Genesis Chapters 36-39 (READ)

All right, this prayer to the Most High. Shalom leadership, shalom sisters, long brothers, you know, soldiers, officers, captains, deacons, bishop. Can we get a brother scribe? Can we get a brother to go ahead and commit to scribing for us so we can get started? We got two hours to get through these four chapters and answer any questions about the chapters at the end. Okay? You, yeah, let's go ahead and do the disclaimer. Did I get a scribe? Did I get somebody that can scribe for me? And scribing, any squad? Somebody said, "Don't eat burgers." But eat the burgers, bro. I already ate it up and it was fine. All praises. Anybody scribing? I need to say, "Okay, all praise." All praise. Anybody preferably of rank, soldiers and above, to scribe. All praise to the Most High. Okay, let's go ahead and read this plan. We already sent up prayers first. My bad. All right, sisters, cover your head. Make sure the young daughters of Sarah here to cover. Let us uncover your head. All right, let's face Jerusalem. Sent our prayers. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. All right, all right, all right. Okay.

All right, so today we're going to go over Genesis the 36th chapter through the 39th chapter. Okay? Uh, obviously together. I, I see Jackson, Mississippi to write. I have officers, all right. So, I'll pray. So, we're gonna try to get through this, y'all. And then at the end, if we have time, we'll answer questions pertaining to the chapters. All right. So, um, read that disclaimer real quick. I'm sorry. We are not a hate group. We are not affiliated with any other Israelite group. Israel United in Christ is a non-violent, Bible-based movement. We do not advocate or condone any acts of violence against any race, ethnicity, or gender. We advise that if anyone hears or knows of any plots that cause harm to anyone, but to break the laws of the land, you must contact the proper authorities to bring awareness to any possible threat, as stated in Leviticus chapter 5 and verse 1.

All praises, all praises to the Most High. So with that being said, we're gonna get into Genesis the 36th chapter, starting at, starting there. So we'll just break it down as we go through it. All right. Genesis 36, verse 1. This is the book of Genesis, chapter 36, and verse 1. Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. It's one of my favorite topics. I'll pray to the Lord. So they said, "Now these are the generations of Esau." Uh, if Esau, who is Edom? Okay, Esau is Edom. Okay. So today, we know them as the so-called white man. No, it's not the Arab. Okay? No, it's not Saudi. Where they say East Saudi Arabia? No, that's no, it's the white man, so-called white man. Go to Genesis 25, real quick. Start at 21. The book of Genesis, chapter 25, verse 21. Go ahead. And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her. And she said, "If it be so, why am I thus?" And she went to inquire of the Lord. Go ahead. And the Lord said unto her, "Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels." So Rebekah 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. Meaning these people will 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 elders shall serve the younger." And in the future, I mean, in future prophecy, the elders shall serve the younger. 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, when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb." She had twins. Read. "And the first came out red all over like an hairy garment." And it said, "The first child came out red all over like a 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. Read. "And Isaac was three score years old when she bare them." And Isaac was three score, I mean, it's 60 years old when she bare them. He said, "Jacob took hold on Esau's heel." They named him Jacob. Jacob wasn't described because Jacob looked like everyone from Adam up into his time. Jacob looked like a, he was a black man. He was, it was a, had melanin. He was a black man. It doesn't say what skin tone he would 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 wasted away melanin. Read. Verse 27. Verse 27. Read. "And the boys grew. And Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field. And Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents." Showing you the difference. One of them liked to go out 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 Judah said he was gonna scribe. Uh, could you scribe? We started off in Genesis 36, verse 1. Then we jumped from there. Now we jump to Genesis 25, verse 21. And now we, uh, down to verse 28. Okay. Genesis 25, 21-28. 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's pottage." And Esau came from the field, and he was faint. Read. "And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage." That uncooked meat. That red pottage. Meaning uncooked meat, right? "But I am faint." Read. "Therefore was his name called Edom." Edom means red. Therefore, his name was called Edom because he wanted that same red pot, that red meat. All right.

