Hey, it's Shelby and Scott, and it's a big day.

It is.

We've made it to the end of the book of Genesis.

If you're reading along with us, maybe you have read through the Bible several times in a year,

or maybe it's your first time.

I just want to say great job being consistent.

Making it all the way through Genesis is a big step. But we're also really excited to go through Exodus with you starting tomorrow. So all right. Can you wrap up, Scott, for us, the book of Genesis? Yeah, absolutely. So we got two chapters that we're looking at on this final day of Genesis. So kind of like the study day does,

I want to mention real quickly a couple of the sons that Jacob addresses in 49.

So he's kind of giving these blessings,

which might feel like curses for some of these sons,

but these final words to all his sons.

It's important to remember a couple of events from day 12 where we covered chapters 34 and 36.

And so in 34, for example, you had Simeon and Levi, who rightfully angry about what Shackham had done to their sister, Dina,

kind of went over and beyond in retaliation.

I mean, justice was not their goal.

It was just revenge.

And they went over and beyond what they should.

You also have this comment in 35, real brief that we didn't cover,

but with Rubin sleeping with his father's concubine. It's kind of mentioned and then

moved on. But we kind of see the effects of these events in 34 and 35 here. It actually negatively

affects what Jacob says to each of these three sons, the three oldest sons. And so none of them

inherits this huge blessing from their father.
