She went to inquire of the Lord go ahead and the Lord said unto her two nations I in thy womb and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels So Rebecca had two people two nations in her womb two nations are in thy womb and two manner of people shall be separated from Thy bowels men and these people would be complete polar opposites of one another go ahead and the one people shall be stronger than the other and one people shall be stronger than the other of these two children come on and the elder shall serve the younger and the future meaning future prophecy the elder shall serve the younger so whoever comes out first is destined to one day serve the younger child let's see who that is go ahead and when her days to be delivered were fulfilled and when her days to be delivered were fulfilled read behold there were twins in her womb she had twins read and the first came out read all all over like in hairy garment.
And it said the first child came out red all over like in hairy garment. This first child was red and hairy. All right? Meaning you could see his blood through his skin.
Read. And they called his name Esau. Wasted away is he because his melanin was wasted away.
He had no melanin. Right? Come on. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was three-square years old when she bared them.
And Isaac was three-square, meaning 60 years old when she bared them. It said Jacob took hold on Esau's heel, they named him Jacob. Jacob wasn't described because Jacob looked like everyone from Adam up until his time.
Jacob looked like he was a black man. He had melanin, he was a black man. It doesn't say what skin tone, he could have been brown, could have been light brown, could have been very dark.
But Jacob was... a black man Esau was red and hairy he had a lack of melanin that's why they called him Esau which means wasted away is he he had a waste way a wasted away melanin key read verse 27 verse 27 read and the boys grew and Esau was a cunning hunter uh-huh a man of the field uh-huh and Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents showing you the difference one of them like to go out in this and hunt and well I did have a scribe I thought I had a scribe brothers y'all gonna scribe one of your brothers gonna scribe I think Judas said he was gonna scribe that Could you describe, we started off at Genesis 36 verse 1, then we jumped from there, now we jumped to Genesis 25 verse 21, and now we're down to verse 28, okay? Genesis 25, 21 through 28. We're at 28 now.
Go ahead. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison. Uh-huh.
But Rebekah loved Jacob. Rebekah loved Jacob, read. And Jacob saw it potted.
Uh-huh. And Esau came from the field, and he was faint. Read.
Eat me I pray thee with that same red pot that uncooked meat that red pot is meaning uncooked meat read By him faint read therefore was his name called either either means read Therefore his name was called eat him cuz he wanted that same red pot is that red meat? Alright now go back to Genesis 36 Reverse one again Go ahead Now these are the generations of Esau who was eating we found out why his name His name was changed to Edom and who Esau was. Esau was the twin brother, the eldest brother between Jacob and Esau, which were the sons of Isaac and Rebekah. All right? Esau's name was changed to Edom because he wanted red raw meat.
You understand? His name was changed to Edom because Edom means red. All right? So now verse 2. Verse 2. Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan, Ada, the daughter of Elon, the Hittite.
Uh-huh. And Ahol Abama, the daughter of Anna, the daughter of Zibion the Hivite, and Beshamah, Ishmael's daughter, sister of... So some of you may be like, well, why did he take a wife of the land of Canaan? Remember, this is Genesis or Barashav, which is the beginning of nations.
So with that being said. The reason he took a wife of the Hivites and the Hittites of the Canaanites is because there were no other Edomites. You understand? He was the first of the Edomites. You understand?
So his lineage would have to, of course, go through these women. So he had to get these Hamitic women because there were no other women of his nation. You understand?
Because he was the first. Right? Go ahead. And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all the persons of his house. Uh-huh.
and his cattle and all his beasts and all his substance which he had got in the land of canaan and went into the country from the face of his brother jacob read but their riches were more than they might more than that they might dwell together so you know when you read in malachi 1 and 4 it says edom says we are impoverished but we return and build the desolate places they weren't in the caucasus mountains yet they were in canaan and they went from canaan and they it's going to tell you where they dwelled later here in just a minute but esau was rich They were, he was the son of Isaac, which came from Abraham. We had abundance of riches. Our people was a very rich people from the lineage of Abraham down to Isaac and then down to Jacob and Esau.
So Jacob was rich and so was Esau at this time. Go ahead. For their riches were more than that they might dwell together. And the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. Now imagine that.
That's how much wealth both Jacob and Esau had combined. You understand? They didn't have enough room for them in the land of Canaan for them to both dwell there at the same time because of their riches.
You also read about that in Genesis, I believe, the 13th chapter. You read about the same thing when it came to Lot and Abraham. Their riches were so abundant that they couldn't dwell in the same land. So it shows you the magnitude of riches Esau had at this time. Go ahead.
Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir. Read. Esau is Edom.
So it said, Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir. right, and we're going to get into that a little bit deeper a little bit later, right, so it says, thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir, Mount Seir is going into the craves and the rocks, go to that in Obadiah real quick, chapter one, reverse three, I'm going to see if I can pull up a map so we can find the exact location of Mount Seir. Go to Obadiah 1. Let's read verse 3. Obadiah. While I get my Zondervan. Verse 3. Go ahead.
The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock. What did the Bible say? Thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock.
It said, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock. It's going into Esau. Start at verse 1. Verse 1. The vision of Obadiah, thus said the Lord God, concerning Edom.
Concerning who? Edom. Concerning Edom. Concerning Edom.
Keep reading. We have heard a rumor from the Lord. Uh-huh.
And an ambassador is sent among the heathen. Go ahead. Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. Read.
Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen. Read. Thou art greatly despised.
Go ahead. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee. Thou that dwelleth in the clefts of the rock. Thou that dwelleth in the clefts of the rock. Alright, so let me find Mount Seir.
Let's look that up. Because we're going through these chapters, we want to make sure everybody has a full understanding to the best of their ability. And that's what we're here to give.
Alright, so let's look at Mount Seir. I see Mount Ephraim. Let me just look up Edom. Give me a second, y'all.
I just want to make sure we're on point. All right, the Edomites, the country was called Seir of Mount Seir, which was the name of the territory in which the Edomites lived. All right, so that's going into Mount Seir.
All right, so go back, go back to Genesis chapter 36, verse 8. Genesis chapter 36 verse 8. This is the book of Genesis chapter 36 in verse 8. Come on. Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir. Uh-huh. Esau is Edom. So Esau dwelt in the clefts of the rock.
Go ahead. And these are the generations of Esau. Read.
The father of the Edomites. The what? The father of the Edomites. The father of the Edomites.
So that's why we mentioned earlier about how he had to give wives of Canaan because he was the first Edomite. So once he had children, he became the father of the lineage or the race known as the Edomites. Remember, we are reading Genesis, the beginning of nations. Read. The father of the Edomites.
uh-huh these are the names of esau's sons eliphaz the son of ada the wife of esau ruel the son of beshamah the wife of esau uh-huh and the sons of eliphaz were teaming so the sons of eliphaz were teaming teaming is what we know today is the so-called caucasian german caucasian all right i'm gonna show you an example of that real quick uh i don't have the book on hand but i do have the title of the book uh if you can see this can you all see this it says edom and and Germany Yair Davide Yair Davide so Edom and Germany the Germans know that they're Edomites put it to you like that Hitler knew he was an Edomite because they descend from Teman which was one of the sons of Eliphaz which was one of Esau's grandsons going from there go to the book of Obadiah chapter 1 we're going to read verse 8 real quick Obadiah chapter 1 verse 8 Book of Odiah chapter 1 let's read verse 8 Teman, Teman, Teman Odiah verse 8 Go ahead Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom? Mm-hmm And understanding out of the mount of Esau? and thy mighty men oh teaming oh two teaming because when you look at the grand skillet thing a lot of science comes from germany okay a lot of the mainstream uh nuclear weapons technology a lot of different technology comes from germany okay germany has a uh i was born in germany actually has a uh what's the word futuristic type they do a lot of different uh high technology there in teaming or in germany so the lord called germany the mighty men are the wise men of Esau okay go ahead and thy mighty men O teman shall be dismayed to the end that every one of the Mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter so that's going to a future prophecy of how the Lord is gonna destroy their technology and destroy all of their science alright so go back to the book of Genesis 36 reverse 11 Genesis 36 and 11. And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatham, and Kanaz.
And Temna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son. So Eliphaz, Esau's son, had a concubine named Temna. Read. And she bared to Eliphaz Amalek. And what'd she bear?
Amalek. Amalek. So Amalek was the grandson of Esau.
But! But! Eliphaz did, this was not his main wife, this was a concubine, okay?
Now, look up the word bastard on your phone, and I'm going to show you something. I'm going to show you something. So, Eliphaz had a son named Amalek by his concubine, Timna, okay? So, let me find the word, you got the word bastard you got on your phone? Yes.
Pull it up. Okay, bastard. There are a few definitions. Go ahead. An unpleasant or despicable person, a person of a specified kind, a difficult or awkward undertaking, situation, or device, or a person born of parents not married to each other.
A person born of parents not married to each other. Read. You want some synonyms? You gonna say somebody illegitimate. You ain't got it in the-You gonna say illegitimate child.
Yeah, yeah, read that, yeah. Illegitimate child, child born out of wedlock, love child. Bible, I don't know what that is. Alright, so read it now in the Zonovan Bible Dictionary too.
Alright, this is the definition of bastard in the Zonovan Bible Dictionary. Go ahead. Specifically, child of incest.
