All right. 00:02:36.15\00:02:38.89 Well, let me take a look what we have here. 00:02:38.92\00:02:41.66 Ah, this is a good story. 00:02:41.69\00:02:44.66 It's the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors. 00:02:44.69\00:02:49.93 Now, Joseph was born and his mom Rachel 00:02:49.96\00:02:55.90 was Jacob's beloved wife. 00:02:55.94\00:02:59.71 And Joseph had another younger brother, 00:02:59.74\00:03:03.08 who knows his name? Benjamin. 00:03:03.11\00:03:06.01 Benjamin, that's right. 00:03:06.05\00:03:07.62 Benjamin, unfortunately, when Benjamin was born, 00:03:07.65\00:03:11.15 Rachel, his mom died in the process. 00:03:11.19\00:03:15.09 And so Jacob had a very, very special love 00:03:15.12\00:03:21.36 for those two children, Joseph and Benjamin 00:03:21.40\00:03:24.43 because they were the only two children 00:03:24.47\00:03:26.33 that came from his most precious 00:03:26.37\00:03:28.27 and beloved wife. 00:03:28.30\00:03:30.54 So the story begins where Joseph was given 00:03:30.57\00:03:34.58 a very, very special coat. 00:03:34.61\00:03:38.08 What did this coat look like? 00:03:38.11\00:03:40.58 Colorful. It was really colorful. 00:03:40.62\00:03:42.42 I've got a coat, now it's not the same coat 00:03:42.45\00:03:45.19 but I've got a colorful coat right over here. 00:03:45.22\00:03:48.49 Whoa!

Right, throw him in a pit. 00:04:19.19\00:04:23.26 Man, Nathan, you look really good in that coat. 00:04:23.29\00:04:26.90 Now how did you guys feel that I didn't pick you? 00:04:26.93\00:04:32.50 That I didn't let you wear that? 00:04:32.53\00:04:34.54 Jealous? You felt jealous? 00:04:34.57\00:04:36.10 How dare you do that? How dare I do that? 00:04:36.14\00:04:39.27 That's right. 00:04:39.31\00:04:40.64 Now, how do you think that Joseph's brothers felt 00:04:40.68\00:04:45.41 when their dad, it was their dad too, right? 00:04:45.45\00:04:48.95 Gave only Joseph a beautiful coat, in fact, 00:04:48.98\00:04:52.89 this was a coat that signified royalty, 00:04:52.92\00:04:56.12 that signified wealth, 00:04:56.16\00:04:57.49 that signified that he was much... 00:04:57.53\00:04:59.56 he was more loved really than the rest of them. 00:04:59.59\00:05:03.97 You would feel jealous. 00:05:04.00\00:05:05.53 You would maybe be like, "Ah, this just isn't fair." 00:05:05.57\00:05:08.50 That hurts. You feel hurt, right? 00:05:08.54\00:05:11.44 You know, he's your dad too, what's going on with that? 00:05:11.47\00:05:14.11 Unfortunately it led to jealousy 00:05:14.14\00:05:16.24 and more dysfunction within that family. 00:05:16.28\00:05:18.81 Now, to make matters even worse for the rest of the brothers, 00:05:18.85\00:05:22.95 Joseph had a dream. 00:05:22.98\00:05:25.55 And in this dream he beheld that 00:05:25.59\00:05:28.22 there were 12 sheaves, 12 stacks of sheaves, 00:05:28.26\00:05:33.53 and they were standing there. 00:05:33.56\00:05:35.26 But 11 of those sheaves bowed down, 00:05:35.30\00:05:40.00 and they just fell flat to the ground. 00:05:40.04\00:05:41.97 And it looked like 00:05:42.00\00:05:43.34 they were giving honor and glory 00:05:43.37\00:05:44.94 to the one sheath. 00:05:44.97\00:05:46.31 He didn't tell his brothers that story, did he? 00:05:46.34\00:05:48.28 Oh, he did. 00:05:48.31\00:05:50.58 He came to his brothers and his parents and he said, 00:05:50.61\00:05:53.31 "Hey, look, this is a dream I've had." 00:05:53.35\00:05:55.52 And how do you think 00:05:55.55\00:05:56.89 the brothers interpreted that dream? 00:05:56.92\00:05:59.85 They were saying that, they were... 00:05:59.89\00:06:03.43 that he thought that they were gonna have 00:06:03.46\00:06:05.19 to bow down to him. 00:06:05.23\00:06:07.10 That is what they thought. 