“A thing that thrives in understanding is a thing in balance.” - G.S.MinistrDef

Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father?s wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him. His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn?t speak a kind word to him.