Child of what? Incest. Okay. Appears only three times in scripture.
Read. Twice in the Old Testament, once in the New Testament. In Deuteronomy 23 and 2, it probably means a child of incest. Not simply an illegitimate child.
Such were excluded from the assembly of the Lord. Right. Zechariah 9 and 6. So let's read that. Zechariah 9 and 6. That's why I wanted to get it. I wanted you to get it there so we can read it here.
Get the back of Zechariah. You can drop this. So a bastard is an illegitimate child or a child that was born out of wedlock or to parents that were not married to one another.
Of course, we know that a concubine is a lesser wife, but it's not the actual wife. Okay. Go ahead. Zechariah chapter 9 and verse 6. Because they had multiple concubines. Read what you got.
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod. What did the Bible say? And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod. A bastard shall dwell in Ashdod.
Ashdod is modern-day Tel Aviv. Showing you that who is in Tel Aviv today. Bastards. Amalek.
All right, go back. Genesis chapter 36, verse 12. Let's read that again. Genesis chapter 36 and verse 12. And Timnah was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son.
And she bared to Eliphaz Amalek. These were the sons of Adah, Esau's wife. And these are the sons of Reuel, Nahab, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mazzah. These were the sons of Bashamah, Esau's wife. And these were the sons of Aholabamah, the daughter of Anna, the daughter of Zibion, Esau's wife.
And she bared to Esau, Jeush. and Jelan and Cora. These were the dukes of the sons of Esau.
So when you go into dukes, it's going into the chief of their tribes. Okay, the leaders of their tribes. Read. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn son of Esau, Duke Teman. Duke Teman.
Duke Omar. Duke Omar. Duke Zepho.
Uh-huh. Duke Canaz. Uh-huh. Duke Korah. Duke Gatham.
And Duke Amalek. And Duke Amalek. Read.
These are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. Read. These were the sons of Adom.
Read. And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau's son. Duke Nahai, Duke Zerah, Duke Shammah, Duke Mazzah, these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom.
These are the sons of Vashemah, Esau's wife. Uh-huh. And these are the sons of Aholabamah, Esau's wife, Duke Jayush, Duke Jalum, Duke Korah.
These were the dukes that came of Aholabamah, the daughter of Anna, Esau's wife. These are the sons of Esau who is Edom, and these are their dukes. These are their leaders, their dukes, their chiefs of their tribes, read. These are the sons of Seir, the Horite, who inhabited the land, Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibion, and Anna, and Deshan, and Ezer, and Deshan. These are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
So it said, these are the dukes of the Horites. So the Horites were the original inhabitants of the land of Edom, or the Mount Seir, excuse me. Go to Genesis 14, verse 6. Genesis chapter 14 and verse 6. Genesis chapter 14 in verse 6. Read. And the Horites in their Mount Seir unto El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
So it says, and the Horites in their Mount Seir. So the Horites were the original inhabitants of Mount Seir. Alright? Go to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 2, verse 22. Deuteronomy 2 and 22. Deuteronomy chapter 2, verse 22. as he did to the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir when he destroyed the whore rooms from before them and they succeeded them and dwelt in their stead even unto this day so the Lord destroyed the whore rights before I mount see it before Edom so the Edom could dwell in Mount Seir all right go back to Genesis 36 and what were you left off it verse 21 Yeah, read 21 again. Genesis chapter 36 verse 21. Right, yeah, the Dukes of Hazzard.
Yeah, they know who they are, the Dukes of Hazzard. Duke University, the Blue Devils. No, they're the Red Devils. They're the Edomites.
Go ahead. And Deshaun and Ezer and Deshaun. These are the Dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
And the children of Lotan were Hori and Haman. And Lotan's sister was Timna. And the children of Shobal were these, Alvin and Manahit and Ebal.
Shefo and Onam. And these are the children of Zibion, both Aya and Ana. This was that Ana that found the mules in the wilderness as he fed the asses of Zibion his father. Go ahead.
And the children of Ana were these, Deshan and the whole of Bama, the daughter of Ana. And these are the children of Dishan, Hemdan, Eshbon, and Ithron, and Charan. The children of Ezer are these, Bilhan, and Zavon, and Achan. The children of Dishan are these, Uz, and Aaron.
These are the Dukes that came of the Horites. Duke Lotan, Duke Shabal, Duke Zibion, Duke Anah. So remember the Horites were the ones that dwelt in Mount Seir before Edom did. Before the Lord destroyed them and put Edom in their place.
Okay, go ahead. Duke Deshan, Duke Ezer, Duke Deshan. These are the Dukes that came of Hori among the Dukes in the land of Seir. And these are the Kings that reigned in the land of Edom before there reigned any King over the children of Israel. So we didn't have a King reign over us until King Saul.
Okay, there wasn't a King that was established over us until King Saul. You read about that in the book of 1 Samuel, the 8th chapter on into the 9th chapter. All right, we asked for a King like the other nations in chapter 8. And then in chapter 9, the Lord sought out Saul, alright? Go ahead.
Verse 32. And Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom. And the name of his city was Denhabah. And Bela died. And Jobab, the son of Zerah of Basra, reigned in his state. Remember Basra.
That's a key name in Edom. Go ahead. And Jobab died. And Husham of the land of Timani reigned in his state.
Read. And Husham died. and her dad the son of be dead who smoked Midian in the field of Moab rained in his state right in his state read the name of his city was a bit a bit and hey dad died and Sam la of master car rained in his state and samla died and saw of Rehoboth by the river rained in his state re and saw died and by her none the son of Akbar reigned in his state And Baal Hanan, the son of Agbor, died, and Hadar reigned in his stead. And the name of his city was Pow.
And his wife's name was Mahitabel, the daughter of Matrid, the daughter of Mezahab. Go ahead. And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau.
These are the names of the dukes that came from Esau. So we had kings that reigned in Esau before Israel ever had a kingdom or ever had a king reign over us. My thing is smoking, ain't it? Go ahead. According to their families, after their places, by their names, Duke Timnah, Duke Alba, Duke Jeheh.
Just that, excuse me. Duke Aholabama, Duke Elah, Duke Panan, Duke Kanaz, Duke Teman, Duke Mibzar, Duke Magdiel, Duke Aram. These be the Dukes of Edom, according to their habitation in the land of their possession.
He is Esau, the father of the Edomites. He is Esau, the father of the Edomites. He the damn devil of the Bible speaker. I couldn't go into it like I wanted to.
All right, let's jump into chapter 37 now. We're done with Genesis chapter 36. Just a quick recap. Genesis chapter 36 gives us a list of the lineage of Esau and his descendants.
Esau is the so-called white man today. We looked into Timon, which is the so-called Germans today. We look into Amalek, which is the so-called Jewish Edomite today.
They call themselves an Israeli. All right, later on, we went through all the dukes. We went through all the chief of his tribes. Then we went to the Horites who inhabited Mount Seir. We figured out that Mount Seir was the clefts of the rock that the scripture is talking about.
So then we're dealing with the Horites, right? Which dwelt in Mount Seir before Esau. And Esau destroyed them or the Lord destroyed them before Esau. So Esau could dwell there, right? And we went through the lineage of the Edomites from the beginning.
So the beginning of the Edomite nation, all right? Let's go to chapter 37 now. Genesis chapter 37 and verse 1. We're going to read a little bit loud also. Yes, sir. And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
Uh-huh. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being 17 years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren.
And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wife. And Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. So Joseph was, Leviticus chapter 5 verse 1. The brothers was doing much evil away from Jacob.
So Joseph was the child. I believe he was the youngest. No, Benjamin was the youngest, actually.
Benjamin came after Joseph, right? Joseph snitched, okay? Let's see if that's biblical. Get Leviticus chapter 5, verse 1. Leviticus chapter 5 and verse 1. Go ahead. And if a soul sin and hear the voice of swearing and is a witness, whether he have seen or known of it.
If you do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. I'm showing you that law always been around. Joseph understood that. Joseph brought back Jacob, the evil reporter. Brothers out there doing much evil.
Joseph brought that thing out. Go ahead. Go back to Genesis 37. You read verse 3 now. Genesis 37 and 3. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children. Because he was the son of his old age.
Uh-huh. And he made him a coat of many colors. So he loved Joseph because Joseph was, like it says, the child of his old age, and he made a coat of many colors. So he was special to him.
Read. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him and could not speak peaceably unto him. That's some real deal hatred.
They had hatred for their brother because he was their father's favorite. It says, and when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him and could not speak peacefully unto him. They're going on in Israel today.
Got so much hatred, you can't even shalom a brother or sister. It's the same spirit. Same spirit back on the earth.
All right? Go ahead. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren, and they hated him yet the more.
And he said, Joseph dreamed a dream. And he told his brethren and they hated him yet the more Joseph was a dreamer go ahead and he said unto them Here I pray you this dream which I have dreamed. For behold, we were binding sheaves in the field. And lo, my sheaf arose and also stood upright.
And behold, your sheaves stood around about and made obeisance to my sheaves. He said that he had a dream of him and his brethren. And he said that they were out binding sheaves. And his sheaves stood upright in righteousness. And behold, your sheaves stood around about and made obeisance to my sheaves.
