Status Updates From Genesis, KJV (Bible)

Started Joseph’s story - being sold into slavery and the first few dream interpretation stuff. Good material. Joseph was always my favorite part of Genesis, and that still holds true now.

The implicit moral of trusting God through hardship is such a relevant one for me this year, so it might be I enjoy Joseph EVEN MORE as I continue on and finish Genesis through the week/end.

Jacob's sons have now been born and he has returned to reconcile with Esau, yayyyyyy.

(Also the wrestling with God and name-change to Israel occur, which may also be notable XD)

The dynamics of the Isaac + Rebekah story and how that plays into the start of the Jacob vs. Esau story are really odd and interesting....

It's crazy how easy the story of Lot (and his family) and Sodom and Gomorrah can be forgotten, despite how iconic some of those moments are. Lot's story in particular is really quite tragic, though he is hardly innocent or blameless in it.

Furthermore, got to see the birth of Isaac and the promise of nations coming thenceforth through him. It will be time for me to take on that story next week!
