Back after a two week break...
Welcome to part thirty two in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literally
You see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.
In this episode Jacob passes back over the river Jordan and into Canaan and hears news that his brother Esau is coming to meet him...
...With an army of four hundred men
Of course Jacob comes up with a cunning plan and sends all of his stuff ahead of him as presents for his brother in the hope that by the time his brother catches up with him his desire to pull Jacobs scrotum over his head will be somewhat diminished.
Jacob decides to wait a while on the far side of the river and he sends his family off ahead while he spends one last night by himself but he ends up spending the night having a fight with a mystery assailant.
Who is Jacobs's mystery adversary and will Jacob kick his arse and exactly what happened when Jacob met a camp full of Gods angels?
Music:
