I look forward to Wednesday mornings. After breakfast and helping my kid get settled for distance learning, I have my coffee and watch your genesis series Hemant. Thank you.
nidi perz yes! I wish he would do this twice a week!
Coffee NYC right, that would be nice. But I think Hemant would need to start therapy afterwards. So much unsettling things happening in the Bible 😂😬
nidi perz I even need therapy from all the years I was manipulated from this!! 🤣😂
Coffee NYC I doubt that at all. I had no idea how bad religion affected people until I saw it in my friends life. I was never indoctrinated into any religion, but was taught about the idea of a god. Now, I’m learning that god too doesn’t make sense.
This a good lesson about showing favoritism. Jacob, by doing this causes animosity, anger, division, plots of murder, slavery, deception. Esau was the one who was said to be the "wild one". And the Canaanites were terrible people. yet the line from Isaac to Jacob, started by Abraham, was supposed to be the "chosen people". And yet lying, greed, treachery, these are all acts from Isaac's line. And Jacob is put on such a pedestal. A Biblical hero, the patriarch. Yet the more we read the more despicable, and dis-honorable he becomes.

It’s just a book of myths
@@curbroadshow That may be so. But still these texts, including where God promises land to "his people", are used to justify occupation of Palestinian lands. The persistent contrasting between Arabs(wild. savage, hostile, terrorists etc.) and Hebrews(chosen, blessed). This is rooted in this "holy book". Leading Islam to do the same with their ideology in the Quran. Cultural prejudice, racism is a by-product of intolerant religious teachings. That is where that kind of hate comes from.
What did you expect? The daughters of the "hero" Lot knocked themselves up by getting him drunk. Did they maybe overhear him say he was willing to sacrifice them to a (if you're to believe an apologist, rape) mob?
So they were going to kill their brother because their dad likes him the most? Every time you thing these guys can't get any worse they find a way to top themselves.
Huh. I just thought it was because these were primitive, savage, and, apparently, exceedingly greedy people.
its ok if they get jealous of him, parents shouldn't have preferences over their children
Lying in the Bible for some people was profitable, and the God of that book even blessed some for their lies. Hmm that reminds me of a certain president. Oh well.....
About 100 years ago, a famous journalist and political pundit wrote, "The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth."
He also eerily predicted; "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken
30+ years ago, I wrote a college thesis comparing "Reaganomics" to the events of the early 20th century that lead up to the Great Depression. I quoted Mencken a lot in that paper, I recall. I wish I could find it now, but it was probably thrown out years ago. I remember my title was, "The Perils of Prosperity", and that I was focused on how corporations were being allowed to become monopolies just like the robber barons of the early 1900s.
It was hearing that ridiculous concept of Reagan's "trickle-down" economics that inspired me to research and write that paper. Damn, Reagan almost seems like a socialist now compared to the horror the republican party has become!
@@LazyIRanch Too bad not all of us are as educated and of such competent thinking. We'd be so much further ahead. There's a big reason our founding fathers made this nation a republic as opposed to a democracy. Rule by the people instead of by law means the majority rules, and the majority of our people are quite foolish.
Preaching to the choir here friend. No pun intended. As I am an atheist and I hate trump and all republicans. I also hate racist people. I'm ashamed to be a white person now. Sometimes I just wanna go hide in the closet! But that would only make me whiter than I already am.🍚🍚🍚
@@beverlybarnes3122 Don't be ashamed to be white, be ashamed of the bad\stupid white people. The vast majority of us aren't bad people.
@@beverlybarnes3122 I don’t mean to be rude, but as a black person from the hood, the mindset you just explained is the mindset we hate most. We don’t hate white people, we don’t think they should hate themselves. We aren’t liberal, and we don’t hate Trump. The media tells us what we are daily, but we aren’t the majority of those things. The image they’ve painted of us has made you a self hating wreck and I condemn the journalists who have created this sinkhole of apologetics and playing victim.
How did the Ishmaelites become the Midianites? Within a single verse: (28) The caravan of Ishmaelites became Midianite traders passing by. Hmm.
Good catch!
Did you ever stop to think that they just might be the same people?
@@chrismassey7563 Yes I did. Perhaps the Midianites were a part of the Ishmaelite caravan. Or not. Perhaps it's just more bad bible editing. Do you know the answer?