Now go back to Genesis 36, verse 1 again. Genesis, chapter 36, and verse 1. Go ahead. "Now these are the generations of Esau, who was Edom." We found out why his name was changed to Edom. And who Esau was. Esau was the twin brother, the eldest brother of, between Jacob and Esau, which were the sons of Jacob, excuse me, Isaac and Rebekah. All right. Esau's name was changed to Edom because he wanted red raw meat. You understand? That's what his name was changed to Edom because Edom means red. All right. So now, verse 2. Verse 2. "And Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hittite." Uh-huh. "And Bashemath, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebaioth." And Adah bare to Esau, Eliphaz. And Bashemath bare Reuel. And Oholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. So some of you may be like, "Well, why did he take a wife of the land of Canaan?" Remember, this is Genesis, or Bereshit, 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 [ __ ] you understand this? He was the first of the [ __ ] you understand? So his lineage would have to, of course, go through these women. So he had to get these handmade 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, and all 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." But their riches were 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 will 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 would have, 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. 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 I said, "Thus does dwell Esau in mount Seir." And we're going to get into that a little bit deeper, a little bit later, right? So as it does, it does dwell Esau in mount Seir. Mount Seir is going into, uh, the caves and the rocks. All right. Go to that. And Obadiah real quick, chapter 1, verse 3. See if we can, I'm gonna see if I can pull up a map so we can find the exact location of Mount Seir. Go to Obadiah 1. Let's verse 3. Obadiah, verse 3. Go ahead. "The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock." Will the Bible say, "Thou that dwelleth in the cliffs of the rock"? I 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 saith the Lord God concerning Edom; concerning who? Edom. Concerning Edom. Concerning Edom." Keep reading. "We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen: Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle." Read. "Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: greatly despised." Go ahead. "The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock." Now, that dwelleth in the clefts of the rock. All right. So let me find Mount Seir. Let's look that up. Cause we, 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. All right. So let's look at, uh, Mount Seir. I see Mount Ephraim. Let me just look up Edom. Give me a second, y'all. Just want to make sure we're on point. All right. The [ __ ] country was called Seir, of Mount Seir, which was the name of the territory in which the [ __ ] 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, and verse 8. Come on. "Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir." Uh-huh. "Esau is Edom." So the Esau dwell in the clefts of the rock. Go ahead. "And these are the generations of Esau the father of the [ __ ], the what? The father of the Edomite. The father of the [ __ ]." So that's why we mentioned earlier about how he had to get wives of Canaan because he was the first Edomite. So once he had children, he became the father of the lineage, or the, uh, race known as the [ __ ]. Remember, we are reading Genesis, the beginning of nations. Read. "The father of the [ __ ] in mount Seir." "These are the sons of Esau; Eliphaz the son of Adah, the wife of Esau: Reuel the son of Bashemath, the wife of Esau." And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman. So the sons of Eliphaz were Teman. 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 Germany." Yay, David. Is that how I say that? Yeah, David. So, "Edom and Germany." The [ __ ], the Germans know that they [ __ ] put it to you like that. Hitler knew he was an Edomite, okay? Because they are, they descend from Teman, which was one of the sons of Eliphaz, right? Which was one of Esau's grandsons. Okay. Go from there. Go to the book of Obadiah, chapter 1. We're gonna read verse 8 real quick. Obadiah, chapter 1, verse 8. Book of Obadiah, chapter 1. Let's read verse 8. "Teman, Teman, Teman." Obadiah, verse 8. "Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?" And thy mighty men, O Edom? Oh, two men. Because when you look at the grand scale 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, as a, uh, what's the word? Futuristic type. They do a lot of different, uh, high technology there. And Teman, or in Germany. So the Lord called Germany the mighty men, or the wise men of Esau. Okay. Go ahead. "And thy mighty men, O Edom, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter." So that's going into a future prophecy of how the Lord is going to destroy their technology and destroy all of their science. All right. So go back to the book of Genesis 36, verse 11. Genesis 36 and 11. "And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz." And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son. So Eliphaz, Esau's son, had a concubine named Timna. Read. "And she bare to Eliphaz, Amalek." O she bare 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 gonna show you something. I'm gonna show you something. So Eliphaz had a son named Amalek by his concubine Timna. Okay. So let me find, uh, the word. You got the word bastard? You got it on your phone? Yes. Pull it up. Okay. Bastard. Uh, a few definitions. Go ahead. Uh, an unpleasant, unpleasant or despicable person. A person of a specified kind. A difficult or awkward undertaking, situation or device. A person born of parents not married to each other. A boy. A person born of parents not married to each other. Read. Uh, you want some, uh, synonyms? You're gonna say somebody illegitimate. You ain't got the, uh, you ain't got it in the illegitimate child? Yeah, yeah, right there. Yeah. Illegitimate child. Child born out of wedlock. Love child. Bible. I don't know what that is. All right. Read. So read it. Now in the Zonoven Bible Dictionary. Two. Oh, right. This is the definition of bastard in the Zonoven Bible Dictionary. Go ahead. Specifically, child of incest. Child of what? Incest. Okay. Appears only three times in scripture. Right. 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 wags 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 want you to get it there so we can read it here. Get the black exact. Right. 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 the concubine is a lesser wife, but it's not the actual wife. Go ahead. Zechariah chapter 9 and verse 6. Because they had multiple concubines. What you got? "And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod." What 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 20, chapter 36, verse 12. Let's read that again. Genesis, chapter 36, and verse 12. "And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she bare to Eliphaz, Amalek." These were the sons of Adah, Esau's wife. And these are the sons of Reuel; Esau's son; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Bashemath, Esau's wife. And these are the sons of Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife. And she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. These were the dukes of the sons of Esau. So you're going to dukes, is 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, these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah." And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah. These are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Bashemath, Esau's wife. Uh-huh. "And these are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife." "These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes; these are their leaders, their dukes, their chief of their tribes." "These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah." "And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan." "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 will be the original inhabitants of the land of Edom. All right. Or Mount Seir, excuse me. Go to Genesis 14, verse 6. Genesis, chapter 14, and verse 6. "The book of Genesis, chapter 14, and verse 6." Read. "And the [ __ ]ites in mount Seir unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness." So I said, "And the Horites in their mount Seir." So the Horites were the original inhabitants of Mount Seir. All right. Go to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 2, verse 22. Deuteronomy 2 and 22. "Deuteronomy chapter 2, verse 22." "As he did unto the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead, even unto this day." So the Lord destroyed the, uh, Horites before it, Mount Seir, before, uh, Edom, so that Edom could dwell in Mount Seir. All right. Go back to Genesis 36 and, uh, where were you left off at? Verse 21. Yeah. Read 21 again. Genesis, chapter 36, verse 21. "Right. Yeah. The dukes of Hazaz." Yeah, they know who they are. "The dukes of Hazaz, duke." "The blue devils." Now they're the red devils, like the [ __ ]. Go ahead. "And Dishon, and Esau, and Dishan." "These are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom." "And the children of Lotan were Hori and Heman." And Lotan's sister was Timna. "And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam." "And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ayah, and Anah." This was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. "And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah." And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. "The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zavan, and Akan." "The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran." "These are the dukes that came of Horite; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon." So remember, the Horites were the ones that dwelt in Mount Seir before Edom did. All right. Before the Lord destroyed them and put them in their place. Okay. Go ahead. "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 First Samuel, the eighth chapter on into the ninth 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. All right. Go ahead. "Verse 32. And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah." "And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead." "And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead." The name of his city was Avith. "And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead." "And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead." "And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead." "And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, 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 was, ever had a kingdom, or ever had a king reign over us. I think smoking it. Go ahead. "According to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Alvah, uh-huh, duke Jeush, duke Oholibamah, duke Elah, duke Panon." "These be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites." He is Esau the father of the Edomite. He, the damn devil. The Bible's be good. I couldn't go into it like I wanted to. All right. Uh, let's jump into chapter 37 now. We done. What you do? Are we done with Genesis chapter 36? Just a quick recap. Just that 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, uh, Teman, which is the so-called Germans today. We're looking at Amalek, which is the so-called, uh, Jewish Edomite today. They call themselves an Israelite. All right. We went later on, we went through all the dukes, we were all the chief of his tribes that we went to the Horites and who inhabited Mount Seir. We figured out that Mount Seir was the cliffs of the rock that the scripture is talking about. So then we're dealing now, we're dealing with, uh, then we dealt with the Horites, right? Which were that dwelt in Mount Seir before Esau. And Esau destroyed. Esau destroyed them. While the Lord destroyed them before Esau, so Esau could dwell there. Right. And we went through the lineage of the [ __ ] from the beginning. So the beginning of the Edomite nation. All right. Uh, let's go to chapter 37 now.

