And it's just fun because, I mean, you 58 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:21.879 get a little bit of everything. You get a little 59 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.879 bit conspiracy, you get some round tables with different podcasters, 60 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.400 and then you even get some comedy in there, so 61 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:34.080 you get a shmortgash board of entertainments. Well, if you 62 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.039 guys are ready, before we get into it, just a 63 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.680 disclaimer if you are new and this is your first 64 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.319 time here, we are reading through Lewis and Ginsburg Legends 65 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.719 of the Jews. This is not canon, this is not scripture, 66 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.000 So I'm not saying, thus said the Lord here. But 67 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.400 this is legends. This is traditions and oral traditions and 68 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.400 their mythologies, all their different stories and legends, all just 69 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.159 compiled by this guy named Lewis Ginsburg. He went through 70 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.280 and compiled them all and put them into us series 71 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.240 of books. So in the very least, it's a good 72 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.360 cultural deep dive. You kind of get to go back 73 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.400 in time and step into the shoes of the ancient 74 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.039 people and see what they believe. Man, and a lot 75 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.199 of this stuff it ties right into the Bible. I mean, 76 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.000 for me, when I see it's just like a hand 77 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.959 and glove. But of course, like anything, you know, when 78 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.879 you're eating chicken, you get some bones. So when we 79 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.560 find those bones, we just throw them over our shoulder 80 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.920 and keep going. But guys, let's get don into this. 81 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.759 I know you guys are ready. I sometimes get a 82 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.879 little long winded in these intros, so we'll just try 83 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.560 to cut to the chase. Here. Let me switch my screen. 84 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.800 We'll go to share scream. I don't get everything adjusted. 85 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.360 And for those that don't know, last time we let 86 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:52.000 off or yeah, we signed off. At the selling of Joseph, 87 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.040 his brothers got tired of his mouth talking about how 88 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.959 he's going to rule over them and strutting around in 89 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:03.319 that priestley E. Fodd saying that the stars of heaven 90 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.000 even bowed before him, and so will his brothers. So 91 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.399 they had enough. They're like, okay, now we're gonna throw 92 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:10.120 you down in a hole. 93 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:10.360 Man. 94 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.800 It'll be like Alice in chains, down in a hole. Yeah, 95 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.040 I'm sorry. So we're picking up here and it's Joseph's 96 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:22.399 Three Masters. So I'm assuming, uh, we're now in Egypt. 97 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.279 We have arrived. 98 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:25.560 Mm hmm. 99 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.720 Let me adjust this a little bit. Where you go 100 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:40.879 there we go bangor rang ruffe? Oh, mad packs? 101 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:41.279 What's up? 102 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:47.319 And brother, what's happening? Welcome, welcome, okay, here we go, 103 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:59.160 all right, Joseph three Masters. As a rule, the only 104 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.199 merchandise with which the Ishmaelights loaded their camels was pitch 105 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.680 and the skins of beasts. By a providential dispensation, they 106 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.600 carried bags of perfumery. This time, instead of their usual 107 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.160 ill smelling freight. The sweet fragrance might be wafted to 108 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.160 Joseph on his journey to Egypt. These aromatic substances were 109 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.680 well suited to Joseph, whose body emended a pleasant smell. 110 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.319 And what's kind of funny too, is that kind of 111 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.480 ties into the garments. If you guys remember in Genesis 112 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:42.759 it talks about when Jacob I'm sorry, yeah, Jacob, when 113 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.279 he goes to deceive his father. It says that he 114 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.519 puts on, you know, the wooly garment, you know, to 115 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.959 try to fool his dad, his brother Esau. But then 116 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.839 it also says that Rebecca goes into Esau's tent and 117 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.040 takes his special garment. So he takes his special garment, 118 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.079 which we know from the Book of Jasher is the 119 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.519 priestly e fod the aka the coat of many colors. 120 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.480 So he passed it on to his son Joseph. But 121 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.439 when he went into his father's tent, he even remarks 122 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:17.959 about his smell. I've heard some commentators like Joseph, not Josephas. 123 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.600 Rashi said that he thinks that it was the the 124 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.439 fragrance of heaven, a sweet smelling fragrance, you know, from 125 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.879 heaven that was coming off of the garments. So that 126 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.120 was his opinion of But I kind of pitched around, 127 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.680 maybe he was just foul smelling, you know, because he said, oh, 128 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.480 you even smell of the field, my son. You know 129 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:42.160 you get the stinky smells from sasquatch. Oh man, thank 130 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:42.680 you so much. 131 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.120 Max. 132 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.759 I appreciate that, bro very very much. We'll give you 133 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.519 air horn. