Roger Lewis – Class 3: Why were the Bones of Joseph Buried at Shechem

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:03,600
this one is an interesting one
because well Genesis chapter 50

2
00:00:03,600 –> 00:00:09,000
in those last few verses, are
they start a journey really,

3
00:00:09,000 –> 00:00:15,700
which begins a set of Bible
passages, which Bible meditation

4
00:00:15,800 –> 00:00:19,900
is all about The funny thing is,
you start in a place in

5
00:00:19,900 –> 00:00:22,300
scripture, brothers and sisters
and suddenly there’s a whole lot

6
00:00:22,300 –> 00:00:24,500
of streams that come together.
Are they not?

7
00:00:26,800 –> 00:00:29,300
I think it was rather Harry.
Tina that said that when you

8
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:33,200
find what you think might be a
golden thread, give it a good

9
00:00:33,200 –> 00:00:36,700
pull because you never know what
other verses will move when you

10
00:00:36,700 –> 00:00:41,100
do so and it’s in the finding of
those Golden Threads, perhaps

11
00:00:41,100 –> 00:00:45,400
more than anything else.
That we know that this is the

12
00:00:45,400 –> 00:00:51,400
inspired word of God.
So, our study begins with this

13
00:00:51,400 –> 00:00:56,400
matter of Joseph’s, impending
death here in chapter 15 and

14
00:00:56,400 –> 00:01:00,700
verse 24.
Joseph said, unto his Brethren,

15
00:01:00,700 –> 00:01:03,600
I die.
I’m about to die says the

16
00:01:03,600 –> 00:01:07,200
revised Standard Version, but in
the context of knowing that

17
00:01:07,200 –> 00:01:10,500
their death was coming upon him,
he said, nevertheless, God will

18
00:01:10,500 –> 00:01:13,300
surely, visit you, and bring you
out of the sling?

19
00:01:13,500 –> 00:01:16,100
Now, here’s the question.
Where did Joseph have that

20
00:01:16,100 –> 00:01:19,400
conviction from that?
God would surely visit them.

21
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:23,000
Well, actually it’s what his
father had told them, because if

22
00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:27,100
you come back to Genesis chapter
46, we’re told this just a few

23
00:01:27,100 –> 00:01:33,100
chapters earlier.
And this is, of course, after

24
00:01:33,100 –> 00:01:38,900
the meeting of Jacob, with his
son, Genesis 46, season verses 3

25
00:01:38,900 –> 00:01:43,300
and 4.
He said, I am God the god of thy

26
00:01:43,300 –> 00:01:45,300
father, fear, not to go down to
Egypt for.

27
00:01:45,300 –> 00:01:49,100
I will make the make of thee, a
great nation, I will go down

28
00:01:49,100 –> 00:01:54,000
with the into Egypt and I will
also surely bring the up again.

29
00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:57,700
Joseph shall put his hand upon
thine eyes and that phrase that

30
00:01:57,800 –> 00:02:00,700
I will surely We bring them up
out of the Elder.

31
00:02:00,700 –> 00:02:04,900
Circumstances of Jacob’s own
education is part of the

32
00:02:04,900 –> 00:02:07,900
substance of Joseph’s words
here.

33
00:02:07,900 –> 00:02:12,000
In Genesis chapter 50.
But I think Joseph was thinking

34
00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:15,700
of another episode as well in
his family’s history that shaped

35
00:02:15,700 –> 00:02:17,900
his thinking we shocked ended
up.

36
00:02:17,900 –> 00:02:20,300
But you know what?
Well it’s Genesis chapter 15

37
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:23,700
verses 13 to 16.
Do you remember when God said to

38
00:02:23,700 –> 00:02:28,500
Abraham know of a certainty that
thy seed shall be a stranger in

39
00:02:28,500 –> 00:02:31,400
a land?
And that is not theirs and

40
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:35,200
afterwards, shall they come out?
Remember with great substance in

41
00:02:35,200 –> 00:02:38,100
the fourth generation, they
shall come to their again, was

42
00:02:38,100 –> 00:02:41,800
the promise of God to Abraham in
Genesis 15 think that promise

43
00:02:41,800 –> 00:02:46,000
has been passed through the
family, Joseph had her dead so

44
00:02:46,000 –> 00:02:50,400
Joseph about to die himself.
And here’s the interesting

45
00:02:50,400 –> 00:02:54,700
thing, knew that when Abraham
was told that they would be

46
00:02:54,700 –> 00:02:58,300
brought out again.
It says that they would first

47
00:02:58,300 –> 00:03:03,400
serve the nation and to which
they did come and be under great

48
00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:07,700
Affliction.
They would be in servitude for a

49
00:03:07,700 –> 00:03:11,900
long period of time.
And when Joseph’s dying here in

50
00:03:11,900 –> 00:03:16,900
Genesis chapter 50, he knew that
the time of bondage and

51
00:03:16,900 –> 00:03:20,900
servitude had not even yet begun
a long time.

52
00:03:20,900 –> 00:03:24,200
Still stretched out ahead of the
nation before, they would return

53
00:03:24,200 –> 00:03:26,300
to the land, and it would be so
easy.

54
00:03:26,300 –> 00:03:29,700
Once Joseph died to forget the
promises and Joseph was

55
00:03:29,700 –> 00:03:32,900
determined that his people would
not forget what God had

56
00:03:32,900 –> 00:03:35,500
promised.
And these words and Genesis

57
00:03:35,500 –> 00:03:38,100
chapter 15 and verse 24 are the
outcome of that.

58
00:03:38,100 –> 00:03:42,300
You see he wants to remind Find
his people in fact, so much.

59
00:03:42,300 –> 00:03:48,200
So that verse 25 of Genesis 50
Seekers and Joseph took an oath

60
00:03:48,200 –> 00:03:52,100
of the children of Israel
saying, God will surely visit

61
00:03:52,100 –> 00:03:55,900
you, and you shall carry out my
bones from from thins, he took

62
00:03:55,900 –> 00:04:00,600
an oath. now, brothers and
sisters, the only reason to take

63
00:04:00,600 –> 00:04:06,700
an oath about Your bones.
Is because we believe in a

64
00:04:06,708 –> 00:04:09,800
future Resurrection, you
wouldn’t take an oath about your

65
00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:13,000
bones for any other reason that
the you believe that those Burns

66
00:04:13,000 –> 00:04:17,200
had a future.
Would you, you took an oath

67
00:04:17,200 –> 00:04:20,700
about his bones and he said, God
will surely visit you?

68
00:04:20,707 –> 00:04:22,800
And he saw carry out my bones
from hints.

69
00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:27,100
Do you notice the parallel, by
the way, verse 24, God will

70
00:04:27,100 –> 00:04:31,300
surely visit and he shall bring
you out.

71
00:04:32,700 –> 00:04:37,300
Verse 25.
God will surely visit and you

72
00:04:37,300 –> 00:04:41,100
shall carry me up.
He said he wanted a journey with

73
00:04:41,100 –> 00:04:44,700
his Brethren.
God is going to bring you out

74
00:04:44,700 –> 00:04:49,800
this 24 but I want you to carry
me up verse 25 so he took an

75
00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:50,600
oath.
Don’t you forget?

76
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:54,400
Now he says and just see how
remarkable that’s through.

77
00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:57,600
It was well, you see what verse
26 years?

78
00:04:59,100 –> 00:05:01,300
Joseph died.
Being 110 years old and they

79
00:05:01,300 –> 00:05:03,500
embalmed him and he was put in a
coffin in Egypt.

80
00:05:03,800 –> 00:05:06,100
Now notice the first words in
verse 22.