The book of Genesis, chapter 37, and verse 1. Read a little bit louder. Yes, sir. "And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan." "These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen 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 wives. And Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. So Joseph was, Leviticus chapter 5, verse 1. The brothers were doing much evil away from the way from Jacob. So Joseph was the child, and, uh, I believe he was the youngest because his, no, Benjamin was the youngest. After Benjamin came after Joseph, right? Joseph snitched. Okay. Let's see if that's biblical. Get Leviticus chapter 5, verse 1. Leviticus 5 and verse 1. Go ahead. "And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity." Showing you that law always been around. Joseph understood that. Joseph brought back Jacob the evil report. Brothers out there doing much evil. Joseph brought that thing out. Go ahead. Go back to Genesis 37, 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: and he made him a coat of many colours." So he loved Joseph because Joseph was, like he 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, because he was the father, 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 peaceably unto him." They go on. 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, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: but, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf." He said that that he had a dream of him and his brethren. And he said that they were out by the sheaves, and his sheaf stood upright, but amen, like in righteousness. And behold, your sheaves stood around about and made obeisance to my sheaf. So, uh, let's go to the book of, um, Hosea chapter 12, verse 10. Show me 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 10. "I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, or dreams." Read. "And used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets." So the Lord showed him a similitude of a sheaf standing upright. Right. And the Bible says, "And then, and his sheaf stood upright, and his brother's sheaves 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. For Genesis 37, verse 8. "And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt 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 the Lord, that their father loved him more. So it aggravated them even more that he was having these type of dreams. Go from there, real quick. Go to the book of Sira, real quick, chapter 34. Sira chapter 34, and let's read, uh, verse 3 real quick. "Sira chapter 34, and verse 3." "The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another." So this says, "The vision of dreams is a resemblance of one thing to another." He saw sheaves, but it was a resemblance of one thing to another. He saw the sheaf, but the sheaf was a representation of himself. And the other sheaves that stood and made obeisance to his sheaf was a representation of his brothers. Right. Come on. "Even as the likeness of a face to a face." See that? He's, there's a likeness of a face to a face. Go back to Genesis 13, 7, 9. Genesis 37-9. "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 eleven 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 eleven stars made obeisance to me." So the sun, the moon, and 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, uh, signifying, or what was the allegory behind it. Revelation chapter 12, verse 1. Go ahead. "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head, excuse me, a crown of twelve 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. That, that the, 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 unto 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, the 12 stars, is the, 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 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 eleven 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 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?" 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 12 stars, or the 11 stars, represented his brothers." You understand? So that's what that's going into. The 11 stars representing 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 brethren 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 brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, 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 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 brothers come down to get food. I'm just bringing 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. "And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers." They said moreover unto Pharaoh, "But 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 him, they told him that the occupation. He told, remember Joseph told him in 46, he said, "Tell them that you're shepherds because shepherds are an abomination to the Egyptians." So he said, "Tell them you're shepherds, and he'll let you dwell in the land of get in, uh, land of Goshen." So now we're reading right here where Pharaoh then pulled, uh, 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'd 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. "In the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity amongst them, then make them rulers over my cattle." Glory. "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 in 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 Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. "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 saying." They 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 vale 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? Read. "And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks." And the man said, "They are departed hence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan." And Joseph went after 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 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, that much envy and hatred for their brother. Get that real quick in the book of, uh, 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, verse 1." Second. Let me look at it. "23. Neither will I go with consuming anything." 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 have 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." "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 beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams." 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 First John 3:15, real quick. That inner hatred for their brother caused them to conspire to kill him. Go ahead. First John 3 and 15. First John 3 and 15. Go ahead. "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer." Read. "And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." So he's saying, "Whosoever hated his brother is a murderer." And you know that no murderer had eternal life abiding 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. If you could get away from, get away with it, you would kill him. Right. Go back to Genesis 37. What was that verse 21? Now 21. Yes. 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 may rid him, that he may deliver him to his father again." Read. "And it came to pass." 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 again bring him back to Daddy, cause 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 colours 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: and they lift up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt." The Ishmaelites, of course, is the so-called Arab man today, not Esau, the Arab man. And Judah said unto his brother, "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 came? Cain. He said anything. Cain. He saw the same thing. Same spirit. Tried to conceal the blood of his brother. Right. Go ahead. "And they, excuse me, and 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 they passed by Midianites, merchant men. And they drew and lift up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt. So he sold my brother into Egypt. "And Reuben returned unto the pit: and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit: and he rent his clothes." So when they rent their clothes, that meant they were panicking. Like, "Oh God." He destroyed his clothes. He rent 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 unto 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 colours, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat, or no." "And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces." So now Jacob, panicking because he thinks his son dead right now. These brothers don't know what that happened to him. But they didn't dip this blood and dip the, the coat in blood just to make it seem like we had to do what 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 lawday was guilty of. Genesis 19, uh, Leviticus 19, 11. Yes, Soviet chapter 19, verse 11.