00:06:07.13\00:06:08.46 And it seemed to be that 00:06:08.50\00:06:09.83 that's actually what the dream meant. 00:06:09.86\00:06:11.40 So this dream happened and they said, "What? 00:06:11.43\00:06:13.70 Are you gonna rule over us? 00:06:13.74\00:06:15.14 Are we gonna bow down to you? 00:06:15.17\00:06:16.71 Come on, man. 00:06:16.74\00:06:18.14 And then, guess what happened? 00:06:18.17\00:06:21.68 They threw him in a cave. 00:06:21.71\00:06:24.18 Eventually they did. 00:06:24.21\00:06:25.55 But before that, they had another dream. 00:06:25.58\00:06:27.88 That's right. 00:06:27.92\00:06:29.25 He had another dream and who knows 00:06:29.28\00:06:30.62 what this dream was in this dream. 00:06:30.65\00:06:33.39 All right, let's go with Crystal over there. 00:06:33.42\00:06:36.39 The sun, moon and 11 stars bowed down to him. 00:06:36.42\00:06:39.69 That's exactly right. 00:06:39.73\00:06:41.33 The sun, and the moon, 00:06:41.36\00:06:43.26 and 11 stars, they also bowed down. 00:06:43.30\00:06:47.14 And when he shared with his parents this, 00:06:47.17\00:06:50.31 even his parents are like, "Whoa, are you serious?" 00:06:50.34\00:06:53.44 The sun was his father, and the moon was his mother, 00:06:53.48\00:06:58.81 and the 11 stars were his own brothers. 00:06:58.85\00:07:02.02 Yeah, that's right. 00:07:02.05\00:07:03.42 That's how they interpreted it. 00:07:03.45\00:07:04.95 And that's how I think what God meant by it. 00:07:04.99\00:07:08.22 Now after that happened, 00:07:08.26\00:07:10.99 it looks like a little time went by. 00:07:11.03\00:07:13.03 And Jacob called to Joseph 00:07:13.06\00:07:17.47 and how did Joseph respond? 00:07:17.50\00:07:19.43 He said, "Here I am." 00:07:19.47\00:07:21.44 Joseph was a very obedient child. 00:07:21.47\00:07:24.14 He said, "Here I am. What do you want, dad?" 00:07:24.17\00:07:26.54 And Jacob said, "I would like for you to go 00:07:26.57\00:07:29.54 and to check on your brothers who are out in," 00:07:29.58\00:07:32.31 I believe it was Shechem. 00:07:32.35\00:07:34.02 But could he find them there? No. 00:07:34.05\00:07:36.38 There was a man, 00:07:36.42\00:07:37.75 we don't know who but a man told them that 00:07:37.79\00:07:39.29 "Hey, your brothers have gone 00:07:39.32\00:07:41.12 to another place called Dothan." 00:07:41.16\00:07:43.99 If I'm pronouncing it right. 00:07:44.03\00:07:45.49 And so Joseph went off. Joseph, correct, yes. 00:07:45.53\00:07:48.80 He went off to Dothan to look for his brothers. 00:07:48.83\00:07:51.57 I bet he was excited 00:07:51.60\00:07:52.93 'cause this journey was almost over. 00:07:52.97\00:07:54.47 Oh, I'm sure he's like, "Oh, man. 00:07:54.50\00:07:56.07 I've gotten here. 00:07:56.10\00:07:57.44 Now I gotta walk another 14 miles." 00:07:57.47\00:07:58.87 But he was happy to do the will of his father. 00:07:58.91\00:08:02.38 And as he went, he found them there. 00:08:02.41\00:08:04.45 When he was far way off, once his brothers saw him, 00:08:04.48\00:08:08.18 what popped into their mind? 00:08:08.22\00:08:10.39 Throw him in that pit. Throw him in a pit. 00:08:10.42\00:08:12.65 Well, actually something even worse. 00:08:12.69\00:08:15.32 The first thing that popped in their mind was 00:08:15.36\00:08:17.99 "Let's kill him." 00:08:18.03\00:08:19.43 It was actually Judah, right? 00:08:19.46\00:08:21.56 Judah was the one who said, "Man, let's kill him" 00:08:21.60\00:08:23.53 and they all seem to get on board with that. 00:08:23.57\00:08:24.90 They remember the dreams, didn't they? 00:08:24.93\00:08:26.43 'Cause they said, "Behold the dreamer." 00:08:26.47\00:08:27.97 Oh, yeah. They were mocking him. 00:08:28.00\00:08:29.64 They said, "Oh, here's the master of dreams. 00:08:29.67\00:08:31.71 The dreamer. Oh, here he comes. 