Dude, you're the oldest of 5, too? Ugh, we practically become parent number 3, am I right?

My younger sibs would be beating the crap put of each other, and I'd just steal all the rest of their food while they were distracted.😂😂 Oh, man, good times.

As the youngest of 6 (with 3 older brothers), I will tell you that not only would he not get the most food, but he would also be getting a wedgie and being told to not hit himself (while they use his hand to hit him).

Depending on the exact timing "Egypt" included a lot of the lands mentioned in Genesis. So travelling to Egypt may have been a short distance, possibly zero.
During the period of time that the Genesis and Exodus stories were supposed to take place the Egyptian Middle Kingdom included Sinai and certainly up to Gaza. Hittite, Mitanni, and Assyrian Empires all converged in and around Canaan. I'm not sure How stable the boundaries were between the various empires at that time.
@@osaomoragbon7852 The problem is that for the likely time of Moses leaving Egypt, Moses escaped from Egypt to ... Egypt. Sea routes were well established in the Mediterranean, so distance should not have been a problem. After a quick reference to maps of the Egyptian kingdom sizes, 1500 - 200 BCE Egypt included what is now Israel, though definitions are always a problem.

Hi it was not a box of Rose's being part of the chosen tribe. They were slaves for 420 years with no rights, working 7 days a week, being raped and murdered at a whim however the upside was they came out of that and essentially married God as seen in exodus 19 and 20(pentecost).

I did not like you at first, I didn’t understand what you were teaching, I didn’t know I was an atheist and I enjoyed very much listening to how you break down the Bible thank you
Wait, Joseph was pretty much in charge of all of Egypt, and the Egyptians COULDN'T eat with Hebrews? He didn't think to uh... you know, command them to get over their snobbery? He just chose to be treated as an outcast in the society he ruled? Ok
I have to admit when I first seen your tapes I didn’t like you The truth I didn’t understand atheism, didn’t know I was an atheist and grew to respect how you break down the Bible you do something special like very few people do
Hi Kevin, At the beginning of Gensis you will see that men and women were designed to live forever. (we still live our lives like there is no last day) but as a result of disobeying a law Dont eat the fruit off that tree) the entire human race ends up dead so the answer to your question is billions however that's exactly why Jesus died on the cross, he legally paid for Adam's mistake and restored mankind back but we ourselves still die (as Jesus did)as our bodies are still cursed but if we allow Gods spirit to work in us then we like Jesus are given s new eternal body. The cost of this is that we have to turn from living a selfish life how we want and start to live it with the help of the Holy Spirit and just as Jesus did, give up our lives to help others. Hope this helps
@@markferguson6194 where are all the dead living now? No place has been discovered where the dead go to live forever. It's just like Haydes in the underworld, all myth. And do you really want to live forever? After the first million years you will beg for it to end, especially if you have to kiss god's ass till the end of time.
Jizrael hahahahaha. Whats funny is finally in Genesis 43 Jacob is now finally known as Israel. Like he was supposed be long ago more than once but the authors forgot..😆 🤣 😂
Not sure that motive an atheist has when he study's the bible. Certainly isnt going to be a balanced look at the bible. He should get back to practicing being an atheist exploiting other human beings and living in greed, anxiety, fear. God isnot someone you have a belief about. I live in his presence and his Holy Spirit lives in me and has done a great job of filling me with love,joy and peace. I even stopped biting my finger nails after biting then for 57 years. I had an atheist friend and one day his wife got cancer and was in extreme pain so I prayed for her and the Holy spirit touched her and touched him. He is no longer an athiest
Then please tell me what's going on with the election in the USA right now, @Mark Ferguson ? And if democracy should be torn away that much? And all the showy chanting, that does not look that biblical? Also, why did satan keep any powers post exile?
@@chrissonofpear1384 hi Chris, when Jesus walked the earth he did not try to overthrow the roman empire but the roman empire ultimately fell apart. The US is no different and the cracks are beginning to show. No country can exist based on a system of greed and fear and elitism, all that's happening is just s reaping of a harvest so yo speak. Democracy has been dead In most of the world and its run my an elite group of very wealthy people and we just do as we are told under the veneer of democracy. History shows that most empires and dominant political systems have always had a balance. E.g communism and capitalism. With the demise of communion we have seen capitalism go unchecked creating a very powerful world system based on greed, control and fear. This system is going to be challenging by a new form of government that has not been seen for several thousand years based on caring for one another, peace and joy and will herald the return of Messiah (if u r a jew) and Jesus if u r a Christian. The fact Israel exists as a country is testament of this fact. As for the powers the devil has, well hes a spirit and has no body so his power is somewhat limited to deceiving the nations and useing our own human weakness to steal,kill and destroy ourselves. I would imagine that the US will continue to deteriorate with unrest spreading to other countries as well
@@markferguson6194 Then maybe more time should have been spent on THAT than centuries of debate on heresy and Papal rule and Transubstantiation? As it led to centuries of CHAOS, warfare, inaction, anti Semitism, propping up royals who send peasants to kill each other, and then led to the Thirty Years War too. After which Poland and other countries had to introduce NEW laws allowing separation between church and state. So if - alternatives - have arisen, then the church is not wholly exempt from the causations, just possibly?
@@chrissonofpear1384 hi Chris I could not agree more. The roman Catholic church murdered millions of Christians and Jews. Anyone can call themselves a Christian and many have for political reasons and there own selfish goals but submission to the Holy Spirits power is submission to a wonderful life of selflessness and is based around love,joy and peace. This hasn't changed, there are plenty of church leaders today who's only motive is money and power but I wouldn't want to be one of those people on the other side of eternity. Find a bible and read acts 2v42 to 47 and acts 4v32 to 37. That's what Christian culture should look like and that is what the Holy Spirit is going to restore to his Church soon.
@@markferguson6194 And? Another guy not so long ago told me that was ALL due to plan, the jews had 'rejected Grace for the Law' and so were prophecized to be persecuted, etc, etc. Who can tell? Seems one can read all SORTS of things from that book. Except... why Satan KEPT any facking powers, that is. Or could convince many angels in the first place. And did God want Catholics led astray, or not? Now about 1 billion of them?

