Podcast appearances and mentions of israel jacob

Genesis 48:14 records that Israel (Jacob) crossed his hands when he blessed Ephraim and Manasseh, blessing the younger over the older. Sometimes God directs our lives in a different way than we think, but if we always follow God's directions, our lives will be as God directs, not as we direct. Albert Sims wrote the public domain song, The Unseen Hand, in 1918 when he was 34 years old. Albert Sims was licensed to preach the gospel in 1925 at the age of 41 years old. He died in 1969 at the age of 85. In the song, Albert Sims speaks about how God has his hand on him, leading him, guiding him, and assuring him that as he lives in this troubled world, God will continue to lead him all the way to heaven's door, then he will be led through heaven's door into eternity. God will also lead us the same way he led thousands of Old Testament and New Testament believers through this evil land, causing us to finally rest eternally with him.

Joshua BoydGenesis 5:3 – Adam became the father of a son, Seth, who was "just like him, in his very image."Main IdeaFatherhood is not simply a consequence of having children—it is a calling from God.Just as mothers reflect God's nurturing nature, fathers reflect God's nature as an initiator. God has designed fathers to plant seeds, start things, and help shape the next generation.Lessons from the First Father Adam became a father after sin entered the world.  Like every father since, Adam was imperfect.  Cain and Abel remind us that no parent gets everything right.  God does not require perfection; He calls fathers to reflect His image and remain faithful. The Purpose of a FatherThroughout Scripture, the word "father" often refers to an initiator or founder: Abraham is called the father of faith.  Israel (Jacob) became the father of a nation.  Fathers are called to begin, plant, and initiate. A father's role is to plant seeds—both natural and spiritual.The Power of InitiationGenesis 4:26 tells us that during the days of Seth and Enosh, people began to worship the Lord by name.Someone initiated a return to worship.The message suggests that Seth reflected Adam's image because Adam had returned to reflecting God's image. When fathers keep their eyes on the Heavenly Father, they influence generations that follow.A Word to Fathers You don't have to be perfect.  You can start planting new seeds today.  You can initiate forgiveness, faith, worship, encouragement, and purpose in your family.  What you model is often caught by your children more than it is taught. Speaking Life into the Next GenerationFathers plant seeds through: Encouragement  Confidence  Faith-filled words  Godly example  Intentional leadership Children need confidence, but they must also learn where their strength comes from—God.Working TogetherGod designed fathers and mothers with complementary purposes: Fathers initiate and plant.  Mothers nurture and help things grow.  Together they create an environment where God can bring increase. Beyond ParentingThis message applies to everyone.Every believer has: A God-given purpose  A calling  An anointing to fulfill that calling When we embrace God's purpose, we experience greater fruitfulness, effectiveness, and impact.TakeawayFatherhood is a calling to reflect the Heavenly Father, initiate what is good, and plant seeds that will impact future generations.As we follow Christ, our families, churches, workplaces, and communities benefit from the seeds we intentionally sow today.

Moses is the original Christian nationalist.   Moses was called to set up an explicitly Christian nation/state. Moses went to Egypt in order to rescue his kin — his blood relatives (BLOOD)— from domination and slavery by a pagan society.   He led them to Canaan's land (the cursed son of Ham were the “original” settlers). They invaded that land, killed the Canaanites (specific ethnos that were not the ethnos of Israel/Jacob). The Law (FAITH) of that land was the Ten Commandments. They had a contiguous geographic area. They spoke the same language and shared the same ancestors, customs, morals, and history. Let no one deceive you, all the Patriarchs and Prophets were Christians — they saw, heard and worshipped Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ  was with the Father from the very beginning (and no man except Jesus Christ has seen the Father) Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com

Bishop Riggen teaches from Hebrews 6:1-2, focusing on the doctrine of laying on of hands as one of the foundational principles of Christ. He stresses that this doctrine, often neglected, is as essential as repentance, faith, baptism, resurrection, and eternal judgment. The message emphasizes the biblical significance of symbols, illustrating from Numbers 20 how Moses was severely punished for striking the rock instead of speaking to it because the rock represented Christ, who was smitten once. Similarly, the Lord's Supper and hair covering are symbols God honors. Bishop Riggen traces the first mention of laying on of hands in Genesis 48, where Israel (Jacob) knowingly placed his right hand on the younger son Ephraim, transferring a blessing and authority. In Numbers 27, Moses laid hands on Joshua, transferring honor and wisdom, making Joshua full of the spirit of wisdom. Leviticus 4 shows the guilty laying hands on the sacrificial bull, transferring sin to the animal and receiving its innocence. Bishop Riggen argues that the New Testament practice of laying on hands is rooted in this Old Testament principle of transference—something is imparted from the one laying hands to the recipient. He declares that if the congregation grasps this truth, it will revolutionize their faith, opening a realm of the miraculous. Believers must approach prayer with expectation, believing that when hands are laid on them, they receive something from God.

Messianic Torah Portion Vayechi (and he lived) This Torah portion wraps up the book of Genesis with the death of Israel/Jacob (the person) and the end of Joseph's life. This Torah portion contains big clues that salvation has always been available to both those of the nation of Israel and those of the nations. Specifically, Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh were mixed race, with their mother being Potifera, the daughter of an Egyptian priest. Jacob was embalmed as a Pharaoh while buried in the promised land, which also gives a hint to the future and how we live in Babylon today, but will ultimately be joined to Messiah in the true Israel.