00:08:31.74\00:08:33.54 Man, forget this guy. 00:08:33.58\00:08:35.14 Let's throw him and let's kill him." 00:08:35.18\00:08:37.15 Joseph must have been sad. 00:08:37.18\00:08:38.81 Yeah, he probably really was. 00:08:38.85\00:08:41.88 But when they put them in the pit, 00:08:41.92\00:08:45.55 they said that "We could kill him," 00:08:45.59\00:08:47.22 and Ruben's like, 00:08:47.26\00:08:48.59 "No, no, we should throw him in the pit." 00:08:48.62\00:08:50.19 So he was actually 00:08:50.23\00:08:51.56 more nicer than the rest of them. 00:08:51.59\00:08:54.56 Yeah, that's right. 00:08:54.60\00:08:56.36 At least Ruben who was the firstborn, 00:08:56.40\00:08:59.87 he was the oldest had a little bit of oomph, 00:08:59.90\00:09:03.10 a little bit of authority and he said, 00:09:03.14\00:09:06.07 "Let's not kill him, let's just throw him in a pit." 00:09:06.11\00:09:08.24 He was planning to come back later to take him out. 00:09:08.28\00:09:11.91 But he caved in to the peer pressure, right? 00:09:11.95\00:09:16.75 He was a little bit courageous, 00:09:16.79\00:09:18.45 but he wasn't courageous enough to say, 00:09:18.49\00:09:19.89 "No, that's foolishness. 00:09:19.92\00:09:21.42 We shouldn't kill our own brother. 00:09:21.46\00:09:23.76 That's not okay." But they throw him in there. 00:09:23.79\00:09:27.86 And then there's something that happened along the way. 00:09:27.90\00:09:31.33 Daddy Hall, do you have a comment 00:09:31.37\00:09:32.70 or something to share? 00:09:32.73\00:09:34.07 Yes, Uncle Aron, I do. 00:09:34.10\00:09:35.44 You know, we think about the story of Joseph 00:09:35.47\00:09:37.27 and how his brothers wanted to kill him. 00:09:37.31\00:09:39.97 But you know that the Bible says that 00:09:40.01\00:09:41.94 if we hate our brother, it's the same as killing them. 00:09:41.98\00:09:46.18 And so if we hate someone, we're kind of just as bad as 00:09:46.21\00:09:50.82 what Joseph's brothers were when they wanted 00:09:50.85\00:09:53.12 to hurt their brother, 00:09:53.15\00:09:54.49 but who is it that can take hate out of our heart? 00:09:54.52\00:09:57.33 God. 00:09:57.36\00:09:58.69 God can take hate out of our heart. 00:09:58.73\00:10:00.13 Amen. 00:10:00.16\00:10:01.50 Thank you for sharing those insights. 00:10:01.53\00:10:03.20 Yes, Joseph was definitely bullied 00:10:03.23\00:10:05.73 and went through a lot of loneliness there. 00:10:05.77\00:10:08.47 Now when he was thrown in that pit, 00:10:08.50\00:10:11.57 a group of people came along. 00:10:11.61\00:10:14.04 What kind of people were they? 00:10:14.08\00:10:16.91 They were caravan, they weren't Egyptian. 00:10:16.95\00:10:18.88 Oh. She said it. 00:10:18.91\00:10:20.25 She said it. Ishmaelites. 00:10:20.28\00:10:21.62 That's right, Ishmaelites, 00:10:21.65\00:10:22.98 they came along and wait a second. 00:10:23.02\00:10:24.82 Ishmaelites, that means they were descendants from who? 00:10:24.85\00:10:28.29 Ishmael. Ishmael. 00:10:28.32\00:10:29.66 Wait, wasn't Ishmael the son of their grandfather 00:10:29.69\00:10:33.60 or their great grandfather? 00:10:33.63\00:10:35.50 Yeah, Abraham had his first son Ishmael, 00:10:35.53\00:10:38.37 but then the promised son, Isaac, so these were relatives. 00:10:38.40\00:10:42.70 We have some relatives, the Ishmaelites are coming by 00:10:42.74\00:10:46.37 and they said, "You know what? 00:10:46.41\00:10:48.21 We're gonna make profit off of this." 00:10:48.24\00:10:49.88 That's so greedy. That's so greedy. 00:10:49.91\00:10:52.68 Now Joseph was sold 00:10:52.71\00:10:54.48 for these 30 pieces of silver shackles, 00:10:54.52\00:10:57.59 and he was taken away. 00:10:57.62\00:10:59.92 What do you boys and girls think 00:10:59.95\00:11:02.42 was going on in the mind of Joseph? 