@@LarryThePhotoGuyMany Ishmaelites lived in Midian
I looked up both of those names and the best I can see is that Ishmaelites, from the perspective of the Israelites, are more general and can refer to anyone from the Arabian area. It sounds kind of like racial profiling/stereotyping because the Midianites are not descendants of Ishmael.
The elder brothers were in the field rehearsing some dance moves and singing “I am what I am” because they wanted to be in Jacob’s upcoming musical but Joseph went to Jacob and told him that they didn’t have “it”.
I'm sure there's a bible apologist that can straighten this all out for us, lol.
Yep. One the other day claimed that the Old Testament has nothing to do with Christianity. What a puppet!
The knots some people are willing to twist themselves into to insist yeah, this totally does make sense, yuh huh.
There's at least a Netflix series here. A big problem is the empty cistern, none of them noticed it was empty? It is the Bible so an empty cistern is quibbling.
Hasn’t started and has a down vote. Greg Locke anyone?
This some messed up erotica, his sheath raised and rained on them,
Indoctrinated haters are everywhere. To hate Hemant is to hate normalcy and reality.
We’re covered by reality 😁🤟
Would've been some random troll who didn't care about the content.
God these bible lessons kill me. I sincerely hope you do the whole bible lol
Friendly Atheist, Hemant. We are all loving these! You make them superb! Oh, and, don't forget, 'Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah'👍❣🤎✌😷🎃
Dumb question here. Is this song about Dinah cheating on her husband? Lol
@@nidiperz3594 Only if "strummin' on the old banjo" has another meaning.
Laura Jarrell ah hahaha 😂 😂😂
@@nidiperz3594 Sorry I took so long, I had to shop😓What used to be a disliked hour and half is now a dreaded 4 or more hour ordeal, lol. I try to go out seldom, so squeeze everything in. Mom, disabled sis and I are all high risk, being oldsters. The Dinah comment I made is from a very old song. Like old! Like building the railroads! And I couldn't find musical notes in my emojis, lol. I think it's called 'Dinah blow your horn', I'll try googling it, I should have before replying. It might also be 'I've been workin' on the railroad, all my live long day'. I can hear it in my head, but,' Someone's in the kitchen with with Dinah, strumming on the old banjo' were in the lyrics. Your idea would have gotten them stoned. Oh, and not in a good way, lol! 😉💞✌😷🎃
Laura Jarrell yes! I know the song I just can’t think of the lyrics. I thought it was a children’s nursery song long ago before I could understand the lyrics. But now that I understand it, to me, it sounds like Dinah is cheating lol I hope you, mom, and sis are doing well. If you can order online and then do store pick up? That, if available, might work out best since you don’t need to get out of the car. Stay well and take care, this was a pleasant thread 😂
I wish you had been my sunday school teacher. Sunday afternoons would've been something to look out to!
Woohoo! The only good thing about Wednesday
"The truth is that parents love their kids equally."
I'm a middle child. Not sure I agree with you.
Sibling rivalry isn't easily explained. My sister told me when she had a dream where she was the boss of me. Lol.😋
I'm curious if you have any siblings.
I know parents don't love their kids equally BUT the smart/wise parents never show....or they can kiss family cohesion goodbye.
@@hillarycolen1163 This is true. It's instinctive. But Hemant said ALL - which is what I disagree with. It's different when you experience the breakdown of that family cohesion from the "not the spoilt sibling" side of things. :)
@@mischarowe Yes he said ALL but he also mentioned the mess of having faves...I am very familiar with this.So I asked a mother and we agreed that parents just like all of us can't help who they love.It's how we wield it.
You and I seem to have put some thought into this phenomenon.
@@mischarowe You know you are talking to the 'not spoiled' middle child that has always taken care of everybody.....and rather getting fed up.
@@hillarycolen1163 I repeat: him saying ALL is what I'm disagreeing with. You even agree he said it. Am I wrong that there's a problem? (Not sure.)
My favourite listening after I finish work at 10pm. Good-natured fact checking is apparently the perfect antidote to the fairly tetchy fact checking that my job has turned into.
I'd give you the namaste hands emoji but well thanks
How have the best meme quotes!!!:😂
10:13 "What was he wearing under the robe? anything?... Nothing? 😂
According to Chabad.org, a half shekel would be about five dollars. A shekel, $10.
Inflation?
uhmm... a question:
are ya gonna do "Everything Wrong with Exodus" series next, hemant?
Let's hope he does the whole bible like this.
@@declanbarrett8566 Thatd be an interesting dig
Ahoy, I'm a time traveler! Indeed he did.
