The Chapter-A-Day thread.

Happy birthday Gracie!!!

 

[brinny]

it's interesting that in the beginning of the chapter, Jacob is referred to as "Jacob", then a little later he's referred to as "Israel".....

and poor Joseph.....it must've seemed that he was "bragging" to his brothers....and then his "coat of many colors" that his father made just for him.....well there's a formula for endearment from his brothers towards him, eh?

 

[bcmom]

You aren't kiddin'....but this is the path he HAD to take in order to do you know what...it's comin'....God's plan is startin' to unfold...gonna see how slick God can be lol...

Spoiler alert!

 

[Jimmy P]

Almost gave it away right?

 

[bcmom]

Naw, I do vaguely recall what happens. There's not that many holes in my memory.

 

[Jimmy P]

Hey I'm older than you, so if anybody has memory holes, wait, what were we talkin' about?

Today's chapter is Genesis 38 NIV - Judah and Tamar - At that time, Judah - Bible Gateway
God Bless

 

[Jimmy P]

Oh good grief, the first time I've heard of paying for sex with a goat...leave that on the nightstand, good luck on that lol...

And the twin boys being born...what just happened? First dude is coming out then decides "I'll wait"? Throws it into reverse and lets his brother go first...

I wanted to share his commentary because it helped me better understand this chapter. In particular, why Onan was out to death by God. I hope it is helpful you too...

Almost like the first biblical porn...just havin' the pleasure part of it...it is weird though that it would have been ok for him to get her pregnant considering it was his sister in law...

Glad that wouldn't happen now...especially in my family...my SIL isn't a looker and she's bad news all over the place...I would ask God for a reprieve...

This is extremely helpful...i was lost in the sauce in this chapter...it clarified for me that Judah was the one who suggested that Joseph be sold into slavery, and then he's blatantly doing what displeased God, in seeking a Caananite woman for a wife....and his firstborn Er.....i'm wondering what it means that he was wicked in the sight of God and that God killed him.....

 

[Jimmy P]

Lost in the sauce? I like that...I get that way with Dawny's cookin'....I should share that at this Italian group I'm in at FB

 

[bcmom]

It clarified for me why Onan's act of spilling his seed with was a sin punishable by death. It actually clarified a lot. I like this writer, he explains things in a down to earth way. I was lost in the sauce, a brinny calls it, too... Only it wasn't delicious Italian sauce

 

[brinny]

Ohhhh, ok, getting back to Onan, and what he did that was punishable by death...noooow i understand....(i had a hard time understanding why it was so wrong....but it was just plain cold-hearted and mean and hateful to put his brother's wife in such a quandry so deliberately....he KNEW what her fate would be and he didn't care....

 

[bcmom]

Exactly, Onan knew Tamar would be left without someone to support her but he didn't care. He just used her for sex. In a way, he treated he like a prostitute. Not to excuse Tamar's deception, but she'd already been used for sex so it wasn't much of stretch for her to trick Judah into fathering a child for her.

 

[brinny]

...she was pretty desperate....

[Jimmy P]

So a little bit of this, little bit of that...but the necessary steps are taking shape for Joseph to do what he was called for...all part of the plan...

Wow, SOOOOOO much was against Joseph with Potipher's wife blatantly accusing him and lying about him.....yet, God STILL gave Joseph favor, no matter where he went. it's like God paved the way for Joseph and as it says in Proverbs, he had favor with God and man.

 

[Jimmy P]

Kinda goes with Mary had a little lamb....
and everywhere that Joseph went, God was sure to go...