Go ahead. "You 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. Already taking his coat from, and they dipped it in blood. They don't really know what 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 all right. 20. Now, we was at verse 34, verse 31st. 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." Thus his father wept for him.

And the Midianites sold him into Egypt, and the Midianites sold him into Egypt 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 part of his household. All right.

So we're going to continue with that in chapter 39. Let's go to first chapter 38. Now, go ahead. First. 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 them would obey him and, uh, would make obeisance to him. We read about that in Genesis 47 when it 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 off his coat. Uh, went down to eat. Reuben said, "Hey, look, we don't need to kill him. He's our brother. At least sell him." You understand? Or excuse me, Judah said that, right? But Reuben had to intend to go back later and find the brother in the pit and bring him home. Unfortunately, the Midianites got there before they returned and sold them 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, they, the brothers conspired together, dipped his, uh, 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 that falsely, with him to let him on to believe that Joseph had been torn to pieces by, um, some wild beasts. Okay.

So now we're in chapter 38. Genesis 38 and verse 1. Genesis 38, verse 1. "And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in unto a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 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, and she conceived." And bare son, and he called his name Er. So Judah had sex with her, and she, he called his name. And she had a son, called his name Er. And she conceived again, and bare's son, and she called his name Onan. So Er and Onan were the first two sons of Judah. Reed. And she yet again conceived, and bare's son, and called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezib, when she bare him. Reed.

"And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord." So, wait a minute. It said, "And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar." So Tamar was the daughter-in-law, or the wife of his firstborn son, Er. It said, "Er, Judah's firstborn son, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord slew him." God killed this wicked negro. First. Juda. Thank you. First Judaism, man. Wicked as hell.

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, at least that he should give seed to his brother. So this also became a law later on. This name 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: her husband's brother shall go in unto her." Same account. "The husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife." Reed. "And perform the duty of her husband's brother unto her." See that? "And perform the duties of a brother's husband unto her." Reed. "And it shall be, that the firstborn which she bear shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel." And if the man like, and if the man so, the reason for that is so that his brother saw his, so 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 unto the gate right unto the elders and say, he'll go to the, uh, to the elders and say." Reed. "My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel: he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother." Rigg. "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. Reed. "Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, 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 brothers' 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 duty. It said that she would be able to, uh, what to say, loose he, and loose his shoe from off his foot, 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." Reed. "And his name shall be called in Israel the house of him that had his shoe loosed." And that became a, uh, what's the word? Uh, I don't know. I can't say stereotype. That would just become his name, you know? So 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, 38, 9 again. Genesis 38-8. "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 gonna be his seed because it was gonna be given to his brother for his brother's name. Same thing we read in Deuteronomy 25. Reed. "And it came to pass when he went in unto 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's 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 ain't say that, brother. You understand? The Bible is talking 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. Reed. "And the thing which he did, excuse me. Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house." Go ahead.

"And in process of time the daughter of Shua Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite." So Judah's wife died. So then he told, say, excuse me, he told Tamar, he said, "Sis, just wait until Shelah 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, uh, then later on his wife died. I mean, they're talking about Judah's, Judah's wife died. Her name was Shua. Verse. "And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah 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." But she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him. So when she saw that Shelah was grown and he wasn't giving her to wife, or she wasn't giving him the wife, she was like, "Some man, right about this." Or she heard about her father-in-law going up. So she wrapped herself in the clothing, she wrapped herself, she took her widow's garment off, and she wrapped herself in a veil. Reed.

"And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be an 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 there was a harlot. Just like today, we see women drab dressed, half naked, booty shorts, tight tights, little skipping skirts, trying to show off their figure. We know, "Oh, she got a harlot mindset. She's a [ __ ] according to the Bible, right?" Come on. Proverbs 7 and 10. "And behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and with a 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, read verse 15 one more time. Genesis 38 and 15. "When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, because she had covered her face: and he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee: for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law." So he wanted to have sex with the harlot, but he didn't know that was his daughter-in-law, right? "And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?" She said, "What you gonna 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, Wilt thou give me a pledge to the I'll send it." Reed. "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 her insurance policy that he gonna do what he said he was gonna do. Reed. "And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand." So she says, "I want the signet, the bracelets, and that staff that is in your hand." Right? "And he gave it to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him." So he had sex with her, and then she got pregnant, right?