So, let's go to the book of Hosea chapter 12 verse 10 real quick. Showing you that's how the fourth that's how the Lord dealt with a lot of our forefathers. He showed them dreams and interpretations of dreams.
Go ahead Hosea 12 and team. I have also spoken by the prophets and I have multiplied vision or dreams read and you similar to similar to By the ministry of the prophet. So the Lord showed him a similitude of a sheath standing upright Right and the bible says and if their and his sheath stood upright and his brother's sheaths made obeisance to his That was an allegory or a similitude of something to come.
And we're going to get into that more here in a minute. Go ahead. Genesis 37 and verse 8. Uh-huh. And his brethren said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us?
Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
But they understood what the dream was about. The dream was about him reigning over them. And they didn't like that.
They already knew that their father loved him more. So it aggravated them even more that he was having these type of dreams. Okay? Go from there real quick. Go to the book of Sirach real quick.
Chapter 34. So Rock's out for 34. And let's read verse 3 real quick. Sirach chapter 34 and verse 3. Sirach 34 and verse 3. The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another. So it says the vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another. He saw sheaves, but it was the resemblance of one thing to another.
He saw the sheaves, but the sheaves was a representation of himself. And the other sheaves that stood and made obeisance to his sheaves was a representation of his brothers. Right?
Come on. Even as the likeness of a face to a face. See that?
Even as the likeness of a face to a face. Go back to Genesis 37 verse 9. Genesis 37 and 9. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more, and behold, The sun and the moon and the 11 stars made obeisance to me. So he said, and I have dreamed yet another dream.
And he told his brother again, he said, behold, I have dreamed a dream more. And behold, the sun and the moon and the 11 stars made obeisance to me. So it's the sun, the moon, and the 11 stars.
Go to the book of Revelation. You know what I want? Chapter 12, verse 1. Let's see what the 12 stars were signifying or what was the allegory behind it. Revelation chapter 12 verse 1. Go ahead.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven. Read. A woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet.
And upon her head, a crown of 12 stars. A crown of 12 stars. A crown of 12 stars. So who was that woman? Go to Jeremiah chapter 6 verse 2. See what that woman was, the vision that John the Revelator saw in the book of Revelation.
Go ahead. Jeremiah chapter 6 verse 2. I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. He have likened the daughter of Zion, meaning the Israelites, to a comely and delicate woman. So the woman that we read about in Revelation with the 12 stars is representation of the children of Israel, the nation of Israel, and the 12 stars is each tribe, 12 tribes. So go back to the book of Genesis.
37 verse 9. Genesis 37 and 9. And he dreamed of another dream and told it his brethren and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more. And behold, the sun and the moon and the 11 stars made obeisance to me. Now, in Revelation 12 verse 1, the sun and the moon resembles light or represents light, which is the laws and commandments, wisdom and understanding.
This sun and moon is going to tell you in verse 10 what it's talking about. Verse 10. Verse 10. And he told it to his father. and to his brother and his father rebuked him and said unto him what is this dream that thy dream shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth you see that so Jacob understood what he was saying Jacob said the Sun and the moon represents the father and the mother and the twelve stars or eleven stars represented his brothers you understand so that's what that's going into the eleven stars represented his brothers And the Sun and the Moon represent his father and his mother.
That's why Jacob said that. Now did that happen? Go to the book of Genesis chapter 47 and verse 1. Let's see what the dream was. What was the interpretation of the dream that he had? Let's see if it actually happened.
Because remember Jacob rebuked him and said, what is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brother indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? Let's see if that happened. Go ahead. Genesis 47 verse 1. Genesis chapter 47 verse 1. Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said, my father and my brother.
And their flocks and their herd and all that they have are come out of the land of Canaan. And behold, they are in the land of Goshen. So let me bring you up to speed. There was a famine in all the land. Egypt was the only place that had food.
The only reason that was is because Joseph dreamed a dream while he was in prison. And he came to the Pharaoh and taught him how to save food. Seven years for famine, he took back a fifth part, saved food.
So when the seven years of famine came, before the seven years of famine, they had seven years of plenteousness. He took a fifth part, so during the seven years of famine, the only place in that area that had food was what? was Egypt because of Joseph. So now it's a famine in the land. Joseph's brother come down to get food.
I'm just bringing, giving you just speed of time. Y'all gonna read it later. So now his brothers and his father have to come to him for food and for refuge in the land of Egypt, right? Go ahead.
And he took some of his brethren, even five men and presented them unto Pharaoh. Read. Pharaoh said unto his brethren, Read.
What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers. They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come.
For thy servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan. Now therefore we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. and Pharaoh spake unto Joseph saying thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee so after they come unto and they told him that the occupation he told him remember Joseph told him in 46 he said tell him that you shepherds because shepherds are an abomination to the Egyptians so he said tell him your shepherds and he'll let you dwell in the land of Goshen so now we read right here what Pharaoh then pulled Joseph to the side go ahead The land of Egypt is before thee. In the best of the land, make thy father and thy brethren to dwell. What did he say?
In the best of the land, make thy father and brethren to dwell. So how did they dwell there? Because of Joseph's connection in Egypt. So they did bow down themselves to him.
His dream did come true. Read. then the land of goshen let them dwell and if thou knowest any man of activity amongst them then make them rulers over my calumet and joseph brought in jacob his father and set him before pharaoh and jacob blessed pharaoh and pharaoh said unto jacob how old art thou And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years.
Few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers, and the days of their pilgrimage. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Ramses.
As Pharaoh had commanded. Read. And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father's household with bread, according to their families. So it says that, And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father's household with bread, according to their families. Showing you that Joseph's dream came true.
So go back to Genesis 37 verse 10. I just wanted to show you that history real quick so it can make sense what his dream was about. Go ahead. Genesis 37 verse 10. And he told it to his father and to his brethren.
And his father rebuked him and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee, to the earth? And his brethren envied him, but his father observed the same. It said his father thought about it, but his brothers was pissed. Go ahead.
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? Come and I will send thee unto them and he said to him here Am I and he said to him go I pray thee see whether it be well with thy brethren and well with the flocks and bring Me word again So he sent him out of the veil of hebron and he came to Shechem and a certain man found him and behold He was wandering in the field and the man asked him saying what seekest thou?
What you looking for reek? And he said I seek my brethren tell me I pray thee where they feed their flocks reek the man said they are departed hence and But I heard them say, let us go to Dothan. Joseph went out to his brethren and found them in Dothan. And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. So it says that the brothers.
I saw Joseph coming towards them from afar. They saw his coat. He got that big old beautiful coat with all them diverse colors.
So they saw him coming and as he was coming they were conspiring what they can do to harm their brother. They had that much envy and hatred for their brother. Get that real quick in the book of... Wisdom of Solomon chapter 6 and verse 22, I believe it is. Wisdom of Solomon chapter 6 verse 22. This is the book of the wisdom of Solomon chapter 6 and verse 22. One second, let me look at it.
23. Verse 23. Neither will I go with consuming envy. You see, because envy consumes you. The brothers were so consumed with their envy, they didn't realize that they had the devil on them and they were conspiring to kill their own brother.
Read. For such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom. The wisdom leaves you. When you allow envy to overcome you, the wisdom leaves you for that moment in time. They had the devil on them.
That's why I said they conspired against their brother because they envied him. Go back to Genesis chapter 37 and verse 18. Genesis 37, 18. And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. Uh-huh. And they said one to another, behold, this dreamer cometh.
He said, behold, this dreamer cometh. Read. Come now, therefore, and let us slay him and cast him into some pit. And we will say, some evil beasts have devoured him. And we shall say, and we shall see what will become of his dream.
So he said, they were trying to set the brother up to be killed. It's the same spirit Cain had on him. It's the same spirit Esau got on him. It's the same spirit a lot of Israelites have on them.
That's why the scriptures say, do not hate your brother in your heart. If you hate your brother in your heart, you are a murderer. Get that in 1 John 3.15 real quick. That inner hatred for their brother caused them to conspire to kill him.
Go ahead, 1 John 3 and 15. 1 John 3 and 15. Go ahead. Whosoever hated his brother is a murderer. Read.
And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. And so it said, whosoever hated his brother is a murderer. And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. They had so much hatred for their brother, they were already plotting to murder him.
What that really means is also, when you think about us today, That if you could get away with it, you would kill that person. That's how much you have hatred for that person. Inner hatred for that person. That if you can get away with it, you would kill him.
Right? Go back to Genesis 37. What was that? Verse 21 now?
21 now, yeah. Genesis 37 verse 21 and Reuben heard it and he delivered him out of their hands and said let us not kill him So Reuben had compassion on the brother go ahead and Reuben said unto them shed no blood But cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness and lay no hand upon him That he might rid him that he might rid him out of their hands to deliver him to his father again Read and it came so he so Reuben set it up He was like let's throw him in the pit and I'm gonna come back later on and get him later and get bring it back To daddy cuz I know daddy gonna be hurt if he did Right, and plus that's my brother. So Reuben had a little compassion. Read.
Verse 23. And it came to pass when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him. And they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty. There was no water in it.
So you know this wasn't easy. They had to grab the brother, snatch his coat off of him, and then throw him down violently into the pit. That's how much hatred they had for their brother.