AN IMPORTANT LESSON SHOWING THE VERACITY OF GOD'S WORD   Abram arrives at Shechem (lesson 26) in 2091 B.C.  Really?  Who says?  Time goes on and then we read in Exod. 12:40 that the sons of Israel (Jacob) lived in Egypt 430 years till they left with Moses.   Where does that number come from?  Why doesn't anyone explain it?  Also it is taught to us that the early date of the Exodus was 1446 B.C. and no one ever justifies this date.  It is just stated.  Why won't anyone help us understand that this date of 1446 B.C. is supported by REAL archaeology and not someone's opinion or speculation.  Well, I will.  This lesson is to show that the early date of the Exodus, 1446 B.C. is very likely considering the archaeology supporting it and the study of the events in their historical context.   I mentioned I will provide a number of links to resources to help you study further.  These links and resources are shown below.

Just because someone says "I'm a Jew," does not mean they are the biological offspring of Israel/Jacob. Fritz Berggren, PhD bloodandfaith.com  

God used Joseph to execute integral parts of his much greater plan for humanity. And it was during the times of waiting and holding and longing for a change that he prepared Joseph to do the important work he had ahead. Joseph chose to do what he could, where he could, while he waited to see what God had for him next. He made good use of the time in between.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Working While We Wait  by Deidre Braley  Genesis 39:22-23: And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it. The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph's charge, because the Lord was with him.  I have been attached to my phone for the last ten days, refreshing my email at consistent intervals between all my daily tasks. Unload the dishwasher—check my email. Walk the dog—check my email. Kiss the kids goodnight—check my email. I'm in the querying process, which for a writer means the period of time when you send your heart and soul and life's work into the world and then wait to see whether anyone cares or if you should go back to your day job.  When I left my career two years ago, I had my eyes set on one goal: to publish a book. I thought by now I'd be well on my way, would have something to show. But it turns out there have been a lot of slow-moving parts, like the gears on a clock moving at half-speed. How infuriating! I've been waiting for this email to let me know whether it's time, finally time, to do the work I've been wanting to do for so long now.  This holding pattern is nothing compared to what Joseph experienced, though. The son of Israel (Jacob), Joseph was his father's favorite. As if it wasn't already enough that his dad had given him a beautifully colored cloak, Joseph also started having dreams that his brothers and family would one day bow down before him. Ouch. His brothers decided to kill him.  At the last minute, his brother Reuben stepped in with an alternate plan to try to spare his life—they'd just throw him in a pit and leave him. While Reuben was away, however, the brothers decided they might as well make some money from the whole ordeal, and sold Joseph to some Ishmaelites on their way to Egypt, instead.  This could read as an incredibly cruel and frustrating tale—one in which a promising young man's life is needlessly upended. Being sold into slavery in a foreign land sounds like the kind of holding pattern you don't escape from. But Scripture tells us otherwise. “The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master,” Genesis 39:2 says. In fact, Joseph was so respected and things went so well under his care that his master, Potiphar, put him in charge of everything he had.  Later, when Potiphar's wife wrongfully accuses Joseph of indecency, he is thrown into another holding pattern: this time, a jail cell. But just as he did after being sold to Potiphar, Joseph (with God's help) finds favor with the keeper of the prison, who puts him in charge over everything there. And Genesis 39:23 tells us, “...whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed.”  Joseph is the embodiment of the old adage, “Bloom where you are planted.” It's probably safe to assume that Joseph didn't want to be sold to an Egyptian master, and would have preferred to spend that time otherwise. And it's probably even safer to suggest he didn't want to spend years of his life in a jail cell for a crime he didn't commit. But what stands out about Joseph's story is the way he used the time that others may consider ‘wasted.' Rather than mope and wallow or wait for it to be over so he could just get on with his life, Joseph walked closely with God and worked at whatever was put before him with integrity and wisdom. It was his time served in Potiphar's house and the jail cell that prepared him (though somewhat unconventionally) to eventually serve Pharoah as governor of all the land of Egypt.  God used Joseph to execute integral parts of his much greater plan for humanity. And it was during the times of waiting and holding and longing for a change that he prepared Joseph to do the important work he had ahead. Joseph chose to do what he could, where he could, while he waited to see what God had for him next. He made good use of the time in between.  When we find ourselves in our own holding patterns, we can look at how God was with Joseph in the waiting and be encouraged. Yes, it might be taking longer than we'd like and no, we might not understand how it's going to result in anything of value, but our job isn't to worry about all that. Our job is to put our hand to what's before us with integrity and to walk with God while we do it.  Whether we're longing for career-changing news or freedom from existing commitments or just for something fresh and exciting to happen in our lives, today let's take a page from Joseph's book and assess what we can do with where we are right now, at this very point in our lives. We might be surprised to see how God can use that humble obedience.  Intersecting Faith & Life  What areas of your life feel like holding patterns (or jail cells!) right now? Consider bringing them before the Lord and asking him:  How can I use this time in a way that would be fruitful? What would it look like to walk with you and work with integrity in this area?● Will you please give me endurance to stay faithful in this season of waiting?● Would you give me a glimpse of how you might use this work as part of your granderplan for my life and the lives of others?

Partiendo de la conformación de este pueblo con el llamado de Jacob en la antigüedad hasta la reunión de todos sus elegidos esparcidos entre las naciones en los últimos tiempos, esta serie relata el peregrinaje de este linaje escogido a lo largo de los siglos, sin nunca perder de vista su propósito y su misión en esta tierra.

1 Chronicles - Genealogy from Adam, Descendants of Abraham, Genealogy: Twelve Sons of Israel (Jacob), Genealogy of David. 1 Corinthians - Lawsuits Discouraged, The Body Is The Lord's.

