Loved the tie in with the stone with Joseph. Wonderful insight and sure makes sense as the stones are tied through all the scriptures.

[@talkingscripture]

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you too!

Loved this. Gives me so much insight. Even the added approcrophal type instances add real depth though each of us has to decide on validity for ourselves. Thank you

[@juliejacobs3707]

What does approcrophal mean? Very curious. Thank you

Loved this! Have you read the book “The Lost Gospel” by Simcha Jacobvici and Barrie Wilson? Simcha does investigative archeology and is a Canadian-Israeli documentary-maker, Barrie is a religious studies historian and professor at York University in Toronto. They based their book on a translation of a 1,500-year-old version of the story of Joseph and Aseneth written in Syriac, and a letter that accompanied it from 550 A.D. Rediscovered in the British library, they believe this version to be an encoded fifth gospel that was coded into the story of Joseph and Aseneth so it would not be seen as a Christian text and destroyed. Anyways, because the authors are Jewish they commentate through that lens and some of the things they speculate I don’t know that I agree with, so I didn’t quite finish the book. However, I would love an LDS perspective on their theory. If you happen to look into their work, I’d love to hear your thoughts. 😊

You know I think Simeon and Levi went too far but I would want Simeon and Levi as brothers. That they loved their sister enough to get her out of there. Alma says that sex outside of marriage is second unto death. He raped her and then was going to marry her? He didn't love and respect her. What kind of husband would he be to her? What kind of father? This sweet young girl. Is she afraid? What does her trauma look like? The thought that she might have to stay in a place where her rape was justified. Obviously the father of the rapist allows his son to get away with this kind of thing. Is this his first time or is this the first time it was discovered? If he's done it before he could do it again. Would all their intimacy be some sort of rape every time? How many times has he raped her? She is trapped there until her brothers come to get her. My personal opinion is that death outside of the father and the son was too much but if they had left the men would they have gathered together to bring war against Isreal at a later date? This is just my thinking from that time period. What is wrong with the understanding of you can't mess with Isreal if you violate their daughters? I am grateful to see men standing for women when they were treated like property. Whose to say they don't see the saddness of their mother in this? Leah was just given to a man to get her out of the way because it would have been shameful for her to be unmarried when her younger sister was married. There is more depth here and the scholars who translated this obviously didn't see her violation as serious either. The only problem I see here is that they didn't counsel with the Lord

How do I access the show notes please?

[@juliejacobs3707]

This is great stuff, but it's information overload. I'll never remember half of it, lol, but I'll try too.

[@talkingscripture]

It’s a resource. Use what works for you in your life.

[@marceasusanna7749]

I take notes. I have many notebooks filled with notes.
