore them and cried with a loud voice. When he

865
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>heard that, I lifted up my voice and cried. He

866
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:31.679
<v Speaker 2>was seized with fear, and fled and got and got

867
01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:35.800
<v Speaker 2>him out, But he left his garment by me. The

868
01:00:35.880 --> 01:00:38.639
<v Speaker 2>men of her house spake not a word, but in

869
01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>a rage against Joseph. They went into their master and

870
01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>reported to him what had come to pass in the meantime,

871
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.559
<v Speaker 2>the husbands of Zukala's friends had also spoken to Potiphar

872
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>at the instigation of their wives and complained of his

873
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:09.320
<v Speaker 2>slave that he molested them. Mister why not, So what's

874
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>the scholar's opinion? Yeah, well, that's my thing is like

875
01:01:14.360 --> 01:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I trusted a lot of scholars, and then when I

876
01:01:17.320 --> 01:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>looked into it myself, I was like, hell the hell

877
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>did they not see this? But no, I said at

878
01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>the start of every show, this is not canon, this

879
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>is legends, this is mythology. So it's a cultural thing.

880
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:32.119
<v Speaker 2>We're reading this to see what they thought, what they believed,

881
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the stories they were sharing, and it kind of you

882
01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:36.519
<v Speaker 2>puts you in the mindset of the people of the time.

883
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:38.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm not saying any of this is thus

884
01:01:38.679 --> 01:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>said the Lord here, but this is you know, cultural study,

885
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:44.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to get a better understanding of the

886
01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:48.559
<v Speaker 2>peoples of the time. Which that's something Mike Kaiser really

887
01:01:48.679 --> 01:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>really pushed. He's like, you know, you guys need to

888
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>be reading these extra biblical books. You need to be

889
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>reading their legends and stuff, because you've got to step

890
01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>into their shoes if you're going to understand this ancient book.

891
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Because we're looking at with modern eyes, thinking we're so smart.

892
01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.239
<v Speaker 2>He said, we're not catching anything. They're trying to lay

893
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:07.039
<v Speaker 2>down because we don't know their culture. So that's what

894
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:11.599
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to do here. Potiphar hastened home, and he

895
01:02:11.719 --> 01:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>found his wife in low spirits, and though the cause

896
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:19.239
<v Speaker 2>of her dejection was charging at not having succeeded in

897
01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:23.880
<v Speaker 2>winning Joseph's love, she pretended that it was anger at

898
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>the immortal conduct of the slave. She accused him of

899
01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the following words, Old husband, mayst thou not live a

900
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>day longer if thou dost not punish the wicked slave

901
01:02:36.360 --> 01:02:39.679
<v Speaker 2>that hath desired to defile thy bed. That hath not

902
01:02:40.039 --> 01:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>kept in mind who he has when he came to

903
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>our house to demean himself with modesty, Nor hath he

904
01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:51.239
<v Speaker 2>been mindful of the favors that he has received by

905
01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>thy bounty. He did lay a privy design to abuse

906
01:02:56.119 --> 01:03:00.920
<v Speaker 2>thy wife at this time of observing the fast, when

907
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>thou wouldst be absent These words she spoke at the

908
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:09.760
<v Speaker 2>moment of conjugal intimacy with Potiphar o pillow talk, when

909
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:13.239
<v Speaker 2>she was certain of exerting an influence upon her husband,

910
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Potiphar gave credence to her words, and he had Joseph

911
01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>flogged unmercifully. While the cruel blows fell upon him, he

912
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:24.920
<v Speaker 2>cried to God, O, Lord, thou knowest that I am

913
01:03:25.039 --> 01:03:28.519
<v Speaker 2>innocent of these things? And why should I die today

914
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>on the account of a false accusation by the hands

915
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:36.119
<v Speaker 2>of these uncircumcised, unpious men. God opened the mouth of

916
01:03:36.199 --> 01:03:41.159
<v Speaker 2>zukal as child, a babe of but eleven months, and

