Bible Study for Atheists - Genesis Chapters 48 - 49 - 50

[00:00:00] Husband! Yes wife! Let's read the Bible. But we're atheists, why would we want to do such a thing? Because we live in small town USA and everyone around us puts this thing extensively and we have no idea how to respond.

[00:00:12] That's true. Neither of us grew up with religion yet Christianity is playing a huge part in our country's politics. We're not scholars or academics, so Sacrilegious Discourse is our first take reaction.

[00:00:23] And this feed houses our reading of the book of Genesis, and each subsequent book will get its own separate feed too.

[00:00:29] Why are we separating each book? Not all podcast platforms allow access to older episodes. This will ensure our listeners don't lose access to any of our previously released material. You can find our most recent episodes on our main channel, Sacrilegious Discourse.

[00:00:43] That's right! Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode. Hey you, welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. I'm Husband. I'm wife. And together we're reading the Bible. Starting with Genesis and eventually ending with revelations, we're working through every book and offering our EDS 2 cents.

[00:01:07] Four shacles? Yeah, those. We're asking questions and pointing out all the nonsense. We aren't academics or scholars. No, in fact when it comes to religion, we really don't know anything at all. What we've learned so far is that God's a dick.

[00:01:22] Oh, he really is, isn't he? If you're interested in how we've reached the startling conclusion, maybe start from episode 1. Otherwise, jump in anywhere. It's all good? Yep. Husband. Wife? I have to apologize to you in advance. Could you sound like you smoked 10 packs of cigarettes?

[00:01:53] I do sound like that. I was going to say I sound like asked because I'm sick, but... Right. I mean, you could say you sound like asked. Either sound like I smoked 10 packs of cigarettes or I sound like asked. What's your other way? Right.

[00:02:07] You suck. I suck and I'm sorry for it. Especially now that we have all these new listeners or whatever. I know, hello. I was born on a... I was born on a... Bunch of new people listening to they apparently. They love me. Yeah. They love me.

[00:02:21] He's spread in the good word. They really love me. Join our cult of shittiness. Oh my God. I'm not an idiot. What are we doing today? Well, before we say what we're about to do, let's ask you... Oh yeah.

[00:02:36] By weekly question, do you remember what happened last time? I'm pretty sure we just finished up with Joseph and Jacob and all those fuckers. Yeah. Do you remember what those fuckers did? I know that Jacob died. But just prior to that.

[00:02:53] Like he went to Egypt and saw his son and it was all happy dancing. Oh, as you remember that they were like, you know, taking advantage of all the poor people. Yes. There was this giant famine across Egypt. Right. And Pharaoh and Joseph...

[00:03:09] And Joseph and they got it, you made it pretty well. Because nepotism is what it's all about. You know, even though they sold them to slavers and dumped them to whatever well. Right. But it all was a sister. Sister would have her same difference. Whatever.

[00:03:26] And then the people were like, I'll be your slave if you'll just let me not die of starvation, please. And they were like, well, okay. But say thank you though. Yeah, but we're done with that now. Yeah. So what are we doing today?

[00:03:39] Were we thinking we're done with that anyway? We...yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Okay. We've got three chapters of Genesis left. We are going to read those three final chapters today. Genesis chapters 48, 49 and 50. Wait, you mean we're finishing a book of the Bible?

[00:03:57] We are finishing a book of the Bible. Holy shit. I have never read an entire book of the Bible. I've never read an entire 10 minutes of the Bible. Same these. Well, let's get this done and then we can like celebrate.

[00:04:16] Do you think we'll finally find out about Nimrod? No. Shit. I mean, we're going to have a bonus episode next time. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, hell. You're going to find all out about Nimrod. I mean, I'm going to show you what I learned about him.

[00:04:32] But before we do that, we're going to have a pop quiz. Okay. To see how much we remember about the book of Genesis. You can just head me down for an F. Yes, same, same, same, same. Okay. All right. So we were doing what again now today.

[00:04:48] The final three chapters of Genesis. What are you seven? No, no, no. I'm sorry, 48, 49 and 50. Yes. Wow. 50 chapters of the Bible. Yeah. Ready? Yeah, I am. Let's do this. Okay. Hey, wife. Yes, husband. Did you know that we are now on Patreon?