Go ahead. And they sat down to eat bread. Uh-huh. And they lift up their eyes. And they sat down like they didn't just throw their brother in the pit and just snatch his coat off of him, just sat down to eat bread.
That's what inner hatred does. It consumes you. You don't look at yourself as being wrong. You just go on with the Satan. Whatever Satan say do, you go on with it at that moment.
Go ahead. And they sat down to eat bread. And they lift up their eyes and looked. And behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and bombs. and Myrrh going to carry it down to Egypt.
Now Ishmaelites, of course, is the so-called Arab man today. Not Esau, the Arab man. And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood?
So Judah said, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? That was the same thing that happened during the time of Genesis, the fourth chapter, where Esau tried to, I mean, excuse me, what, Cain, same thing, Cain, Esau, same thing, same spirit, tried to conceal the blood of his brother, right? Go ahead.
And they, excuse me, in verse 27, Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. Then there passed by many a night merchant men, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silk, and they brought Joseph into Egypt. So they sold my brother into Egypt. Bam!
And Reuben returned into the pit. Behold and behold, Joseph was not in the pit and he rent his clothes. So when they rent their clothes.
That mean they were panicking like, oh God, he destroyed his clothes, he ran his clothes, because he realized, he came back to get his brother, he realized his brother was gone already, because the Midianites had sold him into Egypt. Go ahead. And he returned it to his brethren and said, the child is not, and I, whither shall I go? And they took Joseph's coat and killed the kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood. And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found.
Know now whether it is true or not. Know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. And he knew it and said, it is my son's coat. And evil beasts have devoured him. Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
So now Jacob panicking because he think his son dead, right? Now these brothers don't know what done happened to him, but they done dipped his blood, they done dipped the coat in blood just to make it seem like we ain't had nothing to do with it, he got devoured. That's some evil stuff right there, man. That's some wickedness right there.
Give me that real quick in Leviticus 19.11. Let me show you what law they was guilty of. Genesis 19, Leviticus 19, 11, yes. Leviticus chapter 19, verse 11. Go ahead.
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. So not only did they deal falsely, they lied to their father. And they dealt falsely because they didn't know what really had happened.
They knew that he was gone. He wasn't in there, but he took his coat. They had already taken his coat from him, and they dipped it in blood. They don't really know what had happened to the brother.
But they had to make it seem as if he was torn by some wild beasts. Right? Go ahead. That's alright.
Verse 20. No, we was at verse 34. Verse 34, yes. Genesis 36, 37 and verse 24, 34. And Jacob rent his clothes and put sackcloth upon his loins and mourned for his son many days. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him.
But he refused to be comforted. And he said, for I will go down into the grave unto my son, mourning. This thus his father wept for him.
Read. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt.
Read. Unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's and captain of the guard. So the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's and captain of the guard. So now he is about to be a part of Potiphar's household. All right.
So we're going to continue with that in chapter 39. Let's go to chapter 38 now. So to recap chapter 37. Chapter 37 is the introduction of Joseph being a dreamer, being his father's favorite, right? His brothers had envy of him.
He dreamed many dreams that his brothers and his father and all of them would obey him and would make obeisance to him. We read about that in Genesis 47, what had actually happened, right? So then later on in the chapter, you see where the brothers conspired together to kill their brother. They threw him down in a pit, stripped him of his coat, went down to eat. Ruben said, hey look, we don't need to kill him, he's our brother, let's at least sell him.
You understand? Or excuse me, Judah said that, right? But Reuben had the intent to go back later and find their brother in the pit and bring him home.
Unfortunately, the Midianites got there before they returned and sold him to the Ishmaelites that were going down to Egypt for balm and oil and so on and so forth. Then they sold him to Potiphar, which is Pharaoh's officer. Also, they went, the brothers conspired together, dipped his coat in blood of a kid, which is a baby goat, right? And went back to Joseph, I mean, went back to Jacob and told him basically, that he had been torn to pieces or let him led him on to believe they're falsely with him to let him on to believe that joseph had been torn to pieces by um some wild beast okay so now we're in chapter 38 genesis 38 and verse 1 genesis chapter 38 verse 1 and it came to pass at that time that judah went down from his brethren and turned in to a certain adulamite whose name was and judah saw there a daughter of a certain canaanite whose name was Shua, and he took her and went in unto her.
Had sex with her, read. And she conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Ur. So Judah had sex with her, and he called his name, and she had a son and called his name Ur, read.
And she conceived again and bare a son, and she called his name Onan. So Ur and Onan were the first two sons of Judah, read. And she yet again conceived and bare a son.
and called his name Shiloh and he was at Chazib when she bare him and Judah took a wife for Ur his firstborn whose name was Tamar and Ur, Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the Lord so wait a minute it said and Judah took a wife for Ur his firstborn whose name was Tamar so Tamar was the daughter-in-law or the wife of his firstborn son Ur It said, First Judahite. Damn. First Judahite. Man, waking his head.
Go ahead. Verse 8. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his. And it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. So this also became a law later on.
This then became a law later on. Let's read that in Deuteronomy 25 and 5 real quick. Deuteronomy chapter 25 let's read verse 5 the book of Deuteronomy chapter 25 verse 5 if brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger read her husband's brother shall go in unto her same account the husband's brother shall go in unto her read and take her to him to wife read and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her see that it's saying and perform the duties of a brother's husband unto her read And it shall be that the firstborn which ye bear shall succeed in the name of his brother Which is it that his name be not put out of Israel read and if the man like and if the man So the reason for that so there's thought of his brother So his thought that the the brothers that died see can remain in Israel his name could remain in Israel Right go ahead and if the man like not to take his brother's wife and if the man said I don't want to do that Go ahead Then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders and say, He'll go to the elders and say, read, My husband's brother refuses to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel. Read.
He will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. Read. Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him.
And if he stand to it and say, I like not to take her. I don't want to take her. Read.
Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders and loose his shoe from off his foot. Uh-huh. and spit in his face and shall answer and say so shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house see that and so shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house that was the duty this became a law later on after it happened in genesis 38 it became a law during the time of moses because the brother's lineage wanted to be wanted to keep the brother's name in israel because he died before he was able to have a child the brother said i don't want to do that she go tell the elders the wife or the brother that died go tell the elders that he don't want to perform that It said that she would be able to loose his shoe from off his foot and spit in his face and shall answer and say, so shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house. Read. And his name shall be called in Israel, the house of him that hath his shoe loosed.
And that became, what's the word? I don't know. I can't say stereotype.
That would just become his name. You know what I'm saying? He would be known as the brother that wouldn't build up his brother's house.
Put it to you like that. Now go back to Genesis 38 and verse, uh, read 8 and 9 again together. Genesis 38 and 8. And Judah said unto Onan, go in unto thy brother's wife and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his. He knew it wasn't going to be his seed because it was going to be given to his brother for his brother's name.
Same thing we read in Deuteronomy 25. Read. And it came to pass when he went into his. Brother's wife that he spilled it on the ground at least that he should give seed to his brother now Some people say well if I'm having sex with my wife and I pull out that sin That's not what that scripture is saying.
This was strictly because he would not raise up the seed to his brother Okay, that was all it was. It had nothing to do with the fact that he pulled out Okay, so brothers you won't pull out you pull out that's on you. You understand.
I don't want nobody to be saying that Oh, I see so we can't pull out. We got it. Just leave it in.
I ain't say that brother You understand that the Bible is talking about specifically about the fact that he would not raise up seed to his brother go ahead verse 10 and the thing which he did displeased the lord wherefore he slew him also so the lord killed his brother too why because he wouldn't raise up seed to his brother not because he pulled out read and the thing which he did oh excuse me 11 then said judah to tamar his daughter-in-law remain a widow at thy father's house till she like my son be grown you But he said, Let's pray adventure. He died also as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
And in process of time, the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife, died. And Judah was comforted and went up unto his sheep shearers to Timnah. He and his friend Harab the Adulamite.
So Judah's wife died. So then he told Tamar, he said, Sis. Just wait until Shalah is old enough. When he's old enough, he'll be able to be your husband. He'll raise up seed to his brother.
Right? But then later on, his wife died. I mean, talking about Judah's. Judah's wife died. Her name was Shuah.
Read. Verse 13. And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goes up to Timnath to shear his sheep. And she put her widow's garments off from her. and covered her with a veil and wrapped herself and sat in an open place which is by the way to Timnah for she saw that Shelah was grown and she was not given unto him to wife so when she saw that Shelah was grown and he wasn't giving to her to wife or she wasn't giving him to wife she was like something ain't right about this so she heard about her father-in-law going up so she wrapped herself in clothing she wrapped herself she took her widow's garment off and she wrapped herself in a veil read When Judas saw her, he thought her to be in harlot, because she had covered her face. Because she had covered her face.
Go from there real quick. Go to Proverbs 17, just to show you that it was always known what a harlot dressed like. When men saw certain women, they knew they was a harlot.
Just like today, we see women dressed half naked, booty shorts, tight tights, little skimpy skirts trying to show off their figure. We know, oh, she got a whore's mindset. She's a whore, according to the Bible.
