Welcome to part forty 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, or should that be Israel, send his boys to pick up a shipment from Egypt.
It's a simple job, take a big bag of money, do the deal and come back with as much merchandise as you can carry but somehow they are recognised and the deal goes sour.
Someone is playing dirty and the man down in Egypt recons that it's Jacobs boys and that they are there to spy on his operation and so he throws them all in the cooler for a couple of days while he thinks about what he is going to do with them
In the end he takes one of them hostage until they can return with someone who can vouch for them and send them on their way but when they get back home they find that someone has stashed the money they had taken to pay for the shipment back in their luggage and so its only a matter of time before the man down in Egypt realises that he has been double crossed and send his men after them