[00:05:25] That sounds really drastic and escalated quickly, ish. Well, no, there's multiple levels before there. So that's, that escalates on the sliding scale of, you know, cheap to not cheap. But, you know, we can definitely use any amount. So like any support is always appreciated.

[00:05:42] So what exactly is Patreon? It's a place where you can show your support for our podcast and just our podcast. Any podcast or any performer, but you know, we're the ones that, you know, you're listening to right now. So maybe you should, you know, support us.

[00:06:18] Here we go. Genesis chapter 48, Jacob blesses E from and Vanessa. Oh, I guess we're back to Jacob. So it's not dead yet. He liked it. Yeah, like he died and now he's back. Yeah.

[00:06:30] From not back from the dead, but we're probably going like retro or where they call it flashback. Flashback. Yeah. Like when you put your hands up and you go jazz hands. Yeah, wave your hands in front of you. Like. Woo. Okay. Where in the past now?

[00:06:47] Where in the past? Is it black and white? It's in black and white. I think it's in black and white. Yeah. I think it's in black and white. Okay. Ready. Yeah. No. No. You have a cigarette voice. Just go with me. Oh my god. Okay.

[00:07:03] One day and not long after this word came to Joseph your father is failing rapidly. So Joseph went to visit his father and he took with him his two sons, Vanessa and Ephraim. When Joseph arrived, Jacob was told your son, Joseph has come to see you.

[00:07:17] So Jacob gathered his strength and sat up in his bed. Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at love in the land of Canaan and Blessed me. He said to me, I will make you fruitful and I will multiply your descendants.

[00:07:30] I will make you a multitude of nations. Does that to everybody? No. You ain't special. And I will give this land of Canaan to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession. Stephen mentioned he's got to make him slaves to you. Whatever.

[00:07:47] Now I am claiming as my own sons these two boys of yours, Ephraim and Vanessa who were born here in the land of Egypt before I arrived. They will be my sons just as Ruben and Simon are but any children wait.

[00:08:02] Did he just literally steal his grandchildren from Joseph and be like, you ain't these kids mine now? Sounds like it. I thought he was like being symbolic but now he's going but any children born to you in the future

[00:08:14] will be your own and they will inherit land within the territories of their brothers, Ephraim and Vanessa. Long ago as I was returning from Padana Ram, Benina Ramah, Rachel died in the land of Canaan. We were still on the way some distance from Ephraim that is Bethlehem.

[00:08:33] So with great sorrow I buried her there beside the road to Ephraim. Then Jacob looked over at the two boys. Are these your sons he asked? Yes Joseph told him, these are the sons God has given me here in Egypt.

[00:08:46] And Jacob said, bring them closer to me so I can bless them. I would be kind of scared I would be like, Do you think about the die and he's taken his sons? What does that mean? I don't know.

[00:08:58] He's blessing them as his own sons so is he blessing them? Yes. You get Jacob inheritance not just your dad inheritance? Joseph seems to be doing all right for himself. No right? I'm going to go with that. I'm going to go with that.

[00:09:16] I'm going to go with that. Jacob was half blind because of his age and could hardly see. So Joseph brought the boys close to him and Jacob kissed and embraced them. That's what every kid loves to be hugged and kissed by old people.

[00:09:30] Especially when I was like on their death head. Right? You're reading over my shoulder. I don't like it. You don't typically do that. I'm sorry. Well no, I'm just saying like normally you don't read over my shoulder. I mean it's not like it's a secret.

[00:09:43] It's the fucking Bible. No, I know but if I mess up like normally I can just like keep going like I didn't mess up. But so I pointed out that in the office you like I do on the show anyway?

[00:09:53] Yeah but you may do it more often if you actually are able to catch me. Well the audience love it. No they won't. They're on my side. They don't want you to read over my shoulder. Okay. I did a poll. Okay. You didn't do any poll?

[00:10:08] Oh I did. We just whatever. You're fine. Okay then Jacob said the Joseph. I never thought I would see your face again but now God has let me see your children too. God is repetitive.

[00:10:21] Joseph moved the boys who are after grandfather's knees and he bowed with his face to the ground. Then he positioned the boys in front of Jacob with his right hand. He directed E from toward Jacob's left hand.

