Gen 49: Jacob was very weird with his blessings. Idk I haven’t read the Old Testament in so long. As a kid all of this just seemed like it was normal or how it should be. But honestly Jacob does not seem like a holy or like godly man. From the beginning he was stealing from his own brother lying to him and then wishing poor things on his own sons. Idk man.

Gen 48: dang I wonder what’s going on with all the second born stuff. Jacob choosing to bless the second born more is interesting

Gen 47: I kinda don’t like how Joseph accepted peoples land and accepted them into servitude

Gen 46: it’s so good seeing Jacob and Joseph reunite. Joseph is a good guy

Gen 44-45: bro I know it was killing Joseph not telling them. But the outlook he had on life to not hate his brothers and thank god for allowing him to save people is great

Gen 42-43: I really loved how in these chapters Joseph first wants to confirm they didn’t kill his other brother. And then see if these are good and honorable man. He is giving them an opportunity to make up for their sins. Very cool stories.

Gen 41: very cool how by giving credit to god in everything that Joseph has done he has continued to gain benefits and favor everywhere he goes. He became the second most important person in Egypt that’s nuts

Gen 40: the cup bearer and the baker is an interesting story. Nice to finally be getting stuff like I remember and not just lineage in the bible.

Gen 39: Dang man Joseph is surrounded by evil people. Everywhere he goes he is being lied on and done so horribly. But everywhere he goes he is loved by most. It stinks

Gen 38: lowkey didn’t follow really what this story was trying to say Or do. But basically this dude banged his sisters wife god told him to give her a son. Instead he pulled out so he died. Then the widower was basically a prostitute to a powerful man