81
00:05:06,100 –> 00:05:09,600
Joseph dwelt in Egypt and these
last words and verse 26 and he

82
00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:12,700
was put in a coffin in Egypt,
you see the reality brothers and

83
00:05:12,700 –> 00:05:17,500
sisters, the actual reality of
Joseph’s, life was he’d been the

84
00:05:17,500 –> 00:05:19,900
governor of all Egypt for 80
years.

85
00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:24,400
He guided and protected the
interests of the pharaoh of

86
00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:28,300
Egypt, he had Married, An
Egyptian wife, he’d witnessed

87
00:05:28,300 –> 00:05:31,100
three Nations of his family born
in Egypt.

88
00:05:31,100 –> 00:05:33,600
He spend 85% of his life in
Egypt.

89
00:05:33,600 –> 00:05:36,600
He was embalmed in a coffin in
Egypt and all he could think of

90
00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:42,300
was being taken back to Israel.
Yeah, there’s a spirit.

91
00:05:43,500 –> 00:05:48,400
You see no present circumstance
in his life ever deviated him

92
00:05:48,400 –> 00:05:51,500
for a moment, from his burning
Zeal to be linked to the

93
00:05:51,500 –> 00:05:55,200
promises made to the fathers and
to be found ready for their

94
00:05:55,200 –> 00:05:57,600
fulfillment by being buried in
the land of promise.

95
00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:03,600
You see his whom was in Egypt.
But his heart.

96
00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:09,400
Was in Israel.
And that should be a skirt.

97
00:06:11,300 –> 00:06:15,900
Wherever our home is.
Our hearts should be in the

98
00:06:15,900 –> 00:06:19,200
creature.
Our hearts should be towards the

99
00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:23,100
kingdom.
But Joseph is ever wanted to

100
00:06:23,100 –> 00:06:26,200
inspire his Brethren with his
hope.

101
00:06:26,600 –> 00:06:28,300
You see.
That’s really why did he didn’t?

102
00:06:28,300 –> 00:06:31,600
He didn’t make this request.
Notice of his own family, he

103
00:06:31,600 –> 00:06:34,600
took an oath of the nation.
When does worried about his own

104
00:06:34,600 –> 00:06:35,900
children?
He said, no, no, no, the whole

105
00:06:35,900 –> 00:06:38,400
nation, don’t you forget now the
promises of God.

106
00:06:39,600 –> 00:06:41,200
It’s a marvelous Spirit, really,
isn’t it?

107
00:06:41,207 –> 00:06:46,300
But ancestors, you see why this
is such a remarkable request is

108
00:06:46,300 –> 00:06:51,000
that?
Win, death draws nigh in any

109
00:06:51,000 –> 00:06:55,800
person’s life.
I need the most important things

110
00:06:55,800 –> 00:07:00,900
from a.
And this was Joseph’s dying,

111
00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:04,800
wish it related to his deepest
faith in his strongest desire,

112
00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:08,800
he wanted with all his heart to
be back in the land and to rest

113
00:07:08,800 –> 00:07:11,600
in peace in that place many
years would pass before.

114
00:07:11,600 –> 00:07:14,600
God would visit them.
But Joseph knew that it would

115
00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:20,400
come to pass.
And he wanted to make sure that

116
00:07:20,400 –> 00:07:24,300
when he was dead.
They would not forget.

117
00:07:26,500 –> 00:07:30,400
So he took a nose and that takes
us to Exodus chapter 13, does it

118
00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:32,700
not?
Because Exodus chapter 13 tells

119
00:07:32,700 –> 00:07:34,200
us about the performance of the
Earth.

120
00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:37,300
The remembrance of the Earth,
the accomplishment of the oath

121
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:41,200
that he had taken off them.
When the record tells us this in

122
00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:45,200
Exodus 13 at the very moment of
the departure of the children of

123
00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:49,900
Israel from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 13 verse 17 says it came

124
00:07:49,900 –> 00:07:53,300
to pass when Pharaoh had let the
people go.

125
00:07:53,600 –> 00:07:55,500
That God.
LED them not through the way of

126
00:07:55,500 –> 00:07:59,600
the land of the Philistines.
Although that was near for God

127
00:07:59,600 –> 00:08:02,200
said, lest peradventure the
people repent when they see war

128
00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:05,700
and they returned to Egypt.
So you see the direction of the

129
00:08:05,700 –> 00:08:09,500
Wilderness Journey was chosen by
God not Moses.

130
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:13,300
And he did it by means of the
guidance of the fire and the

131
00:08:13,300 –> 00:08:15,300
cloud.
You see, God knew the elec of

132
00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:17,600
Faith.
He knew that time was needed to

133
00:08:17,600 –> 00:08:22,500
develop that Spirit within them.
No Verse 18, see is that, by

134
00:08:22,500 –> 00:08:26,300
Divine intention.
God led the people about through

135
00:08:26,300 –> 00:08:29,600
the way of the Wilderness of the
Red Sea, which is very

136
00:08:29,600 –> 00:08:32,500
interesting when you think about
it, because of instead, instead

137
00:08:32,500 –> 00:08:36,200
of leading Israel, in a
direction, where opposition lady

138
00:08:36,200 –> 00:08:39,900
just ahead, the land of the
Philistines, he guided them,

139
00:08:40,100 –> 00:08:44,300
Into a place where opposition
lay just behind.

140
00:08:46,700 –> 00:08:51,700
The imperative was to move
forward, not back.

141
00:08:53,900 –> 00:08:56,600
And the record says Verse 18,
the children of Israel went up,

142
00:08:56,600 –> 00:09:00,500
harnessed out of the land of
Egypt, harnessed from Roush, was

143
00:09:00,500 –> 00:09:04,400
the margin Sears and rightly.
So by 5 in a rank, it’s only

144
00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:06,900
used four times that word and
elsewhere, it’s always

145
00:09:06,900 –> 00:09:11,100
translated as armed.
It sort of Echoes, the meaning

146
00:09:11,100 –> 00:09:14,700
of Leviticus 26, verse 8, which
says five of you shall chase.

147
00:09:14,700 –> 00:09:18,500
Some hundred you see five men
were a basic military unit and

148
00:09:18,500 –> 00:09:22,800
what it tells us is that Israel
did not depart from Egypt as a

149
00:09:22,800 –> 00:09:24,500
disorganized.
His Rebel.

150
00:09:24,900 –> 00:09:28,800
They came out as an oddly host.
They came out armed for battle

151
00:09:28,800 –> 00:09:31,000
revised.
Standard Version says they came

152
00:09:31,000 –> 00:09:35,800
equipped for battle and marching
by 5’s, indicated order and

153
00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:39,700
control and discipline and a
sense of purpose when they came

154
00:09:39,700 –> 00:09:43,700
out of the land of Egypt by the
sisters, they marched, as an

155
00:09:43,700 –> 00:09:50,200
Ecclesia, in divine order.
And part of their sense of

156
00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:56,500
purpose.
Was what first 19’s is that, as

157
00:09:56,500 –> 00:10:01,500
they came Moses, took the bones
of Joseph with him.

158
00:10:03,200 –> 00:10:05,300
Yeah, the theme of Exodus
chapter 13.

159
00:10:05,300 –> 00:10:08,100
Incidentally is about the role
in the work of the firstborn.

160
00:10:08,400 –> 00:10:11,900
And Joseph stood related to the
firstborn promise and the story

161
00:10:11,900 –> 00:10:14,900
of his bones will be found in
the chapter, about the matters

162
00:10:14,900 –> 00:10:18,800
of firstborn things.
Now, when it says that they took

163
00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:21,200
the bones, who do you think
carried the bones of Joseph,

164
00:10:21,200 –> 00:10:23,200
their father?
Or I’ll give them the clue away,

165
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:26,300
haven’t I probably his own
household as own children.

166
00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:31,000
They marched just behind the
sons of kohath.

167
00:10:34,600 –> 00:10:40,400
The sons of Joseph.
And Co has board the Ark of God.

