Yeah, okay, so we're doing Genesis, chapter 12, god's Call to Abram. 

08:15 - Husband (Host)
Do you think you use a cell phone? 

08:17 - Wife (Host)
I'm gonna guess if he did that it wasn't a very good signal. 

08:23 - Husband (Host)
They didn't have the 5G back then. 

08:25 - Wife (Host)
No 5G for you Two years, but um, at least there's some story coming. 

08:31 - Husband (Host)
Yeah, that sounds like excitement. Let's see Maybe. 

08:34 - Wife (Host)
I know? Yeah, don't get your hopes up too high. Right? Okay, here we go. The Lord had said to Abram leave your native country, your relatives and your father's family and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. 

08:58 - Husband (Host)
Bless some high promise in there. I mean it's got to. It's like dude, I'll make you famous. 

09:05 - Wife (Host)
All right, young guns, all the families on earth will be blessed through you. I mean, you kind of got to go under a promise like that right I guess. 

09:14 - Husband (Host)
Yeah, you're like kind of a rock star. 

09:16 - Wife (Host)
You're going to be a rock star. I guess this isn't the place where we praise Nickelback huh. 

09:21 - Husband (Host)
No Dang it Okay. 

09:25 - Wife (Host)
So Abram departed, as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75-. 

09:31 - Husband (Host)
Hey, we said we knew Lot. There he is, there's Lot. 

09:33 - Wife (Host)
There goes some Lot. Abram was 75 years old when he left Huron. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot and all his wealth, his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Huron and headed for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, abram traveled through the land as far as Shechem, like Shehshwan Shechem. 

10:00 - Husband (Host)
Yeah, sure. 

10:01 - Wife (Host)
Shechem mouth. I don't know, there he set up camp beside the Oak of Mora. 

10:07 - Ad (Ad)
You know that one oak. 

10:08 - Husband (Host)
The oak and Mora. Huh yeah, the one oak. 

10:10 - Wife (Host)
Okay, the oak, I don't know. Sometimes the area was inhabited by Canaanites. Yeah, I hate it when people are already living where. 

10:19 - Husband (Host)
I'm going, damn Canaanites, get those fuckers out of here. 

10:21 - Wife (Host)
I don't know if they're fuckers, don't be so rude. 

10:24 - Husband (Host)
Sorry. 

10:24 - Wife (Host)
Maybe they're pleasant, nice people, maybe they're good people. You're right. Yeah, I don't know. 

10:27 - Husband (Host)
I mean after all, Weren't those the people that were cursed, or something like that? I don't know. 

10:31 - Wife (Host)
Or was that somebody else? I mean God killed a lot of people. 

10:34 - Husband (Host)
He killed a lot of people. So I mean, but like back when Noah, like you know, got drunk, remember he cursed the one son, oh yeah, or the grandson, the grandson, the grandson, I don't know. I don't remember which one it was, though I don't know. Okay. 

10:48 - Wife (Host)
It's too many people to keep straight. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said I will give this land to your descendants, and April built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord who had appeared to him. Man, the Lord never appears to me. 

11:03 - Husband (Host)
I know right After that he appeared all the time back then. 

11:06 - Wife (Host)
I know. After that Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country with Bethel, to the west and to the east. I want to say it just like that it's spelled A-I-I-E. That sounds yeah. 

11:20 - Husband (Host)
A-I-E. 

11:23 - Wife (Host)
There he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord. 

11:28 - Husband (Host)
These are probably the altars where they sacrifice stuff. Huh yeah. 

11:31 - Wife (Host)
Worship and sacrifice. Worship and sacrifice. Right Abram continued traveling south by stages toward the Negev. Negev Nejiv. I don't know, I have no idea either. Yeah, okay, so here we start. Abram in Egypt is not a new chapter, just a new part of the story Right. Well, I saw your finger getting ready to get that pause button? 

11:54 - Husband (Host)
No, it was nowhere near it actually. 

11:55 - Wife (Host)
Okay, well, we'll see Abram in Egypt. Oh, I lost my place. Oh, no, I lost my Abram. 

12:05 - Husband (Host)
I can't lose Abram, I lost. 

12:07 - Wife (Host)
Abram. Okay, there he is. 

12:08 - Husband (Host)
He's in Egypt. 

12:11 - Wife (Host)
I accidentally clicked on one of the little verse numbers I saw. At that time, a severe famine struck the land of Canaan, forcing Abram to go down to Egypt, where he lived as a foreigner, you foreigner. 