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 134 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:48.720 Bro. 135 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.959 So I continue on, but I've just seen that, and 136 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.800 I wanted to bring it up. Whose body emitted a 137 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.279 pleasant smell and pervasive that the road along which he 138 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:08.240 traveled was redolent thereof, And on his arrival in Egypt, 139 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.720 the perfume from his body spread over the whole land, 140 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.360 and the royal princesses, following the sweet scent to trace 141 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:19.759 its source, reached the place in which Joseph was. Even 142 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.720 after his death, the same fragrance was spread abroad by 143 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.399 his bones, enabling Moses to distinguish Joseph's remains from all 144 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.040 the others and keep the oath of the children of 145 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:35.120 Israel to enter them into the Holy Land. When Joseph 146 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.960 learned that the Ishmaelites were carrying him into Egypt, he 147 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.519 began to weep bitterly at the thought of being removed 148 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.480 so far from Canaan and from his father. One of 149 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.000 the Ishmaelites noticed Joseph's weeping and crying, and thinking that 150 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.559 he found writing uncomfortable, he lifted him from the back 151 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.159 of the camel and permitted him to walk on foot. 152 00:08:53.720 --> 00:09:01.039 But Joseph continued to weep and sob crying incessantly. Father Father, 153 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:06.080 another one of the caravan, tried of his lamentations beat him, 154 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.679 causing only the more tears and wales, until the youth, 155 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:14.679 exhausted by his grief, was unable to move on. Now, 156 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.720 all the Ishmaelites in the company out blows to him. 157 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.240 They treated him with the relentless cruelty and tried to 158 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.279 silence him by threats. God saw Joseph's distress, and he 159 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.720 sent darkness in terror upon the Ishmaelites, and their hands 160 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:34.200 grew rigid when they raised them to inflict a blow. Astonished, 161 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.919 they asked themselves why God did thus unto them, and 162 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.759 upon the road they did not know that it was 163 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:46.000 for the sake of Joseph. The journey continued until they 164 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:52.559 came to Ephrath, the place of rachel Sepulcher. Joseph hastened 165 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.519 to his mother's grave, and throwing himself across it, he 166 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.240 groaned and cried, saying, O Mother Mother, that didst thou 167 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.360 bear me. Come forth and see how thy son hath 168 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:07.200 been sold into slavery, with none to take pity upon him. Arise, 169 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.919 see thy son, and weep for me over my misfortune, 170 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.759 and observe the heartlessness of my brethren. Awake, o Mother, 171 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.279 arise thyself from thy sleep. Rise up and prepare for 172 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:22.960 the conflict with my brethren, who stripped me even of 173 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:28.279 my shirt and sold me as a slave to a merchantman. Arise, 174 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.679 o mother, awake from thy sleep. See how thy father 175 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.399 is with me in his soul and in his spirit, 176 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.039 and comfort him and ease his heavy heart. Joseph wept 177 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.440 and cried upon the grave of his mother, until weary 178 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.360 from grief, he lay immobile as a stone. Then he 179 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.039 heard a voice, heavy with tears speak to him from 180 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.120 the depths, saying, my son, Joseph, my son, I heard 181 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.200 thy complaints in thy groans, I saw thy tears, and 182 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.200 I knew thy misery. My son, I am grieved for 183 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.519 thy sake, and thy flick is added to the burden 184 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.240 of my affliction. But my son, Joseph, put thy trust 185 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.960 in God and wait upon him. Fear not, for the 186 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.639 Lord is with thee, and he will deliver thee from 187 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.799 all evil. Go down into Egypt with thy masters, my son, 188 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.559 fear not, for the Lord is with thee, O, my son, 189 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.799 this and much more liking to it. Did the voice utter, 190 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:29.559 and then it was silent. Joseph listened in great amazement 191 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.799 at first, and then he broke out in renewed tears, 192 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.240 angered thy. Thereby one of the Ishmaelites drove him from 193 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.360 his mother's grave with kicks and curses. Then Joseph entreated 194 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.200 his masters to take him back to his father, who 195 00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:47.279 would give them great riches as a reward. But they said, 196 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.720 while thou art a slave, how canst thou know whether 197 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.039 thy father is? If thou hast had a free man 198 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.879 as father, thou wouldst not have been sold twice for 199 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:02.039 a petty sum. In their fury against him increased, they 200 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:10.120 beat him and mail treated him, and he wept bitter tears. 