168
00:10:42,400 –> 00:10:44,500
But, you know, the very words
that are canned, numbers 3,

169
00:10:44,500 –> 00:10:47,900
verse 31, the numbers 4 verse 5
and elsewhere, but we weren’t

170
00:10:47,900 –> 00:10:53,800
for Arc, the KOA thoughts boar.
Is the same word for Joseph’s

171
00:10:54,000 –> 00:10:57,600
coffin.
Genesis 50 verse 26.

172
00:11:00,100 –> 00:11:03,400
There are actually two arks
being born in the midst of the

173
00:11:03,408 –> 00:11:07,100
tribes.
One had the tokens of a

174
00:11:07,100 –> 00:11:11,300
Resurrection Life.
And the other ball, the bones of

175
00:11:11,300 –> 00:11:14,800
a dead man.
Interesting, isn’t it brother

176
00:11:14,800 –> 00:11:18,800
and sisters?
Matt’s through the Journey with

177
00:11:18,800 –> 00:11:23,500
two arcs in the midst.
But the Journey Only begin with

178
00:11:23,500 –> 00:11:27,900
The Arc of Joseph.
The Arc of life would come

179
00:11:27,900 –> 00:11:34,000
later.
Life would come out of death,

180
00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:38,400
you see?
Well, whoever was responsible

181
00:11:38,400 –> 00:11:40,700
for the actual bearing of the
bones.

182
00:11:40,900 –> 00:11:44,600
The records clear that it was
Moses, really, who took them.

183
00:11:44,600 –> 00:11:47,700
Because that’s what verse 19
says that Moses took the bones

184
00:11:47,700 –> 00:11:51,100
of Joseph with him.
So he took chat, he looked after

185
00:11:51,100 –> 00:11:54,000
the matter of their
transportation and Moses did so

186
00:11:54,000 –> 00:11:56,200
because he considered that a
matter of national

187
00:11:56,200 –> 00:12:02,100
responsibility and because as
the record says that he Joseph

188
00:12:02,100 –> 00:12:04,900
and straightly sworn the
children of Israel saying.

189
00:12:05,100 –> 00:12:08,300
God I will surely visit you and
you shall carry up my bones

190
00:12:08,300 –> 00:12:09,900
away.
Hints with you.

191
00:12:10,200 –> 00:12:15,100
He had straightened lease.
Warn the children of Israel is

192
00:12:15,108 –> 00:12:17,500
he, the native nation was under
pledge.

193
00:12:18,700 –> 00:12:22,300
Joseph wanted to Journey with
his people and his belief in the

194
00:12:22,300 –> 00:12:25,600
resurrection and the hope of
inheritance and the land were

195
00:12:25,600 –> 00:12:30,200
firmly linked together.
So when it says in verse 21 of

196
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:34,100
that chapter, that the Lord went
before them by day, in a pillar,

197
00:12:34,100 –> 00:12:38,100
to lead them the way.
And by night in a pillar of fire

198
00:12:39,000 –> 00:12:43,800
to lead them by the, to give
them lied that this pillar of

199
00:12:44,100 –> 00:12:48,300
cloud and the pillar of fire
were the proof that God in.

200
00:12:48,600 –> 00:12:51,500
He’d had surely visited them.
He would be with them on this

201
00:12:51,500 –> 00:12:54,700
journey just as the bones of
Joseph gave witness to the same

202
00:12:54,700 –> 00:12:56,000
truth.
And so at the very least at the

203
00:12:56,000 –> 00:12:59,900
very time that the Exodus
begins, we’re told that the

204
00:12:59,908 –> 00:13:02,800
bones of Joseph, start the
journey with them.

205
00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:10,100
So the oath of the exact Genesis
chapter 50 or fruit, did it?

206
00:13:10,108 –> 00:13:11,900
Not?
And then takes us to the book of

207
00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:13,800
Hebrews chapter 11 because it
doesn’t Hebrew.

208
00:13:13,800 –> 00:13:17,400
Say something about those bones.
Hebrews 11 Min terms, this

209
00:13:17,400 –> 00:13:20,600
precise met at again.
Doesn’t not in a very

210
00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:24,400
interesting context.
Hebrews chapter 11 which of

211
00:13:24,400 –> 00:13:26,600
course is the honor roll of the
faithful.

212
00:13:26,900 –> 00:13:29,300
We’re told in Hebrews 11 and
verse 22.

213
00:13:29,300 –> 00:13:35,000
It says by faith Joseph when he
died made mention of the

214
00:13:35,400 –> 00:13:39,400
departing of the children of
Israel and gave commandment

215
00:13:39,400 –> 00:13:43,300
concerning his bones.
Well it says in the authorized

216
00:13:43,300 –> 00:13:48,000
version, he made mention about
the die, God sees he reminded

217
00:13:48,000 –> 00:13:51,400
the sons of Israel.
Robert him says concerning the

218
00:13:51,400 –> 00:13:55,400
Exodus of the sons of Israel.
Cold to remembrance and that’s

219
00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:59,500
certainly what the word means,
memorandum, manure, 0 means to

220
00:13:59,500 –> 00:14:03,400
call to mind.
So this was not just a mention,

221
00:14:03,700 –> 00:14:08,100
this was a specific recollection
to his people of an earlier

222
00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:09,800
promise, which had been made to
them.

223
00:14:09,800 –> 00:14:14,400
He deliberately brought it to
their remembrance see.

224
00:14:14,400 –> 00:14:16,700
Joseph, never forgot.
But he was worried about, is

225
00:14:16,700 –> 00:14:21,200
that is real nice.
So, Joseph made sure that he

226
00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:24,300
would bring up to remembrance to
the remembrance of his people

227
00:14:24,300 –> 00:14:26,300
before, he died.
In fact that says he doesn’t,

228
00:14:26,300 –> 00:14:30,200
but he gave commandment
concerning his bones and that

229
00:14:30,200 –> 00:14:34,100
phrase in Hebrews, he gave
commandment concerning his

230
00:14:34,100 –> 00:14:37,800
bones.
Is the New Testament equivalent

231
00:14:37,800 –> 00:14:40,500
of what we read.
In Genesis 50 verse 25.

232
00:14:40,500 –> 00:14:44,100
He took an oath of the children
of Israel or what we read in

233
00:14:44,100 –> 00:14:48,700
Exodus 13 verse 17, he’d
straightly sworn the children of

234
00:14:49,100 –> 00:14:54,500
Rail the word commandment here
means to charge to, and to enjoy

235
00:14:54,600 –> 00:14:59,500
and to order it captured the
focused of Joseph’s intention.

236
00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:06,100
He asked his Brethren to promise
that they would take up his

237
00:15:06,100 –> 00:15:11,500
bones.
You thought about this in

238
00:15:11,500 –> 00:15:14,600
Hebrews 11?
Brothers and sisters.

239
00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:19,000
We expect Hebrews 11 to be the
most outstanding examples of

240
00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:20,900
Faith.
Do we not in the lives of these

241
00:15:20,900 –> 00:15:24,900
people, all these men and woman
of extraordinary, faith?

242
00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:32,200
So what we would have expected
was the most amazing example of

243
00:15:32,200 –> 00:15:35,000
faith and all the life of Joseph
and of course Joseph’s life was

244
00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:37,500
an astonishing life.
It was filled with moments of

245
00:15:37,508 –> 00:15:42,000
special Faith, was it not?
And yet the record Will only

246
00:15:42,000 –> 00:15:46,400
mention out of all that Joseph
ever did or experienced.

247
00:15:48,800 –> 00:15:55,600
Just but one thing bear was
bones. why this one example of

248
00:15:55,600 –> 00:15:59,900
Faith taken from Joseph’s life,
when his whole story was full of

249
00:15:59,900 –> 00:16:06,300
X of Faith, as a type of Christ,
And the answer must be.