12:22 - Husband (Host)
So wait, wait. I thought God promised that if he went to Canaan that he'd be like a rock star, pseudo, like famous guy. And now he's being forced to go down to Egypt because famine. 

12:33 - Wife (Host)
Dude, I don't know if they had GPS. 

12:35 - Husband (Host)
I think God's a liar. 

12:37 - Wife (Host)
Maybe God lied, or maybe they read the map wrong, I don't know. 

12:41 - Ad (Ad)
I can't tell you. 

12:43 - Wife (Host)
As he was approaching the border of Egypt, abram said to his wife Sarai look, you are a very beautiful woman. When the Egyptians see you they will say this is his wife. Let's kill him, then we can have her. I mean when? You got a good people when you got to assume that's what's going to happen. You know that you are not living in good times. Right and like I mean they're going to say she's so pretty, let's kill him. 

13:09 - Husband (Host)
It only took a few generations, apparently, to get back to shitty people again. 

13:12 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, yeah, nobody learns, sounds familiar. 

13:15 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

13:16 - Wife (Host)
So please tell them you are my sister. How does that help? Because then they could just rape her without killing him, instead of killing him and then raping her. 

13:26 - Husband (Host)
Oh, so it's okay if she gets raped? Yeah, I mean, she's pretty, she doesn't die, she's going to get raped regardless. Okay. 

13:32 - Wife (Host)
As long as I mean. 

13:33 - Husband (Host)
Raper's going to rape. 

13:34 - Wife (Host)
Raper's going to rape and potatoes going to potate and haters going to hate. 

13:40 - Husband (Host)
Okay. 

13:41 - Wife (Host)
And I mean the question is not whether she's going to get raped, it's whether dude is going to live or die. 

13:48 - Husband (Host)
Right, and you know those men's, they're important. 

13:51 - Wife (Host)
I mean, according to this, men are just mere Beasts. You know, they can't help themselves right, but they're also very important. 

14:00 - Husband (Host)
They're much more important than the women. 

14:02 - Wife (Host)
They're important beasts, yeah, so please tell them you are my sister, then they will spare my life and treat me well because of their interest in you. That's what he thinks. I don't know if that's a good plan, but it doesn't sound like it's solid right? 

14:18 - Husband (Host)
I don't think I, I don't think I take you on a trip where I knew somebody was gonna rape you. 

14:23 - Wife (Host)
I mean, maybe he thinks that they won't rape her Mmm, but it seems like it doesn't seem like that's what he thinks, but you know, maybe I'm wrong. Let's just live here, dude, and I think you would be late. Yeah, that's a good, solid plan, right? 

14:36 - Husband (Host)
I mean famine or rape. Let's just, let's go with famine. Yeah, I'm good with famine. 

14:41 - Wife (Host)
I appreciate that in you. Thank you, husband. 

14:43 - Husband (Host)
No problem, wife. 

14:45 - Wife (Host)
And sure enough. Oh, we were wrong. Apparently it was a solid plan, and sure enough. When Abram arrived in Egypt, everyone noticed Sarai's beauty. When the palace officials saw her, they sang her praises to Pharaoh, their king, and Sarai was taken into his palace. Then Pharaoh gave Abram many gifts because of her sheep, goats, cattle, male and female Donkeys, male and female servants and camels. 

15:10 - Husband (Host)
It doesn't say they didn't rape her. It doesn't say that they didn't and they're giving them an awful lot of gifts. 

15:15 - Wife (Host)
Let me ask you this where it says servants, do you think that we could replace that with the word slave? Well, yeah because if you're giving somebody a person, yeah, the property that's a slave. Yeah. So why don't they just say slave instead of sir? 

15:27 - Husband (Host)
because the Bible is not that progressive. Yet. 

15:29 - Wife (Host)
Oh, okay, not even this translation, no, okay, well, that'd be like a Bible that we wrote. 

15:36 - Husband (Host)
Yeah, that would be a Bible that somebody that is not a Christian wrote, because you can't. You can't say that there were slaves. 

15:42 - Wife (Host)
Well, I can and. I am saying. You know what? Henceforth, every time I see the word servant, I'm going to replace it with slave. I'll probably make a note as I do so, but I am anti slave and I'm also anti whitewashing history. 