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Let me ask you to do a little math… Everyone divide 1 by 3. What's the answer? .3 repeating, right? Now, what's .3 repeating times 3? It's not 1! It's .9 repeating. Somewhere we lose .1 repeating… [mind blown]. Math doesn't work! this is why bridges fall down eventually! Lol… Have you ever discovered that something you believed your whole life was wrong? like Math… ;) I know you've felt this before -I've had friends who found out the people they thought were their birth parents had adopted them -I've seen families torn apart finding out that the person who was supposed to be faithful had a secret life It's almost never good when you discover that what you've believed was wrong… Today, I want to take you into a struggle I had with this, and then walk you through my study in the story of God to find a way out of it.. To start, we have to go back into the story of God back to a prophet Isaiah. When we covered Isaiah, I mostly told you about how his prophecy impacted me and brought me back to God… Isaiah was prophesying right before the fall of the Southern Kingdom into the hands of the Babylonians… b One of the key themes in Isaiah is what scholars have called the “Servant Songs” (Song 1 - 42:1-4; Song 2 - 49:1-6; Song 3 - 50:4-9; and Song 4 - 52:13-53:12.) b Christians say the Suffering servant in Isaiah is Jesus… If you've been a Christian for a long time, you've probably heard a sermon on some of these verses about Jesus… Except, the Suffering Servant isn't a person, it's the nation of Israel… ILLUSTRATION: Heard Rabbi's say this and thought they couldn't be right, I've read these passages over and over again, listened to pastors preach on it and never heard one of them once say that it's not referring to Jesus but Israel. The problem is, their right - Isaiah clearly identifies the suffering servant as Israel. I'm not going to read these all, but I will show you quickly on the screen that this is the case… [Anthony, can you get these references all on one screen] Isaiah 41:8-9 (NIV):"But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen…I said, ‘You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you." Isaiah 44:1-2 (NIV):"But now listen, Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I have chosen…” Isaiah 44:21 (NIV):"Remember these things, Jacob, for you, Israel, are my servant. I have made you, you are my servant…” Isaiah 45:4 (NIV):"For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen…” Isaiah 48:20 (NIV):“…'The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob.'" Isaiah 49:3 (NIV):"He said to me, 'You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.'" Here's the problem… The prophecies about the suffering servant are some of the clearest prophecies of what Jesus would do & He fulfills them… b If the prophecies are talking about Israel (Jacob) and not Jesus then what do we do? Look, let me set this straight - even if these prophecies were not directly about Jesus, it would be ok, wouldn't be the end of faith in Him, but would be difficult… Let me read something to you that on first blush will seem innocuous: John 15:1-4 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. b Jesus says, “I am the true vine" b That's a weird thing to say, why does He say it that way? He could have just said “I am the vine” and not have to qualify His metaphor… To answer, we have to go back to the OT and to Isaiah… Isaiah 5:7 7 The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress. Or Jeremiah 2:21 [God speaking of Israel] I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine? b In the Old Testament Israel was called “the vine” and now Jesus is saying, “I am the True Vine…” b Jesus is saying He is replacing Israel as the vine… b But what about Israel is He replacing? We've been in the story of God for a long time now, and have covered a lot of ground… Do you remember the promise that God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? "through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed" b Israel was meant to be a blessing that would bring relationship with God back to all nations… and they failed… -Instead in the Story of God, we see them bringing division, war, pain, selfishness, and idolatry (with little moments of blessing) It's not their fault, not sure any group of people could do it, I actually think that was God's point, to show us “this” had to be the way… Jesus is the new Israel - He comes to redo their story and become the blessing… b Let me show you… Jesus will start His ministry by being baptized… he even says… Matthew 3:15 15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this tho fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. b John's baptism was a baptism for forgiveness of sin and repentance (Mark 1:4). Jesus is being baptized not for sin and repentance, but because Israel began in a baptism of the red sea… b Jesus gets baptized, immediately goes into the desert and is tempted by the devil for 40 days (1 day for each year the Israelites were in the desert). b I believe the righteousness He's fulfilling is redoing Israel's story… He is redeeming their failure to follow God b As a matter of fact, Jesus does a TON of things Israel does or that happen in Israel's History… [Anthony, I will not read all this - will you put a caption for people to take a picture and schedule to post it on FB on Sunday at 1pm as well - I'll reference a few things, but that's it] Jesus does this over and over again: Baptism > Red Sea Crossing Temptation in Desert - Grumbling and abandoning the worship of Yahweh Water to wine > Moses will bring water from a rock Jesus multiplies loaves > Moses gives manna in the desert Jesus is the vine > Israel is the vine Jesus walked on water > Elisha made an axe head float Jesus fed multitudes (both Jews - 5k, and Gentiles - 4k) > Elisha fed 100 (2 Kings 4:42-44) Jesus raises woman's son to life, Jairus' daughter, & Lazarus > Elisha raises Shunammite woman's son Jesus came to serve not be served > Rehoboam - "you'll be my slaves" 12 Disciples > 12 Tribes Jesus heals lepers > Elisha healed Naaman of leprosy Jesus is in a turbulent sea following God's mission asleep in a boat, stands up and rebukes the storm > Jonah in a boat running from God's mission, asleep in the boat, asks to be tossed into the sea Jesus blood and body take becomes the new passover, quotes Moses "this is the blood of the covenant", Jesus will rescue us from the authority we gave over to the enemy "the god of this world" > Passover is given to the Jews as rescue from slavery Jesus goes up on a mountain, his face and clothes become brilliantly white, like light > Moses goes up to meet with God and get the 10 commandments and his face glows Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a Donkey > Solomon rode a donkey to be coronated King b What does all this mean? It means that when we read Isaiah, we are reading a prophecy written hundreds of years before Jesus came into the world that describes Jesus perfectly… b Jesus came to become the blessing to the whole world… A blessing to you… CLOSING: Isaiah 53 I want to close by reading Isaiah 53 to you… Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. 