250
00:16:08,600 –> 00:16:11,900
Because the promise concerning
his bones.

251
00:16:13,500 –> 00:16:19,500
Illustrated a faith that was
strong enough to last a

252
00:16:19,500 –> 00:16:23,800
lifetime.
That’s why.

253
00:16:25,500 –> 00:16:30,400
The faithy head is a boy.
Was the Faith Hill’s are dying

254
00:16:30,400 –> 00:16:34,500
then.
A faith that lasts a lifetime of

255
00:16:34,500 –> 00:16:37,100
faith that chimed over his
country and present

256
00:16:37,100 –> 00:16:41,200
circumstances and had a burning
confidence in the future and an

257
00:16:41,200 –> 00:16:44,700
absolute certainty in the
Fulfillment of God’s promises

258
00:16:44,700 –> 00:16:46,100
for yes.
That was a special Faith.

259
00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:48,400
Was it?
Not but ancestors, our faith in

260
00:16:48,400 –> 00:16:51,200
our hearts that will take us
right from the beginning to the

261
00:16:51,200 –> 00:16:53,600
end of life.
That is a faith worthy to be

262
00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:55,400
mentioned in Hebrews 11.
Is it not?

263
00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:57,200
And that’s what Joseph did you
see?

264
00:16:58,600 –> 00:17:01,000
The Commandment concerning his
bones which was given right at

265
00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:04,800
the end of his life was a
testimony to the spirit of faith

266
00:17:04,800 –> 00:17:09,000
that burns.
So brightly in his heart well

267
00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:14,500
that takes us to Joshua chapter
24 because adjusters, Exodus 13

268
00:17:14,500 –> 00:17:17,300
tells us that at the start of
the Wilderness wanderings, the

269
00:17:17,300 –> 00:17:20,099
bones of Joseph were dealt with
and looked after.

270
00:17:20,400 –> 00:17:23,300
So when we come to the Book of
Joshua and chapter 24, we know

271
00:17:23,300 –> 00:17:26,000
something about how the story
ends at the end of the

272
00:17:26,000 –> 00:17:30,900
Wilderness wanderings, you see?
And actually Joshua chapter 24,

273
00:17:30,900 –> 00:17:34,900
when maybe reading from verses,
29 and 30 to start with, it’s

274
00:17:34,900 –> 00:17:37,700
ears.
It came to pass after these

275
00:17:37,700 –> 00:17:40,300
things that Joshua, the son of
nun.

276
00:17:40,500 –> 00:17:44,900
The servant of Yahweh died being
and hundred and ten years old

277
00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:47,300
and they buried him in the
border of his inheritance and

278
00:17:47,300 –> 00:17:50,100
Tim Nets Iran, which is in
Mount.

279
00:17:50,100 –> 00:17:52,400
Ephraim on the north side of the
hill of Gaius.

280
00:17:52,500 –> 00:17:56,500
Now, Joshua, of course, was the
Civil leader and the captain of

281
00:17:56,500 –> 00:17:58,100
the host.
So he dies.

282
00:17:58,300 –> 00:18:02,000
He’s buried in Mount.
Ephraim, says verse 30, but do

283
00:18:02,008 –> 00:18:06,600
you notice in the last verse in
verse 33, it says Eleazar, the

284
00:18:06,600 –> 00:18:10,300
son of Aaron died, and they
buried him in a hill that

285
00:18:10,300 –> 00:18:12,600
pertain to Phineas his son,
which was given him and

286
00:18:12,600 –> 00:18:15,800
multi-frame.
So, Eleazar is the spiritual

287
00:18:15,800 –> 00:18:20,100
leader, and the high priest, and
he’s also buried in Mount

288
00:18:20,100 –> 00:18:23,800
Ephraim.
And when these two died, the

289
00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:27,300
Civil leader, and the spiritual
leader in a very real sense, the

290
00:18:27,300 –> 00:18:31,300
story of The conquest of the
land and the granting of

291
00:18:31,300 –> 00:18:37,200
inheritance comes to an end.
But in between those two

292
00:18:37,200 –> 00:18:41,900
stories, Lies.
Another one that’s also

293
00:18:41,900 –> 00:18:45,800
associated with conquest and
inheritance.

294
00:18:47,100 –> 00:18:51,200
And verse 32 C is and the bones
of Joseph which the children of

295
00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:54,300
Israel brought up out of Egypt
buried!

296
00:18:54,300 –> 00:19:00,800
They in chicken.
So, Exodus 13, gives us the

297
00:19:00,800 –> 00:19:03,900
beginning of the journey and
Joshua 24 gives us the end.

298
00:19:03,900 –> 00:19:06,700
Moses took the bones out of
Egypt and Joshua brought the

299
00:19:06,708 –> 00:19:10,300
bones into the land and notice
this when Israel arrived in the

300
00:19:10,300 –> 00:19:12,100
land, they didn’t just bury
Joseph anywhere.

301
00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:13,900
They didn’t just bring them to
the land.

302
00:19:14,200 –> 00:19:16,900
No, no, they took his bones to
shechem.

303
00:19:16,900 –> 00:19:21,100
It seems and buried them there
and they buried them.

304
00:19:21,100 –> 00:19:23,100
They’re no doubt.
Because that’s exactly where

305
00:19:23,100 –> 00:19:25,600
Joseph had asked them to bury
his bones.

306
00:19:25,900 –> 00:19:28,400
I don’t just want you to take my
bones to Israel.

307
00:19:28,500 –> 00:19:32,700
You I must bury them in shechem
was the event that he had taken

308
00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:36,900
and we told him severely and
Joshua chapter 20 and verse 7

309
00:19:36,900 –> 00:19:39,900
that she can also was in Mount
Ephraim.

310
00:19:40,100 –> 00:19:43,200
In fact, we’re told here that to
be more precise.

311
00:19:43,200 –> 00:19:48,300
It was a parcel of ground which
Jacob bought of the sons of

312
00:19:48,300 –> 00:19:50,600
hamor.
The father of shechem from

313
00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:53,300
hundred pieces of silver, and
became the inheritance of the

314
00:19:53,300 –> 00:20:00,000
children of Joseph.
So, Not only was Not an evil

315
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:04,300
word, Joseph’s bones, buried and
shit.

316
00:20:05,700 –> 00:20:09,300
But they were buried in a
specific place in shaken.

317
00:20:09,300 –> 00:20:11,900
In a particular, parcel of
ground.

318
00:20:12,100 –> 00:20:16,100
So this must be one of those
rare places in the land where

319
00:20:16,100 –> 00:20:20,100
the Patriarchs had obtained that
piece of land by purchasing

320
00:20:20,100 –> 00:20:22,200
their lifetime.
There weren’t many of those were

321
00:20:22,200 –> 00:20:25,900
the above and sisters Joseph was
buried in a special field which

322
00:20:25,900 –> 00:20:27,800
his father owned the title Deeds
to.

323
00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:34,200
So now we know that chicken is
the place where Joseph was be.

324
00:20:36,500 –> 00:20:41,300
But we still don’t quite know
why.

325
00:20:43,300 –> 00:20:47,900
And before we can answer that,
we need to add one more piece of

326
00:20:47,900 –> 00:20:50,900
the puzzle.
If you come back to Deuteronomy

327
00:20:50,900 –> 00:20:57,200
chapter 21 in the law of the
firstborn, we’re told this and

328
00:20:57,300 –> 00:21:02,900
Deuteronomy 21 when the record
says in verse 16, then it shall

329
00:21:02,900 –> 00:21:05,600
be when he maketh his sons to
inherit that which he had.

