1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800 Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,760 in a year. 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,880 Yesterday we heard about how God delivered Jacob from the hands of his uncle Laban and 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,800 from the hands of his brother Esau and how God reconciled him. 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,400 And we also heard about how God prospered Jacob and gave him a lot of possessions and 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,480 many sons and he actually had one daughter, her name was Dina. 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,520 And today we're going to hear a little bit more about her and we're also going to hear 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,640 about Benjamin, Jacob's last son from Rachel. 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,000 Alright, let's begin. 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000 Today's reading is from Genesis chapters 34 to 36. 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Chapter 34. 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,960 Now Dina, the daughter of Leah, whom she had born to Jacob, went out to see the daughters 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,960 of the land. 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,360 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hevite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560 and lay with her and violated her. 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,880 His soul was strongly attracted to Dina, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young 17 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,640 woman and spoke kindly to the young woman. 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,060 So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor saying, get me this young woman as a wife. 19 00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:11,920 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dina his daughter. 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,300 Now his sons were with his livestock in the field. 21 00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:17,900 So Jacob held his peace until they came. 22 00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:21,920 Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him. 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,440 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it, and the men were grieved 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,600 and very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,840 a thing which ought not to be done. 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,520 But Hamor spoke with them saying, the soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,320 Please give her to him as a wife and make marriages with us. 28 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:47,480 Give your daughters to us and take our daughters to yourselves, so you shall dwell with us 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,880 and the land shall be before you. 30 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,480 Dwell and trade in it and acquire possessions for yourselves in it. 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,480 you say to me I will give. 33 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Ask me ever so much dowry and gift and I will give according to what you say to me, but 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,160 give me the young woman as a wife. 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,160 But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father and spoke deceitfully because 36 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,300 he had defiled Dina their sister. 37 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:19,840 And they said to them, we cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240 for that would be a reproach to us. 39 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,020 But on this condition we will consent to you. 40 00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:30,280 If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised, then we will give our 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,400 daughters to you and we will take your daughters to us and we will dwell with you and we will 42 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,000 become one people. 43 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,240 But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone. 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,740 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son, so the young man did not delay 45 00:02:47,740 --> 00:02:51,520 to do the thing because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. 46 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,240 He was more honorable than all the household of his father. 47 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,440 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city and spoke with the men 48 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,780 of their city saying, these men are at peace with us, therefore let them dwell in the land 49 00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:08,920 and trade in it, for indeed the land is large enough for them. 50 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,640 Let us take their daughters to us as wives and let us give them our daughters. 51 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:18,480 Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people. 52 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,280 If every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised, will not their livestock, 53 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,360 their property and every animal of theirs be ours? 54 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,580 Only let us consent to them and they will dwell with us. 55 00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:36,320 And all who went out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son. 56 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,040 Every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. 57 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,280 Now it came to pass on the third day when they were in pain that two of the sons of 58 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,080 Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the 59 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,080 city and killed all the males. 60 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,720 And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword and took Dinah 61 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,040 from Shechem's house and went out. 62 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,800 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city because their sister had 63 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,180 been defiled. 64 00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:09,720 They took their sheep, their oxen and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was 65 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,100 in the field. 66 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:15,880 And all their wealth, all their little ones and their wives they took captive and they 67 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,320 plundered even all that was in the houses. 68 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,920 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, you have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the 69 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,840 inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 70 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:33,080 And since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. 71 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,160 I shall be destroyed, my household and I. 72 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,720 But they said, should he treat our sister like a harlot? 73 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,360 Chapter 35. 74 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,160 Then God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there, and make an altar there to 75 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,960 God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother. 76 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,320 And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, put away the foreign gods 77 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,480 that are among you, purify yourselves and change your garments. 78 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,520 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered 79 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,800 me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone. 80 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,640 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which 81 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,260 were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the Terabinth tree which was by Shechem. 82 00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:26,600 And they journeyed and the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, 83 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,200 and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 84 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,080 So Jacob came to Luz, that is Bethel, which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people 85 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,680 who were with him, and he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,820 God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. 