Right? Come on. Proverbs 17. And behold, there met him a woman.
with the entire of an harlot and was subtle of heart so he knew that she was a harlot because of her attire go back go back to the book of genesis i mean yeah genesis 36 and uh reverse 15 one more time genesis 38 and 15 when judah saw her he thought her to be a harlot read because she had covered her face read and he turned unto her by the way and said go to i pray thee let me come in up to thee But he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law. So he wanted to have sex with the heart, but he didn't know that was his daughter-in-law, read. And she said, what will thou give me that thou mayest come in unto me?
She said, what you going to give me that you can come in unto me? Go ahead. And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, will thou give me a pledge to thou send it?
Read. And he said, what pledge shall I give thee? So a pledge is like he giving her like a token or a bracelet or something to ensure.
That insurance policy that he gonna do what he said he was gonna do, read. And she said, thy signet and thy bracelets and thy staff that is in thine hand. So she said, I want the signet, the bracelets, and that staff that is in your hand, read. And he gave it to her and came in unto her and she conceived by him.
And so he had sex with her and then she got pregnant, read. And she arose and went away and laid by her veil from her. and put on the garments of her widowhood. Read.
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend, the Adulamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand. But he found her not. So he sent his boy back with the kid to receive the pledge, right?
And come to find out, she ain't nowhere to be found. Read. Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where's the harlot that was openly by the wayside? What a harlot that was over here.
Go ahead. And they said there was no harlot. Remember he said that on life.
You ain't never seen life, man. You seen it, you probably don't remember. He said that on life, he said, what that girl that was on? He said, what that waitress?
He said, what girl? He said, next time I come in here, you know what? I start choking. That's what girl that was on life after she was stealing all his money in the car game. Y'all know what I'm talking about.
Y'all seen it. Go ahead. Verse 22. And he returned to 321 again 21 that's funny to me then y'all seen life right come on I know y'all seen life remember Eddie Murphy came in there and the sister was stealing all the cars from up under helping uh Winston I know y'all remember that, right?
Somebody tell me they remember that part on life. I see 253 people online. Somebody remember that online. Okay, so I see somebody got the laughing face. He said, what girl?
He said, what that girl? He said, what girl? He said, Nathan, how am I coming here? You know what?
I started choking. That's what girl. Okay, I'll pray.
I'll just make a shot. No, he Israelites on here. That's the same life now. Go ahead, I'm sorry y'all, I'm sorry. Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot that was openly by the wayside?
Where that girl at? Where that harlot that was openly by the wayside, Reed? And they said, there was no harlot in this place.
He said, there ain't no harlot in here. What girl, Reed? And he returned to Judah, and said, I could not find her.
And also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. There wasn't no harlot here. So a doulamite went back to him and said, Hey man, wasn't no harlot there.
And the brother said, wasn't no harlot there. Go ahead. And Judah said, Let us take it to her, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. And it came to pass, about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar, thy daughter-in-law, hath played the harlot.
See, I hear whoring, Reed. And also, behold, she is with child by whoring. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. Now, it said, wait a minute now. Wait a minute.
It says, and it came to pass about three months after that it was told Judas, saying, Tamar, thy daughter-in-law, hath played the harlot. And also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judas said, Bring her forth, let her be burnt.
This is the reason why. Go to the book of Sirach, chapter 23, and let's read verse 21. 22, real quick. 23 and 22. Go ahead.
Thus shall it go also with the wife. that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another. For first she hath disobeyed the law of the Most High, and secondly she hath trespassed against her own husband. And thirdly she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children by another man.
She shall be brought out into the congregation, and inquisition shall be made of her children. Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall bring forth no fruit. And she shall leave her memory to be cursed. And her reproach shall not be blotted out. So it was a shame for a woman to bring in child by another, playing the harlot.
Remember, she was promised to his son. Even though he didn't fulfill his promise by giving her to Shalai when he was born, when he was older, she still was promised to his son. So he was saying that she had went out and played the harlot because he didn't realize when he had sex with her that she was the woman that he had sex with.
Also, go to the book of Sirach 42 and read verse... 10. The book of Sirach, chapter 42, verse 10. And her virginity, lest she should be defiled, and gotten with child in her father's house. Remember he said, go to your father's house until I get, until I, until Shalai gets older. So she in her father's house, he was under the impression that she had had sex with someone else.
That's why she was pregnant. Read. And having a husband, lest she should misbehave herself.
And having a husband, lest she should misbehave herself. Read. And when she is married. Unless she should be barren. Unless she should be barren.
All right, now go back. Go back to Genesis. Let's finish 38. Chapter 38, verse 25 now.
Genesis 38, 25. Read. When she was brought forth, she said to her father-in-law, saying, By the man whose deeds are, am I with child? She said, she said to her father-in-law, said, By the man whose deeds are, am I with child? Read. And she said, Discern, I pray thee.
Who are these? The signet and bracelet and staff. So she broke that back out. She's like, okay, whose signet is this?
Whose bracelet is this? And whose staff is this? By this man, I'm a child.
Read. And Judah acknowledged them and said, Damn, he said, damn to mine, read. She hath been more righteous than I.
She been more righteous than me, why? Because that I gave her not to Shalah my son. Because I was supposed to give her to my son, but I didn't do it, read. And he knew her again no more. And he knew her again no more, he hadn't had sex with her again, read.
And it came to pass at the time of her travail, that behold, twins were in her womb. And it came to pass when she travailed, that the one put out his hand, and the midwife took and bound. upon his head a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out, and she said, How hast thou broken forth? This breach be upon thee.
Therefore his name was called Pharaoh. His name was called Pharaoh. And afterwards came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
And his name was called Zerah. All right, so Phares and Zerah, there's twins, okay? All right, so we got a quick recap of Genesis chapter 38. In Genesis chapter 38, we read about how Judah had sons, Er and Onan. Er died.
Onan was supposed to raise up seed to his brother. Onan didn't do it, so the Lord killed him, right? Then he had a younger son named Shelah.
Shelah was who the sister of Tamar was supposed to be promised to. But when he got old enough, Judah didn't give it to her. Like, he'd give her to him like he was supposed to. So Judah, so she playing up with a plot to have sex with the father-in-law named, who is Judah, our forefather Judah. She wrapped herself as a harlot.
When she wrapped herself as a harlot, Judah went into her. He gave her his signet. He gave her his staff.
And he gave her his, what is he gave her? Bracelet. So, right? So, as a token for her.
So, when he sent the kid back to her and found out that she wasn't there. And there wasn't a harlot in this place. Right?
And that's when he found out later on when he called her in. He found out that he had actually had sex with her. And she had a child, two sons, Perez and Zara. Okay? So that's a recap of chapter 38. So let's go to chapter 39 now.
Chapter 39. Genesis 39 verse 1 y'all. Come on. And Joseph was brought down to Egypt.
And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, brought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down. Read. The Lord was with Joseph.
And he was a prosperous man, and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. So it said the Lord was with Joseph in his captivity, right? Even though Joseph was in captivity, the Lord was still walking with Joseph.
Read. And his master saw that the Lord was with him. And he saw that everything that Joseph touched was prospered, was blessed, because the Lord was with him. Read. And that the Lord made all that he had did to prosper in his hand.
And Joseph found grace in his sight. Mm-hmm. And he served him.
And he made him overseer over his house. and all that he had put into his hand so go to first Kings real quick first Kings 8 and let's read verse 5 real quick first kings 8 and 50 just to show you that the lord would deal with us in captivity oftentimes just like he's dealing with us now in captivity you know some of us going through pure hell obviously but you know a lot of us are able to move around a little bit you know what i'm saying because the lord has given us grace in the sight of our enemies is that what i want verse 50 Yes. 1 Kings chapter 8 verse 50. And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their transgressions, wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carry them captive, that they may have compassion on them.
So that's our prayer now, and that's what we've seen an example of during the time of our forefather Joseph. The Lord had compassion on Joseph in the sight of his enemies, right? In the sight of his slave master, right? Go ahead.
Genesis chapter 39 and verse 4. Genesis 39 verse 4. and Joseph found grace in his sight and he served him and he made him overseer over his house and all that he had he put into his hand now remember all this is of the Lord we read about it earlier when Joseph dreamed and we read about it in Genesis 47 as well go ahead and it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house and over all that he had that the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Jacob's sake for Joseph's sake Joseph's sake so he blessed the Egyptians house for Jacob's sake for See, it got me saying, for Joseph's sake, read. And the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand. He left everything he had in Joseph's hand. He trusted Joseph, read.
And he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. Go ahead. And Joseph was a goodly person and well-fated.
So the Lord, our forefather Joseph was a bad man. Go ahead. And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph. And she said, lie with me.
Now, this has been a conundrum from the time of Joseph all the way up into slavery here in America. The slave master's wife see you and she want to have sex with you. You a big, strong, massive black man, handsome, beautiful black man.
She looking like, I want this man here. And he blessed. Look at him. you understand showing you joseph wasn't no skinny scrawny joseph had to have some tone to him right she was infatuated with the brother he looked good to her same thing you see going on in babylon today same thing same thing during this time of slavery here in babylon where the slave master's wife would put us in the position where we had to have sex with her or he should have us killed or she'll say we raped her read verse 8 but he refused and said unto his master's wife behold my master wad is not what is with me in the house He have committed all that he have to my hand read there is none greater in this house than I Neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee because thou art his wife read How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
So, you know what that proved that the laws of God have been around it was known that we didn't commit adultery It was known not to lay with another man's wife matter if I get that real quick in the book of Genesis 25 26 in verse 5 showing you that our forefather Abraham knew the law It was always known that we weren't supposed to commit adultery. Go ahead. Genesis 26 verse 5. Mm-hmm. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice.
