20. Genesis 27 • Genesis 37:1-2 • 1 Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan. • 2 This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

21. Genesis 37:3-5 • 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors. • 4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him. • 5 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.

22. Genesis 37:6-7 • 6 He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: • 7 for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”

23. Genesis 37:8-9 • 8 His brothers said to him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words. • 9 He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”

24. Genesis 37:10-11 • 10 He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?” • 11 His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

25. Genesis 37:12-14 • 12 His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem. • 13 Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.” • 14 He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

26. Genesis 37:15-17 • 15 A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?” • 16 He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.” • 17 The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

27. Genesis 37:18-20 • 18 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him. • 19 They said one to another, “Behold, this dreamer comes. • 20 Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”

28. Genesis 37:21-23 • 21 Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.” • 22 Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father. • 23 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;

29. Genesis 37:24-26 • 24 and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it. • 25 They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. • 26 Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

30. Genesis 37:27-28 • 27 Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him. • 28 Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt.

31. Genesis 37:29-31 • 29 Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes. • 30 He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?” • 31 They took Joseph’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

32. Genesis 37:32-34 • 32 They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son’s coat or not.” • 33 He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.” • 34 Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

34. James 1 • James 1:1-4 • 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings. • 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, • 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. • 4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

35. James 1:5-7 • 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. • 6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. • 7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

36. James 1:8-10 • 8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. • 9 But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; • 10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

37. James 1:11-13 • 11 For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits. • 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

38. James 1:13-15 • 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. • 14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. • 15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

39. James 1:16-18 • 16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. • 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. • 18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

40. James 1:19-21 • 19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; • 20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God. • 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls .

41. James 1:22-24 • 22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. • 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror; • 24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

42. James 1:25-27 • 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does. • 26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless. • 27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

43. James 2 • James 2:1-2 • 1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality. • 2 For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue , and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;

44. James 2:3-4 • 3 and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, “Sit here in a good place”; and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”; • 4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

45. James 2:5-7 • 5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? • 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? • 7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?

46. James 2:8-10 • 8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well. • 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. • 10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

47. James 2:11-13 • 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. • 12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. • 13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

48. James 2:14-16 • 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him? • 15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, • 16 and one of you tells them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled”; and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

49. James 2:17-19 • 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. • 18 Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith. • 19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

50. James 2:20-22 • 20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? • 21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? • 22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