87 00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:48,840 Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the Terabinth 88 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:53,440 tree, so the name of it was called Alon Bakuth. 89 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan Aram and blessed him, and God 90 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,680 said to him, your name is Jacob, your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel 91 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,200 shall be your name. 92 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,280 So he called his name Israel. 93 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:14,200 Also God said to him, I am God Almighty, be fruitful and multiply, a nation and a company 94 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,960 of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. 95 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,360 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you, and to your descendants after 96 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,480 you, I give this land. 97 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,720 Then God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 98 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,400 So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, a pillar of stone, and 99 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,440 he poured the drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it, and Jacob called the name 100 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,000 of the place where God spoke with him Bethel. 101 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,280 Then they journeyed from Bethel, and when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrathah, 102 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:53,440 Rachel labored in childbirth, and it happened when Israel dwelt in that land that Reuben 103 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,080 went and lay with Bela. 104 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,120 His father's concubine and Israel heard about it. 105 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,200 Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. 106 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:08,760 The sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. 107 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,960 The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin. 108 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,880 The sons of Bela, Rachel's maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali. 109 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,300 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant, were Gad and Asher. 110 00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:25,760 These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram. 111 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre or Kirjas Arba, that is Hebron, where Abraham 112 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,360 and Isaac had dwelt. 113 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years, so Isaac breathed his last and 114 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,620 died and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days, and his sons Isa and 115 00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:47,980 Jacob buried him. 116 00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:50,200 Chapter 36 117 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,360 Now this is the genealogy of Isa who is Edom. 118 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,000 Isa took his wives from the daughters of Canaan. 119 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,720 Adah the daughter of Elan the Hittite, Aholibama the daughter of Anna, the daughter of Zibia 120 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:13,400 and the Hivite, and Basimat, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebuchadnezzar. 121 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:21,960 And Ahadah bore Eliphaz to Isa, and Basimat bore Raoel, and Aholibama bore Jehosh, Jalam 122 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,280 and Korah. 123 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,520 These were the sons of Isa who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 124 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,560 Then Isa took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his 125 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:37,920 cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, 126 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,240 and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob, for their possessions 127 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,640 were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could 128 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,320 not support them because of their livestock. 129 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,360 So Isa dwelt in Mount Seir. 130 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,400 Isa is Edom. 131 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,840 And this is the genealogy of Isa the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir. 132 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,840 These were the names of Isa's sons. 133 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:05,840 Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Isa, and Raoel the son of Basimat the wife of Isa. 134 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,560 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zefu, Gattam, and Kinaz. 135 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:17,840 Now Temna was the concubine of Eliphaz Isa's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. 136 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,160 These were the sons of Adah Isa's wife. 137 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,800 These were the sons of Raoel, Nahath, Zehra, Shama, and Meza. 138 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,980 These were the sons of Basimat Isa's wife. 139 00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:35,720 These were the sons of Aholi-Bama Isa's wife, the daughter of Ana, the daughter of Zibian. 140 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,800 And she bore to Isa, Jeosh, Jalam, and Korah. 141 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,440 These were the chiefs of the sons of Isa. 142 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,480 The sons of Eliphaz, the first born son of Isa, were chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zefu, 143 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,120 and chief Kinaz. 144 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,480 Chief Korah, chief Gattam, and chief Amalek. 145 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,880 These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. 146 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,960 They were the sons of Adah. 147 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,160 These were the sons of Raoel, Isa's son, chief Nahath, chief Zehra, chief Shama, and 148 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,680 chief Meza. 149 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:09,380 These were the chiefs of Raoel in the land of Edom. 150 00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:12,560 These were the sons of Basimat, Isa's wife. 151 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:18,520 And these were the sons of Aholi-Bama, Isa's wife, chief Jeosh, chief Jalam, and chief 152 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,900 Korah. 153 00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:25,320 These were the chiefs who descended from Aholi-Bama, Isa's wife, the daughter of Ana. 154 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,040 These were the sons of Isa, who is Edom. 155 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,360 And these were the chiefs. 156 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,360 These were the sons of Seir, the Horite, who inhabited the land. 157 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:41,240 Lotan, Shobel, Zibian, Ana, Dishon, Ezra, and Dishan. 158 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,000 These were the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. 159 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,640 And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemem. 160 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,440 Lotan's sister was Timna. 161 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:58,640 These were the sons of Shobel, Alvan, Manahath, Ibal, Shefu, and Unam. 162 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,600 These were the sons of Zibian, both Aja and Ana. 163 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,200 This was the Ana who found the water in the wilderness as he pastured the donkeys of his 164 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120 father Zibian. 165 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,440 These were the children of Ana, Dishon, and Aholi-Bama, the daughter of Ana. 166 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,560 These were the sons of Dishon, Hemdan, Ishban, Ithran, and Shiran. 167 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:25,520 These were the sons of Ezra, Belan, Zaafan, and Akan. 168 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,300 These were the sons of Dishan, Uuz, and Aran. 169 00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:35,320 These were the chiefs of the Horites, chief Lotan, chief Shobel, chief Zibian, chief Ana, 170 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,960 chief Dishon, chief