"And she arose and went away, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: for 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. Reed. "Did he ask the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot that was openly by the way?" What the hell? That was over here. Go ahead. "And they said, There was no harlot." Let me say that on Life. You ain't never seen your life, man. You seen these, you're probably remember me. He said that on Life. He said, "Well, that girl that was up." He said, "What that waitress?" He said, "What girl?" He said, "Next time I come in here, you know what I started 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, uh, 22. "And he returned unto." Reed. 21 again. 21. "That's funny to me. 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 cards from him up under, uh, helping 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? I'm like, okay. So I see somebody got the laughing face. He said, "What girl?" He said, "What that girl?" They said, "What girl?" He said, "Next time I come in here, you stole what I started choking." That's what girl. Okay. I'll pray. I'll just make a shot. I know the Israelites don't hear to see Life. Now, go ahead. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm sorry.

"Did he ask the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot that was openly by the wayside? Where that girl? That was over here." Reed. "And they said, There was no harlot in this place. Ain't no harlot here. What girl?" Reed. "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." He, so the Adullamite went back to us, "Hey, man, what? No harlot there." And the brother said, "Want no harlot there." Go ahead. "And Judah said, Let her 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; she out here [ __ ] and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."

Now, it said, "Wait a minute. Now, it's wait a minute. It says, 'And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom.' And Judah said, 'Bring her forth, let her be burnt.'" This is the reason why. Go to the book of, uh, Sirach chapter 23 and let's read verse 20, 21, 22, real quick. 23 and 22.

"Thus shall it go also with the wife that leaveth with her husband, and bringeth in and heir by another: but 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 [ __ ] in adultery, and brought children by another man." Reed. "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, 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 unto Shelah when he was born, when he was older, she still was promised to his son. She was, so he was saying that she had went out and played the harlot. He didn't realize when he had sex with her that she was the woman that he had sex with.

I also go to the book of Sirach 42 and read verse, uh, "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 into a lot, until Shelah gets older." So she, in her father's house, she, he was under the impression that she had had sex with someone else. That's why she was pregnant. Reed. "And having a husband, unless she should be misbehaving, and having a husband, that she should misbehave herself." Right? "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. "Genesis 38, 25. Reed. When she was brought forth, she said unto her father-in-law, Saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child?" She said, "Sent her father, I said, By the, by the man whose these are, am I with child?" Reed. "And she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff." So she brought that back out. She like, "Okay, whose signet is this? Who bracelet is this? And whose staff is this? By this man, I'm a child." Reed. "And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I." She's been more righteous than me. Why? Because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. Because I was supposed to give it to my son, but I didn't do it. Right? "And he knew her again no more." And he didn't have sex with her again. "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 hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first." Glitch. "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 Perez. And they were called Perez. And afterwards came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah. His name was called Zerah." All right. So Perez is a rock. It's twins. Okay.

All right. So we got a quick recap of Genesis chapter 38. And Genesis chapter 38, we read about how, uh, 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 him, give her to him like he he was supposed to. So Judah, so she came 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, and Judah went into her, she he gave her his signet, he gave her his staff, and he gave her his, uh, what does he give her? Bracelet. So, right, as a token for her. So when he sent the kid back to her to find out that she wasn't there, and there was no 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, uh, Perez and Zerah. Okay. So that's a recap of chapter 38.

So let's go to chapter 39. 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, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian." So he said the Lord was with Joseph in his captivity, right? Even though Joseph was in captivity, the Lord was still walking with Joseph. Reed.

"And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and he saw that everything that Joseph touched was blessed, was prospered, because the Lord was with him. Reed. And that the Lord made all that he had to prosper in his hands. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had put into his hands." So go to the first King real quick. First Kings 8, and let's reverse 50 real quick. First Kings 8 and 50, just to show you that the Lord will 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.

"First 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 carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them." So that's our prayer now. And that's when we see 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 Egyptian's house for Jacob's sake, for Joseph's sake." Joseph says, "So he blessed the Egyptian's house for Jacob's sake, for Joseph's sake." Reed. "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, right? "And he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat." Go ahead.

"And Joseph was a goodly person and well favoured." So, Lord, the joy, 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 sees you, and she wants 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? Sean, you, Joseph was no skinny, scrawny joke. 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 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 should say we raped him.

Reed. Verse 8. "But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master what is not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand. Reed. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" So, you know what that proves? 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 of fact, get that real quick in the book of Genesis 25, 26, and 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. "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, Reed. My commandments, my statutes, and my laws." See that? Wait a minute. Read that again. "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my commandments, my statutes, my statute, and my laws." And my laws. There were laws around. The laws have 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 later on, when, when the Pharisees were trying to talk about a man leaving his wife or giving a bill of divorce, and 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 through some weakness. We're gonna find a way to sin, right? So it was known, right?

So, um, skip down to verse 9 real quick. Let's get 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 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're telling me my wife, they're gonna kill me for you." So Isaac was, had the same thing happen to him. So it says that Isaac told him that it was his, 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, brother, sis. That's your wife, bro." Go ahead. "And Isaac said, Because I said, Lest not die for him, I thought y'all gonna kill me for her." Go ahead. "And Abimelech said, What is this that thou hast done unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain with our wife, and our citizens have brought guiltiness upon us." Wait a minute. What are you? Well, no laws around back then? He said, "Nope. How you should've 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, I mean, 39, verse 9 again. Genesis 39, and verse 9. "Come on. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" He said, "I do this great wickedness, 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 unto 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. Now, I look good in this. Oh, you mean to tell me you don't want that?" You know how women do that? What she was doing to the brother, best of the spirit, every single day. Reed. "That he hearkened not unto her." He didn't listen, though. "To lie by her, shall I buy her, to be with you? 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. Reed.