201 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.080 Now God looked upon the distress of Joseph, and he 202 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.480 set darkness and shrouded the land once more. A storm raged, 203 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.960 and lightning flashed, and from the thunderbolts the whole earth trembled, 204 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.759 and the Ishmaelites lost their way. In their terror, the 205 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.720 beasts and the camels stood still and beat them as 206 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.320 their drivers would. They refused to budge from the spot, 207 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:38.200 but crouched down upon the ground. Then the Ishmaelites spoke 208 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.159 to another and said, why hath God brought this upon us? 209 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.519 What are our sins? What is our trespasses? What such 210 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.960 things befall us? One of them said to the others preadventure, 211 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.480 this hath come upon us by reason of the sin 212 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.879 which we have committed against this slave. Let us beg 213 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.879 him earnestly to grant us forgiveness. And if then God 214 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.759 will take pity and let these storms pass from us, 215 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.919 we shall know that we have suffered harm on the 216 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.120 account of the injury we inflicted upon the slave. You know, 217 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.960 so this kind of sounds like the story of Jonah. 218 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.960 Remember he was on the ship and all the storms came, 219 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:16.960 and they was like, oh, what is this is happening to us? 220 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.840 And finally, you know, Jonah comes forwards like, oh, it's 221 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.879 because of me. I disobeyed God, and now I'm on 222 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.519 the run trying to run, So just throw me in. 223 00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.159 The Ishmaelites did according to these words, and they said, 224 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.840 unto Joseph, we have sinned against God and against thee 225 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.159 pray to Thy God and entreat him to take his 226 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:40.039 death plague from us, for we acknowledge that we have 227 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.080 sinned against him. Joseph fulfilled their wish, and God hearkened 228 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:49.279 unto their petition, and the storm was a surged. All 229 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:53.320 around became calm, The beast arose from their recumbent position, 230 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.279 and the caravan could proceed upon its way. Now the 231 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.279 Ishmaelites saw plainly that all their trouble had come to 232 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.279 them for the sake of Joseph, and they spoke to 233 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.600 one another, saying, we know now that all this evil 234 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.480 hath happened to us on the account of this poor fellow, 235 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.200 and therefore should we bring death upon ourselves by our 236 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:18.000 own doings, let us take counsel together, that is to 237 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.200 be done with the slave. One of them advised that 238 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.559 Joseph's wished to be fulfilled and be taken back to 239 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.799 his father, then they would be sure of receiving the 240 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.519 money they had paid out for him. This plan was 241 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.960 rejected because they had accomplished a great part of their 242 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:38.240 journey and they were not too inclined to retrace their steps. 243 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.679 They therefore resolved upon carrying Joseph to Egypt, and seeing 244 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.519 him there, they would rid themselves of this rid themselves 245 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.200 of him in this way, and also receive a great 246 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:53.159 price for him. They continued their journey as far as 247 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.960 the borders of Egypt, and there they met four men 248 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.799 descendants of medin Or meeting the son of Abraham, and 249 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.559 to these they sold Joseph for five shekels. The two companies, 250 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.519 the Ishmaelites and the Midian Knights, arrived in Egypt upon 251 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:14.039 the same day. The latter, hearing that Potiphar, an officer 252 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.919 of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, was seeking a 253 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.039 good slave, repared to him at once to try to 254 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.120 dispose of Joseph. To him, Potiphar was willing to pay 255 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.120 as much as four hundred pieces of silver, and a 256 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.000 high as price was, it did not seem too great 257 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.480 for the slave that pleased him, and much as Joseph. However, 258 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:40.399 they made a condition. He said to the Midianites, I 259 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:43.320 will pay you the price demanded, but you must bring 260 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.240 me the person that sold the slave to you, that 261 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.279 I may be in the position to find out all 262 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.799 about him. For the youth seems to me to be 263 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.360 neither a slave nor a son of a slave. He 264 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.840 appears to be of noble blood. I