Read. And kept my charge. Read.
My commandments. Read. My statutes.
Read. And my laws. See that?
Wait a minute. Read that again. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge.
My commandments. My statutes. My statutes. And my laws.
And my laws. It was laws around. The laws had been around. The laws of God, nothing new.
Adam had the laws of God. you understand that it was always known from the beginning that's why when quite later on when the pharisees were trying to talk about a man leaving his wife or giving her a bill of divorce when christ was like you ain't never read the descriptions from the beginning it was man and woman it was always known that we kept command we kept the laws they too shall be one flesh all right over the construct of time different laws had to be put in place childproof laws because you know israel going to some weakness we're gonna find a way to sin right so it was known right so um Thank you Skip down to verse 9 real quick. Skip down to verse 9. Genesis 26 and verse 9. And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife. So when they came into, came onto the king, Abimelech, when they came into Gerar, Isaac and Rebekah, he said, tell them you my sister. Just like Abraham told Sarah, tell them you my sister, because if you tell them you my wife, they're going to kill me for you.
So Isaac was, had the same thing happen to him. So it says that Isaac told them that. It was his sister. But Abimelech said, no, I seen y'all out there playing. Y'all don't play like brother and sister.
Y'all don't mess around like brother and sister. That's your wife, bro. Go ahead.
And how said it's thou? She is my sister. And Isaac said unto him, because I said, lest I die for her.
I thought y'all was going to kill me for her. Go ahead. And Abimelech said, what?
is this that is done unto us one of the people might lightly have lying with thy wife and our sinners have brought guiltiness upon us wait a minute what do you want no laws around back then he said he said nope how you should have did that because one of these brothers might have lain with her and you would have brought guiltiness upon us and our nation meaning what they knew adultery was wrong they knew that go back to genesis 38 Let me 39 verse 9 again. Genesis 39 and verse 9. Come on. There is none greater in this house than I.
Uh-huh. Neither have he kept back anything from me. Read. But thee, because thou art his wife. Read.
How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God? He said, I do this great wickedness and sin against God, because adultery was a heinous crime from the beginning. Everybody knew that.
You don't commit adultery. Go ahead. And it came to pass that she spake to Joseph day by day. So every day. Every day she pressing him.
Lie with me. Lie with me. Lie with me. You know you want this. I look good in this.
Oh, you mean to tell me you don't want this? You know how women do. That's what she was doing to the brother, vexing his spirit every single day.
Read. That he hearkened not unto her. He didn't listen though. Read.
To lie by her. To lie by her. Or to be with her.
I can't do it. That's a strong brother right there. I pray the Lord give us all that strength and willpower and faith in God like our forefather had.
to resist temptations and lust. Read. And it came to pass about this time that Joseph went into the house to do his business. Read.
And there was none of the men of the house there within. So you think that was by design? Why all of a sudden ain't nobody at the house?
She did that. She said, y'all leave. Y'all go ahead and leave. Y'all leave.
I got this. We good. Joseph here don't worry about it.
Y'all go ahead and do this. Do that. Read.
Verse 12. And she caught him by his garment. And she grabbed his garment. Read. Sang live with me.
Come on, get this. You know you want this. Read.
And he left his garment in her hand. He dipped. Read.
And fled and got him out. And that's a, you know what? That is a wonderful example to us when sin is presented unto us and comes out, come our way. Go to the book of Sirach, chapter 21, verse 1. Sirach 21 and verse 1. This is a perfect example of how we should be governing ourselves, how we should get our spirit built up like our forefather to flee from this thing. Go ahead.
The book of Sirach, chapter 21 and verse 1. My son, as thou sinned, do so no more. Read. But ask pardon for thy former sin.
Read. Flee from sin. What did the Bible say? Flee from sin.
That's what Joseph did. She had him. And you know, come on, bruh.
She's the captain of the guard's wife. They had money, they had status, they had position. She wasn't no ugly woman, you know she wasn't ugly. You understand? Now she was an Egyptian, she wasn't of our nation.
But she wasn't no ugly woman, you know she wasn't. So she probably smelled good, half-dressed in a lingerie. This was all set up, this woman set this up.
She got her hair did, she had her makeup did, her gold on, she was sprayed, smelling good. She knew what she was doing. She knew what she was doing.
She set it up. All y'all servants leave. Just leave me and Joseph to ourselves. You understand?
That was not done. But see, there wasn't no coincidence. That was done by design.
Right? So the Bible says what? Read it again.
Verse 2. Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent. Our brother got on down. He fled from that sin as from the face of a serpent.
Read. For if thou comest too near. Because he knew if he got too near it, if he just would have enticed her. Or he would have just entertained her for a split second for 30 more seconds if he would have entertained her. Read.
It will bite thee. He knew he was going to get bitten by her. Read. The teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion. Read.
Slaying the souls of men. He knew it. He knew that. Our forefather had enough wisdom to know that.
Come on. Go back to Genesis 39 and verse, what was that, 14? 13. Yes, sir, 13. Genesis 39 and verse 13. Read 12 again.
I'm sorry. Verse 12. And she caught him by his garment. She said, lie with me.
Read. Read. So she saw that he dipped.
She was embarrassed. She was embarrassed. It's like your slave masters during the time when Esau had us in slavery here in Babylon, the same thing. She knew that she messed up and that that slave might tell the master what she's done.
Is that not what she said? Right. That's exactly what she said.
She knew that he was going to tell on her. Read it again. Verse 14. No, verse 13. And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand.
Read. And was fled forth. And he left, read. That she called unto the men of her house and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in in Hebrew unto us. So she said, then she called unto the men of her house and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in in Hebrew.
Unto us, Reed. To mock us. To what? To mock us. To mock us, Reed.
He came in unto me to lie with me. Now, see, straight line. This woman is lying on the forefather Joseph.
That's why the Bible says this. Go to the book of Ecclesiastes 7 verse 26. Somehow the sisters always get a bad rap. Y'all write to sisters online. We're not talking about y'all. We're talking about our sisters in the world that have that adulterous, horrid spirit.
We're not talking about your sisters. In the truth, but we pray you sister the truth ain't like this right go ahead We asked these seven and twenty six go ahead. I find more bitter than death He said I find more bitter than death read the woman whose heart is snares and he said the woman whose heart is snares And next me and her mind is fixated on lying cheating and getting what she won't right manipulating She's a manipulative wicked spirit, and that's what that that was part of her wife had in her go ahead And her hands as bands. Her hands as bands.
Lie with me. She grabbed her brother. Lie with me.
And if you don't lie with me, I'm going to lie and tell everybody you raped me. Read. Whoso pleases God. Whoso pleases the Lord like Joseph did.
Read. Shall escape from her. Shall what? Shall escape from her.
That's why our forefather Joseph was able to get up out of there. But of course he got thrown in prison. But either way, he was able to escape from her. Go ahead.
But the sinner shall be taken by her. But the sinner going to be taken by her. Sirach 25, 19. As a matter of fact, go to Proverbs 5, verse 1 real quick. Proverbs 5, verse 1. The book of Proverbs, chapter 5, verse 1. Read. My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding.
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. For the lips of a strange woman drop as in honeycomb. Read. And her mouth is smoother than oil. Read.
Her mouth smoother than oil means she trickery. She got trickery in her mouth. She speak lies. Evil. Read.
But her end is bitter as wormwood. Read. Sharp as a two-edged sword. Read.
Her feet go down to death. You follow her, you gonna die. Read. Her steps take hold on hell.
On the grave. Read. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life.
Read. Her ways are movable. Now, yeah, that's what it's saying.
Her ways are movable. Because at first... He was there first the way she was making a scene like she just wanted she wanted him But as soon as he wouldn't give her what she wanted She lied on him.
That's why the bible said her ways are movable. You can't these women like that They tricky right? Come on that thou that thou can't not know you don't know them You don't know how she gonna move you understand why the scriptures say flee from sin is from the face of a serpent go back to uh, genesis 39 And 15 genesis 39 verse 15 read and it came to pass when he heard That I lifted up my voice and cried that he left his garment with me and fled and got him out, and she laid up his garment by her until her Lord came home, and she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant which thou hast brought unto us came in unto me to mock me, and it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried that he left his garment with me and fled out, and it came to pass when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was killed.
So that show you right there, these women got a manipulative spirit about them. Now, this brother was a captain in the guard. Like, he was not no weak brother.
I'm pretty sure he was a man of war. He done killed some people before. But it don't matter what kind of big, strong man you think you are, if your mind ain't right according to this Bible, a woman can easily manipulate you into doing some foolishness.
Here it is. Joseph never done any wrong. The brother even said, the Lord with this brother, look how you blessing my house.
The Lord gotta be with Joseph. But when his wife came in his ear, he hearkened unto her voice. And he said, you know what?
He got pissed off. He didn't try to get no understanding. It wasn't none of that. And let's show you that. Go to the book of Proverbs real quick.