917
01:03:41.320 --> 01:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>she spoke to the men that were beating Joseph, saying,

918
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:47.679
<v Speaker 2>what is your quarrel with this man? Why do you

919
01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:52.679
<v Speaker 2>inflict such evil upon him? Lies? My mother does speak

920
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and deceit is what her mouth uttereth. This is the

921
01:03:57.519 --> 01:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>true tale of that which did happen. And the child

922
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>proceeded to tell all that had passed how Zukula had

923
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>tried first to persuade Joseph to act wickedly, and then

924
01:04:10.119 --> 01:04:13.119
<v Speaker 2>had tried to force him to do her will. The

925
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>people listened in great amazement. I bet they did. But

926
01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>the report finished, the child spoke no word, as before.

927
01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Abashed by the speech of his own infant son, Potiphar

928
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:30.159
<v Speaker 2>commanded his bailiffs to leave off from chastising Joseph, and

929
01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the matter was brought into court, where priests sat as judges.

930
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Joseph protested his innocence and related all that had happened

931
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:43.760
<v Speaker 2>according to the truth, but Potiphar's repeated the account his

932
01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:47.039
<v Speaker 2>wife had given him. The judges ordered that the garment

933
01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>of Joseph to be brought, which Zukila had in her possession,

934
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>and they examined the terror therein. It turned out to

935
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:58.239
<v Speaker 2>be the front part of the mantle, and they came

936
01:04:58.400 --> 01:05:01.280
<v Speaker 2>to the conclusion that Zukala I had tried to hold

937
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:06.119
<v Speaker 2>him fast and had been foiled in her attempt by Joseph,

938
01:05:06.559 --> 01:05:10.639
<v Speaker 2>against whom she was now lodging a trumped up charge.

939
01:05:11.599 --> 01:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Trumped up charge that shows that's a later writing. I'm

940
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>sure they wasn't using that terminology. Then they decided that

941
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Joseph had not incurred the death penalty, but they condemned

942
01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:27.159
<v Speaker 2>him to incarceration because he was the cause of a

943
01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>stain upon Zukla's fair name. He was the stain. Potterphard

944
01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:36.960
<v Speaker 2>himself was convinced of Joseph's innocence, and when he cast

945
01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>him into prison, he said to him, I know that

946
01:05:40.119 --> 01:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>thou art not guilty of this vile crime. But I

947
01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:49.679
<v Speaker 2>must put the endurance least a taint cling to my children. Okay, Like, yeah,

948
01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I know she's crazy and I know she's lying, but

949
01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I can't admit that because then everybody's going to know

950
01:05:57.119 --> 01:06:02.079
<v Speaker 2>my family's crazy. I can't have that. So that's the

951
01:06:02.199 --> 01:06:04.719
<v Speaker 2>end of this one. Guys. We'll pick up next time

952
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Joseph in prison. So we'll pick up where he's thrown

953
01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>into prison, and we'll see what happens next week. I'll

954
01:06:14.519 --> 01:06:16.679
<v Speaker 2>move all this stuff over here. I'll check him to

955
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:18.760
<v Speaker 2>you guys in the chat though, before we sign off

956
01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>and see what's happening. Woman has hutspah. What is hutspah? Wait,

957
01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>this is a new term. Can't be thrown around these

958
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty dollars words on my chat? Not explaining him to Sullly.

959
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>She wants to take him to the train station. Yeah,

960
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's trying hard. But the thing is, it's

961
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>all about some music. You know. She just got to

962
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:59.480
<v Speaker 2>play the right song, you know what I mean. It's

963
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:09.679
<v Speaker 2>all about the mood music man, Pam. The same drama

964
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>at work. What you got supervisors trying to seduce the

965
01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:46.159
<v Speaker 2>help over there, Stax Farmstead. He said, tain't lol, uh no, Wade,

966
01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:55.159
<v Speaker 2>it's a Jewish term for confidence. All right, guys, man,

967
01:07:55.239 --> 01:07:57.400
<v Speaker 2>that's it. We're going to bring this plane down to

968
01:07:57.519 --> 01:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a landing. I hope you guys enjoy the readings. They're fun,

969
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:04.840
<v Speaker 2>and like I said, you know some of them. Some

970
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:07.239
<v Speaker 2>of you guys have been here for all the episodes,

971
01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:10.320
<v Speaker 2>so you know some of the stuff gets pretty crazy.

