When he stood up, the earth shook. When he looked at the nations, they trembled with fear. The age- old mountains crumbled. The ancient hills fell down. But he marches on forever.

His father Isaac answered him,“ You will live far away from the fruit of the earth. You will live far away from the dew of heaven above.You will live by using the sword. And you will serve your brother. But you will grow restless. Then you will throw off the heavy load he has caused you to carry.”

Listen to the word of the Lord. Listen, you who tremble with fear when he speaks. He says,“ Some of your own people hate you. They turn their backs on you because you are faithful to me. They make fun of you and say,‘ Let the Lord show his glory by saving you. Then we can see how happy you are.’ But they will be put to shame.

I sank down to the bottom of the mountains. I thought I had died and gone down into the grave forever. But you are the Lord my God. You brought my life up from the very edge of the pit of death.

“ Jacob’s sons were jealous of their brother Joseph. So they sold him as a slave. He was taken to Egypt. But God was with him.

The traders from Midian came by. Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the well. They sold him to the Ishmaelite traders for eight ounces of silver. Then the traders took him to Egypt.

They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob. That is where your people of long ago lived. They, their children, their children’s children, and their children after them will live there forever. And my servant from David’s family line will be their prince forever.I will make a covenant with them. It promises to give them peace. The covenant will last forever. I will make them my people. And I will cause there to be many of them. I will put my temple among them forever.

The mountains might shake. The hills might be removed. But my faithful love for you will never be shaken. And my covenant that promises peace to you will never be removed,” says the Lord. He shows you his loving concern.

He sent a man ahead of them into Egypt. That man was Joseph. He had been sold as a slave.The Egyptians put his feet in chains. They put an iron collar around his neck.He was in prison until what he said would happen came true. The word of the Lord proved that he was right.The king of Egypt sent for Joseph and let him out of prison. The ruler of many nations set him free.He put Joseph in charge of his palace. He made him ruler over everything he owned.Joseph was in charge of teaching the princes. He taught the elders how to think and live wisely.

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ.

May the Mighty God bless you. May he give you children. May he make your family larger until you become a community of nations.May he give you and your children after you the blessing he gave to Abraham. Then you can take over the land where you now live as an outsider. It’s the land God gave to Abraham.”

His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.

So Jacob went to him and kissed him. When Isaac smelled the clothes, he gave Jacob his blessing. He said,“ It really is the smell of my son. It’s like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed.May God give you dew from heaven. May he give you the richness of the earth. May he give you plenty of grain and fresh wine.May nations serve you. May they bow down to you. Rule over your brothers. May the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed. And may those who bless you be blessed.”

“ Say to the Israelites,‘ Suppose a man or woman wants to make a special promise. They want to set themselves apart to the Lord for a certain period of time. They want to be Nazirites.

I will put shame on his enemies as if it were their clothes. But he will wear on his head a shining crown.”