Doesn’t it indicate what is truly important to Yahweh? Also, it was Moses' third visit in Chapter 34 where he was given the actual 10 commandments, rather than the first 10 of 91 commands that Christians like to post all over, as translated into the vernacular by DarkMatter2525 th-cam.com/video/QjhFlI6-ZBI/w-d-xo.html 1. Worship only me. 2. Don’t make any metal idols. 3. For seven days eat bread without yeast. 4. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to me. 5. Take a day off. Use it to kiss my ass. 6. At the turn of the year, have a fucking party. 7. Have your people come and see me three times a year. 8. Don’t make any sacrifices containing yeast. 9. Bring me your fresh produce. 10. Don’t cook a baby goat in its mothers milk. “The Lord said to Moses: Write these words; in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel. He was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.” Go pull out your Bible and actually read it.
@@kingsolomon7553 How would I know there is a God? No one has ever shown me credible evidence for one and no "Look at the trees! Look at the pretty flowers!" is only evidence for trees and flowers.

But wait...didn't god tell Jacob (in Genesis 31:3) that he will be with Jacob? And said it again after the wrestling match and changed Jacobs name to Israel? So why hadn't god forewarned Jacob of the future famine?
Last point: in the Dreamworks movie version of this, they don't recognise him because he's lived in Egypt so long. His skin has gone from olive to brown, for one thing, but he also grew one of those pointed beard things, and he's wearing a headdress anyway, not to mention that it's been, like, ten or twenty years.
Traditionally,Hebrews wouldn't look at anybodies faces-even their own family! Nah.Just kidding.
Thanks, you actually make reading this thing fun.
FA, Hemant. These are so much better, read and commented on by you! Outstanding.👍💞✌😷🎃
So. Hes hell bound.
Only elevated souls can experience the joy of communing with other elevated in hell.
Joseph is dressed and hair and beard like an authoritative Egyptian. And older.
I wonder if the bible was just a loose collection of any ancient novella that happened to mention the word 'god' in it.
LOL, how would ‘jizz’real not know? It was the ‘climax’ of the previous chapter. Hemant is hilarious.
Sorry, is Joseph the hero of the story or a Bond Villain? 🧐
Hebrooties, a balanced part of any religious dinner.
How would the Egyptians even know about the Hebrews. They were one family from another country.
Here's a question, why doesn't Israel go to Egypt to meet this man himself? If Joseph saw his father, don't you think he would relent?
They always washed their feet, was it some tradition, they ate with their feet? like the chinese with chopsticks...
They tended to step barefooted on dung
@@johnalanelson ok, couldn't afford sandals like the Romans, I get it....
Have you ever taken a long walk in flip flops?
@@danacampbell8331 I think I walked once 100 metres on a very very very hot beach with them... I still remember, so I guess I get your point. But the Roman legions didn't all wear flip flops? Only the Australian Auxilliaries, I thought.
@@marcdecock7946 roman legion's? This is supposed to take place centuries before Rome was founded, at least wait until we are watching a video that is reading a story that is supposed to take place at a time when Rome existed before referencing the the Roman legions.
I thought there was a famine, but apparently they still have food to spare.
Your rumor is the only thing keeping me from being depressed about how much influence the Bible has on our country.
I wonder where they got the silver from...and the silver smiths.
During the Bronze Age silver was mined in Anatolia (Eastern Turkey), the Aegean area (Greece), and Iberia (Spain). There were trade routes all over the Mediterranean until the Late Bronze Age Collapse.
He's killing me with the "Jizzrael" name for Jakob! 😂😂😂
I did not like you at first, I didn’t understand what you were teaching, I didn’t know I was an atheist and I enjoyed very much listening to how you break down the Bible thank you