15:57 - Husband (Host)
I would hope most people that are listening to this are anti slave. 

16:00 - Wife (Host)
Most people that are listening to this, yes, but there are too many who are not anti slave and I don't like those people. 

16:07 - Husband (Host)
I don't know Okay. 

16:08 - Wife (Host)
They're poopy. All right, you should all be anti slave right for sure and whitewashing history. 

16:16 - Husband (Host)
We're not for whitewashing. 

16:17 - Wife (Host)
You should be anti whitewashing. 

16:19 - Husband (Host)
Sorry, I was just making sure that was clear. 

16:23 - Wife (Host)
Yes, let us not whitewash history and let us say slave where they mean slave, but they say something else right oh side note. Yeah. 

16:32 - Husband (Host)
Jesus was brown. 

16:34 - Wife (Host)
He was brown. He was brown. He was not white. I don't care what you try to tell me exactly. We're not at that part of the book. 

16:41 - Husband (Host)
That's the new but I just want to throw that out there real quick. 

16:43 - Wife (Host)
But yeah, it's worth saying right, okay. So if you wondered where we stand before you kick us to the curb, you should know that. 

16:51 - Husband (Host)
Jesus be brown. 

16:52 - Wife (Host)
Jesus be brown? I'm not. No, Jesus was definitely brown for sure. Okay, but the Lord sent terrible plagues upon Pharaoh and his household because of Sarai Abrams wife. So basically the Lord was like bitch, you're too pretty for the Pharaoh, get out, abram, take your wife and get. I don't understand why is the Lord mad at Pharaoh? 

17:16 - Husband (Host)
Probably cuz he's raping his wife cuz he's raping Abrams wife yeah and Abram was, like you know, God's dude. 

17:23 - Wife (Host)
Okay, that's true, I'm so confused. So Pharaoh summoned Abram and accused him sharply. So basically, if you ever have a plague on you like what we have now, Mm-hmm. You should definitely assume it's personal and that God is getting you well, he came down and talked to them back in those days. But did he talk to Pharaoh? 

17:45 - Husband (Host)
Why doesn't say that he cursed him? 

17:48 - Wife (Host)
But okay, but God did not come talk to Pharaoh right. So Pharaoh is just assuming well, there's a pox on me. So clearly God is pissed and it must be Abrams fault. And so he said Abram, what have you done to me? He demanded. Why didn't you tell me she was your wife? Whoa, that was a leap right, they never said that. 

18:08 - Husband (Host)
He said that is how did he figure? 

18:10 - Wife (Host)
that out. God must have told him right. Why did you say she is my sister and allow me to take her as my wife? 

18:17 - Husband (Host)
See, I told you there are some, oh that is rape right there. 

18:20 - Wife (Host)
That is some serious ass rape told you Abrams. Oh. 

18:24 - Husband (Host)
Completely okay, cuz he took lots of gifts for this. 

18:26 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, poor Sarai right. And she had no choice one way or the other women had it shitty back then. Oh, I'm, this is not okay right. Now, then here's your wife. Take her and get out of here, gtfo bitch, and take your box with you. Pharaoh ordered some of his men to escort them, and he sent Abram out of the country along with his wife and all his Possessions well, at least he let him keep all his possessions that he gave him, my guess and his raped ass wife. 

18:55 - Husband (Host)
Right, so he got out of that pretty good, I guess. 

18:56 - Wife (Host)
Abram did get out of that pretty good. Yeah all right, but still I'm sorry for Sarai. Yeah, that's shitty and I'm sorry if I'm saying her name wrong, but I think God's kind of shitty too. Mm-hmm. I mean like I don't know if you've got the power to let somebody not get raped and you're like I'm just gonna see how this plays out when he also visits sometimes. 

19:16 - Husband (Host)
Why didn't he just come down, big dudes, just let this guy pass and I won't screw with you. 

19:21 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, exactly, you know. No boxes. Abram was his dude right? 

19:24 - Husband (Host)
Yeah, he's like I'm gonna make you famous, dude. 

19:27 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, I'm gonna make you famous, but along the way your wife's gonna get a lot of raping right. I mean what Stupid this story is dumb. Okay, that's the end of that chapter. 

19:37 - Husband (Host)
All right, we'll see you chapter 13 in just a minute. 

19:39 - Wife (Host)
I can't wait to see what happens. You, okay? Genesis, chapter 13. 