4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8 By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b] 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. 11 After he has suffered, he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e]; by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g] and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[h] because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 17 ALL ISRAEL BEFORE JOSEPH 144,000 BEFORE JESUS Joseph - the prototype of Jesus   This can't be!  No way!  Is there a possible connection in the saga of Joseph where his father Jacob comes to Egypt - all Israel before Joseph - and the events in Revelation 7?  Could be?  Just as "all" Israel (Jacob's name) and his entire family is delivered from the terrible 7 years of famine) so too will ALL Israel be delivered and saved in the days of the return of Messiah.  The saga of Joseph is so timely and has so much for us today in the 21st century. In this podcast, as in part 1, I provide four valuable links to study the amazing connections between Joseph and Jesus. The first is a short video that is a great introduction to this topic.  Here's the link ...  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKadh0fVCo The second resource is an article at the excellent website "Hebrew4Christians."  The article goes deeper into the connections between Joseph and Jesus providing over 60 indisputable connections solidly based upon scripture and not opinion or speculation.  Here's link to the article ...    https://hebrew4christians.com/Articles/Mashiach_ben_Yosef/mashiach_ben_yosef.html A third resource you must have access to is a scholarly paper written by my graduate studies advisor, Dr. Ron Mosely.   In his paper Dr. Mosely discusses Joseph as a prototype of the the suffering Messiah just like David is a prototype of the conquering Messiah - https://www.academia.edu/3796976/Twice_Rejected_Mashiach_Ben_Joseph The final link is to Netivyah (The Way of the Lord) ministries in Jerusalem.  This is a Messianic Jewish ministry founded by Joseph Shulam, an amazing Jewish scholar who helps us reconnect to our Jewish roots of our faith.  This link is to a book written by one of their resident scholars, Elhanan ben Avraham, "Moshiach ben Yosef (Messiah the Son Of Joseph)".  I highly recommend you get this book and all the books you can buy from this ministry - https://netivyah.org/product/mashiach-ben-yoseph/ Another thing we studied in part 1 and it carries over into this podcast is what is a disciple?  A disciple in Jesus' day is one who follows a rabbi and wants more than anything else to be just like the rabbi; a disciple wants to live a life so that they are a reflection of their rabbi.  Here's the links I promised that are the vidcasts (videos) I did on the topic of Disciples and Apostles.  The video is in two parts. Part1 - Disciples and Apostles - https://lightofmenorah.podbean./e/truth-nugget-28-lesson-2-part-1-disciples-and-apostles/ Part2 - Disciples and Apostles - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/truth-nugget-28-lesson-2-part-2-disciples-and-apostles/ Here's a link to an excellent article on what a disciple was in the 1st century by Ray Vander Laan - https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/rabbi-and-talmidim Ray has also done audio sessions on the concept of disciples of a rabbi in Jesus' day.  I will link you to the audio library and it is easy to slide down to the studies regarding disciples.  Check out the "Age of a Disciple" and the sessions entitled "Disciples Parts 1, 2, and 3" and the audio sessions "The Dust of the Rabbi." Here's the link - https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/category/Audio In this podcast I again mention that Bible study is a requirement for us as true followers of Jesus.  Matter of fact there is a renowned Messianic Gentile scholar, Dwight Pryor, who suggests that a church must provide Bible study and classes in order to obey Jesus to make disciples. As one studies what it really means to be a disciple of our rabbi, our Lord and Savior, our Yeshua, we find that as our "rabbi" was sent to teach so too His disciples are called to be sent by Him to teach.  But, to teach means we need to learn and thus we need to do Bible study.  That's for all believers in the church and just a select few. What is interesting, for those of us focused on the Jewish roots of our faith and our Hebrew heritage, is that the study of the Bible in Jesus' day was considered the highest form of worship!  Not prayer.  Not speaking in tongues.  Not singing and music.  No.  None of these.  The study of God's word by the young and the old in Jesus' day was considered at the top of the list for true followers of the Lord.  Below are two links to two excellent articles discussing this.  The first is written by Dwight Pryor - a highly credible and well known Gentile Messianic Christian Bible scholar and the second is written by Professor WA Liebenberg, a Messianic Jewish scholar at the Hebraic Roots Teaching Institute in Pretoria South Africa.  These are a must read to understand that to be true disciples of Adonai yeshua requires Bible study and not just Bible reading.  Check them out at these links ... Dwight Pryor's article - https://www.scribd.com/document/52577969/The-Highest-Form-of-Worship WA Liebenberg's article - https://se1490ea64a00a596.jimcontent.com/download/version/1685034709/module/12434580160/name/The%20Highest%20Form%20of%20Worship%20Is%20Studying%20The%20Word.pdf As we studied we encountered the contradiction between Gen. 46:27 where it says 70 came to Egypt and in Acts 7:14 it says 75.  I mentioned I would provide you with the text of the Septuagint for Genesis 46 to show it was changed!  The rabbis changed it.  Shown below is Genesis 46 of the Septuagint. Finally, I mentioned the links to study THE JEWISH RAPTURE.  These are videos of my personal study of the rapture and how I found it to be already in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament.  It is a totally Jewish concept and since we are "grafted in" as joint heirs with Israel it includes all of us as disciples of Adonai Yeshua.  Here's the link to the videos.