"And it came to pass about this time, uh-huh, that Joseph went into the house to do his business." Really? "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, leave. Y'all go ahead, leave. I got this. We good. Joseph, you don't worry about it. Y'all go ahead and do this, do that." Reed.

Verse 12. "And she caught him by his garment, and she grabbed his garment." Reed. "Saying, Lie with me." Come on, get this. You know you want this. Left his garment in her hand. He dipped right 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 and 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, hast thou sinned? do so no more: but ask pardon for that former sin." Reed. "Flee from sin." What about whoa? What'd the Bible say? Flee from sin. That's what Joseph did. She had him, and you know, come on, bro. 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 was no ugly woman, you know? She wouldn't. So she probably smelled good, half dressed in a lingerie. This was all set up. This woman set this up. She got a hat did. She had us a makeup bid, her gold on. She expressed praise, smelling good. She knew what she was doing. She knew what she was doing. She set it up. Said, "All y'all servants, leave. Just leave me and Joseph to ourselves." You understand that? That was not done. But see, there wasn't no coincidence. That was done by the sign, right?

So the Bible says, what? Reed again. Verse 2. "Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent." Our brother got on down, he fled from that sin. That's from the face of a serpent. Reed. "But if thou come it's too near, because he knew if he got too near, if he just, if he just would have enticed her, or he would have just entertained her for a split second, for three, 30 more seconds, if he would have entertained her." Reed. "It will bite thee." He knew he was gonna get bitten by her. Reed. "The teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of him." He knew it. He knew that our forefather had enough wisdom to know that. Come on.

Go back to Genesis 39 and verse, uh, what was that? 14, 13? Yes, sir. 13. Genesis 39, and verse 3. Reed. 12 again. 12. "And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me." She said, "Lie with me." "And he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out." And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth. So she saw that he dipped. She was embarrassed. She was embarrassed. Just like your slave masters. And when, 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? That's exactly what she said. She knew that he was going to tell on her. Reed it again. Verse 14. No, verse 13.

"And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, Reed. And was fled forth, and he left." Reed. "That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us." So she said, then she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, "See, here, brought in the Hebrew unto us." Reed. "To mock us." "He came in unto me to lie with me." Now she's straight lying. This woman is lying on the forefather Joseph. That's why the Bible says this. Go to the book of Ecclesiastes 7, 26. Somehow the sisters always get a bad rap, y'all, right? Now, y'all righteous sisters online, we're not talking about y'all. We're talking about our sisters in the world that have that adulterous harlot spirit. We're not talking about your sisters in the truth, because we pray you sisters in the truth ain't like this, right? Go ahead.

"Because that 37 and 26. Go ahead. I find more bitter than death." He said, "I find more bitter than death." Reed. "The woman whose heart is snares and nets." He said, "The woman whose heart is snares and nets." I mean, her mind is fixated on lying, cheating, and getting what she wants, right? Manipulating. She's a manipulative, wicked spirit. And that's what that, what part of her wife had in her. Go ahead. "And her hands as bands." Her hands as bands. "Lie with me." She grabbed the brother. "Lie with me. And if you don't lie with me, I'm gonna lie and tell everybody you raped me." Reed. "Who's so pleased with God? Who's so pleased with the Lord?" Like Joseph did. Reed. "I'll escape from him." Say what? "Shall I escape from her?" That's why my forefather Joseph was able to get up out of there. But either way, he was able to escape from her. Go ahead.

"But the sinner shall be taken by." But the sinner gonna be taken by her. Sirach 25:19. Matter of fact, go to Proverbs chapter 5, verse, uh, 1 real quick. Proverbs 5, verse 1. "The book of Proverbs chapter 5, in verse 1. Reed. My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion." Discernment, good decision-making. Reed. "And that thy lips may keep knowledge: For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb." So, you know, when she was telling, she's like, "Man, you so handsome. He don't do me like you do me. He can't touch me. He can't hold me like you hold me." That's that same thing, you know? She was telling Joseph that. Reed. "And her mouth is smoother than oil." Right? Her mouth is smoother than oil. Makes she trickery. She got trickery in her mouth. She speak lies, evil. Reed. "But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword: Her feet go down to death." If you follow her, you're gonna die, right? "Lest thou should have pondered the path of life." Reed. "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 the 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. Women like that, they tricky, right? Come on. "Thou that thou canst not know." You don't know them. You don't know how she gonna move, you understand? Why the scriptures say flee from sin as from the face of a serpent.

Go back to Genesis 39 and 15. Genesis 39, verse 15. Reed. "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." Lying. Reed. "And she laid up his garment by her until her lord came home." Reed. "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, and 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 kindled. So let's 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 didn't kill some people before. But no 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 is with this brother. Look how you blessing my house. The Lord got to 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." Reed. He didn't try to br, he didn't try to get no understanding. It wasn't none of that. And let's show you that. Go to go to book of Proverbs real quick. Proverbs chapter 6, and let's read verse 23, verse 32. Proverbs 6 and 32. Watch this.

"But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. Reed. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. But 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. Reed. "Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom." So it says, "But jealousy is not is the jealousy of the rage of a man. Therefore he will not spare the day of vengeance." He wasn't really willing to spare Joseph. He threw him straight in prison. Lucky he didn't kill him. Bree. "Neither will he regard any ransom." So it says he would not regard any ransom, and he'll need no money. Ain't nothing that you can give him in that day. You can't talk to him, plead with him, like, "Hey, man, you know, I wouldn't do nothing like that." I always, he ain't trying to hear that. That day, jealousy has now become his rage. So he will not regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though thou give as many gifts. So she knew that he was gonna be pissed off. He wasn't gonna be trying. He won't see red. You're gonna see blood, you understand?

