Summary

Starts off pretty uneventful; more recounting of generations which couldn't be more pointless or boring. It picks up later though as Joseph and his colored coat first appear. Joseph proves to be a real idiot. Judah proves to be an immoral douche.

0:00.0	Hey everyone.
0:20.0	Hey everyone. Welcome to episode number nine of Thomas and the Bible.
0:24.9	We're on chapter Genesis chapter 35 today.
0:28.3	Actually, just real quick, I want to start.
0:31.5	I was going to say at the end of chapter 34,
0:33.5	and I went on rather a long rant about how they murdered a bunch of people for no reason since God didn't even tell them to.
0:39.7	Also at the end, it said specifically, go to it here,

He doesn't care about that. No, he's not the least bit concerned about that. He's just mad that now he's going to have a bad reputation.
1:13.6	People are going to come after him.

1:36.5	that appeared unto thee when thou fledest from the face of
1:42.7	Esau thy brother. So once again, Jacob needs a reason to leave. And miraculously, God tells him he