She knew this would happen. Proverbs chapter 6. And let's read verse 20. Read verse 30. Proverbs 6 and 32. Watch this. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding. Read. He that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Read. A wound and dishonor shall he get. Read.
And his reproach shall not be wiped away. Read. For jealousy is the rage of a man.
That's it right there. Jealousy. He said what?
He tried to have sex with you. First thing he went off. Because jealousy is the rage of a man. Read. Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Read. He would not regard any ransom. So it says, the jealousy is the rage of a man.
Therefore, he would not spare the day of vengeance. He wasn't willing to spare Joseph. He threw him straight in prison. Lucky he didn't kill him. Read.
Neither will he rest content. No doubt give him many gifts. It says he would not regard any ransom.
Meaning he don't need no money. Ain't nothing that you can give him in that day. You can't talk to him peaceably.
Like, hey, man. You know I wouldn't do nothing like that. He ain't trying to hear that in that day.
Jealousy has now become his rage. He said he will not regard any ransom, neither will he rest content. Though thou givest many gifts.
So she knew that he was going to be pissed off. He wasn't going to be trying to eat. He was going to see red. He was going to see blood. You understand?
Go back to Genesis 39 and read 19 again. We almost done. We got four more verses. Then we answer questions for the next 20 minutes or so.
And it came to pass when his master heard the words of his wife. But she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled. And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound.
And he was there in the prison. But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. So everywhere Joseph went, he got favor. Why? Because the Lord had an anointing on him.
The Lord had a spirit on Joseph. You understand? To make sure. That he was able to endure so that he could save his son so that we can go into slavery in Egypt, which is something different.
That's later on. But all these things had to happen. You understand?
The Lord guided his steps the entire way. Read. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison. Read.
And whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand. Read. Because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
So the Lord was with our forefather Joseph because he was a righteous soul, he had a spirit, and the Lord dealt with him. So, real quick recap of Genesis chapter 39. We pick him back up from Genesis chapter 37 where he was sold to the Ishmaelites, and then the Ishmaelites sold. Well, he was given to the Ishmaelites and he was sold from the Ishmaelites to Potiphar. So he came unto Potiphar, he became a keeper in his house. Joseph behaved himself very wisely, became ruler over his house until his wife lied and said that he tried to lie with her.
Potiphar got mad and threw the brother in prison. But when he went to prison, he became the ruler of there too, because the Lord was dealing with our forefather, Joseph. All right, so we got about 20 some minutes left.
Do anybody have any questions pertaining to the four chapters that we read? Does anybody have any questions? for training to pertain excuse me to the four chapters that we read we read Genesis chapter 36 through chapter 39 anybody have any questions if so please let it be known give you all a chance to write your questions anybody have any questions let it be known anybody have any questions Feel free to ask while we're all here.
It would be better if the questions pertain to the class or the four chapters that we just read. It would be better if the questions pertain to the four chapters we just read. Okay, she said what tribe is Joseph today, that's a good question sister go to Genesis chapter 47 excuse me chapter 48 and Let's read verse 5 Genesis 48 verse 5 good question sister Genesis chapter 48 verse 5 and now thy two sons Ephraim and Manasseh Which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt are mine as Reuben and Simeon Reuben Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. So Joseph's blessing was split between his two sons, which was Manasseh and Ephraim.
Skip down to verse 17. Verse 17. And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. And he held up his father's hand. Start at 14. I'm sorry.
Verse 14. Watch this, y'all. Listen to this. And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger. And his left hand was upon.
on manasseh's head guiding his hands wittingly for manasseh was the firstborn because manasseh was the firstborn but he put his hand right hand on ephraim's head right go ahead and he blessed joseph and said god before whom my fathers abraham and isaac did walk the god which fed me all my life long unto this day the angel which redeemed me from all evil bless the lads and let my name be named on them in the name of my fathers abraham and isaac and let them grow into a multitude in He also shall be great, but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he. And his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, Indeed shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh.
And he said, Ephraim before Manasseh. So I hope that answers your question. So that, like the brother said, that's the so-called Puerto Ricans, Ephraim, and the so-called Cubans today, Ephraim and Manasseh.
So. that's because the sister was a question again the sister said what tribe is Joseph today Joseph's tribe is split between those two okay Joseph's tribe tribal his blessings are split between his two sons all right the next question was what color were the Canaanites the canaanites were black all right you got that real quick ham yeah yeah god I got in the son of a Bible dictionary and they get get Genesis 2 or 7 yeah that's not a bad question that's not a bad question Because we did read earlier where Esau has sex with a Hamite woman, right? But remember, Esau has a recessive gene.
So if I take a, if he got, no, I ain't gonna say that. If you had somebody that was an Edomite and they had sex with a black woman. The child will be very light.
And say that, then that child will be an Edomite boy. Say that Edomite boy has sex with a white woman. That next generation of child ain't gonna look nothing like us.
That child gonna be blonde hair, blue eyes, possibly, look straight like an Edomite. Alright? Uh, what we looking at, ham?
Okay, yeah, here it is. Here's the color of Ham, sister. Read. The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the flood. Read.
And one of eight persons to live through the flood. Read. He became the progenitor of the dark races. So Ham became the progenitor of the dark races.
The Hamitic tribes, such as, uh, he's gonna tell you, go ahead. Not the Negroes. Not the Negroes, though.
We dark, too. We from Shem, though. Read.
But the Egyptians, the Ethiopians, the Libyans, and the Canaanites. These are all the tribes that came from Ham. These are Ham's four sons. Now, go to Genesis 2 and 7. Did you read that yet?
Not yet. Read that for me. Genesis 2 and verse 7. Watch this. The Lord God brought man of the dust of the ground. So God made the first man Adam from the dust of the ground.
The deeper you go in the soil, the darker it gets. Now, remember, go to Genesis 5 verse 1. Genesis chapter 5 verse 1. Genesis chapter 5 and verse 1. Read. This is the book of the generations of Adam.
Uh-huh. And the day that God created man in the likeness of God made he him. So these are the book of the generations of Adam.
Now skip down to verse 20. Let's get down to verse 30. Start at 29. I'm sorry. 29. And he called his name Noah. Same.
The same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands. because of the ground which the Lord have cursed. So, can you read?
And Lamech lived after he begat Noah. So, Lamech was one of the sons of Adam, came through the lineage of Adam. Adam had a son named Seth, because remember Cain killed Abel, and Cain was cast off, and Abel was dead.
So, he had another son named Seth. Now, this is the lineage of Adam through Seth all the way down to Lamech, who had Noah. So, all these men were black.
All their descendants were black. Alright, sister? So, the case, so...
Noah, one of Noah's sons was Ham, and Ham's son was Canaan. So all this is a lineage of blacks. Everybody on the earth at that time was black. I hope that makes sense, sis. Like with the 11 sons and the sun and the moon in Joseph's dream.
I'm trying to figure out what the sister was saying about that sister Tanera tumblin I don't know what you mean by that question you can re-ask it sis she says so was the sons of so she says so was the twelve sons the twelve tribes yes the twelve sons of the twelve tribes now remember Dan was cast off later in time right but you had twelve sons that's going from Judah all the way down in that valley yes So were the twins that Judah had Tamar for his other two sons? I don't know exactly. Dillion Crouch, I don't know exactly.
I just know that she had them. You understand? I just know that she had them through Judah.
I don't know if that was to replace his son. I don't see where it says that in the scripture. So I can't say for sure, bro.
I noticed in the Bible when accused, they didn't dispute the difference. Why was that? Janice Clark, could you answer that question again, sis?
I don't really understand. You said, I noticed in the Bible when accused, they didn't dispute the difference. Why was that? Give me a little bit more clarity to what you're asking, sis. I'll pray.
uh so did tamar and her child of judah child of judah go into egypt i'm not sure uh let's go back and read it maybe we can get some understanding said did she go into egypt it don't say it doesn't say sis uh that It would have been later on in time though. Remember that would have been later on in time. Remember Joseph had been gone for years, right?
Let me see if I can find the exact time period when Joseph was gone. Because remember when they sold him into slavery, he was 17 years old. If you remember that.
Give me a second. I'm going to find how old Joseph was. I believe Joseph was 30. Give me a second while I find it. I think Joseph, I'm pretty sure Joseph was 30 years old when he came into working for Pharaoh. Y'all give me a second.
I remember reading it, but I can't remember why I read it at. Verse 46. Verse 46. Chapter 41, 36. Yes, read that. Genesis chapter 41 and verse 46. So this is Genesis chapter 41, verse 46. Go ahead.
And Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. You see that? So when Joseph was brought out of the prison to stand before Pharaoh, he was 30. But remember, he was sold into captivity by his brothers when he was what? 17. Remember we read that he was 17 years old at that time.
So 13 years had passed, right? I don't know if it's exact. Exactly tells us when his brothers came along, but so I can't say that Tamar was even alive at that time.