Go back to Genesis 39 and read 19 again. We're almost done. We got four more verses, then we'll answer questions for the next 20 minutes or so. "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 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 shewed him mercy, and gave him favour 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 God his steps the entire way. Greed.

"And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand, 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 them.

So, uh, real quick recap of Genesis chapter 39. Uh, we picking back up from Genesis chapter 37, where he was sold to the Ishmaelites, and the Israelite sold, where he was given to the Ishmaelites, and he was sold from the Ishmaelites to Potiphar. So he came to Potiphar. Before he became a keeper in his house, Joseph wisely, uh, became ruler over his house. And 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 there too, because the Lord was dealing with our forefather Joseph.

All right. So, uh, we got about 20 some minutes left. Um, do anybody have any questions pertaining to the four chapters that we read? Does anybody have any questions pertaining to, excuse me, to the, uh, 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 me know. Anybody have any questions? Feel free to ask. Uh, while we all here, uh, it would be better if the questions pertain to the class or the, the four chapters that we just read. It'll 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 and Simeon. They shall be mine. So Joseph's blessing was split between his two sons, which was, um, 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." 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 upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly: for Manasseh was the firstborn." 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, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." So now Jacob is blessing Ephraim and Manasseh. Reed. "And when Joseph saw that his father laid his hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hands to remove it from me from his head unto Manasseh's head. And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it, he also shall become a people, and 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, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and that's Manasseh." And he said, "Ephraim before."

Vanessa: So, so that's that's. I hope that answers your question. So, like the brother said, that's the so-called Puerto Ricans, Ephraim, and the so-called Cubans, today Ephraim and Manasseh. So that's, uh, because the sister had a question again. The sister said, uh, what tribe is Joseph today? Joseph's tribe is split between those two, okay? Joseph's scribe 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? Uh, real quick, Ham. Yeah, yeah, I got, I got in the sauna from Bible Dictionary, uh, and they get Genesis 2 and 7. Yeah, that's not a bad question. That's not a bad question because we did read earlier where Esau had sex with a Hamitic 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 would be very light. And say that, and that child would be Edomite. Boy, say that. Edomite boy has sex with a white woman, that next generation, the child ain't gonna look nothing like us. That child gonna be blonde hair, blue eyes, possibly look straight like an Edomite. All right.

When we looking at Ham, okay? Yeah, here it is. Here's the color of Ham, sister. The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the flood, and one of eight persons to live through the flood. 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, not the Negro, not the Negroes, though we dark too, we from Shem, though, reap. But the Egyptians, the Egyptians, Ethiopia, Ethiopians, Libyans, the Libyans, and the Canaanites, and the Canaanites. These are all the tribes that came from Ham. These are four sons. Now go to Genesis 2 and 7. Did you read that yet? Not yet. Read that for me. Genesis chapter 2 and verse 7. Watch this. "The Lord God formed a 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 and verse 1. Genesis chapter 5 and verse 1. Read. "This is the book of the generations of Adam." Uh-huh. "In 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, uh, 20. Let me just get out of verse 30. "And he called his name Noah, saying, 'He shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.'" So he read and Lament lived after he began 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. All right, sister.

So the queso Noah wanna know his sons was Ham. And Ham's son was Canaan. So all this is the lineage of blacks. Didn't know about everybody on the earth at that time was black. I hope that makes sense. This, uh, light with the 11 sons and the sun and the moon and Joseph's dream. I'm trying to figure out what the sister was saying about that. Uh, sister Tanira Tumbling, I don't know what you mean by that question. You can re-ask us. This, she said, so was the sons of, so she said, 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 12 sons. That's going from Judah all the way down to Naphtali. Yes.

So were the twins that Judah had Tamar for his other two sons? I don't know exactly. Uh, Dillian Crouch, I don't know exactly. I just know that she had him. You understand? I just know that she had him through, uh, Judah. I don't know if that was to replace his son. I don't see where it says that in the description, 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, uh, give me a little bit more clarity to what you're asking, sis. I'll pray.

So that Tamar and her child of Jude, child of Judah, go into Egypt? I'm not sure. Let's go back and read it. Maybe we can get some understanding. Said, did she go into Egypt? It don't say. You know, it doesn't say, sis. Uh, that would have been later on in time, though. Remember, that would have been later on in time. They didn't go. Remember, Joseph had been gone for years, right? Uh, 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, uh, give me a second. I'm gonna find. How do 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, uh, working for Pharaoh. When he went into, uh, trying to pass Pharaoh, well, against the woman. Y'all, give me a second. I remember reading it, but I came in. Why I read it? Chapter 4. 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. When we read that, he was 17 years old at that time. So 13 years had passed, right? And I don't know if it 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 she's alive. I don't know. I don't know.

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 up and give you a direct definition of it, but it's a lesser wife. It's not a full, all-out wife. Uh, says concubine: "A woman lawfully united in marriage to a man in relation, in relation inferior to that of a regular wife." So she is, she is lawfully married to the man, but she's not the main wife. She's an inferior or lesser than the main wife, if that makes sense.

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 will go over this, but Genesis 46 and verse 33. Genesis 46 and "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 hath 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 Egyptians." So the reason I say every shepherd's abomination to the Egyptians is because during the time of a, a dynasty called the Hyksos. You heard of the Hyksos dynasty? You read about that in Babylon and Timbuktu? It got has a little information about it. Uh, they were supposedly shepherds. So shepherds were an abomination to the, to the, uh, the Egyptians. 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 brothers and his family to be able to do, be able to be away from.