00:11:02.46\00:11:06.19 What would you be thinking being taken away, 00:11:06.23\00:11:09.46 being betrayed and sold into really slavery 00:11:09.50\00:11:12.83 by your own siblings, 00:11:12.87\00:11:14.54 your own brothers, how would you feel? 00:11:14.57\00:11:16.84 Zachary? I gotta get out of here. 00:11:16.87\00:11:20.24 Somehow. Amen. 00:11:20.28\00:11:21.98 Grandpa will feel that way too. I've got to get out of here. 00:11:22.01\00:11:26.01 Now as he's being taken away, over in the far distance 00:11:26.05\00:11:30.35 he may have been able to just see where, 00:11:30.39\00:11:34.19 right there maybe just over that hill, 00:11:34.22\00:11:36.02 or maybe he could actually see that's where I used to live. 00:11:36.06\00:11:40.06 That must have been awful. 00:11:40.10\00:11:41.76 And he's looking away and he's sad. 00:11:41.80\00:11:44.23 And he's probably thinking, "How can I get out of this?" 00:11:44.27\00:11:46.47 And right when he thought, "How can I get out of this?" 00:11:46.50\00:11:51.11 I like to believe that what popped into his mind 00:11:51.14\00:11:54.34 were the dreams that he had. 00:11:54.38\00:11:57.05 Remember those dreams? 00:11:57.08\00:11:58.81 He knew that God gave him those dreams. 00:11:58.85\00:12:00.52 And those dreams, 00:12:00.55\00:12:01.88 those prophecies had not yet come to fulfillment. 00:12:01.92\00:12:04.49 So we had to cling on to some kind of a hope, 00:12:04.52\00:12:06.79 believing that there will be a time 00:12:06.82\00:12:08.82 where those dreams will come to fulfillment. 00:12:08.86\00:12:11.36 And he knew God was still with him, 00:12:11.39\00:12:14.03 even when he had been forsaken by his own family. 00:12:14.06\00:12:18.00 You know, Uncle Aron, I can imagine that 00:12:18.03\00:12:19.97 when Joseph was just a little boy, 00:12:20.00\00:12:22.20 he spent time reading the Word of God. 00:12:22.24\00:12:25.07 He spent time having worship with his family. 00:12:25.11\00:12:27.94 So, boys and girls, every day when you get up, 00:12:27.98\00:12:31.38 spend time reading the Bible 00:12:31.41\00:12:33.48 and listening to the promises of God. 00:12:33.52\00:12:35.58 I will never leave you or forsake you. 00:12:35.62\00:12:38.05 Because I am sure that 00:12:38.09\00:12:39.45 when Joseph was on that way to Egypt, 00:12:39.49\00:12:42.32 he was reminded of the promises of God 00:12:42.36\00:12:44.89 and it gave him courage to face the challenge ahead. 00:12:44.93\00:12:47.83 That's right. 00:12:47.86\00:12:49.76 Any other thoughts or comments along this story? 00:12:49.80\00:12:52.60 Yeah, Gavin. 00:12:52.63\00:12:54.14 I imagine that 00:12:54.17\00:12:56.71 the Joseph's brothers would learn that, 00:12:56.74\00:13:01.98 "Oh, we did something bad. 00:13:02.01\00:13:06.88 But we don't want to tell father 00:13:06.92\00:13:08.68 because he'll get really mad. 00:13:08.72\00:13:10.42 So we'll just lie to him." 00:13:10.45\00:13:13.12 And they like lied and lied 00:13:13.15\00:13:15.49 and then their father actually, 00:13:15.52\00:13:20.10 like cried and didn't let Benjamin go 00:13:20.13\00:13:25.50 when they had to go to Egypt 00:13:25.53\00:13:27.64 because he didn't want to lose another son. 00:13:27.67\00:13:31.17 Yeah. 00:13:31.21\00:13:33.04 They did do something to his coat, didn't they? 00:13:33.07\00:13:35.78 They did. Oh, yeah. 00:13:35.81\00:13:37.15 They killed a wild animal 00:13:37.18\00:13:39.18 and they put the blood all over it. 00:13:39.21\00:13:41.42 You know what? Now, friends... 00:13:41.45\00:13:42.78 One lie leads to another. Yeah. 00:13:42.82\00:13:45.29 Well, boys and girls, 00:13:45.32\00:13:47.26 that's about all the time we have for now. 00:13:47.29\00:13:49.76 We'll see you next time. 00:13:49.79\00:13:51.13