Jacob, the patriarch who's name becomes Israel, has a history of not being fully obedient and running a very dysfunctional family. In this episode of Bible Backdrop, we see Jacob leave Laban, wrestle with God, reunite with Esau, not follow God's directions and then have his son's slaughter a Canaanite city. Jacob's story is one of constant failure, grace, and reconciliation. His story is both a warning and a beacon of hope for us. If you are enjoying Bible Backdrop, please leave a 5 star rating and review.

In this podcast I overviewed the amazing dating of the Hebrew Bible by the great scholar Edwin Thiele.  I mentioned in the podcast that how did I come up with the date of 1916 B.C. for the year Joseph entered Egypt at age 17.  So, as promised, this rest of this article is to give more detail on Edwin Thiele's work and how we get to these dates.  Again, this is not something I came up with.  I don't teach my opinion or my speculations as fact.    I have studied the great scholar Edwin Thiele's work on the dating in 1 Kings 6:1 …   Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel (Jacob's other name) came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD Edwin Thiele's work and research is documented in his book, “The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings.” He shows that the 4th year of Solomon's reign is 966 B.C. which means the Hebrews left Egypt in 1446 B.C. (we get this by adding 966 and 480 or 966+480 = 1446 B.C. since we are going back in time).  But, how did Edwin Thiele come up with this date?  You'll hear many us this date but they will NOT know the source.  They will not be able to give you the historical research to show where this date came from its total reliability.  However, in Edwin's book this is shown.  Thiele is the one who gave us this date of 966 B.C.  Let's go see what Thiele discovered. Thiele was studying the ancient king lists of the ancient Assyrians.  In these lists, one called the Eponym Canon, references a solar eclipse in the reign of Assur-dan III in the month of Simanu.  Astronomers today easily found the date of this astronomical event as June 15, 763 B.C.  The Assyrians used this solar eclipse to give dates of the reigns of their kings dating from 892 to 648 B.C.  These king lists developed by the ancient Assyrians became their calendar.  Thiele saw that this seemed to be an accurate calendar and could be used to understand dates of events in other cultures and among other ancient peoples like the Hebrews in Israel.  But, was the Assyrian “calendar” correct?  Was it accurate?  Thiele needed to find another “calendar” that would support the dating in the Assyrian calendar. Thiele discovered another ancient writing, the CANON OF PTOLEMY, a Greek astronomer 70-161 A.D.  His writings relate to Middle Eastern history and include a very interesting event; it was a lunar eclipse that happened on March 19, 721 B.C. which was an easy date for our contemporary astronomers to determine.  This lunar eclipse and the dating used from this event in the Canon of Ptolemy result in another “calendar” if you will.  When one matches the Canon of Ptolemy with the Assyrian “calendar” one verifies the accuracy of the other.  Thiele discovered two amazing documents with two amazing astronomical events that resulted in precise dating of key events and reigns of kings in ancient time.  So, how does this help us in Bible dating? Since the Assyrian king list and its dates are now found by archaeology to be accurate we now know the exact dates of the reign of Shalmaneser III.  He reigned from 859-824 B.C.  Two of these years are critical for us.  The 6th year of Shalmaneser's reign and the 18th year.  First, let's focus on the 6th year of his reign. A tall rock with ancient writing was discovered in Turkey in 1851.  It is called the Kurkh Stele (image is public domain accessed at Wikimedia).  On this stele Shalmaneser write about the battle of Qarqar.  This battle occurred in the 6th year of his reign which now has easily been determined from the Assyrian king list as 853 B.C.  What is so awesome is on the stele the Assyrian king gives names of the kings he fought against in the battle.  Ready for this?  Here's our connected to the Bible.  Shalmaneser fought against Ahab who was married to Jezebel.  The Bible says that Ahab ruled for 22 years as we read in 1 Kings 16:29 … Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. So, the next question is of the 22 years of Ahab's reign, when did he fight in the battle of Qarqar?  On top of that when did Ahab die?  If we knew that then we'd know then Ahab started to rule as king of Israel, the northern 10 tribes.  In the year 1846 another amazing stone was discovered.  It is now known as the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III (image is public domain accessed at Wikimedia).  On this stone pillar there is an amazing picture; the picture and description is of king Jehu kneeling and paying tribute to the Assyrian king, Shalmaneser III.  Jehu became the king in Israel 12 years after Ahad died.  Just consider 2Ki 10:35-36 … And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place. Now the time which Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years. Jehu reigned as king for 28 years.  On the Black Obelisk Assyrian ancient records state that it was the 18th year of Shalmaneser III when Jehu paid homage to Shalmaneser.  But, the 18th year of Shalmaneser's reign from the ancient Assyrian king's list is 841 B.C.  But, Ahab fought the battle of Qarqar in 853 B.C. as we saw on the Kurkh Stele.  Subtracting 853 and 841 is 853-841=12.  There were 12 years between the battle of Qarqar and when Jehu offered tribute to Shalmaneser.  The Bible helps us with those 12 years.  First we read in 2 Kings 8:25-26 that Ahaziah the son of Ahab became king after Ahab and was king for one year.  Then in 2 Kngs 1:17 and 3:1 we find that Jehoram, the son of Ahab and Ahaziah's brother became king when Ahaziah died and was king for 12 years.  Thiele also discovered that the first year of Jehoram's reign was what is called an accession year.  He officially became king after the accession year so only served for 11 years.  So, let's put this all together.  In 841 B.C. Jehu offers tribute to Shalmaneser III as we just saw.  841 B.C. is 12 years after the battle of Qarqar in 853 B.C. in which Ahab fought.  But, Ahab is killed in another battle as one can read in 1 Kings 22:29-40.  And in the 12 years after Ahab's death his son Ahaziah reigns for 1 year and then his other son Jehoram reigns for 11 years (we're not counting the accession year).  But, Jehu becomes king after Jehoram. We know the year.  It is 12 years after the battle of Qarqar of 841 B.C.  Which means Ahab dies in 853 B.C. in the same year as the battle of Qarqar and shortly thereafter.  This is huge!!  We now have the date of Ahab's death.  Why is this so important? From this date of 853 B.C. based upon real archaeology and history and also supported by the Bible, we can now go backwards in time to Solomon.  For example, Ahab dies in 853 B.C. but reigned for 22 years.  Ahab's reign then starts in 874 B.C. when his dad, Omri dies.  But Omri was king for 12 years as we read in 1 Kings 16:23.  We go back and through other connections between the kings of Judah and the kings of Israel we come to the year when Solomon became king.  Solomon became king in 970 B.C.  Now we can take this to the verse that we first considered 1 Kings 6:1 … Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel (Jacob's other name) came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign (966 B.C.) over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD If the 4th year of Solomon's reign is 966 B.C. then 480 years prior to this the sons of Jacob (Israel) left Egypt.  Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt in 1446 B.C. that we get by adding 966+480=1446 B.C.  From the Assyrian King list that Thiele discovered we now have the precise year of the Exodus.  Once we have this date things get very interesting very fast. As an “fyi” you can study this in more depth at the following links.  