The other book that we have, this is the Compact Zone of Him Bible Dictionary. If you're new in the truth, you should definitely get one of these. Here's clear up some definitions for you. I'm not sure what happened to the, not sure what happened to the, what's the names, uh, class. I mean, okay, somebody said Arabs. So how they became on, so that's how they became on the chart? Yes, because they are of the 12 tribes. Yes, that lineage was given.

Why couldn't Jacob see that his sons were lying about Joseph? It was other Lord says it was of the Lord. It's always of the Lord. Get that real quick. Genesis 15:20. It was out of the Lord. 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, and hear this, it's cold in 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 where they were when he got to the man. The man said, he said, "Who are you looking for?" "I'm looking for my brother." "What are they?" "Hey, I heard him say he's going to Dothan." You understand? So he didn't know exactly where he was going, right? Read that Genesis chapter 50 and verse 20. So the son said, "Why couldn't Jacob see this that his sons were lying about Joseph?" Here's why: "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it 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, but have a place to eat, then the whole nation of Israel would have died in the famine in Canaan. So that's the reason why, sis.

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 in Northern Kingdom. We come from the lineage of Adam. That's right. Promise through Adam. That's right. Redemption. Revelation 12 and 2. With the twelve stars and the sun and the moon, is the different meaning? Yes. In Genesis 37, read Genesis 37 and 10 again, 9-10 again. Genesis 37, verse 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 eleven stars made obeisance to me." 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? So I and thy mother and our 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? And that's why he said it. But in Revelation 12 and 1 and 2, it's going into sun and moon being the law. Just, it's talking about lights, right? I mean, the laws and commandments, okay? Or wisdom and understanding.

The name Hezekiah. Hezekiah. 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, Hezekiah. I don't know what that means. I'm sorry. Evil came in the land after Joseph passed. That's right. I always had a fine. I'm happy with this. Okay. I pray. No, it's the forefather Joseph who explained the dreams of Pharaoh, right? Is telling, is telling the spirit of evil men and women. Wow. We could second and third wife like a spirit man. Somehow this thing got all jumbled up. I was wondering because I know that the people lived way longer. That's right. So that's how to try Minecraft. That's right. Excellent class. Must re-watch to pick up all those golden nuggets. Don't read it. Also, good job, bro. Can you write the name in the line? Uh, because somebody write that in the line. The son of a Bible Dictionary. He said, "What happened to that woman that had sex with her father-in-law?" The Harlem twins, and did they have part in the blessing of Israel? They were just sons of Judah, okay? So the Lord's, when the Lord blessed the 12, so when Jacob blessed the sons of Judah, his, his son, his 12 sons, he gave them all blessings as the sons, not their sons upon them. So that blessing was for the tribes, if that makes sense.

Jacob was not slow. He had a feeling. Yeah. What was the priest? What was this priest? What was the scripture? This scripture was for? I'm not sure. I'm sorry. So if Jacob's sons, the 12 tribes, all of them were different nationalities? No, we all, we were the 12 different tribes, but we all one nation, the nation of Israel, okay? So you have the nation of Israel, and you have tribes within the nation, just like all [ __ ] are [ __ ], but you got, uh, timing, you had, uh, Eleazar's sons, you had Amalek, you had all these different tribes within it, okay? I hope to answer your question. Faith Marie, you hope to answer your questions. Anybody else have any more questions before we shut it down? You know, the mighty Deacon, y'all coming up next. What did Bishop mean when someone seen something in heaven that would have what made our walk easier? I'm not sure, brother. I don't know what class they were for. That was a, I know it's off topic, but what is, what is you supposed to eat on Passover? Read Exodus chapter 12. Sister, sister Denise, read Exodus chapter 12, and it'll give you the menu that we're supposed to eat. Now, I know you got brothers out here saying now that you can eat fried chicken and, uh, uh, grits and dressing, but the Bible doesn't say that. Read Exodus chapter 12. All praises.

Jacob's sons with two of the twelve tribes. Jacob's son, you mean maybe me and Joseph? I'm not sure. No, they are the same people. The Israelites they take today. Brother Kyle, I operate to the Most High for your zeal, bro. But 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?

It's almost how you may not have known that, but I'm an officer, not a captain. All praises. Keep reading the book of Leviticus, and 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, um, what we eat on the Passover. All praise. No promises. God not dealing with the tribe of Dan because of idolatry. Yes, well, I was just telling her, that's the first king 12.

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 that question that they may have pertaining to those chapters, and then, um, we'll shut it down. Praise to the Most High. Anybody else got any more questions? Any more questions pertaining to the class, Genesis 46, excuse me, 36-39? 36-39. Any questions pertaining to these chapters? All right. All praises. Do like brothers and sisters don't have any more questions. I'll pray to the Most High. Well, Lord will, y'all have a blessed Sabbath tomorrow.

You'll see every single chapter from Genesis chapter one all the way to what we just finished in chapter 39. Uh, uh, Solomon said, "What happened to Judah when he had twins by the sister that he was going to give to his younger son?" So what happened to Judah? Uh, Judah came, went down into Egypt, and died there. When you read Exodus chapter, let's say, chapter one, read that real quick. Exodus chapter one, verse one.

Keep the commandments, right? Read in 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 and his household came with Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun, and Benjamin; Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher: And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy 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 praise. Any more questions? Any more questions? I'm sending a message about my questions. 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?