[00:10:34] And with his left hand he put pan-manasa at Jacob's right hand. Right left right left. Are you picturing? Is it really matter? No it was too hard though. Okay. It was like a game of chess there with hands and braces and laces.

[00:10:48] But Jacob crossed his arms as he reached out to lay his hands on the boys heads. He put his right hand on the head of E from though he was the younger boy. And his left hand on the head of Minesa though he was the first born.

[00:11:02] Then he blessed Joseph and said, May the God before whom my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac walked. The God who has been my shepherd all my life to this very day, the angel who has redeemed me from all harm may he bless these boys.

[00:11:19] May they preserve my name and the names of Abraham and Isaac and may their descendants multiply greatly throughout the earth. Right. Yeah. The fruitful multiplied. Does this look like the sand? I have to ask a question though.

[00:11:34] What was with the crossing of the hands and why does it matter which one was the right hand on the left hand? Is it are they indicating that the right hand gives a stronger blessing like I think that this is about the older son younger son thing. Right.

[00:11:47] That we're about to get into. Okay. I don't know. But like is this really like you know, Yeah. Left hand right hand. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Like it matters. Right. It not to us. Sure. And we're about to find out I think why. Okay.

[00:12:05] But Joseph was upset when he saw that his father placed his right hand on ephams head. So Joseph lifted it to move it from ephams head to menaces head. No, my father. He said this one is the first born. Put your right hand on his head.

[00:12:20] But his father refused. I know my son. I know he replied. Manassa will also become a great people, but his younger brother will become even greater Jesus. What? What make you happen? You're like on purpose, so in discord between these two kids. What a dick.

[00:12:38] Can you just be the whole purpose. Just buy those. Just fucking die. Die quiet. Go peaceful. And his descendants will become a multitude of nations. Yeah. They all will. We know we fucking know. Right. So Jacob blessed the boys that day with his blessing.

[00:12:53] He blessed them with a blessing. That's right. That's how blessings go. It's good writing. The people of Israel will use your names when they give a blessing. They will say, May God make you as prosperous as epham and manassa. In this way, Jacob put epham ahead of manassa.

[00:13:10] I mean, personally, I'd rather be as profitable as basil. But that's just me. That came out of love field. Like I had to think I was like basil. Oh, phased. I see what you did there. Okay. Okay. Then Jacob said the jokes of look. I'm about to die.

[00:13:29] I love how I say look all the time like you're looking. You're a couple of men. Yeah. You're a couple of men. Yeah. You're not letting me compliment. You're complimenting yourself. That is correct. Okay. It makes me happy.

[00:13:41] I just want to make sure we are clear on that. It makes me happy. That's good. Look. I'm about to die. But God will be with you. And we'll take you back to Canaan. The land of your ancestors. And beyond what I have given your brothers,

[00:13:54] I am now giving you an extra portion of the land that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow. The end. Okay. So he blessed a bunch of people but extra blessed the right hand young child. Whichever one.

[00:14:09] Then the left hand child was sort of blessed but not as much. And apparently right hand left hand means different things. Yeah. And they didn't really cover that. Yeah. Who cares? Whatever. Okay. We'll figure it out. But I was wrong.

[00:14:25] We're still in the story of Jacob and Joseph and all that. It's never end. So apparently we might end the Bible with them possibly. We could end. Or not the Bible. I'm sorry. No, just judge us. Stay with us. We got 16 more books. Don't go anywhere. It's true.

[00:14:39] I think there's like 66 total or so. Right. So alright. Well let's go on to chapter 49. Alright. Be there in just a moment. You. Okay. Genesis chapter 49. Jacob's prophecy concerning his sons. Hmm. This is include the son. I want to conclude the sons that he just took from Joseph.

[00:15:06] The stolen grandson. I don't know. Let's find out. Then Jacob called together all his sons and said, Gather around me and I will tell you what will happen to each of you in the days to come. Come and listen. You sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.

[00:15:23] Rubin, you are my first born. My strength. The child of my vigorous youth. You are first in rank and first in power. But you are as unruly as a flood. And you will be first no longer. For you went to bed with my wife.