330
00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:09,100
You may not make the son of the
Beloved first form before, the

331
00:21:09,100 –> 00:21:12,500
son of the hated, which is
indeed the firstborn official

332
00:21:12,500 –> 00:21:14,200
acknowledged.
The son of the hated for the

333
00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:17,100
firstborn by giving him a double
portion of all that he hath for

334
00:21:17,100 –> 00:21:19,300
what he is the beginning of the
strength, the right of the

335
00:21:19,300 –> 00:21:23,300
firstborn is his now you see
right at the end of that verse

336
00:21:23,300 –> 00:21:28,800
17 minutes is about the right of
the first born in the Hebrew,

337
00:21:28,800 –> 00:21:33,200
the word bakura, relaxed relates
to the right of inheritance.

338
00:21:33,200 –> 00:21:36,300
And in particular, to this
double portion that’s mentioned

339
00:21:36,300 –> 00:21:41,800
in verse 17, the extra portion
which was the mark of the status

340
00:21:41,800 –> 00:21:43,500
of the first ball.
One.

341
00:21:43,800 –> 00:21:48,000
So that was a lure and Israel,
the bakura.

342
00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:53,800
All right of the firstborn was
related to their extra portion

343
00:21:54,100 –> 00:21:58,000
that the firstborn would enjoy.
And remember also, if you come

344
00:21:58,000 –> 00:22:01,400
to the first 2 Chronicles
chapter 5, as that story was

345
00:22:01,400 –> 00:22:05,000
outward in the history of the
nation and of the tribes in

346
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:08,200
particular, we’re told in the
first of Chronicles and chapter

347
00:22:08,200 –> 00:22:14,800
5 and in verses 1 and 2, With
the record says in that place.

348
00:22:14,900 –> 00:22:17,800
Now the sons of Reuben, the
firstborn of Israel for he was

349
00:22:17,800 –> 00:22:21,500
the first born, but for as much
as he did Father’s father’s be

350
00:22:21,500 –> 00:22:25,300
in his Birthright was given Unto
the Sons of Joseph.

351
00:22:25,900 –> 00:22:29,700
The son of Israel in the
genealogy is not to be reckoned

352
00:22:29,700 –> 00:22:33,200
above the birthright for Judah,
prevailed above his Brethren and

353
00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:37,600
of him came the chief rule about
the birthright was Joseph’s and

354
00:22:37,600 –> 00:22:42,300
that would Birthright and verse
1 and Birthright and verse 2.

355
00:22:42,500 –> 00:22:45,700
The same word.
But Cora that relates to the

356
00:22:45,700 –> 00:22:49,000
right of the firstborn and
Deuteronomy chapter 21, the

357
00:22:49,000 –> 00:22:51,800
double portion belong to the
firstborn son.

358
00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:57,200
So Joseph, it C is as he that
was separate from his brother,

359
00:22:57,600 –> 00:23:01,400
his Brethren was Rick.
And here is the first born

360
00:23:01,400 –> 00:23:05,500
because he conducted himself
with all the spiritual decorum,

361
00:23:05,900 –> 00:23:10,800
worthy of the office of being
first born, among his brethren

362
00:23:12,500 –> 00:23:16,000
So now come back to Genesis
chapter 33 and now we can start

363
00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:19,200
to tie this reads together in
terms of the thinness of the

364
00:23:19,200 –> 00:23:22,900
story.
In Exodus chapter 33 after the

365
00:23:22,900 –> 00:23:27,000
meeting of Jacob with Esau, as
he returned to the link and

366
00:23:27,800 –> 00:23:32,300
Genesis chapter 33 says right at
the end of the chapter verse 18.

367
00:23:33,200 –> 00:23:36,200
It is and Jacob came to Shalem.
A city of shechem which is in

368
00:23:36,200 –> 00:23:39,400
the land of Canaan when he came
from padanaram.

369
00:23:39,700 –> 00:23:45,300
And he pitched his tent before
the city, it says he came to

370
00:23:45,300 –> 00:23:53,800
Shaylen, but Robert him says And
Jacob came in, peace.

371
00:23:54,800 –> 00:24:00,000
To the city of shechem.
And I think that’s probably a

372
00:24:00,008 –> 00:24:03,400
better translation.
He came and peace to the city of

373
00:24:03,700 –> 00:24:09,500
shechem and the word coelom.
Incidentally means to be made

374
00:24:09,500 –> 00:24:13,900
perfect or whole.
That the suggestion has been

375
00:24:13,900 –> 00:24:20,200
made that perhaps this was the
place where Jacob’s thigh was

376
00:24:20,200 –> 00:24:23,600
healed.
Now whether that be true or not,

377
00:24:23,700 –> 00:24:26,400
it was certainly going to be the
place where he would begin his

378
00:24:26,400 –> 00:24:29,200
life again in the land.
After having been a Way for many

379
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:30,800
years.
So he comes in peace.

380
00:24:31,700 –> 00:24:34,500
Nice to shake him to begin life,
all over again.

381
00:24:35,000 –> 00:24:39,400
And verse 19 says, and he
brought a passel of a field

382
00:24:39,400 –> 00:24:43,300
where he had spread his tent at
the hands of the children of

383
00:24:43,400 –> 00:24:47,000
hamor, shechem’s, Father for 100
pieces of money.

384
00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:50,400
When it says 100 pieces of month
either.

385
00:24:50,400 –> 00:24:55,800
Madge and C is 100 Layin eggs,
maybe it was 100 Liam’s, or

386
00:24:55,800 –> 00:25:01,300
maybe it was money to the value
of 100 length, but it’s the same

387
00:25:01,300 –> 00:25:06,100
word, Good in Joshua chapter 24,
verse 32, bought for 100 pieces

388
00:25:06,100 –> 00:25:08,100
of money.
A chosen field bought with a

389
00:25:08,100 –> 00:25:10,600
price of Liam’s.
Now, here’s the question

390
00:25:10,700 –> 00:25:14,400
brothers and sisters.
Why would Jacob seek to buy this

391
00:25:14,400 –> 00:25:20,700
particular parcel of a field?
We answers, he needed to buy it

392
00:25:20,700 –> 00:25:25,300
so he could own it.
But he needed to own it.

393
00:25:26,400 –> 00:25:28,600
Because of what what he wanted
to put on.

394
00:25:30,400 –> 00:25:34,200
And what he wanted to put on.
That is verse 20, when it says

395
00:25:34,600 –> 00:25:41,000
and there he erected an altar
and called it LL.

396
00:25:41,000 –> 00:25:46,700
Oh, hey, yesterday, he needed to
have ownership right to build an

397
00:25:46,700 –> 00:25:50,900
altar to God to worship him.
So Jacob, haven’t got back into

398
00:25:50,900 –> 00:25:53,600
the land.
Immediately declared his

399
00:25:53,600 –> 00:25:57,400
separation from the surrounding
Nations and his loyalty to the

400
00:25:57,400 –> 00:26:01,400
god of Israel Elohim of Israel.
All the strength of the powerful

401
00:26:01,400 –> 00:26:04,100
ones of Israel.
So he bought that piece of land

402
00:26:04,200 –> 00:26:06,200
precisely.
So he could declare his loyalty

403
00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:08,500
to God and build an altar in
their place.

404
00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:15,300
But Jacob, don’t you think was
consciously and deliberately

405
00:26:15,700 –> 00:26:19,700
following an example that
already been set in his family

406
00:26:19,700 –> 00:26:26,100
of old because when we come back
to Genesis chapter 12, you

407
00:26:26,100 –> 00:26:30,800
remember that when I Ibrahim,
first comes into the Lend, that

408
00:26:30,800 –> 00:26:35,200
the record tells us That he also
built an altar.

409
00:26:36,700 –> 00:26:40,600
And somehow the circumstances
are strangely similar to Jacobs

410
00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:44,000
purchase in Genesis chapter 33
back.

411
00:26:44,000 –> 00:26:48,400
Notice the parallel of thought
here, Genesis 12 verse 6, and 7

412
00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:51,200
C is and Abram passed through
the land under the place of

413
00:26:51,200 –> 00:26:53,200
chicken and to the plane of
moray.

