Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them. So they hated Joseph. They couldn’t even speak one kind word to him.

They took 40 days to do it. They needed that much time to prepare a body in the right way. The Egyptians mourned for Jacob 70 days.After the days of sadness had passed, Joseph went to Pharaoh’s officials. He said to them,“ If you are pleased with me, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him,

His plans are evil, and he has lies in his heart. He is always stirring up fights.

His brothers said to him,“ Do you plan to be king over us? Will you really rule over us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream. They didn’t like what he had said.

The messengers came back to Jacob. They said,“ We went to your brother Esau. He’s coming now to meet you. He has 400 men with him.”

Don’t become angry quickly. Anger lives in the hearts of foolish people.

To people who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who have twisted minds and don’t believe, nothing is pure. In fact, their minds and their sense of what is right and wrong are twisted.They claim to know God. But their actions show they don’t know him. They are hated by God. They refuse to obey him. They aren’t fit to do anything good.

Then he took his last breath and died. He was very old when he joined the members of his family who had already died. His sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

The Israelites mourned over Moses on the plains of Moab for 30 days. They did it until their time for weeping and crying was over.

They are always in a hurry to sin. They are quick to spill someone’s blood.

Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Abel took care of sheep. Cain farmed the land.After some time, Cain gathered some things he had grown. He brought them as an offering to the Lord.And Abel also brought an offering. He brought the fattest parts of some animals from his flock. They were the first animals born to their mothers. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering.But he wasn’t pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face was sad.Then the Lord said to Cain,“ Why are you angry? Why are you looking so sad?Do what is right and then you will be accepted. If you don’t do what is right, sin is waiting at your door to grab you. It desires to control you. But you must rule over it.”Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” So they went out. There Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Lord, keep me safe from the hands of sinful people. Protect me from those who want to hurt me. They plan ways to trip me up and make me fall.Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path.

Let’s swallow them alive, as the grave does. Let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down into the pit.We’ll get all kinds of valuable things. We’ll fill our houses with what we steal.

Scripture says,“ When you are angry, do not sin.”( Psalm 4:4) Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.Don’t give the devil a chance.

Sinful people make plans to harm those who do what is right. They grind their teeth at them.But the Lord laughs at those who do evil. He knows the day is coming when he will judge them.

The Lord says,“ The people of Edom have sinned again and again. So I will judge them. They chased Israel with swords that were ready to strike them down. They killed the women of the land. They were angry all the time. Their anger was like a fire that blazed out. It could not be stopped.So I will send fire to destroy the city of Teman. It will burn up Bozrah’s forts.”

You were like one of them.That was a time of trouble for your relatives. So you shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. The people of Judah were destroyed. So you should not have been happy about it. You should not have laughed at them so much when they were in trouble.You should not have marched through the gates of my people’s city when they were in trouble. You shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. You should not have stolen their wealth when they were in trouble.You waited where the roads cross. You wanted to cut down those who were running away. You should not have done that. You handed over to their enemies those who were still left alive. You should not have done that. They were in trouble.

The Lord and King says,“ Edom got even with Judah. That made Edom very guilty.”The Lord continues,“ I will reach out my hand against Edom. I will kill its people and their animals. I will completely destroy it. They will be killed by swords from Teman all the way to Dedan.I will use my people Israel to pay Edom back. They will punish Edom because my anger against it is great. They will know how I pay back my enemies,” announces the Lord and King.The Lord and King says,“ Deep down inside them, the Philistines hated Judah. So the Philistines tried to get even with them. They had been Judah’s enemies for many years. So they tried to destroy them.”

“‘ “People of Edom, you have been Israel’s enemies for a long time. You let many Israelites be killed by swords when they were in great trouble. At that time I used Nebuchadnezzar to punish them and destroy them completely.

At one time we too acted like fools. We didn’t obey God. We were tricked. We were controlled by all kinds of desires and pleasures. We were full of evil. We wanted what belongs to others. People hated us, and we hated one another.

Absalom ordered his men,“ Listen! When Amnon has had too much wine to drink, I’ll say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down.’ When I do, kill him. Don’t be afraid. I’ve given you an order, haven’t I? Be strong and brave.”So Absalom’s men killed Amnon, just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got on their mules and rode away.

Please save me from the hand of my brother Esau. I’m afraid he’ll come and attack me and the mothers with their children.