These are scholarly sites that help us understand the amazing and awesome work of Edwin Thiele to gives us the dating in the Bible.  Here's the links to check out … Article 1 – great extensive summary of Thiele's work https://www.andrews.edu/library/car/cardigital/Periodicals/AUSS/1996-2/1996-2-12.pdf Article 2 – a second awesome scholarly article on the exactness of Thiele's Bible chronology and its almost universal acceptance https://digitalcommons.andrews.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1497&context=auss Let's continue and take these dates into the events of Exodus and the events in the life of Joseph.  Jacob is Israel in the phrase "the sons of Israel" so this can be understood to mean that the sons of Jacob left Egypt in 1446 B.C. and in Exo. 12:4-41 … Now the time that the sons of Israel (Jacob) lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt This might be understood that Jacob (Israel) entered Egypt 430 years prior or in 1876 B.C.  All this from the dates Thiele came up with for the battle of Qarqar, Ahab's death, and the date of the 4th year of Solomon's reign. In 1446 B.C. Moses is 80 (Exo 7:6-7) and the likely Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus was Amenhotep II.  If Moses was 80 then Moses was born in 1526 B.C. and the Pharaoh then is probably Ahmoses I.  Ahmoses I defeated the Hyksos and could it be that Ahmoses enslaved the other Semites in the delta, the Hebrews, since Ahmoses needed to strengthen his northern border and stamp out the potential threat that could come from the Hebrews?  Ahmoses did build forts on his northern border.  This means he may have considered the Hebrews potential enemies since they we Semites just like the Hyksos. What better way to stamp out the threat then by enslaving the Hebrews.  Since Ahmoses I reign was probably 1570-1544 B.C. he could have put the clamps down on the Hebrews years before Moses' birth in 1526 B.C.   Returning back to 1446 B.C. and substituting the name Jacob for Israel one may conclude that Jacob (Israel and his sons) entered Egypt 430 years earlier or in the year 1876 B.C.  At this time Jacob (Israel) tells Pharaoh that he is 130 years old as found in Gen. 47:8-9.  He died 17 years later in 1859 B.C. as noted in Gen. 47:28.  Knowing Jacob's age upon entering Egypt and the year (thanks Edwin!!) we can then easily find the following ... * Jacob born in 2006 B.C. since he was 130 in 1876 * Isaac was born in 2066 B.C. since Isaac was 60 at Jacob and Esau's birth Gen. 25:26 * Since Abraham is 100 at the birth of Isaac in 2066 B.C. - as we find in Gen. 21:5 - then Abraham was born in 2166 B.C. * Abraham left Haran for Canaan when he was 75 years old or in the year 2091 B.C. as found in Gen. 12:4 Knowing the years of these events provides me with an interesting door that I have not entered yet.  If I go through the door I would be able to research what is going on in Egypt, the names of the pharaohs, and I could study the culture and history of Canaan and much more.  For example if I know the dating of when Abraham is in Canaan, might archaeology help me determine who Abimelech was that Abraham made a covenant with at Beer Sheba?  Could I determine using archaeology living conditions in the northern Negev and in ancient Hebron?   Once again taking Thiele's work and expanding its connection to the events prior to the Exodus, there is a very interesting result when this is applied to the life of Joseph.  See the chart below ... Since Jacob (Israel) was 130 when he entered Egypt in the year 1876 B.C. and died 17 year later in 1859 B.C. one can easily determine the connection between the ages of Joseph, the events in his life as found in Genesis, and the years these events would've occurred.  Use the chart above as a help as we go through the following.  Also, get your Bible handy and check the verses used. Starting in  Gen. 37:2 we find Joseph is 17 and he begins his work as 2nd in command of Egypt at age 30. He is 37 at the end of the 7 years of plenty in Gen. 41:53 and 39 or 40 in 2nd year of the famine when his brothers come to Egypt and later, probably the same year, Joseph meets his father Jacob again in Gen. 45:6, 47:9.   So, if Joseph is 39 or 40 when he meets his dad again and then Joseph is 56 or 57 when his dad dies 17 years later in 1859 B.C. we can now go back and assign years to the events in Joseph's life.  It is fascinating to consider that Joseph probably served under three pharaohs.  He started his work at age 30 in the year 1886/87 B.C. or the 12th Dynasty in Egypt.  The pharaoh in office at the time was Senusret II.  His reign ends in perhaps 1878 B.C. and Joseph would've been 38 years old and the seven years of famine would've ended.  The 7 years of famine would start 1879 or 1880 B.C. and continue into the reign of Senusret III.   See the chart below ... Above chart from Aidan Dodson, Dyan Hilton: The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt. The American University in Cairo Press, London 2004 Joseph would serve under Senusret III (under this pharaoh all the Egyptians sold their land to the king and seemingly the government became centralized), Amenemhat III, and died in 1806 B.C. under Amenemhat IV.  Knowing the pharaohs is interesting that Senusret III took all the control away from the provincial governors in upper and lower Egypt that seems to relate to the events in Genesis where all Egyptians sold everything including their land (the possession that implies power) to Joseph (ala pharaoh).  Another fascinating thing to consider is the area of Faiyum - the amazing oasis west of the Nile.   Consider the following ... and and Accessed from the awesome and credible scholarly site on ancient Egypt -www.ancient.eu/Fayum/  It is interesting to assign actual years of the events in Joseph's life that are a result of Thiele's work as per the ancient Assyrian calendar.  When we do we see that the pharaohs connected to Joseph's reign were using the ancient area of Faiyum to irrigate and reclaim agricultural land.  Why?  What's the big deal?  Is there some reason to reclaim needed agricultural land and provide irrigation for other areas?  Perhaps this is connected to Joseph and 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine.  And when we assign years we find that the pharaoh who would've been the pharaoh in the 7 years of famine where the land all came under the control or the king is Senusret III.  And he historically did something similar as we find in the account in Genesis.  The last thing that was very exciting is extending the dating into the years before the Exodus and into the life of Joseph.  We find that Joseph died in 1806 B.C. (chart above) and this was 280 years before Moses was born in 1526 B.C.    However, Jacob and entered Egypt when he was 130 (1876 B.C.) , he died when he was 147 (1859 B.C.) when Joseph was 56/57 years old.  This means the "sons of Israel" or Jacob and his family lived for 17 years in Egypt until Jacob dies.  Joseph was 57 (I will use 57 for ease of calculation) when Jacob dies and lived another 53 years when he died at 110 as we read in Gen. 50:22.  That means the "sons of Israel" or the "sons of Jacob" lived another 53 years in Egypt until Joseph died for a total of 70 years.  But, Joseph died 280 years before Moses was born.  Finally, Moses and the Hebrews leave Egypt when Moses was 80.  So, the Hebrews lived 70 years in Egypt till Joseph died, another 280 years till Moses was born, and 80 more years till they left Egypt or a total of 430 years.  This is the exact number as found in Exod. 12:40.  I have always asked myself where did this number come from?  No one has explained it to me.  And then I extended Thiele's work into the Exodus and beyond.  I was "blown away" that Thiele's work verified Exod. 12:40 by me taking his work and assigning years to the Bible events.  This was so so exciting to say the least.  And we now read Gen. 39:1-4 knowing the year is actually happened, Joseph enters Egypt in 1916 B.C.   Rev.