414
00:26:53,300 –> 00:26:56,200
And the Canaanite was, then in
the land and Yahweh appeared

415
00:26:56,200 –> 00:26:59,700
unto him and said unto thy seed,
will I give this land and there

416
00:27:00,000 –> 00:27:02,300
builded?
He an altar unto Yahweh, who

417
00:27:02,300 –> 00:27:05,200
appeared unto him.
Now notice the connections, the

418
00:27:05,200 –> 00:27:09,300
place is the same.
He’s in shechem where Jacob

419
00:27:09,300 –> 00:27:12,700
comes the circumstances of the
same.

420
00:27:12,900 –> 00:27:17,100
He’s amidst the Gentiles where
Jacob finds himself and the

421
00:27:17,100 –> 00:27:21,400
response has the same.
He builds an altar and probably

422
00:27:21,400 –> 00:27:26,600
the action of purchase is the
same because Abraham most likely

423
00:27:26,700 –> 00:27:31,400
needed to buy this block in
Genesis chapter 12 and verse 7.

424
00:27:31,400 –> 00:27:36,800
Also to put his otter and it’s
here right here at shechem that

425
00:27:36,900 –> 00:27:41,500
Abraham was told for the very
first time verse 7 unto thy

426
00:27:41,500 –> 00:27:48,300
seed, shall I give this land
this land right here?

427
00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:51,700
You Wonder Don’t You button
sisters wind Jacob got there in

428
00:27:51,700 –> 00:27:54,600
Genesis 33 whether they might
have still been signs of

429
00:27:54,600 –> 00:27:57,200
Abraham’s original altar in that
place.

430
00:27:57,600 –> 00:27:59,600
So Jacob comes and what he
really does.

431
00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:02,500
He pitches his tent not just and
chicken but he says I want what

432
00:28:02,500 –> 00:28:05,700
that piece just their right.
They want they want to buy that

433
00:28:05,700 –> 00:28:08,400
piece.
I want that field in particular.

434
00:28:08,500 –> 00:28:12,100
You see that’s the ground that
was made Sacred By Its link to

435
00:28:12,100 –> 00:28:16,200
Abraham.
That’s the piece that Jacob

436
00:28:16,200 –> 00:28:18,400
eyes.
Genesis 33.

437
00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:21,800
It was his declaration that he
stood related to the promises

438
00:28:21,800 –> 00:28:25,400
made to his father’s and he
awaited their fulfillment

439
00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:29,100
through the strength of the
powerful ones of Israel.

440
00:28:31,700 –> 00:28:33,100
Oh yes, there was nothing.
Accidental.

441
00:28:33,100 –> 00:28:35,100
Was there about that.
Purchase of that piece of land

442
00:28:35,100 –> 00:28:41,300
and shaken by Jacob.
And then suddenly brings us back

443
00:28:41,300 –> 00:28:45,900
to Genesis chapter 48 and to a
little phrase that brings us

444
00:28:45,900 –> 00:28:48,800
full circle to where the story
began, you see?

445
00:28:50,900 –> 00:28:58,800
because in Genesis 48, the
record series.

446
00:29:04,400 –> 00:29:09,700
This is 21.
And Israel said unto Joseph

447
00:29:10,500 –> 00:29:15,600
behold.
I die that God shall be with you

448
00:29:15,600 –> 00:29:18,200
and bring you again into the
land of their fathers.

449
00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:24,500
Ah but that’s the very story of
Joseph in Genesis 50:20 for I

450
00:29:24,500 –> 00:29:28,400
die and God will surely visit
you and bring you out of this

451
00:29:28,400 –> 00:29:32,000
land where we really did.
Joseph get those words from.

452
00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:35,800
He’s quoting his father.
It’s getting what his dad told

453
00:29:35,800 –> 00:29:40,300
him and Genesis 48:21.
I die but God shall surely be

454
00:29:40,300 –> 00:29:41,700
with you.
And bring you again.

455
00:29:42,100 –> 00:29:46,200
And now we’ve got the basis for
Joseph urgency about the matter

456
00:29:46,200 –> 00:29:50,000
of his bones when he calls the
nation to make oath concerning

457
00:29:50,000 –> 00:30:00,000
them unto him. and verse 22
says, moreover says, Jacob to

458
00:30:00,000 –> 00:30:03,000
Joseph in what incidentally must
have been a private conversation

459
00:30:03,000 –> 00:30:05,500
between just these two.
He says, moreover I’ve given to

460
00:30:05,500 –> 00:30:08,800
thee one portion of a vibration,
which I took out of the hand of

461
00:30:08,800 –> 00:30:11,600
the Emirate with my soul.
And with my bow, I’m giving one

462
00:30:11,600 –> 00:30:14,600
portion.
All that’s interesting about thy

463
00:30:14,600 –> 00:30:20,300
brethren That’s the birthright
inheritance, isn’t it of the

464
00:30:20,300 –> 00:30:24,200
firstborn?
The extra piece.

465
00:30:26,600 –> 00:30:28,700
The right of the firstborn is
yours.

466
00:30:28,700 –> 00:30:34,400
My son, the double portion.
And the portion referred to is

467
00:30:34,400 –> 00:30:38,500
the parcel of ground in shechem,
which Jacob brought in Genesis

468
00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:42,700
chapter 33, and that unique
site, associated with the

469
00:30:42,700 –> 00:30:49,000
promises made to the father’s is
the one special extra portion

470
00:30:49,800 –> 00:30:53,500
that Jacob Awards to Joseph his
son on this occasion.

471
00:30:53,500 –> 00:30:57,400
And when he bequeathed it to
Joseph, as his spiritual birth,

472
00:30:57,400 –> 00:31:00,700
right?
He was really making Joseph his

473
00:31:00,700 –> 00:31:02,700
ear to the promises.
Wasn’t he?

474
00:31:03,200 –> 00:31:05,200
The one who would inherit the
hope of the promises that would

475
00:31:05,200 –> 00:31:13,400
run through Joseph?
But interestingly verse 22.

476
00:31:15,200 –> 00:31:18,000
He doesn’t say I’ve given the
one parcel.

477
00:31:20,000 –> 00:31:23,700
Would pass all those used in
Genesis 33 and wood.

478
00:31:23,700 –> 00:31:29,800
Parcel was used in Joshua 24 but
Jacob, doesn’t call it a passel.

479
00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:34,500
He says, I’ve given you a port,
one portion.

480
00:31:36,900 –> 00:31:42,000
And the word portion here.
In the Hebrews, why the word

481
00:31:42,000 –> 00:31:46,600
chicken?
Oh yes, it’s that piece.

482
00:31:48,700 –> 00:31:54,300
That Jacob promises to his son.
In fact, he says verse 22, I

483
00:31:54,300 –> 00:31:56,400
took her out of the hand of the
Emirate with my sword.

484
00:31:56,400 –> 00:31:58,600
My bow.
But this is this, the PC board

485
00:31:58,600 –> 00:32:02,900
and Genesis chapter 33 is it was
But you see, I think the

486
00:32:02,908 –> 00:32:07,100
terrible events in shechem that
were Unleashed by Simeon and

487
00:32:07,100 –> 00:32:10,300
Levi.
In Genesis, 34 led to his

488
00:32:10,300 –> 00:32:12,300
removal from Assyrian at some
states.

489
00:32:12,300 –> 00:32:16,600
The amorites took their parcel
deck, He bought up but he lost

490
00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:19,200
it because of the bad behavior
of his sons.

491
00:32:19,500 –> 00:32:25,400
But so important was it status
in Jacobs mind that he forcibly

492
00:32:25,400 –> 00:32:29,600
claimed back what was already
his by purchase.

