Settling In Goshen (Genesis 47)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 31, 2024

Are believers perfect? Let's look at Genesis 47.

Scarlet Cord

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 11, 2024

So the men said to her: “We will be blameless[d] of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, 18 unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your ...read more