[00:15:38] You defile my marriage couch. What the hell? Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. This is like hardcore. It's like more poof it or something. I think the bed with his wife. You. You. I think I kind of remember that. But I just kind of came out of nowhere.

[00:15:56] I'm about to die. We clear in the air now. Simon and Levi are two of a kind. Their weapons are instruments of violence. May I never join in their meetings. May I never be a party to their plans. For in their anger they murdered men.

[00:16:12] And they crippled oxen just for sport. They were hurt by their anger. For it is fierce, a curse on their wrath. For it is cruel. I will scatter them among the descendants of Jacob. I will disperse them throughout Israel.

[00:16:27] No, I didn't God say at some point that a murderer has to be executed. Yeah. I recall that being a thing. I think it just depends on the mood. Right. Nothing. Nothing. So let it just say whatever.

[00:16:42] If you're like, when a God's people, you get a little bit more leeway that is not. It's a suggestion. Hardcore law. Like if you have our blessing. Hmm. Oh, keep in mind this shit wasn't written down at that point either. No, I know.

[00:16:55] So it was kind of like, hmm. We'll let this one go. I really like this guy. I guess. But could you imagine like, like your dad is about to die and you've lived with him, your whole family, all your life.

[00:17:08] He's about to die and then all of a sudden he's like, oh, and by the way. Right. On his way out the door. Yeah. That's cold. Hmm. You've dragged his ass halfway across the door. I know. I know.

[00:17:20] But I mean, think about this like, oh, and I'm about to die and there's no time for you to make it up to me. The end. Right. Right. That sucks. What a dick. Honestly. Yeah. I'm taking those kid taking Joseph's kids. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:17:34] What the hell is he doing? Well, I think that he's saying, all my son's suck. And I'm taking these two as my sons, meaning that they're going to get the blessings that I don't give to you. That's what I think. I see.

[00:17:43] I think this is a good thing for us. So he hates all of his sons except for Joseph and then. Benjamin. He loves Benjamin, the baby. Okay. And probably he likes what was that one that went to go free, Simon?

[00:17:56] No, that was Rubin and he just said Rubin's a bad boy. Right. Wow. That's that's harsh. He's slurped into his wife. Well, yeah. I guess that would. Yeah. Kind of be the end of things. Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will grasp your enemies by the neck.

[00:18:14] All your relatives will bow before you. Judah, my son, is a young lion that has finished eating its prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down. Like a lion is who dares to rouse him.

[00:18:27] The scepter will not depart from Judah nor the ruler's staff from his descendants. Until the coming of the one to whom it belongs. The one whom all nations will honor. He ties his fold to a grapevine, the cult of his donkey to a choice vine.

[00:18:44] He washes his clothes and wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. His eyes are darker than wine and his teeth are wider than milk. Wow. I didn't really. Was that all good like your good man? I mean it sounded like yeah. I think it was all good.

[00:19:01] Right. That was cool. I understand. Like the goodness of it but it was kind of cool. Right because it was kind of wrapped in like a metaphorical stuff. Crap. Zebulon will settle by the seashore and will be a harbor for ships. His borders will extend to sit on.

[00:19:20] Issa car is a sturdy donkey resting between two saddle packs. When he sees how good the country side is and how pleasant the land, he will bend his shoulder to the load and submit himself to heart labor. So he's a steady ass. He's a steady ass nice.

[00:19:38] Dan will govern his people like any other tribe in Israel. Dan will be a snake beside the road, a poisonous vapor along the path that bites the horses who have so its writer is thrown off. I trust in you for salvation, O Lord. Oh. Okay.

[00:19:58] God will be a to I mean random. Yeah. Yeah. God will be attacked by marauding bands but he will attack them when they retreat. Asher will die on rich foods and produce food fit for kings. Nephtali is a dose at free that bears beautiful funds.

[00:20:19] Joseph is the full of a wild donkey. The full of a wild donkey at a spring. One of the wild donkey's on the ridge archers attacked him savagely.

[00:20:30] They shot at him and harassed him but his bow remained taught and his arms were strengthened by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob. By the shepherd, the rock of Israel. May the God of your father help you.

[00:20:45] May the almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above. And blessings of the watery depths below. May my father be blessings on you surpass the blessings of my ancestors. Reaching to the heights of the eternal hills.