It's like a movie plot. I guess Joseph wanted his brothers fearful of their lives so the surprise that's he's their brother would be more of a shock!
How do you eat.a meal with someone by yourself? Such precise language in the bible...
Was Joseph the only guy in ALL of Egypt that could sell food? Could they not go to any other person to buy the food?
Dirty feet ? Must be the Mould Testament ! Two sheckles more extra cheese.
10.17 hello Clarice 😂
Cracking up every time he says "Jisreal".
If this were a tv show it would have been canceled long ago.
Thank you 🙏
Exactly! What happened to the famine? They have honey and pistachios? Good grief.
Excellent series!
Wait, Joseph was pretty much in charge of all of Egypt, and the Egyptians COULDN'T eat with Hebrews? He didn't think to uh... you know, command them to get over their snobbery? He just chose to be treated as an outcast in the society he ruled? Ok
As for Judah not offering up his sons, I don't think he wanted to take any chances.
laughing every time the brothers mentioned their sacks in this story....more double entendres than a Carry On movie...!
They probably don't recognize him cause of the Gold chain necklace Pharaoh gave him!!
Jisrael 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since my hearing aids are being repaired, I set this on Closed Caption and it says Jizzrael...LOL
So it’s all about the Benjamin?
I have to admit when I first seen your tapes I didn’t like you
The truth I didn’t understand atheism, didn’t know I was an atheist and grew to respect how you break down the Bible you do something special like very few people do
Next is Exodus?
What is the death toll so far at the end of Genesis?
Hi Kevin, At the beginning of Gensis you will see that men and women were designed to live forever. (we still live our lives like there is no last day) but as a result of disobeying a law Dont eat the fruit off that tree) the entire human race ends up dead so the answer to your question is billions however that's exactly why Jesus died on the cross, he legally paid for Adam's mistake and restored mankind back but we ourselves still die (as Jesus did)as our bodies are still cursed but if we allow Gods spirit to work in us then we like Jesus are given s new eternal body. The cost of this is that we have to turn from living a selfish life how we want and start to live it with the help of the Holy Spirit and just as Jesus did, give up our lives to help others. Hope this helps
@@markferguson6194 where are all the dead living now? No place has been discovered where the dead go to live forever. It's just like Haydes in the underworld, all myth. And do you really want to live forever? After the first million years you will beg for it to end, especially if you have to kiss god's ass till the end of time.
Wait, everybody will get drunk? Maybe then it's a good story after all!
This is the end??? Really??? Are you kidding me??? This is a cliffhanger and it must be solved in the next part!
Jizrael hahahahaha. Whats funny is finally in Genesis 43 Jacob is now finally known as Israel. Like he was supposed be long ago more than once but the authors forgot..😆 🤣 😂
Not sure that motive an atheist has when he study's the bible. Certainly isnt going to be a balanced look at the bible. He should get back to practicing being an atheist exploiting other human beings and living in greed, anxiety, fear. God isnot someone you have a belief about. I live in his presence and his Holy Spirit lives in me and has done a great job of filling me with love,joy and peace. I even stopped biting my finger nails after biting then for 57 years. I had an atheist friend and one day his wife got cancer and was in extreme pain so I prayed for her and the Holy spirit touched her and touched him. He is no longer an athiest
Then please tell me what's going on with the election in the USA right now, @Mark Ferguson ? And if democracy should be torn away that much? And all the showy chanting, that does not look that biblical?
Also, why did satan keep any powers post exile?
