0:07.9	encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is
0:12.6	brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we will read all the way from
0:18.3	Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of
0:21.0	salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. This is day 14 and we have just
0:26.9	completed two weeks. We are completing actually in the process of completing two weeks.
0:32.0	The 14th day, let's get started. Today we're reading from Genesis 27 and 28. We're also reading Job chapter 17 and 18,
0:40.2	and we're now cracking into Proverbs chapter 3 verses 1 through 4. As always, I'm reading from
0:45.0	the revised standard version, Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from
0:48.6	Ascension. That is a great Bible to be able to follow along with us if you're ever interested

1:39.2	not see, he called Issa, his older son, and said to him, my son, and he answered, here I am.
1:46.2	He said, behold, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. Now then take your weapons,
1:51.7	your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me, and prepare for me
1:56.6	savory food such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that I may bless you before I