[00:21:00] May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph who is a prince among his brothers. Joseph has got a heck of a lot of blessing going on there. Joseph is awesome. Awesome is Joseph. A. W. E. S. O. M. E. Awesome. Awesome. P. S. E.

[00:21:20] Charlie's going to get him some wounds and breasts. Yeah, he couldn't get that titty. Benjamin is a ravenous wolf devouring his enemies in the morning and dividing his plunder in the evening. Whoa, I thought he liked Benjamin. Sorry, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean, okay.

[00:21:38] All right. We're still on the same chapter but next section. The death and burial of Jacob. Yeah, do need to die no shit. Right. Yeah. These are the 12 tribes of Israel and this is what their father said as he told his sons goodbye.

[00:21:55] He blessed each one with an appropriate message, then Jacob instructed them. Soon I will die and join my ancestors. Barry me with my father and grandfather in the cave in the field of E. From the Hittite. Is that the same place?

[00:22:08] This is the cave in the field of Mech, Palan, their memory and Cainin that Abraham bought from E. From the Hittite as a permanent burial site. That's cool. There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried. There Isaac and his wife Rebecca are buried and there I buried Leah.

[00:22:27] It is the plot of land and the cave that my grandfather Abraham bought from the Hittites for the fucking third time. When Jacob had finished this charge to his sons, he drew his feet into the bed. Breathe this last and joined his ancestors in death. Bye bye Jacob.

[00:22:46] Bye Jacob, see you in the next life. I'm in your cave. Cave burial. So I don't really have anything to add about that. Yeah no, let's just find out what happened in the last year. Here we go. Let's go. Do the last chapter of the Bible.

[00:23:03] Let's get a hell of a death. Oh, the Genesis, that's what I'm doing. Oh my god, you're an idiot. Let's get a hell of a death. Hell yeah. Okay. Let's do this. Okay. Are you ready? Genesis chapter 50. Yeah. I'm so excited. We just are about to finish Genesis.

[00:23:27] That I'm just so excited. Okay, here we go. Quick before like a meteor hits us or something. Wouldn't that be funny? No, it would not. I mean it wouldn't be funny but it would be like, you know. Appropriate. Right. Especially given this 2020. Yeah, that's true.

[00:23:43] Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him. Then Joseph told the physicians who served him to embom his father's body. So Jacob wasn't bombed. The embolming process took the usual for 40 days, you know. 40 days. The usual 40 days.

[00:24:00] Damn. Do you imagine that it took people 40 days to embom nowadays? No and think about it this way too. Like now we have these nice freezers and like, you know, medical things. And we do like back then it was just cave and you. Yeah.

[00:24:15] That body was full right. Right. And the Egyptians mourned his death for 70 days. When the period of morning was over, Joseph approached Farrow's advisors and said, Please do me this favor and speak to Farrow on my behalf. Tell him that my father made me swear and oath.

[00:24:32] He said to me, listen, I'm about to die. Take my body back to the land of Canaan and bury me in the tomb. I prepared for myself. So please allow me to go and bury my father. After his burial, I will return without delay.

[00:24:46] Wait, he had 70 days to tell the Farrow there himself and he just like shoves it off on some other person's like, hey, at the last minute. He did like tell him how peace out. I'll be back in a bit. Yeah. For something.

[00:24:57] Well, I guess when you're in mourning, there's like certain rules. And one of them is probably like who you're allowed to talk to during that time or whatever. Yes, for 70 days seems pretty. I bet those commoners that were begging for food. I bet they don't get 70 fucking days.

[00:25:09] Right. I bet you're right. Farrow agreed to Joseph's request. Go and bury your father as he made you promise, he said. So Joseph went up to bury his father. He was accompanied by all the Farrow's officials, all the senior members of Farrow's household,

[00:25:24] and all the senior officers of Egypt. That is so lucky. Like these guys didn't even really know Jacob the fuck. Well, he was basically running Egypt though. Jacob wasn't Joseph. But that's why they went. They didn't go because of Jacob. They went because of Joseph.

[00:25:42] But I'm just saying like, damn. Right. Joseph also took his entire household and his brothers and their households. But they left their little children and flocks and herds in the land of Gochon. A great number of chariots and charioteers, a company Joseph.