@@declanbarrett8566 Sharing
Please keep it up, I love the videos and your reactions to them. Awesome job
"I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain, to see for certain what I thought I knew. Far, far away, someone was weeping, but the world was sleeping, any dream will do."
Sorry y'all, I actually do like that one, but I only ever saw it performed live once. The poor guy playing Joseph: his voice was breaking at the time, and you knew that, a month earlier, he could have sung these things perfectly. Sucks to be a dude in that regard. Women's voices do get deeper as we go through puberty, but it's not so sudden and it's not so obvious.
Hemet , you missed that Midianites sold Joseph to Potipher, the Egyptian, but his brothers sold him to Ishmaelites. Two different tribes. Bible did not explain the discrepancy.
I am hoping you are planning to do this a chapter a week with the whole bible. This is amazing!
In primitive cultures dreams are often considered to be inspired by god(s) an have some prophetic value. By claiming that his brothers bowed to him in a dream, he actualy claimed that he will become the head of the clan, i.e. the chief of the tribe, after their father, even though as a younger son he had no right to take power.
No!~ Please don't end the series because of the genealogy. Who can demonstrate the terror of god then? As it is, we were left hanging about Jacob's family line at 0:38.
Sometimes when you read this story and you basically see how Joseph brags to his other brothers about how great he is, you have to say to yourself, Joseph won't you just shut up. You know his fever dreams about how he was the brightest star and the other stars bow down to him. I'm sure that just endeared him to his brothers🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
There are so many stories of jealousy in the Bible,quite often caused deliberately by Yahweh,our loving heavenly "father." But after all,he does say he he is a jealous god.
@@shriggs55 The "Ritual of Jealousy" aka "Ordeal of the Bitter Water" is one of the most horrendous bible stories, and also proof that god has no problem supporting abortion.
"The ordeal of the bitter water was a trial by ordeal administered to the wife whose husband suspected her of adultery but who had no witnesses to make a formal case (Numbers 5:11-31)." Wikipedia
Note: The husband doesn't need any witnesses or any proof at all of his wife's infidelity, his jealousy is all that's required to poison his wife and abort her baby.
"19 And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman: 'If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse;
20 but if thou hast gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband--
21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman--the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy belly to swell;
22 and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to fall away'; and the woman shall say: 'Amen, Amen.'
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness. 24 And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
- Numbers 5, JPS 1917.
@@LazyIRanch Yeah.thanks for that.Good point.I forgot about that passage referring to jealousy.But it is one of my "go-to"abortion scriptures for Christians.Not that they would ever read it.Facing contradictions in the Bible is anathema to them.If I made a list of all the Bible verses that show God is not pro-life and showed it to them,they would cling to the ones that show he is,to their satisfaction,not seeing the contradiction.
BATTLE OF JENKINS' FERRY
It’s just a man made myth.
@@curbroadshow well duh.
I read the story of Joseph and his brothers as a child.
60 years later it remains a puzzle to me why anyone would treat this boring narrative about the lives of desert goat herders as sacred scripture
or the word of a Hebrew god.
I listened to a couple of bible studies from famous YT folks, but this one is my favorite: to the point, funny, and not half an hour to an hour long. :P
The hulk reference... 'He tore his clothes' is also saying he pullled and yanked upon it, ruining isn't often a result. It's like the biblical 'tearing your hair'
The book of wild and weird happenings. Love your rendition of the family feuds, and how insane the book is.
Joseph sounds an awful lot like Jesus, and Judah an awful lot like Judas
*gasps* Foreshadowing
Looking forward to this!
Hilarious chapter, and all the ch38-yearners are almost getting their present
Genesis 38 was done by darkmatter2525 and its hilarious
Hmmm not laying hands on him but yet they threw him into a cistern isn't that laying hands on him
What an awful family. Sure brother and I fought as kids but by the time we were both past 15 that shit didnt matter.
What color was Joseph's robe?
[Deep breath...]
It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose and azure and lemon and russet and grey and purple and white and pink and orange and blue!"
Sometimes one child is loved and another hated; one can be the family scapegoat for all ills since Eve. All too often the loved one is fully supported and praised for success (deserved or not) while the hated one is expected to support "the family" sacrificing everything "selfish" and further condemned for failure (deserved or not). I always encourage scapegoats to escape abusive families, walk away, run. I imagine there are single beloved kids in large families, but somehow doubt they're often decent people.