@@chrissonofpear1384 hi Chris, when Jesus walked the earth he did not try to overthrow the roman empire but the roman empire ultimately fell apart. The US is no different and the cracks are beginning to show. No country can exist based on a system of greed and fear and elitism, all that's happening is just s reaping of a harvest so yo speak. Democracy has been dead In most of the world and its run my an elite group of very wealthy people and we just do as we are told under the veneer of democracy. History shows that most empires and dominant political systems have always had a balance. E.g communism and capitalism. With the demise of communion we have seen capitalism go unchecked creating a very powerful world system based on greed, control and fear. This system is going to be challenging by a new form of government that has not been seen for several thousand years based on caring for one another, peace and joy and will herald the return of Messiah (if u r a jew) and Jesus if u r a Christian. The fact Israel exists as a country is testament of this fact. As for the powers the devil has, well hes a spirit and has no body so his power is somewhat limited to deceiving the nations and useing our own human weakness to steal,kill and destroy ourselves. I would imagine that the US will continue to deteriorate with unrest spreading to other countries as well
@@markferguson6194 Then maybe more time should have been spent on THAT than centuries of debate on heresy and Papal rule and Transubstantiation? As it led to centuries of CHAOS, warfare, inaction, anti Semitism, propping up royals who send peasants to kill each other, and then led to the Thirty Years War too. After which Poland and other countries had to introduce NEW laws allowing separation between church and state. So if - alternatives - have arisen, then the church is not wholly exempt from the causations, just possibly?
@@chrissonofpear1384 hi Chris I could not agree more. The roman Catholic church murdered millions of Christians and Jews. Anyone can call themselves a Christian and many have for political reasons and there own selfish goals but submission to the Holy Spirits power is submission to a wonderful life of selflessness and is based around love,joy and peace. This hasn't changed, there are plenty of church leaders today who's only motive is money and power but I wouldn't want to be one of those people on the other side of eternity. Find a bible and read acts 2v42 to 47 and acts 4v32 to 37. That's what Christian culture should look like and that is what the Holy Spirit is going to restore to his Church soon.
@@markferguson6194 And? Another guy not so long ago told me that was ALL due to plan, the jews had 'rejected Grace for the Law' and so were prophecized to be persecuted, etc, etc. Who can tell? Seems one can read all SORTS of things from that book. Except... why Satan KEPT any facking powers, that is. Or could convince many angels in the first place.
And did God want Catholics led astray, or not? Now about 1 billion of them?
This movie is so wrong
Where is the devil in all this, the producer is missing the fun details.
Wait! They have almonds?
Hmm...how long would it take to get from Palestine to Egypt on a donkey? And don't you also have to cross water to do that? The Red Sea, I mean. I gotta look at a map.
The Suez Canal was dug much later, you could walk there. That only illustrates what a bad navigator Mozes was.
I looked it up a while back. Probably 5 to 7 days. Less if you really push it.
@@oscargordon If you look at the map, there the gulf of aqaba to the east, the mediterranean to the north and the gulf of suez to the west... it's a bit like bowling with children's railings, you can't miss...
@@marcdecock7946 To get from Egypt to Jerusalem head north, keep the water on your left. There was a major trade route that went from Egypt to what is now eastern Turkey with a steady stream of traffic.
@@oscargordon If you walk by the brightest star (the sun) you might end up going in circles for a while down south there...
storytime!
What nonsense! Just storytelling,and bad storytelling at that.Besides,how did the writer of the "inerrant word of God"in Genesis-know the details of those conversations that he was not privy to? Kind've sounds like the new testament in that way.