19:51 - Husband (Host)
Oh right, lucky 13. 

19:54 - Wife (Host)
Abram and Lot separate. Are you ready? 

19:56 - Husband (Host)
Okay. 

19:57 - Wife (Host)
So Abram left Egypt and traveled north into the Negev, along with his wife and Lot and all that they owned, including those servants which are actually slaves. 

20:11 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

20:13 - Wife (Host)
Abram was very rich in livestock, silver and gold. 

20:16 - Husband (Host)
Because he let his wife be raped a lot. 

20:19 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, and taken as a wife by the pharaoh. 

20:22 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

20:23 - Wife (Host)
My wife is so beautiful, I sold her ass for all these jewels. Look at me and he's in God's favor. Right right, that says a lot about a God, I think. 

20:34 - Husband (Host)
Was this how he was supposed to get rich and famous? 

20:37 - Wife (Host)
Who knows? But, I don't appreciate it. 

20:39 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

20:40 - Wife (Host)
So from the Negev they continued traveling by stages toward Bethel and they pitched their tents. Eh, pitched their tents between. I know I'm so dirty, but I can't hear pitch the tent without thinking naughty things Right. Sorry, they pitched their tents between Bethel and A'aii, where they had camped before. This was the same place where Abram had built the altar, remember. 

21:04 - Husband (Host)
Yeah. 

21:06 - Wife (Host)
And there he worshiped the Lord again. 

21:08 - Husband (Host)
By sacrificing shit. By sacrificing shit More than likely. Yeah, it's an altar. Yeah, that's what you do, right? 

21:15 - Wife (Host)
And also probably burning some incense. 

21:17 - Husband (Host)
They did that a lot, I think, you think Probably they had incense back then. Well, yeah, they were probably more like sage or something, right? 

21:23 - Wife (Host)
Or some plant that's lit on fire. I mean some kind of smelly good. Some kind of smelly good yum-yums. Okay, I don't know, I'm just assuming. Well, the Lord liked the smell of burnt flesh, so that nasty Lot, who was traveling with Abram, had also become very wealthy with flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle and many tents. But the land could not support both Abram and Lot with all their flocks and herds. 

21:49 - Husband (Host)
Living so close together Must have been a lot of shit. 

21:53 - Wife (Host)
Could you imagine having so many animals that you're like? Okay, our animals are eating too much grass. 

22:00 - Husband (Host)
And there's that many and like. Is it just the two of them taking care of them? 

22:03 - Wife (Host)
Yes and the slaves. 

22:05 - Husband (Host)
Oh, that's right, they got slaves. 

22:06 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, I'm sorry servants, my bad, whatever they were. Slaves, yeah. But the land could not support blah, blah, blah blah. So disputes broke out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. My slave's going to be your slave. Up At that time, canaanites and Parasites were also living in the land. Oh, so there's also these other people around it Right. 

22:31 - Husband (Host)
So it wasn't just their herds that was taking out resources, it was all these other people, right the aides. 

22:36 - Wife (Host)
The aides. Finally, Abram said to Lot let's not allow this conflict to come between us or our herdsmen. After all, we are close relatives. The whole countryside is open to you. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then I'll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I'll go to the left. 

23:00 - Husband (Host)
If you spin around, wouldn't it be the opposite way? 

23:02 - Wife (Host)
Well, I think that. I mean, I think he's trying to be reasonable. 

23:07 - Husband (Host)
Right, I mean it sounds reasonable. I'm just saying it's vague to say left and right. 

23:11 - Wife (Host)
You think they'd use like east and west, or well, okay, but if he's standing there like facing him and he's got his hands out, then you know the person that he's talking to can see which way he's saying like you want the right, I'll take the left. 

23:24 - Husband (Host)
It's reminding me of that REM song stand and the place where you were. 

23:31 - Wife (Host)
I mean, they could just as well of saying that and their decision that way. 

23:35 - Husband (Host)
I think that would have been better. 

23:37 - Wife (Host)
Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley in the direction of Zor Zor Zor, I don't know. Sure the whole area was well watered everywhere, like the Garden of the Lord or the beautiful land of Egypt. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. 

23:55 - Husband (Host)
It's funny they mentioned Egypt to this is like well you know, nice land, but I always think of Egypt as like dry, desert Desert yeah. 

24:03 - Wife (Host)
I think it's funny that they're mentioning, you know, how the God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and it's like no, we haven't fucking got to that part of the story yet. 