Sadly that does happen. A close friend of mine was physically abused by her mother and put down constantly whilst her younger brother was a little shit yet never got into trouble. Knowing the mother as I do, I put it down to jealousy. It started once the girl because a teen and started garnering attention. The mother spend fortunes on her looks, hairstyles, clothes jewellery and kept her daughter in near rags. Sad but true.
Arrogance, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, human trafficking and deceit. There's a moral story to teach to your kids.
Amazing series and respect for going through all these texts and commenting on them in this way. Very entertaining. One thing I'd like to share: Christians claim that Joseph got his coloured coat because he was special. In reality it is just a means to identify him as the victim later on: nobody else had a coat like his. That's why he went out wearing his ' toxedo'.
"But that's the Old Testament" ! ( The one with the 30 Commandments in ).
Not yet.
Sssshhhhhhh. Stop peeking!
Does anyone else think Hemant sounds a bit like John Mulaney when he's doing the voicing for the brothers of Joseph?
"So then we gave dad that Joseph's bloodied robe to let him think that he was dead, y'know, like liars."
One of the sheep later wrote a popular song about the coat. For Dolly was her name.
People viewed dreams as potential visions of the future so this would have been very insulting to his brothers as no one at that time understood that dreams are kind of random and may not even represent something you want. Some times you dream about things you couldn't care less about in real life.
IM SOO EXCITED FOR 38-8-10
Coat Of Many Colors! Is it the color of the rainbow?
yea... the lgbt community is pretty pissed he used their flag as his dress...
As a trans women I have noticed that biblical men's clothing is more like modern women's clothing then modern men's clothing...
Maybe Joseph was feeling fabulous! No wonder he became the subject of musical theater.
@@lucyschoon5585 Can I ask a question that I'm seriously confused about?
My niece married her long-time "girlfriend" who is a trans male. Now I'm being told I'm using the wrong terminology and pronouns.
After they married, "April" finally had the financial security to afford the surgery and medical treatments to become the man he's always been. "April" is now "August", and is such a handsome young man I doubt any but another trans person could guess that he hasn't always been male.
To me, he didn't "just become" male, he always was. I refuse to refer to him as "she" because it's not accurate, especially now he's sporting a beard. If I mention him being a "trans-male", I get attacked and told he's still a woman so I should say "trans-woman". That doesn't sound right to me, I thought a trans-woman is someone born with male genitalia who identifies as female. Since I don't know which is correct, I'm just going to call him a man.
I'm proud of my niece and her husband, and I'm happy because they are so happy. They live meaningful lives and have been a great source of support to others in the LGBQ community. They live in Texas, not exactly the epitome of understanding and compassion, but I'm glad they are there to support others whose families aren't so loving.
The Joseph Cycle is probably one of the more longer stories in Genesis. Our protagonist (Joseph) becomes a slave then a prisoner, but with his gift of interpreting people's dreams he becomes lord of Egypt (second only to Pharaoh), and eventually gets some revenge against the people who sold him into slavery (his brothers) which eventually concludes with the tearful reunion with his brothers and father and the Israelite clan settling down in Egypt.
No spoiler warning? 😕😑😮😵😩🥱🤔😄
They forgot to tell us the story of Jacob's dog ;)
@@harveywabbit9541 ahhh... right. I forgot ;)
NO please!!! you can't end this series
Snort, Joseph, King of Dreams and Subtlety. You ever seen the Dreamworks movie, Hemant? "Prince of Egypt" is leagues better, but it's not a terrible movie.
Joseph is healthy enough to make long trips across a desert, can probably read and write (which I imagine is probably rare in that time), has some experience farming and managing servants. I would have charged 70 or 80 shekels and that's after I've been negotiated down.
We are at the point where it is either religion or democracy... CHOOSE!
Wow the writers of Genesis are terrible. Did the brothers sale Joseph to the Ishmaelites or the midianites... They can't keep their story straight..😆😆
It strikes me again how vague the bible is on relevant details. Perhaps that's even intentional.
But it results in reading between lines and assuming or guessing about some rather important details. And encourages a lot of comfort with that sort of behavior.
Don't forget,Genesis was about,and was written by,ignorant,superstitious,brutal,pre-scientific,tribal people who lived,not too much different from many almost primitive cultures like Islam,today(stoning,killing homosexuals and adultresses,etc.)Islam is,in it's original form anyhow,an Abrahamic religion.