@@francablou7978 Hypocrites? Not at all.
We’re warning kids to avoid creepy adults who believe in this book as true. We have to know the crazy people inside-out. Crazy people leave us with no choice than to bore ourselves with this crap 🤣
@@Onganana hahaha! So you are warning but you can't help but keep talking about it and make money out it. Lmao!
I think the whole thing bout the extra gifts is to give them a bit of an edge: now that Joseph is gone, Jacob is VERY open about the fact that Benjamin is his favourite kid, so he'd want leverage. Too bad you're also betting the lives of at least two of your sons on this. He's a dick. XD
"God"deliberately made family members jealous of one another over and over again throughout the Bible.After all,he's a jealous God.

Hello Friendly Atheist, recently I've found a channel of Rapture dream testimony from Christians and I was wondering what would be your opinion on this. I know some of them may lie but there is no rational way that they all dreamed the same thing at the same time.

Exodus is good until you get to the building of the tabernacle, I doubt it if Hemet will make it through that.
Has anybody ever made it through that? The funny thing is that there were far more rules in Exodus 25-31 for building a tabernacle than the "objectively" moral rules given in Exodus 20 to 23.
@@oscargordon Do you mean instructions for building the tabernacle? Why would you compare instructions for building the tabernacle with moral laws? You're not making a lick of sense.
@@kingsolomon7553 So why does comparing how much detail Yahweh but into the 91 “moral” commands from Chapters 20 to 23 from Moses first visit, the ones Moses wrote down from memory when he returned to camp, compared to the tabernacle commands from Moses second visit, the ones that Yahweh personally wrote in stone, the ones that Moses smashed from Chapters 25 to 31, “not make sense”?
Doesn’t it indicate what is truly important to Yahweh?
Also, it was Moses' third visit in Chapter 34 where he was given the actual 10 commandments, rather than the first 10 of 91 commands that Christians like to post all over, as translated into the vernacular by DarkMatter2525

1. Worship only me.
2. Don’t make any metal idols.
3. For seven days eat bread without yeast.
4. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to me.
5. Take a day off. Use it to kiss my ass.
6. At the turn of the year, have a fucking party.
7. Have your people come and see me three times a year.
8. Don’t make any sacrifices containing yeast.
9. Bring me your fresh produce.
10. Don’t cook a baby goat in its mothers milk.
“The Lord said to Moses: Write these words; in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel. He was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.”
Go pull out your Bible and actually read it.
@@oscargordon All I have to say is you're in the dark if you don't know there is a God.
@@kingsolomon7553 How would I know there is a God? No one has ever shown me credible evidence for one and no "Look at the trees! Look at the pretty flowers!" is only evidence for trees and flowers. What have you got? What convinced you that there is some other realm with sentient beings in it?
I know it sounds kind of creepy to cook a baby goat in its mother's milk rather than some other goats milk, but really, is that one of the top ten things your god doesn't want me to do?
