Genesis 10-12
Sorry I missed yesterday, brethern and cistern, my interwebs was not functioning. So today, we've got 2 days to catch up on.
Here we go.
Genesis 10 is a list of the begats; that most people just skim over, or skip.
We've had indepth discussions of the begat list before, so we won't get into it right here, unless there are some more questions about it.
Genesis 11; the tower of Babel.
Here we learn that if people only have one language, they are unstoppable.
Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Then there's some more begats...
Then the birth of Abram and Lot; and that pretty much concludes Genesis 11.
Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
The Lord's promise to Abram. PRAISE JESUS!!!
Ok, so the story continues, there's a famine, and Abram and his wife Sarai go to Egypt to get food.
Genesis 12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
So Abram was 75 and walking around in the desert with a HOT wife; go Abram. So the egyptians hear that this guy has a fine-ass SISTER so they trade for her; give Abram a bunch of stuff, and she goes and lives in pharoahs house.
God didn't like that, so he sent some plagues to Egypt (it's a recurring theme in the bible). So Pharoah says, why did you say it was your sister when it was your wife?
So then pharoah send them away.
And that's the end of Day 4.