must convince myself 265 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.960 that he is not stolen. The median Knites brought the 266 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.080 ishmael Lights to Potiphar, and they testified that Joseph was 267 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.799 a slave, that they had owned him and sold him 268 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.840 to the Midianites. Potipar rested. Satisfied with this report, he 269 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.279 paid the price that they asked for Joseph, and the 270 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:25.399 Midianites and the ishmael Lights went their separate ways. So 271 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:30.480 here we get their their journey down to Egypt, and 272 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.879 they follow some troubles and they start praying, you know, 273 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:35.799 or talking amongst themselves. It's like, oh my god, what 274 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.159 are we gonna do with this dude? I mean, he's 275 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.120 got with us all these troubles end up just taking 276 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.639 him on down and getting rid of him. So you 277 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.120 get a little extra context to this story. Oh no, 278 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.639 thank you, Garrett, looking good with them ears lowered. 279 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:53.320 Appreciate it. 280 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.200 I ain't gonna lie. I miss I miss I miss 281 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.120 having it back there a little bit. I don't miss 282 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.399 the heat from it, though, So I think it'll I 283 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.640 have the snowbird hair. I'll keep the mullet short in 284 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:07.839 the summertime in the wintertime. I'll let it grow out, 285 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:15.160 bring it back for winter. Okay, Joseph's coat brought to 286 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.839 his father. And just a little tidbit, I'll say this 287 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.799 where I get started. I find it very interesting. I 288 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.759 talk about it in the book too, the Epic of Esaul. 289 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.319 It's like a foreshadowing of Christ almost because a lot 290 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.039 of people don't realize is that the Jewish people believed 291 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.200 in two Messiah's. So they believed in the Yosiah ben Joseph, 292 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.359 which was Joseph, and then the Coming Messiah was the 293 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.240 you know, supposed to be the conquering king to overthrow 294 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.559 the you know, their captors and things like that. So 295 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.200 I think we see though that coat of many colors 296 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:58.240 that priestly ephod on Jesus in revelation, and if we remember, 297 00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.599 he comes in on a white horse, and it describes 298 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.039 this beautiful garment he's wearing it on the thighs is 299 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.160 the king of King's lord of lords. And then it 300 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.839 says that there's blood stains, you know, all the way 301 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:10.559 up to the bridle, so you know, he's stained in 302 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.079 blood and trampled all over you in blood. I threw 303 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.200 out the idea, you know, could this possibly be like God, 304 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.039 you know, trying to as a last resort, trying to 305 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.440 show his stiff necked people that don't believe that he's 306 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.599 the Messiah. It's like, okay, you believe in this. Josiah 307 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.000 and Joseph and his garment was taken and dipped in 308 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.599 blood and returned to his father. So now here I 309 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.160 am the returning king with this garment on and with 310 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:39.559 the bloodstains, just like Joseph. Because I think we see 311 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.960 that even with the Moses, they had Moses in such 312 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:45.559 high regard. If you pay attention to the story of Jesus, 313 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:50.039 they stacked pretty much everything that Moses did side by 314 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.680 side with Jesus. But where Moses failed, Jesus succeeded. So 315 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.440 it's kind of showing them how you put so much 316 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.200 stock in this dude? Right here, man, Look I'm better 317 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:04.039 in every way. For instance, they flee, both of them 318 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.160 flee to Egypt to be saved because a king is 319 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.759 trying to kill the first borns, right, So Moses and 320 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.000 Jesus go to Egypt, and that's how they escape death. 321 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.119 They both go through the waters. Moses goes through the 322 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.359 Red Sea and goes into the wilderness for forty years, 323 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.920 and it's tempted, you know, and tested, and then they 324 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.319 fell repeatedly. Jesus is baptized, he goes through the water. 