"He tore his clothes? What, like the Hulk?" No, even in modern Judaism, tearing your clothes is a sign of mourning. Mourners' clothes that Jews wear at funerals have a pocket on them that can be ripped away easily and without damaging the rest of the shirt, but it's supposed to be an indication of extreme grief.
Still childish and doesn’t accomplish anything lol
I would just love to know who was around writing all this stuff down!
This series is awesome
What's really funny is that nobody watching this knows what Technicolor was.
I’m excited for Hemant’s interpretation of the Joseph’s behavior towards the end of the story. People forget how much a dick he was. His father never did anything wrong (to Joseph anyway) but he’ll still be put through Hell because of the little shit before we’re through. 🍿
Dreamcoat is a major guilty pleasure musical for me, so I was looking forward to this when I started listening from the beginning.
Sheaf of grain is more important than some hippie hanging out on a cross or something...
This chapter reminds me of the movie "Joseph king of dreams" that was based on this chapter of the Bible.
*Why Reuben Tore His Clothes:* Rending a garment is a sign of deep pain and mourning in Hebrew tradition. I'm not spiritual, but I kinda like Jewish mourning customs. Not only does their belief demand you grieve if a loved one dies, but that your other loved ones help you through it. It's so briefly touched upon in the Bible that it makes them appear foolish just ripping their clothes all the time without any reason. It's common for grieving people not to know what to do, and the Hebrews have a whole set of directions to help them grieve. Nowadays a Rabi cuts a ribbon instead, but I like the old rending garments thing. It represents grief so much better.
Yes they did throw him in a water tank Elisa Lam style. But as long as no blood was spilt🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I was literally thinking about her this whole time. Schizophrenic kid gets thrown in was water tank. But hey it could have all been an “accident “
@@esssmo9285 to be honest with you I've always thought the Elisa Lam case was nothing but a tragic accident. Her mental illness explain the type of behavior she was experiencing, so none of the supernatural mumbo-jumbo you hear so much of on TH-cam about that case.
Esau is the biblical version of Meg Griffin....
Shaaaaddup, Esau!
I love your video's, but this time the background music annoyed me so much that I couldn't watch it to the end. Please turn it down a bit. Yes?
Agreed. He was a bit hard to hear over the music.
I didn't even hear music.
"Who gives a damn about Dinah?"
But like they did forcibly circumcise *then* slaughter an entire city for her a few chapters ago
Joseph complained to Jacob that his brothers wouldn't shut up about genealogy.
Does the Biblical Good ever talk to anyone who isn't a deeply unpleasant and/or a conartist?
It’s great how these people back then had so much first hand personal experience with their all powerful all seeing God but when they decide to do something bad like cheat their brother of their inheritance and fathers blessing or kill a brother and make up a story to deceive their father they seem to totally ignore the fact that their all powerful all seeing God will witness everything they did? It gives the impression they don’t give a crap about God at all when it suits them.
It’s also a shame God didn’t nip this ‘brother killing brother’ in the bud with Cain and Able? You see what happens God when you don't deal with this sort of thing properly in the first place. But then again it was a ‘favouritism’ issue with Cain and Able as well.
I just hope God gets around to giving us better guidance on killing, lying, stealing and hopefully slavery soon.
My favorite part is when the Jews fleeing from Egypt after all the plagues and parting of the red sea just start worshipping a cow because Moses left them for a few days. Totally believable.
I wouldn't count on it...

@Google is God I tried to reply to someone's comment on YT with references from Numbers 31. YT kept removing it because it is so horrific.
@Google is God : frankly, it's hard to choose which book is the worst, there's messed up stuff pretty much in all those I've read so far.
Maybe Joseph was dissed that the older ones were porking the sheep and he wasn't gettin any?
I also hate people when they tell me their dreams
But you're been demoted to human diary, people now tell you everything and you're not allowed to tell others their dirty secrets. Good luck with that

Keep up the good work
4:33 "Oh they're so gonna beat him up after this..." 😂
Btw my name comes from Joseph, so this is hilarious 🤣
LOL, but do parents love their kids equally? I know my older sister is my mom's favourite and I'm my dad's favourite. Our poor brother. But the difference is, they'd never say it flat out, and it's more to do with the fact that dad and I think alike, and my sister and mom think alike. It's not like they'd give us special treatment for thinking like them.
It's impossible to love people who are as different as my kids in the same way. I just tell them that whichever one I'm with at the moment is favorite. And it's true!