As a Dvar Torah for Vayigash (Joseph's revealing himself to his brothers following Judah's speech), I explore the mitzvah of redeeming our captives and the limitations on the law "for the sake of Tikkun Olam." The conversation among American Jews about Gaza centers around "Ceasefire or No Ceasefire? What kind of Jew am I if I don't support stopping the bombing?" while the conversation in Israel is "Exchange terrorists for hostages? What kind of Jew am I if I don't bring my sister/brother home at any cost to an Israel bereaved beyond measure?"  In an amazing synchronicity with the Torah reading, the entire drama of all the parashiyot of the Joseph saga lead up to whether Judah will say for his brother Benjamin what he wouldn't say for Joseph, that he will do anything rather than fail to bring his brother home to his bereft father, an Israel who cannot bear further trauma. What kind of Judah/Jew am I if I don't bring my brother home to my heartbroken Israel? And there is Israel (Jacob), saying he will enter Sheol (the underworld) if he is forced to endure another son never coming home. The redemption of Jewish captives is one of the hightest mitzvot in Judaism. Why? And why does the Talmud and Jewish Legal codes say that one only refrains from doing so for the sake of Tikkun Olam?

Why was Israel/Jacob mourned by Egyptians? Hint: It's not because of who he was!

Israel (Jacob) finds it hard to believe that his son, Joseph, is still alive and finally makes his way to Egypt when he learns his son is now second in command over all of Egypt. As the family of Israel settles into the land of Goshen, an Egpytian suburb, tensions grow between this growing tribe and the nation of Egypt.

‘If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. ‘ Exodus 21:10-11 ‘“ ‘Do not take your wife's sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living. ‘ Leviticus 18:18 Several of the great patriarchs of the Bible had multiple wives Moses, Israel (Jacob), Esau, David, Solomon, and many more all had multiple wives. “Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭ There has never been a Black Civilization Historically or Present Day where the Black Man was required to have only one woman. Monogamous Marriage is a White Roman European ideal that has never existed in any Black Civilizations EVER CREATED: “Marriage in ancient Rome was a strictly monogamous institution: a Roman citizen by law could have only one spouse at a time. The practice of monogamy distinguished the Greeks and Romans from other ancient civilizations (such as the Egyptians, the Ethiopians, the Persians, the Israelites, etc) in which elite males typically had multiple wives. Greco-Roman monogamy may have arisen from the egalitarianism of the democratic and republican political systems of the city-states. It is one aspect of ancient Roman culture that was embraced by early Christianity, which in turn perpetuated it as an ideal in later Western culture.”