I don't know for sure. I don't know if she's alive. I don't know. I don't know. uh so that's so what is the difference between a concubine and a wife a concubine is a lesser wife right basically like um what's the word i'm looking for i ain't gonna say side piece almost like is it a mistress is that what they call it today let me look it up in the zone i'm gonna give you a direct definition of it but it's a lesser wife it's not a full all-out wife uh it says concubine a woman lawfully united in marriage to a man in relation to in relation inferior to that of a a regular wife so she is she's lawfully married to the man but she's not the main wife she's a inferior or lesser than the main wife if that makes sense uh salon leadership why did joseph want israel to say they were shepherds and shepherds were an abomination go to genesis 46 i'm jumping ahead a little bit i know that the leadership won't go over this but genesis 46 and verse 33 genesis 46 and 33 and it shall come to pass when pharaoh shall call you and shall say what is your occupation that ye shall say thy service trade has been about cattle from our youth even until now both we and also our fathers that we may dwell in the land of Goshen for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egypt so the reason say every shepherds abomination to the Egyptians is because during a time of a dynasty called the Hicks O's you heard the Hicks O's dynasty you read about that in Babylon the ten book two it has a little information about it they were supposedly shepherds so shepherds were an abomination to the the Egyptian, they didn't want to have nothing to do with shepherds, all right, and Joseph knew this, that's why he said that, in order to get his brothers and his, his brothers and his family to be able to do, be able to be away from him.
The other book that we have is the Compact Zondervan Bible Dictionary. If you're new in the truth, you should definitely get one of these. Here's to clear up some definitions for you. I'm not sure what happened to the, I'm not sure what happened to the, what's the names? Uh, Class of, I don't care, Arabs, somebody said Arabs, I don't know.
So how they became on, so that's how they became on the chart. Yes, because they are of the 12 tribes. Yes, their lineage was given.
Why couldn't Jacob see that his sons were lying about Joseph? It was of the Lord, sis. It was of the Lord.
It was always of the Lord. Get that real quick. Genesis 15 and 20. It was of the Lord.
The sister said, why couldn't he see that they were lying? I mean, you got to think about it. You trust your sons to do right.
And then your favorite son don't come back with them. here it is it's cold and blood and you sent them off remember joseph sent his son off he sent i mean jacob sent joseph off by himself he they didn't know exactly what it was remember when he got to the man the man said he said who you looking for he said i'm looking for my brother what he said i heard him say he's going to dothan you understand so he didn't know exactly where he was going right read it genesis chapter 50 and verse 20 so the sister said why couldn't jacob see this that his sons were lying about joseph here's why that's for you you thought evil against me because they thought evil against him read but god meant it for unto good god meant it unto good read to bring to pass as it is this day to save much people alive because imagine if joseph had never gone down into egypt and taught the pharaoh to save food so that his brothers could eventually come into egypt and have a place to eat then the whole nation of israel would have died in in the famine in canaan so that's the reason why sis Uh, somebody says... Was the Northern Kingdom originally dark colored? Yes.
A lot of Northern Kingdoms very dark skinned now. I know some very very dark skinned Northern Kingdom. We come from the lineage of Adam. That's right.
Promised through Adam. That's right. Redemption.
Revelation 12 and 2 with the 12 stars and the sun and the moon is the different meaning. Yes. In Genesis 37. Read Genesis 37 and 10 again.
9 and 10 again. Genesis 37 verse 9 and 10 was Come on, read that again. Genesis 37 in verse 9. This is the answer.
So Tanera, Tanera, Tumbling, I believe that's your name. Go ahead. And he dreamed yet another dream and told it his brother and said, behold, I have dreamed a dream more. And behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father and to his brother.
And his father rebuked him and said unto him, what is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren? indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee see that so he knew Jacob knew that the Sun and Moon was symbolic of him and his mother the father and mother he knew that right that's why he said that but in Revelation 12 and 1 and 2 is going into Sun and Moon being the law it's talking about lights right I mean the laws and commandments okay or wisdom and understanding the name he sees he sees does it go deeper than the first chapter my apology that's just been heavy on me for some reason I'm trying to say he sees I don't know what that means I'm sorry evil came in land after Joseph passed that's right I always had a fine I'm happy with you okay I'm praying no it's the forefather Joseph who explained the dreams of Pharaoh right it's telling it's telling spirit of evil men and women Second and third wife, with the spirit.
Man, somehow this thing got all jumbled up. I was wondering because I know that the people live way longer. That's right.
So that's how the tribe of Manasseh, that's right. Excellent class, must re-watch to pick up all those golden nuggets. You guys can read it also. Good job.
Can you write the name in the line? Can somebody write that in the line, the sign of the Bible dictionary? And so what happened to that woman that had sex with her father-in-law, the heart of twins, and did they have part in the blessing of Israel? They were just sons of Judah, okay? So the Lord, when the Lord blessed the 12, so when Jacob blessed the sons of his sons, his 12 sons, he gave them all blessings as the sons, not the sons of Pundit.
So that blessing was for the tribes, if that makes sense. Jacob was not slow he had a feeling yep what was the priests what was this priest what was the scripture this scripture this priest that was for I'm not sure So if Jacob's sons are the 12 tribes, all of them were different nationalities. No, we all, well there's 12 different tribes, but we all are one nation, the nation of Israel.
Okay, so you got the nation of Israel, and you have tribes within the nation. Right, just like all Edomites are Edomites, but you got Teman, you had Eliphaz's sons, you had Amalek, you had all these different tribes within it. Okay.
I hope that answers your question, Faith Marie. Y'all have to answer your questions. Anybody else have any more questions before we shut it down?
You know the mighty Deacon Yowza coming up next. What did Bishop mean when someone seen something in heaven that would have, well, made our walk easier? I'm not sure, brother. I don't know what class that was for. I know it's off topic, but what is you supposed to eat on Passover?
Read Exodus chapter 12, sister. Sister Denise Ginyet, read Exodus chapter 12. And it'll give you the menu that we're supposed to eat. I know you got brothers out here saying now that you can eat fried chicken.
And, uh, um... grits and dressing but the Bible doesn't say that re Exodus chapter 12 all praises Jacob's sons were two of the twelve tribes Jacob's son you mean maybe mean Joseph I'm not sure no they are the same people the Israelites they take to that brother Kahlil I'll pray to the Most High for your zeal brother we can answer the questions here brother we can answer the questions here we don't need you to answer them we appreciate it though Shalom family this was a great enlightening class who is the tribe of Dan the tribe of Dan was dispersed I'm in Benjamin with Benjamin and I forgot the other tribe amongst Benjamin and another tribe all right tribe of Dan was cast off where do I go to learn how to keep Passover and all the high holy days go to our website israelunite.org actually i'm gonna reply to your message let me see i'm gonna reply to your message real quick go to israelunite.org sis and you can learn more about the feast i just put it in the comments of the faith all praises all praises Who is the tribe of Dan? This is a great question. Okay, it looks like nobody else got the question. I did captain and I didn't understand.
I'm in Leviticus now. I'm an officer, sis. I'm not a captain.
I'm an officer. I'll pray to the most high. You may not have known that, but I'm an officer, not a captain.
I'll pray to the most high. Keep reading the book of Leviticus. You get to chapter 23. And it'll tell you about the Passover. Go back to Exodus chapter 12 for the precept to get the understanding of... What we eat on the Passover.
I'll pray, no promises. God not dealing with the tribe of Dan because of idolatry. Yeah, that's what I was just telling her. That's in 1 Kings 12. Anybody else got any more questions?
We got about 10 minutes. I'm going to try to shut it down 10 minutes before Dickie Yawasop gets started. Anybody else got any more questions pertaining to the four chapters we read today, chapter 36 through 39?
I'll give brothers and sisters a few more minutes to ask their questions that they may have pertaining to those chapters, and then we'll shut it down. All praise to the Most High. Anybody else got any more questions?
Any more questions pertaining to the class? Genesis 36-39. 36-39. Any questions pertaining to these chapters?
Alright. All praises. Good night, brothers and sisters. Don't have any more questions. I'll pray to the Most High.

Just when you get off of this, when this class is done, sis, just go back to the page, the IUIC in the classrooms page, this page that you're on right now, and just go through the videos and just scroll up. You'll see every single chapter from Genesis chapter 1 all the way to where we just finished, chapter 39. Solomon said, what happened to you? Judah when he had twins by the sister that he was going to give to his younger son. So what happened to Judah?
Judah went down into Egypt and died there. When you read Exodus chapter Exodus chapter 1, read that real quick. Exodus chapter 1 verse 1. What does a brother need to do to join? All praises. First of all, repent, keep the commandments to the best of your ability, and then also reach out to us whatever city you're in.
I don't know what city you're in, Winter Didi, but whatever city you're in or that you're closest to that has a school, reach out to them and go congregate. Keep the commandments. Read it.
Exodus 1 and 1. Exodus chapter 1 verse 1. Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt. Every man in his household came with Jacob, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Dan, and Athali, Gad, and Asher. And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob was 70 souls but Joseph was in Egypt already and Joseph died and all his brethren and all that generation so Judah died in Egypt with his brethren all praises so that was Exodus 1 verse chapter I mean chapter 1 verse 1 through 6 okay all praises all praises any more questions Any more questions?
I'm sending a message about my question. Okay, I'll pray this is. If you have questions pertaining to a previous class, go back and watch the whole previous class for the other chapters because the question may have been answered during that time.
But if not, if it hadn't, if you say, okay, the question wasn't answered during that time, then send a direct message and we'll have our captains and leadership answer those questions for you all to give you the best answer possible. Okay? All praise.