493
00:32:29,800 –> 00:32:32,900
That’s something that Patriarchs
as strangers and sojourners

494
00:32:32,900 –> 00:32:34,900
would not normally have done,
would they?

495
00:32:36,200 –> 00:32:39,100
But this time he do.
He said, no, I must have that

496
00:32:39,100 –> 00:32:41,300
piece of land.
Becky took it by force and it’s

497
00:32:41,300 –> 00:32:44,000
that piece of land that he
bequeathed to Joseph.

498
00:32:44,100 –> 00:32:46,800
Now brothers and sisters.
I That action set Joseph’s have

499
00:32:46,800 –> 00:32:49,900
a light, absolutely see it as
fart a lot.

500
00:32:51,400 –> 00:32:56,800
That piece of all pieces, Joseph
news story that piece. now that

501
00:32:56,800 –> 00:33:00,200
was a private interview, wasn’t
that really between the father

502
00:33:00,200 –> 00:33:05,100
and just this one son but it
comes just before the public

503
00:33:05,100 –> 00:33:13,500
blessings of Genesis 49, when
Jacob leases all the boys and I

504
00:33:13,500 –> 00:33:17,500
think that in the public
policing Jacob will now till all

505
00:33:17,500 –> 00:33:22,800
the other brothers, that that’s
the PC gave to Joseph, they’ll

506
00:33:22,800 –> 00:33:26,100
all know before Jacob dies.
That all know.

507
00:33:26,200 –> 00:33:27,500
We know that because you see
what it says.

508
00:33:27,500 –> 00:33:32,900
Genesis 49 verse 22.
He said Joseph is a fruitful

509
00:33:32,900 –> 00:33:35,300
bough.
Even a fruitful bough by a well

510
00:33:35,300 –> 00:33:37,500
whose branches run over the
wall.

511
00:33:39,700 –> 00:33:48,000
So Jacobs blessing on Joseph
pictures him as residing beside

512
00:33:48,600 –> 00:33:53,800
the well at chicken.
That’s how he captures.

513
00:33:53,800 –> 00:33:56,400
The terms of the blessing to
Joseph.

514
00:33:56,400 –> 00:34:00,100
Joseph will be a fruitful bough
by the well at second.

515
00:34:00,700 –> 00:34:02,800
Now you might say, well
chickens, not there in verse 22,

516
00:34:02,800 –> 00:34:05,700
I think it is, I think it really
is.

517
00:34:06,100 –> 00:34:09,100
How by the way?
Well, let me ask you a question,

518
00:34:09,400 –> 00:34:12,699
you know, that some Wills when
they board them in Old Testament

519
00:34:12,699 –> 00:34:16,000
times, will they found water?
That was good to have a well

520
00:34:16,000 –> 00:34:23,100
with water, but some special
Wills Struck a spring below,

521
00:34:24,400 –> 00:34:27,000
they were permanently filled
with fresh water.

522
00:34:27,000 –> 00:34:32,000
Those were the very best Springs
because of spring well fed by a

523
00:34:32,000 –> 00:34:36,000
spring enabled permanent
habitation in their place and

524
00:34:36,000 –> 00:34:38,199
the word used here in the
Hebrew.

525
00:34:38,300 –> 00:34:43,900
When it says he it’s a Well the
Hebrew word iyan means really a

526
00:34:43,900 –> 00:34:46,800
spring.
So Young’s literal says, Joseph

527
00:34:46,800 –> 00:34:50,199
is a fruitful son of fruitful
Son by a fountain.

528
00:34:50,300 –> 00:34:55,900
Mmm question.
Who would know that the well at

529
00:34:55,900 –> 00:35:06,100
second was a fountain spring?
Well, The answers the man who

530
00:35:06,100 –> 00:35:10,800
dug it.
Which was Jacob himself.

531
00:35:13,800 –> 00:35:17,900
And all the other boys knew to
what Jacob their father was

532
00:35:17,900 –> 00:35:22,200
referring.
When he promised that that

533
00:35:22,200 –> 00:35:25,700
future for Joseph, what he was
really saying is I’ve given

534
00:35:25,800 –> 00:35:30,200
Joseph above you, she come with
its spring.

535
00:35:30,200 –> 00:35:33,300
Will you see?
Now why that’s interesting is

536
00:35:33,300 –> 00:35:36,500
because if we come now to the
Book of John, the Gospel of John

537
00:35:36,500 –> 00:35:39,700
and chapter 4, you know that
that story suddenly turns up

538
00:35:39,700 –> 00:35:42,300
again, does it not have the New
Testament record and in such a

539
00:35:42,308 –> 00:35:45,800
marvelous way that verifies all
that, we’ve seen them, those Old

540
00:35:45,800 –> 00:35:48,800
Testament passages.
Because well, John chapter 4

541
00:35:48,800 –> 00:35:53,000
says this John.
Fathers five concerning our

542
00:35:53,000 –> 00:35:57,800
Lord, Sears then cometh.
He to a city of Samaria, which

543
00:35:57,800 –> 00:36:05,000
is called sychar near to the
parcel of ground that Jacob gave

544
00:36:05,000 –> 00:36:09,700
to his son Joseph.
So here it is near to the parcel

545
00:36:09,700 –> 00:36:12,200
of ground, by the way, seike is
really shaken.

546
00:36:12,200 –> 00:36:14,700
As an adverse five, there might
be some argument about whether

547
00:36:14,700 –> 00:36:17,600
was another little village
nearby, but the Sigh care of

548
00:36:17,607 –> 00:36:20,500
John 4, verse 5 as effectively
shikun.

549
00:36:21,000 –> 00:36:23,500
And we know that precisely
because it goes on to say it’s

550
00:36:23,600 –> 00:36:26,900
near to the parcel of ground
which Jacob gave to his son so

551
00:36:26,900 –> 00:36:31,100
that’s the parcel of Genesis 33
that’s the parcel of Genesis 48

552
00:36:31,100 –> 00:36:33,500
that’s the parcel of Joshua
chapter 24.

553
00:36:33,600 –> 00:36:36,000
Well here it is in the New
Testament brothers sisters near

554
00:36:36,000 –> 00:36:40,000
to the parcel of ground that
Jacob gave to his son and what

555
00:36:40,000 –> 00:36:42,000
was associated with their
parcel.

556
00:36:42,800 –> 00:36:46,200
Verse 6.
Now Jacob’s.

557
00:36:46,200 –> 00:36:51,300
Well, was there Jacobs will ask
so Jacob didn’t dig that.

558
00:36:51,300 –> 00:36:54,600
Well, didn’t he?
It was Jacob’s, Well, which is

559
00:36:54,600 –> 00:36:57,900
why he knew that it was a spring
when he gave the promise in

560
00:36:57,900 –> 00:37:00,800
Genesis, chapter 49, you know,
what’s interesting about the

561
00:37:00,800 –> 00:37:06,300
Greek of John for In verse 6,
when the sisters, is that the

562
00:37:06,300 –> 00:37:10,600
word for well here in the New
Testament is Piggy.

563
00:37:12,200 –> 00:37:15,500
That means a well fed by a
spring.

564
00:37:17,600 –> 00:37:22,600
Robert him says, now Jacobs
Fountain was there.

565
00:37:22,800 –> 00:37:26,400
Oh, yes, this is the same place,
exactly the same place, exactly

566
00:37:26,400 –> 00:37:28,500
the same parcel, exactly the
same.

567
00:37:28,500 –> 00:37:32,900
Well, now, think about it
answers.

