Welcome back to Job Week on the podcast. Monday we read Job 16 together and had to parse out what of Job's claims are true and which ones are false.

another, God abides in us. Exodus 3320, he said, you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live. Deuteronomy 412, then the Lord spoke to you out of