[00:25:57] What's the difference between a chariot and a chariot here? Um, I don't know. I could tell by your long length. I think it's something really funny. But I did. I was like chariot with beer, chariot. Nothing. Nothing. Yeah. It's not good enough. No.

[00:26:17] But then I said it anyway. You're welcome. You're welcome. You're dope. When he arrived at the Thrushing Floor of a Todd near the Jordan River, they held a very great and solemn memorial service with a seven day period of morning for Joseph's father. 70 days.

[00:26:36] And then they stopped at some fucking river. They're like, let's do it again for seven days. They sure spoke did. The local residents, the Canaanites, watch the morning at the Thrushing Floor of a Todd. Then they renamed that place because that's what they always do. Right.

[00:26:52] Which is near the Jordan. About Ms. Rom, where they said, this is a place of deep morning for these Egyptians. So Jacob's sons did as he had commanded them. They carried his body to the land of Tainin and buried him in the cave in the field of

[00:27:06] Muckpalon near memory. This is the cave that Abraham had bought as a permanent burial site from E. from the Hittite. Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember? He was just going to give it to him. And then he was like, nah man, I'm okay.

[00:27:21] He should have been taking my money. 400 silver. Oh, yeah. Something like that. I don't remember. After burying Jacob, Joseph returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had a company to his father's burial. Okay. Uh-oh, we about to end things ready. The death of Joseph.

[00:27:38] Oh, Joseph got a die. More and more. But now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became fierceful. You know, if he's funny. Be careful. Not fierce. He's funny if they just like the title of the thing was the death of Joseph.

[00:27:50] And then five days later, Joseph died because sometimes the Bible does show like that. It's true, but there's a few paragraphs here. Yeah. Now, Joseph will show his anger and pay us back for all the wrong we did to him. They said the brothers. Yeah.

[00:28:04] No, I got it. So they sent this message to Joseph. Sorry. I'm having a hard time with um, words. Everything. It's hard. It's hard to talk and breathe right now. Everything's stuffy. Yeah. So they sent this message to Joseph.

[00:28:19] Before your father died, he instructed us to say to you, Please forgive your brothers for the great wrongly did to you. Sorry. It's so fucking stupid. I'm going to thought that would have been something he wouldn't told himself. I would think so. Yeah.

[00:28:37] But their sin in creating you so cruelly. So we, the servants of the God of your father, beg you to forgive our sin. Not because they're sorry, but because they're like, Oh, shit. He's like a dead. Yeah, it said. Yeah. Yeah. Totally sorry. When Joseph received the message,

[00:28:55] he broke down and wept. What a fool. Then his brothers came and threw themselves down before Joseph. Look, we are your slaves. They said, but Joseph replied, don't be afraid of me. Am I God that I can punish you?

[00:29:07] You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people and take them as slaves. Yeah. Right. No. Don't be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children.

[00:29:22] I will reassure them by speaking kindly to them. So Joseph and his brothers and their families continue to live in Egypt. Joseph lived to the age of 110. He lived to see three generations of descendants of his son, Ephraim.

[00:29:36] And he lived to see the birth of the children of menaces, son, McEir, whom he claimed as his own. Soon I will die Joseph told his brothers, but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt.

[00:29:49] He will bring you back to the land he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear on oath and he said, when God comes to help you and lead you back, you must take my bones with you.

[00:30:04] So Joseph died again at the age of 110. The Egyptians embombed him and his body was placed in a coffin in Egypt, the end. And then apparently at some point they're going to move his bones.

[00:30:16] Okay. And like I'll celebrate that we just read the entire book of Genesis momentarily, but I just gotta say, like none of them had to leave Egypt as seems. Did I miss something? Right now, I mean, and they, it seems like also they could have gone back.

[00:30:32] Any time they did multiple times? Yeah, but now all of a sudden they're like, oh no, we're stuck here or you know what? I said leave Egypt, but I meant none of them were forced to go to Egypt. But now they're like, oh no, we're stuck in Egypt.

[00:30:48] Whatever shall we do, we have to leave someday. God promised us that land over there which you know, we were fucking living on. So fucking stuff did you go? Go. Yeah, I don't understand. Like,

[00:31:00] it, all this time I thought that they were like dragged to Egypt against their will and forced to stay there. The reason if they can't be in the land that God promised. So why aren't they there?