Hey, secular Jew here. I adore this series, and it's basically the only reason I know anything about the Bible/Old Testament besides the basics. But when it says that Jacob (and also Reuben, I guess) tore their clothes, it's an expression of grief, and yeah it's a little strange, but it's also a present-day tradition at Jewish funerals, and it seems to be really cathartic. There's a process and a prayer, and though I haven't done it, it seems to be a cathartic practice even irrespective of the religious aspect. That's the ONLY thing I take issue with, here, lol. Again, love the series! I just think not everyone knows that rending the clothing is a pretty harmless, cathartic practice and yeah, maybe it's strange from the outside, but making fun of it makes me somewhat uncomfortable.
My aunt actually just did it a couple weeks ago when my [estranged] grandmother died; that was my first encounter with it. It's not all that strange in person.
At least one person, you, have studied the Bible.
I'm transfixed! This is more hilarious that the Big Bang Theory.
Joseph was upset because his brothers ate all the fruit & didn’t let him have any ... so he did the only manly thing possible & cry to his daddy about it!
Oh & as for Dina, she was mentally insane from that nonstop banjo playing every time she went into the kitchen!
*Why People In The Bible Fall On Their Faces So Often:* I've heard Hement ask why this happens, maybe not in this video, but in others. In short, this is called "prostrating." Priests and Rabi prostrate by laying flat on the ground to show submission and respect to divine beings like angels or God. Abraham, Moses, and Arron are a few of the Biblical figures to do this. "Falling on your face" means prostrating in some cultures. Here in modern days it's used to say you humiliated yourself. So, like that, but for a deity.
Poor Esau, he is the Rodney Dangerfield of the bible.
7:37 oh? you are approaching us?
Growing up with an older sister that was definitely my mother’s favorite, I probably would have sold her for $20. too lol

Images and Statues, Relics & Holy Water
I. Images and Statues
Deut. 4:15 - from this verse, Protestants say that since we saw “no form” of the Lord, we should not make graven images of Him.
Deut. 4:16 - of course, in early history Israel was forbidden to make images of God because God didn’t yet reveal himself visibly “in the form of any figure.”
Deut. 4:17-19 - hence, had the Israelites depicted God not yet revealed, they might be tempted to worship Him in the form of a beast, bird, reptile or fish, which was a common error of the times.
Exodus 3:2-3; Dan 7:9; Matt. 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32; Acts 2:3- later on, however, we see that God did reveal himself in visible form (as a dove, fire, etc).
Deut. 5:8 - God’s commandment “thou shall not make a graven image” is entirely connected to the worship of false gods. God does not prohibit images to be used in worship, but He prohibits the images themselves to be worshiped.
Exodus 25:18-22; 26:1,31 - for example, God commands the making of the image of a golden cherubim. This heavenly image, of course, is not worshiped by the Israelites. Instead, the image disposes their minds to the supernatural and draws them to God.
Num. 21:8-9 - God also commands the making of the bronze serpent. The image of the bronze serpent is not an idol to be worshiped, but an article that lifts the mind to the supernatural.
I Kings 6:23-36; 7:27-39; 8:6-67 - Solomon’s temple contains statues of cherubim and images of cherubim, oxen and lions. God did not condemn these images that were used in worship.
2 Kings 18:4 - it was only when the people began to worship the statue did they incur God’s wrath, and the king destroyed it. The command prohibiting the use of graven images deals exclusively with the false worship of those images.
1 Chron. 28:18-19 - David gives Solomon the plan for the altar made of refined gold with a golden cherubim images. These images were used in the Jews’ most solemn place of worship.
2 Chron. 3:7-14 - the house was lined with gold with elaborate cherubim carved in wood and overlaid with gold.
Ezek. 41:15 - Ezekiel describes graven images in the temple consisting of carved likenesses of cherubim. These are similar to the images of the angels and saints in many Catholic churches.
Col. 1:15 - the only image of God that Catholics worship is Jesus Christ, who is the “image” (Greek “eikon”) of the invisible God.
II. Relics
Mark 15:43; John 19:38 - Joseph of Arimathea sought Christ’s dead body instead of leaving it with the Romans. Joseph gave veneration to our Lord’s body.
Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1 - the women came to further anoint Christ’s body even though it had been sealed in the tomb.
John 19:39 - Nicodemus donated over one hundred pounds of spices to wrap in Jesus’ grave clothes. This is also veneration of our Lord’s body.