24:12 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

24:12 - Wife (Host)
Like again bad storytelling. Yeah, lot chose for himself the whole Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle, abram. So Abram settled in the land of Canaan and Lot moved his tents to a place near Sodom and settled among the cities of the plain. But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord. After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram look as far as you can see in every direction, north and south, east and west. I am giving all this land as far as you can see to you and your descendants as a permanent possession. Doesn't that seem like? 

24:56 - Husband (Host)
the Canaanites were already there. 

24:58 - Wife (Host)
I know, but I was thinking doesn't that seem like the Lion King? When Simba's like look as far as you can see all the pride lands, these are all yours. 

25:10 - Husband (Host)
I mean like, but possession is in the Bible, I know. God was giving possessions to people of land. 

25:17 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, like that people were already living on it was always so much more appealing to me. 

25:21 - Husband (Host)
Like the Native American, think like where you know. You take from the land what you need and that's it. 

25:28 - Wife (Host)
And you don't own the land. You don't own the land Right. You live on the land and with the land and among the land Right. 

25:34 - Husband (Host)
I always liked that so much better. 

25:36 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, me too. 

25:37 - Husband (Host)
I think our God had it wrong. 

25:38 - Wife (Host)
I think God had it wrong. I think God. I don't think that we were made in God's image. I think God was made in man's image. 

25:47 - Husband (Host)
Yeah. 

25:48 - Wife (Host)
And I don't think that God exists, because well, yeah, that's gross. 

25:52 - Husband (Host)
I mean, we made that clear, right so. 

25:54 - Wife (Host)
But I'm just saying yeah, like there's no way that I could ever believe in a God who cherishes um possessions and land and the raping of women and the sacrificing of animals. 

26:10 - Husband (Host)
Right, I mean God sounds like the worst of us. 

26:12 - Wife (Host)
He does. He sounds like a terrible, terrible person. 

26:16 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

26:16 - Wife (Host)
He sounds like Trump. What? 

26:19 - Husband (Host)
Well, it's funny to me. Like you know, I think of God as like the capitalist assholes that take all that they can, and I think of Jesus kind of as like the socialist revolutionist. 

26:30 - Wife (Host)
Yeah, yeah, isn't that funny. And they're supposed to be like the same Right, right, it's the same it's the same quote, unquote religion sort of kind of whatever you know there's they're supposed to be the same entity, right, different versions that appeal to different parts of us, but like there is absolutely no part of this God that appeals to me in any way whatsoever, no no. And I don't understand. Like, even if God changes and does things differently through Jesus, I'm like, but you still did these other horrible things that to me are unforgivable. 

27:04 - Husband (Host)
Definitely. 

27:05 - Wife (Host)
So I don't know. It's a good thing. I'm not a God. 

27:09 - Husband (Host)
Right. 

27:10 - Wife (Host)
And I will give you so many descendants like that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted. Go and walk through the land in every direction, for I'm giving it to you. So Abram moved his camp to Hebron and walked near the oak grove belonging to Mamre. There he built another altar to the Lord. Yeah, I guess, if God is giving you like all that stuff, that you would build another altar and kill some more animals and be like, oh yeah he's like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

27:43
Yeah, just this whole thing is grotesque. Yeah, I'm glad that's the end of that chapter, yep, but unfortunately I think there will be more to come in future, chapters that will disgust me further. 

27:55 - Husband (Host)
Well, yeah, I'm quite certain of it, because it seems to be the going theme, I know. 

28:00 - Wife (Host)
I just was hoping that, as we read through this, that I would discover that my preconceptions were wrong and misplaced and that there would be some loveliness and maybe there will be further. But so far Genesis is like trash. Why would our preconceptions be wrong, like there. 

28:15 - Husband (Host)
these stories are so prevalent in society and so prevalent in our world that we're bound to know them well enough to know the basis and the basics of this religion and where it's based from. So our preconceptions are probably, more often than not, fairly accurate. I would say, I mean, you're right, you're right. 

28:37 - Wife (Host)
I just I was hoping that there would be some kind of redeeming value, some kind of beauty in it that had escaped the narrative part. You know that I only knew about the grotesque parts and that I would read through this and be impressed with it and be like, yes, but all these beautiful things, and thus far it's just trash. I'm just disappointed. So not this week maybe next week. Stay tuned. 

29:01 - Husband (Host)