Genesis 45:16–47:28When the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had come, Pharaoh and all his officials were pleased. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan, and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can enjoy the fat of the land.'“You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come. Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all Egypt will be yours.'”So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts, as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey. To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes. And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey. Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, “Don't quarrel on the way!”So they went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. They told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.” Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them. But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. And Israel said, “I'm convinced! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”“Here I am,” he replied.“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph's own hand will close your eyes.”Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel's sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt, taking with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan. Jacob brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.These are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt:Reuben the firstborn of Jacob.The sons of Reuben:Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.The sons of Simeon:Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.The sons of Levi:Gershon, Kohath and Merari.The sons of Judah:Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez and Zerah (but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan).The sons of Perez:Hezron and Hamul.The sons of Issachar:Tola, Puah, Jashub and Shimron.The sons of Zebulun:Sered, Elon and Jahleel.These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, besides his daughter Dinah. These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.The sons of Gad:Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.The sons of Asher:Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah.Their sister was Serah.The sons of Beriah:Heber and Malkiel.These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah—sixteen in all.The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel:Joseph and Benjamin. In Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.The sons of Benjamin:Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.These were the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all.The son of Dan:Hushim.The sons of Naphtali:Jahziel, Guni, Jezer and Shillem.These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel—seven in all.All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons' wives—numbered sixty-six persons. With the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob's family, which went to Egypt, were seventy in all.Now Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When they arrived in the region of Goshen, Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father and wept for a long time.Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father's household, who were living in the land of Canaan, have come to me. The men are shepherds; they tend livestock, and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.' When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?' you should answer, ‘Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.' Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.” He chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?”“Your servants are shepherds,” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.” They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants' flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you, and the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock.”Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh, Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.” Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed. Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their children.There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine. Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh's palace. When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all Egypt came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is all gone.”“Then bring your livestock,” said Joseph. “I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone.” So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land. Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh's, and Joseph reduced the people to servitude, from one end of Egypt to the other. However, he did not buy the land of the priests, because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground. But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children.”“You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord; we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.”So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt—still in force today—that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh's.Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.Jacob lived in Egypt seventeen years, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.

Abraham (formerly called Abram) is viewed as one of the most important persons if not the most important person in Scripture besides Yeshua Himself. YeHoVaH introduced Himself to Moses as the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel/Jacob.  The faith we confess today started with the faith of Abraham.  In this passage, Abram was commanded to get out of his country, get away from his kindred, and get from his father's house.  Because Abraham was emotionally connected to his family, he brought with him his father, Terah, and nephew, Lot.  In spite of this, Abraham trusted YeHoVaH and YeHoVaH made several everlasting promises to Abraham in this passage.   

Here we see the meeting of Joseph with his father, Israel (Jacob) after some 15 plus years of separation, and really of Israel thinking Joseph was dead.  But the reunion is short and right away Joseph the great strategist starts giving advice to his family on what to say to Pharaoh.  

Unlike his father Israel (Jacob), Judah is willing to step up and lead with action..

The Book of Obadiah is God's word to encourage His discouraged and defeated people who are living in exile, to remind them that God will ultimately triumph over their enemies through retribution, restitution, and restoration. Obadiah prophesies God's judgment on Edom (Esau) for their participation in atrocities against Israel (Jacob). This is a family feud that begins in Genesis 25 in the sibling rivalry between Jacob and Esau.

The last episode ended with Jacob on the run. A situation many of us have been in with our relationship with God. Yet, the Bible tells an extraordinary story of redemption. It is not all easy though. The same problems Jacob ran from follow him wherever he goes until he is ready to fully surrender to God.Check out more of More Than That:https://www.michaelcoridan.com/Twitter: @themorethanpodInstagram: The_More_Than_Podcast

Moses' life was in danger from the moment he was born. He was an Israelite—a descendant of Israel (Jacob)—living in Egypt after Jacob's family had moved there, seeking food during a famine.

Hey hey hey! This is Genesis Chapters 37 through 50 (the end). It's basically the story of Joseph and his brothers and all the drama. An exciting ride and I love how Joseph forgives his bros at the end of the day...even though they wanted to kill him but ultimately decided to sell him off into slavery. It was exactly what needed to happen to make his literal dreams come true which ended up being the biggest blessing his family could have asked for. The end of Genesis sets us up for next week saying that the twelve tribes of Israel (Jacob) were now living in Egypt (and known as the Israelites.) It's the perfect way to end Genesis because Exodus will pick right up (like 400 years later) where we left off with the Israelites. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/salisha-thomas/support

Akemi Luisa Herráez Vossbrink depicts relations between imperial Spain and the Americas, through Francisco de Zurbarán's paintings, The Tribes of Israel.

Genesis 34-38 - the people who become "the twelve tribes of Israel"

What led Israel/Jacob and his family to Egypt was a desire to escape the hardships of the world. They found a very comfortable life amongst the Egyptian people until things changed into sorrow and suffering. It is an inescapable principle of life: sin promises freedom and happiness, but in the end, it only leads to bondage and sorrow. To set the stage of where we are going to go I want to share what Pastor Mark Trotter wrote in his Bible study titled “52 Weeks of Pursuit”. EGYPT is a picture of the world and sin. It will consistently stand for that which is in opposition to God—and God's people. Just as Egypt held God's people in bondage in the Old Testament—it pictures the world's system that seeks to hold us in bondage in the New Testament. (Eph. 2:2) PHARAOH, the wicked king of Egypt, is a picture of Satan, the wicked king of the world's system who exercises his will in taking God's people captive. (2 Tim. 2:26) ISRAEL is a picture of the individual believer. Please note that Israel is not a picture of the church! In Exodus 4:22–23, God plainly declares that “Israel is my son” and commands Moses to tell Pharaoh to “let my son go, that he may serve me.” In the New Testament, God reveals that as individual believers in Christ, we now posses the title, “son of God.” (1 John 3:2; John 1:12; Rom. 8:14) Making the proper connection between Israel and the individual believer will keep us from “wrongly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:13)—and misapplying God's Word to our lives. MOSES is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, the deliverer of God's people. Our message today is titled: “A Child is Born”
