All right. So today we're just going to focus on chapter 50, a chapter you're fairly familiar with, but one that it will look at how it fits into the larger

scheme of the chapters that we're covering today, but in a way is also kind of a standalone chapter.

So it seems like the easiest one to cover in a video, and that way you'll have those concepts

down and we can look at the bigger picture together in class.

So you've probably heard people talk about chapter 58 before because it's about fasting,

or at least a good part of it is about fasting.

But I want to point out some things that you'll probably recognize now that you may not

will see and know he's saying that the house of jacob is sinning they're They're transgressing and sinning,

and he is laying this charge before them.

But then he contrasts that with saying,

oh, they're sinning,

but they're doing all the stuff they're supposed to do,

like going to him daily,

I would guess, in permanent sacrifice. And as a nation,

they're trying to, in some ways, focus in his ways, and they're doing the ordinances they're

supposed to do. But they, they're going through the motions we could see in all sorts of

things they're going through the motions and yet he says they're sinning and so we have to

ask ourselves how do we do that could these be descriptions of us that we're going through the motions?

We're doing our daily scripture study. We go to sacrament meeting. We pay our fast offerings