972
01:08:10.760 --> 01:08:13.559
<v Speaker 2>But I do agree with the gentleman in the chat

973
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:15.079
<v Speaker 2>was like, this is like a soap opera.

974
01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>It is.

975
01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>It's like this one was kind of out there. But

976
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:22.039
<v Speaker 2>like I said in the beginning of the show, where

977
01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I try to say at the beginning of every show,

978
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not saying all this stuff is true.

979
01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:28.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying thus said the Lord here. And just

980
01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:31.119
<v Speaker 2>like what I read, one of those modern terms that

981
01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:33.520
<v Speaker 2>was used that shows you it's a later writing. But

982
01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Ginsburg went, you know, I think it was in the

983
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:40.720
<v Speaker 2>early nineteen hundreds and went to the Jewish people and

984
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>got all their legends and lore and kind of compiled

985
01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>them all into a six book series. So some of

986
01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:48.800
<v Speaker 2>them are old and some of them I think are

987
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wouldn't say maybe one hundred percent factual.

988
01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:55.239
<v Speaker 2>But there's a lot of truth nuggets in there, I believe,

989
01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:57.800
<v Speaker 2>because they fit too perfectly in the Bible, not too

990
01:08:57.960 --> 01:08:59.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, And they don't contradict scripture.

991
01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:02.439
<v Speaker 2>That's something I always say. I try to use scripture

992
01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:06.079
<v Speaker 2>as the anchor points. I mean, that's the measuring stick.

993
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:08.319
<v Speaker 2>So when I read this stuff, you know, I'd just

994
01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:10.479
<v Speaker 2>like to read it for cultural context, to see what

995
01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:13.039
<v Speaker 2>they were talking about, what their stories were. But a

996
01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:15.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of times, you know, you'll find stuff that, Man,

997
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>it fits perfectly in scripture and answers ambiguous questions and

998
01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:22.640
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't contradict the rest of the story. So to me, like, man,

999
01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>those are keepers. But man, I love you guys. Man,

1000
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I hope you enjoyed that. Man, we're here every single Sunday,

1001
01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:33.880
<v Speaker 2>eight pm Eastern Standard times. You want to come on back, man,

1002
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to have you back. Mondays, which is tomorrow.

1003
01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:40.560
<v Speaker 2>That is when I do my life premieres and I

1004
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:42.680
<v Speaker 2>do my recordings and we have a live chat there,

1005
01:09:43.359 --> 01:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>so come check us out there. We do those at

1006
01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:48.359
<v Speaker 2>six pm Eastern Standard time because I had a lot

1007
01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>of friends that were doing their shows at eight on Mondays,

1008
01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.439
<v Speaker 2>so I bump my time back a little bit. That way,

1009
01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:59.359
<v Speaker 2>you guys can see all the great shows that's going

1010
01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>on around right now. But uh, I got brad Leel

1011
01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:06.640
<v Speaker 2>from the Awakened podcast and we're talking about word magic,

1012
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the power of words. You know, the scripture says life

1013
01:10:09.800 --> 01:10:12.319
<v Speaker 2>and death lining the power of tongue. So you got

1014
01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:16.239
<v Speaker 2>to choose your words wisely, like man I love y'all,

1015
01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>man Hey torches high. Guys. Just remember the difference between

1016
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the known and the unknown that gives the journey. Good journey,

1017
01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:24.399
<v Speaker 2>my friends.

1018
01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:43.520
<v Speaker 3>So we steal the fire, still frozen by around they

1019
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:44.079
<v Speaker 3>cont
