Welcome to part forty four 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 things get a little out of control as a man centuries hence who will read this narrative in a humorous, yet literal manner decides to liven up and inject a little action into what is otherwise a mundane story about Josephs favourite cup going missing.

Of course it's disappearance is all part of Joseph's cunning plan to mess with his brethren who still haven't worked out who he is.

Naturally, when its eventually found there is some explaining to do, which Judah does achieves by recapping the previous several chapters in a lengthy monologue with a few obvious omissions.

But this story isn't finished yet so you'll have to wait until the next episode to find out what happens.
