0:00.0	Before we start class today, I want to take a moment and talk directly to the people who are joining on YouTube or on a podcast.
0:06.0	Thank you so much for your participation in this course. I know sometimes I'm not looking directly at you when we're talking in the class, but you're a core part of who we're thinking about.
0:15.0	So I hope that you feel the love from me, from all of us at Scripture Central, and however you're joining, whether it's via YouTube or a podcast, would you please consider sharing this course with other people? We would love to have more people become aware of the course Finding Christ in the Old Testament. So again, please be a part of this course, answer the questions, share your comments, we want to hear from you. We'd love for this to be a worldwide course where everyone is participating.

1:24.1	But we're going to begin with two stories that are much lesser known.
1:28.0	They're not about Joseph, and if these stories were graphically depicted, they would probably be R-rated. Today's class is not going to be R-rated, but it will be PG-13,
1:33.9	so this is definitely a warning. Proceed with caution. There's a reason why the stories we're
1:38.3	going to be talking about today are not told in primary. And we'll start out with Dinah's
1:44.0	silence. To preface our discussion about
1:46.7	Diana, consider what Dr. Amy Easton wrote. Biblical texts do not exist to make us comfortable.
1:53.4	They exist to make us think, to be engaged by God, and to affect our transformation.
1:59.0	Many of these troublesome texts,
2:01.4	of which a significant number involve the lives of women,