[00:31:12] Yeah. And why do they go all over? They got there in place. And like, you know? Yeah, they spread out for like no fucking reason. Yeah, that's weird. I don't get it. Now I'm understanding this animosity less and less.

[00:31:24] So okay, so there's that, but also we just finished the book of Genesis. Yeah. Holy shit. How do you feel about it? I feel pretty good. Yeah. Was it a good book? No. No. It's locked. Yeah, it was really rough.

[00:31:40] I mean, the Joseph story that was the best part of it. But even that sucked. Yeah. What's be honest? Like, the bar is low. The bar is low when there's like rapes, I mean, five seconds. And in sest, and in sest rapes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:31:55] There was, there's a lot of chidines. Yeah. And slavery so much slavery. And I mean, they kill her. Okay. That is not something I was going to list as a complaint. But okay. But I mean, we just like bam, dude, you're dead. Yeah. For no reason.

[00:32:10] And his brother, he died too. I came with his name. I like her though. I like her. Or is this a great name? Or strong. And then run. Yeah. Yeah. Or an immodant or that's all we're going to remember from Genesis. Pretty much. Yeah.

[00:32:25] I mean, we're going to do, you mentioned bonus episodes though, right? Yeah. Next time is going to be, okay. So this episode is coming out on a Thursday. So, um, next week which is, you know, the Tuesday, um, we're going to have a bonus episode.

[00:32:44] And it's going to start with a pop quiz and we're going to see how well we do, how well we remember. And there's going to be some, um, summarizing stuff. And I might give a little contextual information and see what I can dig up on, um, that guy

[00:33:03] Nimrod that you're so fond of. Okay. Yeah. And then afterwards, what's the bonus episode? What's going to be the next book of the Bible? Um, Exodus. Okay. Yeah. Awesome.

[00:33:14] So we've got a bonus episode to wrap up Genesis and then we will start season two, which is the book of Exodus. Awesome. Well, congratulations on making it all the way through Genesis. And if you've listened to every episode with us so far, I'm sorry. Oh my god.

[00:33:32] But you know what? I just realized like not only did we finish the book of Genesis, but anybody who listened from the beginning, like, yeah, congratulations to you totally because you finished it too. And that's cool. I've never read an entire anything of the Bible.

[00:33:47] So if you are like me, you know, pat yourself on the back. That's really cool. Yeah. Not because I think the Bible is all, you know, it. Like, I don't, I don't think it's all it was cracked up to be. You know, you did the thing.

[00:34:02] Good on you. It's definitely not what it's portrayed to be. Right. Yeah. I'm not finding the Holy Spirit in it yet. No. I'm finding the Holy Shitt in it. Definitely some Holy Shitt going on there. Alright guys. Well, we will see you next week with the bonus episodes.

[00:34:21] Have a great weekend and we'll see you soon. Yep. Bye. Yes wife. Is there a way for people to contact us? Well sure. They can get on our Twitter account. We have a Twitter account. We do. What is it? It is sacrilegious underscore D. Like, D for discourse?

[00:34:51] Yeah, they wouldn't let me put the whole thing. So I had this shortment to underscore D. Like, yeah, that's disgusting. How do you spell sacrilegious D, you know? I don't want to just look it up in a dictionary or something. I don't want to do that right now.

[00:35:07] You know why? Sacrilegious underscore D, K. Because you messed it up and I made you fix it. That's why. Yeah. What about an email? Yeah, we got that too. What does it? Sacrilegious discourse at gmail.com. Well, that's easy. Yeah.

[00:35:22] If we're just going to know how to spell sacrilegious. Right. Well, definitely get a hold of us. Let us know what you thought. Thought of the episode. And, you know, any comments, hate mail. We love that kind of stuff.

[00:35:32] Also, you could answer some questions that we leave through. Or, like, correct my pronunciation. Yeah, please. Bad, wrong and horrible. Because we suck sometimes. Absolutely. Oh, also, you know, if you like this shit or whatnot, like give us a like in your podcasting app and stuff

[00:35:47] or even leave a comment or something. It will be awesome. That would be awesome. Goodbye.