325 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:24.920 What does he do. 326 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.480 He goes to the wilderness for forty days and it's 327 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:32.559 tempted by Satan, but surpasses every single test. Right, So 328 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.400 you have these, you know, correlations, and even Moses holding 329 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.799 up the staff with the bronze serpent. You know, they 330 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.000 said he's on a pole that's lifted up, just as 331 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.839 Christ is lifted up on a pole. So I find 332 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.759 that stuff interesting. I kind of nerd out on that 333 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.880 kind of stuff, but I'll read here it says no 334 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.640 sooner was the sale of Joseph an accomplished fact than 335 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.279 the sons of Jacob repented of their deed. They even 336 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.440 hastened to act the Medianites to ransom Joseph, but their 337 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.839 efforts were overtaken them. Their efforts to overtake them were 338 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.839 in vain, and they had to accept the inevitable. Meantime, 339 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.960 Reuben had rejoined his brethren. He had been so deeply 340 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.279 absorbed in penance, in praying and studying the Torah in 341 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:24.000 expectation of his sin against his father that he had 342 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:27.039 not been able to remain with his brethren and tend 343 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.440 the flocks, and thus it happened that he was not 344 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.000 on the spot when Joseph was sold. His first errand 345 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.279 was to go to the pit in the hope of 346 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:40.079 finding Joseph there. In that case he would have carried 347 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.519 him off and restored him to his father clandestinely, without 348 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.640 the knowledge of his brethren. He stood at the opening 349 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:52.480 and called again and again Joseph, Joseph. As he received 350 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.839 no answer, he concluded that Joseph had perished, either by 351 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.279 reason of terror or the result of a snake bite, 352 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.240 and need it into the pit, only to find that 353 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.200 he was not there, either living nor dead. He mounted 354 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.680 to the top again and rent his clothes and cried out, 355 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.839 the lad is not here, and what answer shall I 356 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:16.160 give to my father if he be dead? Then Reuben 357 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.960 returned it to his brethren and told them that Joseph 358 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:24.519 had vanished from the pit, Whereat he was deeply grieved 359 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:28.119 because he, being the eldest of the sons, was responsible 360 00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:33.759 for their father Jacob, the brethren made a clean breast 361 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.160 of what they had done with Joseph. So I guess 362 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:38.839 you I mean, they got it off their chest, you know, 363 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.240 so to speak. And they related to him how they 364 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.440 had tried to make good their evil deed, and how 365 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:51.119 their efforts had been in vain. Now there remained nothing 366 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.640 to do but invent a plausible explanation for their brother's 367 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.920 disappearance to give to Jacob. First of all, however, they 368 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.319 took an oath not to be tray to his father 369 00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:05.640 or any human being what they had actually done with Joseph. 370 00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:07.799 He who violated the oath would be put to the 371 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.599 sword by the rest. Then they took counsel together about 372 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.519 what to say to Jacob, and was Iscar's advice to 373 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.279 tear Joseph's coat of many colors and dip it into 374 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.160 the blood of a little kid of the goats, and 375 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.880 make Jacob believe that his son had been torn by 376 00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:28.599 wild beasts. The reason he suggested a kid was because 377 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:37.519 its blood looks like human blood. And expect expectation of 378 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:43.160 this act, I guess it's just spelt weird, or it 379 00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:47.440 looks weird to me. In expectation of this active deception, 380 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.160 it was ordaining that a kid be used as a 381 00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:55.160 atonement sacrifice. When the tabernacle was dedicated. Simon opposed this suggestion. 382 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.839 He did not want to relinquish Joseph's coat, and he 383 00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.799 threatened to huge anyone that should attempt to wrest it 384 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.480 from him by force, because he knew how important it was. 385 00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:07.640 You know, this was the supernatural garment from the garden 386 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:12.839 of God, the birthright. This was the birthright. The reason 387 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:16.720 for his vehemence was that he was very much enraged 388 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.960 against his brethren for not having slain Joseph. But they 389 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.079 threatened him in turning, saying, if that will not give 390 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.000 up the coat, we shall say that thou didst execute 391 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:31.880 the evil deed thyself, oh blackmailed him. At that Simon 392 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.160 surrendered it, and nef Talley brought it to Jacob, handing 393 00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:38.319 it to him with the words, when we were dividing 394 00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.799 our herds homeward, we found this garment covered in blood 395 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:46.319 and dust, upon the highway a little beyond. Shechem no 396 00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:49.599 now whether it be thy Son's coat or not. Jacob 397 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:53.240 recognized Joseph's coat, and, overwhelmed by grief, he fell prostrate 398 00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.559 a long lay on his ground, motionless like a stone. 399 00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:59.799 Then he arose and set up a loud cry, and wept. 400 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:05.680 It is my son's coat. In great haste, Jacob dispatched 401 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.160