Matt. 9:21; Mark 5:28 - the woman with the hemorrhage just sought the hem of Christ’s cloak and was cured. This shows that God uses physical things to effect the supernatural.
Acts 19:11-12 - Paul’s handkerchiefs healed the sick and those with unclean spirits. This is another example of physical things effecting physical and spiritual cures.
Acts 5:15 - Peter’s shadow healed the sick. This proves that relics of the saints have supernatural healing power, and this belief has been a part of Catholic tradition for 2,000 years.
Rev. 6:9 - the souls of the martyrs are seen beneath the heavenly altar. Their bones are often placed beneath altars in Catholic churches around the world.
2 Kings 13:21 - Elisha’s bones bring a man back to life. The saints’ bones are often kept beneath the altars of Catholic churches and have brought about supernatural cures throughout the Christian age.
Rom. 13:7; Phil. 2:25-29; Heb. 3:3; 1 Pet. 2:7 - we are taught to honor the people of God and in 1 Cor. 4:16-17; 1 Cor. 11:1-2; Phil. 3:17; 1 Thess. 1:6; 2 Thess. 3:7; Heb. 6:12; Heb. 13:7; James 5:10-11 - we are reminded to imitate them. Keeping relics of the saints serves both to honor and imitate their heroic faith in Christ (just as keeping articles of deceased loved ones helps us honor and imitate them).
III. Holy Water
Ex. 29:4; Lev. 8:6 - Aaron and his sons were washed in holy water in their consecration to the priesthood. Thus, we see the use of holy water during the beginning of salvation history.
Ex. 30:18-19 - the Lord requires Aaron and his sons to wash their hands and feet in holy water before they offered sacrifices to Him. The Church uses holy water for various purposes, and holy water fonts are generally located at the entrance of Catholic churches to be used before the sacrifice of Christ is offered to the Father.
Num. 5:17 - here again, the priest uses holy water. God uses natural matter to convey the supernatural, just as God who is Spirit became flesh in Christ Jesus.
Num. 8:7 - the Lord says to “sprinkle them with the water of remission.” The Lord uses water, a physical property, to convey His supernatural property of grace.
1 Kings 7:38-39 - in King Solomon’s temple, there were ten large basins of holy water. Holy water has always been used in the context of worship.
John 9:6-7 - Jesus uses clay and spittle to heal the blind man’s eyes, and ordered him to wash in the pool of Siloam to effect the cure. Jesus did not need to use spittle, clay and water, but He does to demonstrate that God uses the material things He created to give graces and heal us.
John 13:4-10 - the Lord uses water to wash the apostles’ feet to prepare them for their sacramental priesthood.
John 19:34 - water and blood flowed from Jesus’ pierced side on the Cross. The Church uses holy water as a symbol of our Lord’s life giving water that flowed from His sacred Heart, and as the property which brings about the power of Jesus Christ Himself, in baptism, the Eucharist, and other sacred rites of the Church.
Joseph sound like he was asking to get murdered by his brothers lol. The saying "snitches get stiches" seems to have applied even then lol.
What did his brothers do to make Joseph report to his father you ask? Well, it's a pastoral culture, they are out with the flocks the whole day and maybe there was no hot virgin to rape available at the time. Or the other way around: He was shocked that his brothers refused to participate in the old hebrew customs of manhood..
Biblical family dysfunction. Gotta love it.
No, sometimes a sheath of grain is a phallic symbol.
You should up load on sundays and make it Sunday school 😂
Wait a sec...the kids were grazing the cattle 50 miles from home? What, don’t they have any fields around where they live? To paraphrase Sam Kinison, why don’t they move to where the food is?
And what Joseph had to report back to daddy: the brothers were tending to the flock alright...one sheep at a time! *bow-chicka-bow-wow!*
13:54 What would happen in reality
Jacob: WHAT WAIT A MINUUUUTE! Sounds f a m i l i a r *cue flashback*
Are you trying to TRICK M E?THE master of trickery? I'll have you know I tricked yo grandad to give be blessing with more elaborate trick ya know
Chapter 38 is next ... the hype is real!
My theory about the eleven stars is that it might be a reference to the signs of the zodiac. At that time, the constellation of Libra was not in existence. The sign of Libra was invented during the time of Julius Cesar and is actually formed from the claws of the sign of Scorpio:

This man is too funny and clever!
Daddy didn't like Joe, one less mouth to feed I guess...