568
00:37:32,900 –> 00:37:39,300
Just how remarkable that 1500
years after Joseph was buried in

569
00:37:39,300 –> 00:37:44,400
this place.
The nation could still identify

570
00:37:44,600 –> 00:37:47,700
the parcel of ground which
belonged to Joseph the place of

571
00:37:47,700 –> 00:37:50,600
a simple occur and The Well of
Jacob, if there was one place in

572
00:37:50,600 –> 00:37:53,100
Israel that everyone knew it was
the parcel of ground that

573
00:37:53,100 –> 00:37:59,000
belonged to Joseph remarkable.
And by the way, don’t you think

574
00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:02,800
that John chapter 4 must confirm
for us that the world must have

575
00:38:02,800 –> 00:38:06,800
been a spring?
Because 1500 years later,

576
00:38:07,900 –> 00:38:10,600
they’re still drawing water from
that same.

577
00:38:10,600 –> 00:38:17,000
Well, So you see when the time
for his death June, I Joseph who

578
00:38:17,000 –> 00:38:20,600
had spent almost all his life
and Egypt said to his people, I

579
00:38:20,600 –> 00:38:24,400
want you to carry up my bones
with you when God visits you and

580
00:38:24,400 –> 00:38:26,600
takes you home.
And when you get there, I want

581
00:38:26,600 –> 00:38:30,000
you to bury my bones in the
field that belongs to me.

582
00:38:30,900 –> 00:38:36,200
So that, when the moment comes
to fulfill those promises, the

583
00:38:36,200 –> 00:38:40,300
promises made to the father’s
I’ll be right there in chicken

584
00:38:40,700 –> 00:38:46,100
when I awake. now, you promised
me by solemn oath, that, you’ll

585
00:38:46,100 –> 00:38:50,700
take my bones, that he sees, and
you see, he is an amazing thing,

586
00:38:50,700 –> 00:38:55,700
but this is just that embedded
in this remarkable story, The

587
00:38:55,700 –> 00:39:01,500
scripture records for secret
passages about a dead men’s

588
00:39:01,500 –> 00:39:05,300
bones.
Genesis chapter 50, Exodus

589
00:39:05,300 –> 00:39:11,100
chapter 13, Joshua chapter 24,
Hebrews chapter 11, the bones,

590
00:39:11,100 –> 00:39:15,800
the bones, the bones, the bones
of Joseph.

591
00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:22,600
Why they didn’t business?
Because brothers and sisters in

592
00:39:22,600 –> 00:39:26,600
a very real sense.
Joseph was at as most

593
00:39:26,600 –> 00:39:33,700
influential and as most
inspirational in his death, his

594
00:39:33,700 –> 00:39:37,800
own desire was so strong that he
sought his Birthright, even in

595
00:39:37,800 –> 00:39:43,900
death And his bones were buried
in claim of his firstborn right

596
00:39:43,900 –> 00:39:46,200
of inheritance in the past of
the grounders.

597
00:39:46,200 –> 00:39:49,600
Father, gave to him and Shake
him and that burial of the bones

598
00:39:49,600 –> 00:39:52,600
of Joseph and their proper
resting place, was the final

599
00:39:52,600 –> 00:39:56,700
salute to Joseph that he might
sleep in peace in the portion of

600
00:39:56,700 –> 00:40:00,200
the of the firstborn, what she
valued, all his life, but never

601
00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:05,900
had all his lifetime.
A dead men’s bones.

602
00:40:08,500 –> 00:40:14,000
Buried near living Spring.
Or the parable of the truth and

603
00:40:14,000 –> 00:40:15,700
it’s hope and sisters.
Don’t you think?

604
00:40:17,700 –> 00:40:24,300
A dead men’s bones.
Beside the living Spring and

605
00:40:24,300 –> 00:40:27,900
that Faith, which he hits.
So Zyliss, so burning so

606
00:40:27,900 –> 00:40:32,900
fervent, his faith in the future
actually carried them, through

607
00:40:32,900 –> 00:40:37,000
the Wilderness.
A man who’s positive indomitable

608
00:40:37,000 –> 00:40:39,000
Spirit.
Lifted them up and cause them to

609
00:40:39,008 –> 00:40:40,900
look forward in faith.
All they might have carried his

610
00:40:40,900 –> 00:40:44,900
bones But he was their burden
beer, wasn’t he?

611
00:40:45,900 –> 00:40:48,300
He inspired the nation to
complete that Journey.

612
00:40:50,300 –> 00:40:54,200
And that’s where he was buried.
In the place of the burden,

613
00:40:54,200 –> 00:40:57,300
Bearer.
Which is what she can.

614
00:40:57,300 –> 00:41:02,500
And perhaps really means,
remember these words and the

615
00:41:02,500 –> 00:41:06,600
second of Corinthians and
chapter forward, Where the

616
00:41:06,600 –> 00:41:10,300
record says this?
and perhaps there’s a touch of

617
00:41:10,300 –> 00:41:19,800
the story lying in the apostles
wounds, In the book of

618
00:41:19,800 –> 00:41:25,500
Corinthians in 2nd Corinthians,
4 and verse 8.

619
00:41:26,900 –> 00:41:31,900
Is this not the spirit of Joseph
of old, we are troubled on every

620
00:41:31,900 –> 00:41:37,100
side yet, not distressed.
We are perplexed but not in

621
00:41:37,100 –> 00:41:42,500
despair persecuted, but not
forsaken, cast down, but not

622
00:41:42,500 –> 00:41:46,000
destroyed.
Always bearing about in the

623
00:41:46,000 –> 00:41:51,700
body, the dying of the Lord
Jesus, that the life also of

624
00:41:51,700 –> 00:41:56,200
Jesus.
Might be manifest in our body

625
00:41:57,200 –> 00:41:59,600
but we were to live the alway
delivered unto death for Jesus

626
00:41:59,600 –> 00:42:01,200
sake.
That the life also of Jesus

627
00:42:01,200 –> 00:42:03,800
might be made manifest in our
mortal flesh.

628
00:42:03,900 –> 00:42:06,200
They Carried the dead, men’s
bones brother and sister they

629
00:42:06,200 –> 00:42:08,900
bought, they bought the dying of
Joseph about them.

630
00:42:09,100 –> 00:42:12,300
But what really what really
inspired and helped that

631
00:42:12,300 –> 00:42:15,900
generation was that in a sense,
They Carried with with them, a

632
00:42:15,900 –> 00:42:19,200
man, whose life scope.
Encourage them to continue in

633
00:42:19,200 –> 00:42:21,400
the way of the truth.
That was the spirit of Joseph

634
00:42:21,400 –> 00:42:27,000
brothers sisters.
May we all have a faith.

635
00:42:28,700 –> 00:42:34,400
So deep, so real.
And so food.

636
00:42:36,400 –> 00:42:41,900
That it will be with us from the
beginning to the end. and that

637
00:42:41,900 –> 00:42:47,100
even if we die before, our Lord
shall come, But we will pledge

638
00:42:47,100 –> 00:42:52,300
ourselves in death that we sleep
likewise in Hope of the promises

639
00:42:53,100 –> 00:42:56,800
made to the father’s if we do
that.

640
00:42:58,500 –> 00:43:03,100
We will offer our own salute.
When we do the bearing of the

641
00:43:03,100 –> 00:43:10,000
bones of Joseph, as one of our
hymns see is God, who cheered?

642
00:43:10,000 –> 00:43:15,100
The faithful Joseph in his loan
distress, he who bade the

643
00:43:15,100 –> 00:43:18,100
shepherd, Moses, leave the
Wilderness salmon Israel from

644
00:43:18,100 –> 00:43:21,700
the darkness of Egyptian night.
He by Moses freed.

645
00:43:21,700 –> 00:43:26,400
As people with a hand of might
God who led his chosen people.

646
00:43:26,400 –> 00:43:31,400
All the Red Sea Road through the
wilds and over Jordan to their

647
00:43:31,400 –> 00:43:34,800
blest Abode scattered them
although he loved them.

648
00:43:35,200 –> 00:43:40,300
He will draw them, hear it.
For his promise to their

649
00:43:40,300 –> 00:43:44,700
fathers.
People not forget.
